My local had been doing draught, bottles and cans takeaway on Friday and Saturday nights and have been told sale of draught alcohol is forbidden in Glasgow.  What the f**k is going on. 

Roolz gone mad.

I can only guess they are trying to stop a (small) problem that existed in the summer when it was nice and warm and folk were stoating around the streets drinking takeaway pints. 

Not a  particularly popular pass time when it is pishing it down, freezing and dark.

City of Edinburgh now the highest in the country for cases today. Would seem like they were correctly put in Tier 3.

I don't quite understand that - some fancy beer shops do refillables via draught and I don't think they've stopped.

This long covid seems to last months though. My MiL is only just able to walk about properly without being completely cunted and it must be 3 months or something since she had it. She did have a proper dose though, although don't think that makes much difference 

Edit: proper flu is absolutely fucking brutal, no two ways about it 

Flu is horrible (not just the bad colds that people claim as 'flu'). I was floored for over a week with it and struggled to even get out of bed. 

By all accounts some of the Saints players that have had covid were hit pretty hard by it as well.

Isn't that normal regs relating to "off sales" rather than anything to do with C19 ? I think it was brought up on here when the west end pubs were doing it in the summer that it contravened licensing regs.

I had an absolute brutal cold at the tail end of last year. Funnily enough I lost my sense of taste but that was near the end of it and lasted about 3 days. Definitely not the flu but the worst cold I’ve had in over 10 years.

Funnily enough, I was just thinking this is the longest into December I’ve gone without a cold. I absolutely blame those people who go to offices absolutely riddled with the cold/flu who think it’s impressive to work through their illnesses.

5 year old granddaughter has to self isolate for 10 days as someone in contact with her class has tested positive for COVID-19 (we've deduced it's the teacher). P2s have also to self isolate. Also means her big brother has to stay at home too. And the one in the middle won't be going to his school, either.

10 days of self isolation from yesterday, as far as I can gather. (The contact was listed as 11th December.)

Not sure how stringent the self isolation will be as they are all in the same house, and the two boys share a bedroom. If there are no symptoms by the end of the week she might be O.K.

Two pupils have tested positive (plus the teacher) and the school has been closed.

Post viral fatigue syndrome has been recognised for ages and you cant help but think they are including that within the numbers of "long covid".  I had glandular fever in my late 20s and was gubbed for weeks after the cold/flu like symptoms and the touch of hepatitis that accompanied them disappeared.

I had understood long covid to mean restricted lung capacity etc long after recovery should have been expected, not just feeling a bit knackered.

I haven't had a cold since starting to take vitamin D in the winter a few years ago. 

A self-reported survey of those with Covid is a hypochondriac's charter and nothing more. Absolute NAP that Sridhar and the gang will be using it to shriek against lifting measures by February-March though.

Once the AZ/Oxford vaccine gets regulatory approval you could effectively go door to door with it. I'd expect us to really ramp up vaccinations at that point.

I would suggest training post men to administer it, but they'd fūck it all under a bridge and go drinking somewhere.

I'd have like to have thought if it kept some businesses afloat , pubs would have been allowed to have sold remaining beer, licensing laws or not.

Was nice of Steedman to waffle for the best part of 10 mins just to tell us that she has no idea how long will it take to get people vaccinated.

Needed more insincere touches of the sternum imo.

FWIW, I find it weird watching her as she looks remarkably like my aunt did ~20 years ago.  Can I still say "wid"? (Steedman, not the aunt)  :unsure:

^^^ sad that pornhub has deleted 75% of its content.

I received an email from St Johns Ambulance today asking me to volunteer to be involved with dishing out the vaccine down here. I would assume they will be doing it with all the first aiders they have on their records.

Jesus, I'm not having that! I want a Doctor or at worst a Nurse to administer mine, not some doddery old volunteer or juvenile blimp out of the Godfrey or Pike mould.

Three different roles being offered, effectively admin, patient welfare & vaccination itself. There is a long list of requirements but would think those sorts will be kept well away from the actual needles after the selection process.
