cyderspaceman Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 On BBC news, they were talking about a 'physical' track and trace system using 20,000 folk to investigate contacts. I can't get my head round it. They used an example of 9 contacts from one positive person. They would then contact all 9 and ask who they had been in contact with and so on. If each person meets another 9 people that results in a fkn huge number in no time. 9x9=81 9x81=729 9x729=6,561 9x6,561=59,049.......you can see where I'm going with this. There's no way this can work. Have I missed something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to let them die if it means the pub doesn’t have social distancing and screens when they open. c**t. I didn’t know the elderly or those in the “at risk” category, would be forced into pubs or to restaurants? If they want to shield to be on the safe then so be it, but EVERYONE shouldn’t be punished for it 4 hours ago, bendan said: Jesus.

Three weeks after that we'll all be watching football again. It's an absolute certainty. If only!

Manufacturing factories were never forced to close though, they were told if they couldn't create safe working spaces then they would need to furlough staff, but as I said earlier most factories will have been operating in some shape or form if they've been able to. What’s weird about it? What’s weird about me disliking people telling me that life as we know it has gone, and we are facing a ‘new normal’. My experience of life recently has been one of people shitting themselves if someone coughs or sneezes twenty feet away from them, and staring daggers at you if you aren’t exactly 2m away from them. People walking around wearing masks and gloves. Shop workers wearing perspex masks. Queuing for a pint of milk with tape on the pavement. Want me to go on? So, what’s weird about me railing against this current way of life being described as normal at alll? In any way, shape or form, it is far from normal.

H Wragg Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Nicola Sturgeon has just said on Reporting Scotland that the meeting another household thing does NOT restrict you to meeting the same one household each time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't want to be in Gorbals because it had a 'bad name'. 'Battlefield', however, is such a lovely name... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 This is my question. If all the schools are open, and am a key worker to get childcare, would my kids go to their own school/nursery every day?And following on from this, if the nursery class is 60 kids, split to 30/30 but 10 or 15 parent have key worker status and do the same, what's the point in having the other kids off?Social distancing cannot and will not exist at nursery, P1 etc because the hounding the teachers will have to do will render the kids even being there pointless 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet no Scottish fitba with fans for the foreseeable. I just don’t understand that tbh I don't think there is too much point getting worked up about details like that atm. Far better to err on the pessimistic side, than make rash statements either way (like that Dutch guy). The way the virus is trending in most of the world, providing it continues to show no uptick as a result of easing, this could quite easily all blow over much much sooner than we all think. Unlike BJ, NS has outlined a route map that does allow for an accelerated pace, though I think we can all agree it's probably not going to be used that way in practice under any circumstances. I also understand why someone going abroad on holiday is less of a public health risk than 50,000 inside Celtic Park. Be honest, if the season kicks off in August and turnstiles are clicking before Hallowe'en absolutely everybody here right now would take that.

I just don’t understand that tbh As the have announced there will be a quick test available (30mins) I believe limited air travel will be allowed if negative tested and isolated on the day of travel. I suppose the could do something like this for fitba but there would be limited to small crowds and probably not worth all the hassle to the clubs, governing bodies etc...travel is big bucks scottish fitba is small change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
