Coronavirus (COVID-19)


Recommended Posts

Try going down the Mecca and belting out a couple of hymns during the National and let us know how you get on..
Seriously, I'd have the cinema and bingo as the safer two simply down to orientation and lack of singing/praying out loud. All else, like ventilation, being equal.

Part of me agrees, but...

1. It is only “up to” 50 with 2m distancing,

2. Given the age demographic of most Church goers in Scotland, if there is no uptick in cases / deaths on the back of this, it should be open season on everything else after,

3. Given the overall view on “god botherers” on here, why wouldn’t they be your perfect guinea pigs?

Stand in the garden and aim.  Much more fun.  

 

But yes, I think that was mentioned.  Pretty much as it was last June - if you need to go indoors to get to an outdoors area or to use the loo then that's fine but to practice hygiene .

Back to the first lifting last time where you can go through the house if it's necessary to get to the back garden, and you can go in for a pish

Yes allowed indoors to get to a garden or go for a pish. Or shite if needed.

Trying to avoid a full heads-gone at the places of worship one.  I get the religion is important to a lot of people, I get that churches, mosques, synagogues etc. all do good work in their local community and I also understand that there are religious festivals coming up. 
But at the same time, is it not wrong for the government to start cherry-picking what indoor socialising is acceptable, while preaching to us about the science?  It either is or isn't "safe" for 50 people to meet indoors with social distancing/masks, so why allow it for certain reasons but not others if this is a purely scientific decision? All of the arguments made for places of worship could be be applied to any number of clubs or organisations who will continue to be closed for some time.  
Just to balance the frustration at that policy, I am pleased for there at least to be acknowledgement that further easing can happen should the data continue to go the way it is currently going and that vaccines appear to be reducing not only hesitations and deaths, but transmission too.  Will be interesting to see what the route-map looks like next Tuesday.  


The pub is my place of worship

Sturgeon: "We must not meet people from other household indoors yet, that is absolutely essential"

Unless you're in the minority of the country that attends a place of worship of course.

Maybe they should follow their good book. Matthew 6:6 - But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

So for anyone who wants to meet up with more than a couple of pals in the extremely well ventilated outdoors just head along to your nearest church for a wee sing song indoors despite the SG, Letich etc telling us that the virus thrives on people congregating indoors...

Sound.

So from 26th March, people suffering from a mild delusional illness are permitted to gather in groups of up to 50 in order to grovel to their imaginary friend, but you can't get a haircut or enjoy a pint in a practically deserted pub?

Is there a bias towards religious people here?

Given Jason Leitch is a massive god botherer then I would say so.

Perhaps the church opening is a petri dish. Most of these congregations will be old fuckers who are well on their way to a second jag.

This lot of dinosaur deniers  survive shouting all over each other in a confined space for an hour and it might well be game on for more popular/useful things to open up.

Well, that’s my head gone.

I've been upset, elated, frustrated, disappointed on pretty much a constant cycle with these briefings. This is the first time I can genuinely say I'm angry. There's absolutely no justification to be put forward for it.
