craigkillie Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 How can it be a joyous occasion if they're not allowed to mix inside or outside, meanwhile in the real world hundreds of employers are dealing with absences this morning and looking forward to further no shows for the rest of the week. Yes, the poor employers are the real victims in all of this as usual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading a thread on Twitter last night about how good it is that the lockdown sceptic crackpots have all started putting smiley faces as their avatars as it allows you to easily identify them and ignore/block. The FBPE and #45 stuff is also handy. Specificly related to Covid the hashtag #KBF is kind of like the smiley face and there seems to be a lot of blue hearts that seem to correlate to the #FBPE consitutency but doesn't match entirely for a like-for-like nutcase factor. One to watch IMO. Edited March 8, 2021 by ICTChris -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not said anything about poor employers, quite a few of them will be celebrating as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fife Saint Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Two wrongs don’t make a right but I also note that St J had asked their fans NOT to come to the ground.I may have missed it and apologise if I have but I saw no similar announcement or statement from a club that had previously issued statements like confetti! Saints are usually quite diligent, im surprised they didnt have someone at the car park entrance stopping anyone wandering up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 that was their plan all along brilliant, a plan which by their own admission put members of staffs health at risk. I don't think that statement will do them any favours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The British public's attitude at large is everyone should be punished, except me who is special and protagonist of life. It's becoming increasingly clear that people want restrictions / passports in place going forward not because they care about others, but because they are absolutely shiting themselves after being hooked only to mainstream news for a year. Why would you need a vaccine passport to enter a carehome, where the residents and staff were among the first to be vaccinated? These people are going to get left behind in a few months time.

MP_MFC Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Without knowing enough to go into any great detail, is it not likely that deaths will be higher from it purely cause it hit in the peak time of year for deaths by respiratory illnesses regardless? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Is it that the strain (pre-print conscious) is more lethal, or the fact that it is more transmissible leads to more deaths? I tried reading it but it's just words I do recognise all joined together in a senseless fashion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
