MuckleMoo Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Just got a call from my daughter who came out of self isolation last Thursday. This was due to one of her teachers testing positive. She was taken out of class this morning and is now back in self isolation as a boy she sits beside in history has now tested positive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many people across the country are having to have the same argument with their spouses/extended families just because our leaders are refusing to show some leadership on this issue. Ive got a close family member who regularly breaks the rules, their other half has a large extended family and social media shows them mixing directly, having large family get togethers and just essentially not bothering with the rules at all. They’ve fallen out with me because I’ve knocked back the invite of going to theirs on Christmas, apparently I dont have the spirit of Christmas and dont care about seeing their kid on the day etc. Ive pointed out that I think the relaxing of the restrictions is mental and given their flouting of the rules id rather give them a wide steer. This has caused a massive fall out, but for me, im not willing to risk my kid having to stay indoors for 14nights just because someone in the family is acting selfishly, also feel that given the mrs and I are key workers (and she’ll likely be involved in vaccine delivery) that we kind of have a responsibility to muck in just now. Is anyone else having difficulty getting through to thick headed family members? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shops and gyms were mobbed all week in every area going into 4 yet there is still a decrease. It's f**k all to do with the new restrictions. What did I attribute it to Tier 4 ? I just gave out numbers. Some people really need to read more carefully before spouting off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven W Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 NS may come under some pressure after BJs announcement re football fans, but I can't think from who. Only Dave Cormack at Aberdeen has been vocal about the issue. The other clubs have said very little. The SFA / JRG would appear to have their own agenda re the whole issue. The non-league clubs' #letfansin camps has been ignored by all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the first lockdown I used the in laws to watch the kids. Same this time round although I think it may be allowed now.... Regardless, if that gets banned, I will still do it. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to my grandads every Saturday and sit indoors with him and have a cup of tea despite him being in a bubble with my mum. If you want to accuse me of me being too kindhearted then go ahead I can take it. He's also free and easy with codeine. ETA we have discussed the risks and he says he would rather take his chances than sit in alone. I guess that's a flippant thing to say when your not gasping for breath on a ventilator with no family around but it's up to him.

Guest Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 2 hours ago, WhiteRoseKillie said: Well, for a start they could tell the population who haven't worked out after eight fucking months that this pandemic is not playing by any rules and refuses to fit into a convenient box that we DON'T FUCKING KNOW whether relaxing restrictions will be a welcome teaser of the good, post-vaccine times to come, or a harbinger of the NHS being so overwhelmed - again - that there won't be sufficient fit staff to administer the vaccine. A month out, experience with this virus shows "the science" has been nothing but guesswork. Guesswork with pretty slides and graphs, to be fair, but guesswork all the same. Still, as long as the hoi-polloi can trawl round B&M and Home Bargains (essential shops in England, apparently) for a load of Chinese platic tat, what's a few (thousand) more dead pensioners? This Christmas could well be a Foinavon moment. We can just about see the finishing line of this shite, and are apparently willing to throw all progress away for the sake of eating and drinking ourselves into a stupor. Well done us. It's also setting a dangerous precedent as the Chinese, Jews, Muslims, Hindus etc will be wanting carte blanche for all their important festivals and quite rightly so. It really is a ridiculous decision to be making and basically makes a mockery of any future or indeed past rules and restrictions, it's game over I'm afraid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although it doesn't look like an official press release) Basically asking for the same set of rules up here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Do all the vaccines treat the virus the same way? In other words if you got three separate jags would they be collectively more effective than any single one? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 My parents are in fife, we've already agreed that even if that we are allowed to travel (from East lothian) for any reason, we aren't going to bother. Especially as both of them have had health issues in the past, it's not really worth the risk or hassle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
