Coronavirus (COVID-19)

[Marshmallo]

 

This is even more daft than what we're doing up here

[UsedToGoToCentralPark]

Open everything now, this is getting ridiculous, deaths continue to go down, we shouldn't really care cases are up as the people getting it now aren't likely to die.

[Lyle Lanley]

I’m all for the SG keeping fans out of stadiums especially after watching that performance today.

I’m going to a wedding in a few weeks, and last night was told that one of my in-laws had a meltdown during the week claiming that he’s not going due to the risk of Covid and actually going as far as angrily ranting that we shouldn’t be allowed to have weddings at the moment due to the risk. He’s healthy, mid 20s and has had first dose of the vaccine.

Not my family so held back from utterly losing the plot and having a seething heads gone at someone being such a moronic wet wipe, but genuinely furious at it. I have slight sympathy for these people who’ve been brainwashed by governments and media over the last 15 months that regardless of how healthy and young you are you’ll die if you leave the house, but any idiot should know by now that the risk is absolutely minute.

My flatmate was telling me that one of the previous tenants left because she threw a massive fit at him for going on a socially distanced date and "threatening her life".

This was in February of this year.

Are pubs generally sticking to the stupid 2 hour time slot thing as laid out in the virus roolz? 

Asking from somewhere that you can't get inside for pint.

Covid vaccination certificates hit by security glitch

How secure are they?

 

What difference does it actually make?  Anyone could mock up a copy of the document anyway.  It's an electronic file not a banknote.

When you say socially distanced date, do you mean he didnt get his jam roll and is saving face? Because i applaud the tenacity.

I've not been in a pub that has a time limit

Anyone have the first minister’s email address as i would like to ask her to ban fans from Stadiums for the foreseeable future to save others watching that performance today.

Robbies on Leith walk was but it was packed both inside and out and I guess people had booked.

Nowhere else I’ve been was bothered.

There was certainly no mention of a 2 hour time slot at my local yesterday evening. I was there from 7 until 10.30 with no issues.

The only places that bother are the big sites that end up fully booked. They’ve committed to give someone else your table so have to chuck you out if they turn up.

Places that only do walk-ins or aren’t that busy won’t throw you out.

Got my first shot today. Turned up 20 mins early to chance my arm as I wanted to get home in time to watch the football. They didn't mind, I was out before my original appointment time. Was really busy, some operation they have going on. A lot of my mates were done today as well.

I’ve just seen a scotgov advert on the tv about a site that has coping tips on restrictions opening up in case you’re nervous about it

Top tips:

1) Stick your head in the toilet pan.

2) Pull the flusher.

3) Repeat until no longer necessary.

Watching the Heineken Cup Final at the moment - people inside the ground AND sitting enjoying a drink while they watch it - Sturgeon and Leitch will be raging, imagine people attending a sporting fixture and drinking.
