I was watching the news about Germany yesterday and how well they are doing track and trace, every shop or cafe that is visited have to log details of each person. We do seem to be blindly throwing tests to as many as we can without any real direction. We seem eat up on testing figures that really mean little. I’d prefer to hear that we’d done 20,000 tests and every person who was tested positive was tracked and traced back over who they’d had contact with and then those people were tested too. 100,000 tests means little when you’ve little to no idea who they have been near. I’m super grateful how the government have supported small businesses and self employed but I’m now fearful they threw so much money at everything early doors that there is nothing left to support another peak so it would be a case of battle through it. I don’t get how we still have more cases now than prior to the lockdown yet they’re confident enough to lift certain restrictions and keep the R rate down. My local B&Q had queues around the car park, is was estimated people were queuing for over two hours to get in. Starbucks over the road had a 40 minute queue at their drive through for a coffee. Nando’s collection only people were queuing for a staggering 90 minutes in their cars to get into the car park to collect. Everyone also seem to believe 2 meters is an arms length away
Well, I’m sure there were fine people on both sides.... Are you referring to Crazy, as a coot, Clint?
No, I'm referring to Clint the fine actor and director and a good right winger, just like John Wayne..
Next president for the USA, they've had cowboys, presidents wives with a set of bollocks (according to LL) and a Terminator running Los Angeles so why not Dirty Harry
Terminator was the “Governator of Kalifornia" another failed experiment of an actor (currently a reality tv host) pretending to be a politician.
Yes I admit I thought we were over reacting but it feels like we are playing the middle ground now. I don’t mind if they lift the lockdown that never really was a lockdown for everyone or if they’d done some kind of super lockdown. We’re going to have to learn to live with it, so for me personally I’d have had an extreme lockdown for 2-3 weeks before lifting it for all and tracing every new infection. The way it is at the moment is really unfair for some
Was talking to a mate in Macedonia. During the week, amongst other things, they have a curfew at 7pm. 4pm at the weekends! And we think we've got it bad!
The problem comes when we open up the sky again, 6 million a month Jan, Feb, March, that brought us the virus and will again if we are not very careful. All the talk of late summer holidays could bring a second wave.
I don't see the problem building a wall, if people came over the border legally you wouldn't have to build one.
Borders are absolutely necessary! His promise was a gas-lighting campaign slogan tapping into unrealistic fears and racist paranoia. The largest number of illegal immigrants are people who come in legally and never leave. Drugs primarily come in on planes and ships and through underground tunnels. This picture was taken at the White House Rose Garden this past week:
Thought that was American politicians. So it's racist to stop people illegally entering another country. Shall we talk about South Africa?
No need. stick to the US, and wonder what would happen if the present illegal immigrants acted in the same way that the originals did just over 200 years ago. How easily they forget their origins. (And we are right up there for criticising too, btw).
