welshbairn Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Was planning to stick to pub beer gardens and tins in the park to fuel my alcoholism in a socially responsible isolationist way, but apparently open air is a bad thing. Quote Authorities in Madrid, the capital of Spain, have not ruled out a lockdown of the capital, the mayor said on Friday, as the number of cases in the region reached 2,000, Sam Jones reports from the city. José Luia Martínez-Almeida told Antena 3 TV that he had not discarded the idea of locking down the city, saying it would be “irresponsible” not to look at every possible scenario. He added: "We can’t say that it’s going to happen immediately, nor can we say we’ve ruled it out." The mayor also suspended licenses for terraces and seating areas outside bars and cafés in the capital, urging owners to shut them down before it became mandatory. He said “stricter measures would be needed” to halt the spread of the virus, adding that children’s play areas in parks would be closed from Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Sorry dont mean to be rude but the guidelines are all over the place and inconsistent.1. The guidelines are just that. Guidelines. Not hard and fast rules. 2. They really aren’t, unless you are referring to Trumpy boy’s insane ramblings and ad hoc policy making, which you were praising yesterday in these very pages.Sit down with a quality newspaper, or the Today programme and some time out from reacting to every damn post on Pie and Bovril, and you’ll alleviate many of your concerns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 The wife just texted me in a fit of seethe saying she was almost refused entry onto the No22 bus as she did a wee cough as she was getting on. How I laughed (which was not the correct response apparently). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
