Todd_is_God Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) I don't think it would be unrealistic for businesses to suggest if you are that concerned about sanitising your hands regularly that you can bring your own mini bottle. Something which has been an option for years, yet I don't recall seeing anyone other than Sheldon Cooper using any. Short term it might be good PR for businesses to act as a confidence booster, but ultimately it's a solution to a problem which really doesn't exist. As Left Back mentioned earlier, we've survived pretty well without hand sanitiser in every single building to date. I wouldn't be surprised if hypersanitising our hands, as well as being physically bad for our skin, actually has a slight negative impact on our immune systems when used over prolonged periods, particularly in young children.

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 When I next go to Hampden to watch QP v Seaside I or II FC in front of 543 souls, will my now customary wee bottle of hand sanitiser in my right hip pocket survive the pat down by the aviricious Rock Steady thin yellow line?(That I may never again go to Hampden to watch QP v Anybody is something I don't want to entertain yet.)In that scenario, rather than giving up my slime, I'm pouring the entire bottle onto my paws. I'll have the most slippy hands that Hampden ever did see. (Other than Ray Clemence 1976.) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like the idea of smuggling vodka into Hampden for a QP v Ed City game claiming it's alcoholic hand santiser. "HAW YE, OOT! AH SAW YE DRINKING THAT SANITISER" "PISS AFF.

I think back to Michael Jackson having his kids' toys replaced and having the rooms sanitised every single day, and they seemed to be the most consistently ill kids on the planet at the time. Think they looked like s**t to the point he* banned them from looking in mirrors. *'Man in the Mirror' guy Edited March 9, 2021 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be quite a laugh actually if normality is back and there are no outright restrictions, but without any laws remaining in place there's still governmental advice that just to be safe you should sanitise as often as possible and there's no harm wearing a mask, with a not insignificant number of people choosing to do these things. How will stewards handle finding a bottle of sanitiser which could apparently be used as a projectile in the course of an over-zealous patdown? Will the police accept a face covering stopping them getting a look at someone's face to decide if they don't like it or not, depriving them of the opportunity to aggressively single them out to tell them to sit down later to relieve their boredom? This new normal which is definitely going to happen is full of possibilities for hilarity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing millions of tests every week on school kids with no symptoms will raise infection levels. 1 in every 100 kids involved in school lateral flow testing during any week will deliver a false positive according to the Royal Statistical society. Hopefully parents are smart enough to pull their kids out of it. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirty dingus Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) 5 hours ago, Elixir said: The most pointless white elephants going. A White Elephant is usully something built from scratch and left abandoned as a waste of money, I'm sure when your bopping around to Girls Aloud in the venue in 2022 you'll reject your White Elephant claim. There was an article showing how much work was carried out in the LJ as well as record breaking vaccine numbers. The temporary hospital at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) was built in three weeks to provide extra capacity for coronavirus patients at the height of the pandemic. Since then it has seen over 12,000 patients for scans, outpatient appointments and postponed non-Covid planned healthcare. The facility has also been used to train nearly 5,000 NHS staff and students in administering the coronavirus vaccine.
