I see there's now one rule in effect to protect teuchter islanders from an outbreak spreading but another one for the mainlanders who should tolerate infection factories staying open for the sake of the snippy parent brigade.

Madrid refuses new lockdown.

The leader says: 'People get run over every day, but that doesn't mean we ban cars.'

She said that in May m8

We should copy the prevention measures of said teuchter islanders.. 

 

 

...and build a Wicker Man and burn these snippy parents

Spanish central govt urges Madrid to lockdown as infections rise but Conservative leader of the city fears economic collapse and refuses.

Insanity flies under the radar -

Where are these rules, are people not to know them until they break them?

That idea would probably make for a good Kafkaesque style novel.

New law to fine pubs £1,000 for 'allowing dancing' or playing music at 86 decibels

That headline reminded me of an old joke:

Why are Wee Frees against sex?

Because it might lead to dancing

The 'example graph' was a simple extrapolation of the trend at that time: even a chief clownshoe like Whitty specifically said that it wasn't to be interpreted as an actual projection of future cases.

You've been whooshed.

There is now growing talk, hinted at by the FM last week, that there will be a one or two week lockdown at some point in October to try and stem the cases. Details obviously aren’t decided but it would involve all pubs, restaurants and non-essential shops closing, working from non enforced, strict social distancing enforcement etc.

In the article I read, schools would stay open. While this may be questionable from a public health standpoint, in terms of terms of the development and progress of this thread and the heads gone, I’m all for it. Priorities.

Methadone Mick frothing at the mouth about nippy parents will be peak reading.

Get the popcorn out.

Working from non enforced?

Ah the old circuit breaker rhetoric.  Top plan, close everything for a fortnight then open it all back up.  That will work.

I'm sure businesses will love that.  Last time I checked NHS was coping admirably so that's not a reason to do it either.

Don't panic Mannering...

I can see a significant amount of seethe if this goes ahead (I certainly will be) as the government specifically told people to avoid going abroad on holidays during the summer and to have staycations in Scotland during this time. If they then decide to do this circuit breaker during the school October holidays when a large number of people will have booked their staycations, leading to mass cancellations, I hope there’s anarchy.

Kid 2 now not sleeping as he/she has realised they are ok to chat with in the park, but not enough of a friend to get an invite to the sleepover.

As if it happened.

I think it'll happen. It's looking likely. 

I think our leaders have gotten a little power crazy. Doesn't feel like a democracy any more.
