Got it. I received a news flash on my phone from BBC that said "wearing of face masks in school will become mandatory". I went to the site and that said basically the same. That is what I said on the board. The next mornings news it said face masks in schools will be mandatory in communal spaces and in high risk areas at the discrecion of head teacher/local education board. I admit I do not know if there was a Uturn, sloppy reporting or just a small news bite that never included all the details. So I was wrong to say it was a Uturn. I owe you a fiver...and some cake Sorry
You are right Col, question after question. Politicians sway the facts to suit their point of view...as we all do (me included). I feel we have managed to get ourselves in a real panic, where nobody knows what to do.It is not good leadership..(compare to the relative calm of NZ and Sweden) I do think Covid panic is hiding other things ...but unlike Butthuber it is not global domination by lizard men...but it is a smokescreen for Brexit. And nobody is panicking that Geoff Cameron is our Club Captain... I ask you that is a bigger problem than even Brexit
Mmm.....I don't buy this 'covid is a smokescreen to hide brexit'. Are we over reacting to the threat now or not in your opinion? Is it worse than seasonal flu in your opinion? Are fit people with no underlying health problems occasionally getting very ill from covid in your opinion? Should we, as suggested by some on here, simply accept covid as a relatively mild infection and just return completely to normal?
Or you are so keen to make your point that you don't bother to read exactly what someone has written. Anyway, football tomorrow.
It is worse than seasonal flu at this moment Col. We don't normally get seasonal flu till Nov/ Dec time
I think it's just that our mate Staines is a little suspicious of whether people are telling the truth or not.
I think (as you've said before) we have to do what we think is right for ourselves and close ones. Sometimes it's made more difficult by others actions or lack of actions.
And still my mother in law cant book a test!!! It's a ****ing farce. For arguments sake, say she has it. There could be numerous people (up to 40 at the last count) she has been in contact with in the last 3 days. They could be all infected, totally unaware. World beating system my arse! No wonder the infection rate is climbing.
And if all those 40 people just met, say 3 others and so on and so on. The incompetence is frightening, it really is.
Me neither Bob, was gonna ask how you’re getting on.....fingers crossed for 8pm. My lads girlfriend was at a local testing centre today and said it was chaos. Massive queues and idiots turning up on the off chance
