Off Topic Covid 19 restrictions have done one

going up to the bar to be served feels very weird, tbh I preferred table service. Was hoping it would remain in place

 

Everyone I've spoken with says the same!

 

It wouldn't feel normal in a lot of pubs if people were behaving in them.

 

Info now published on City website. In brief:

1. Wear masks when moving around
2. Take off mask when you are sat down, and
3. More generally, don't be a **** around other people (not the exact wording the OWS uses)

There is a new list of things you can't bring into the stadium, people who insist on bringing conspicuous man-bags full of clutter and detritus beware.

 

Good spot.
I have the app but have asked for one to be sent too in case

 

I don't really understand why the paper one lasts forever and the digital one runs out. I've tried reading it up but it makes me very, very tired...

 

No I don’t either but may as well get it anyway

 

Everything looks sensible, hopefully all will adhere to the rules - we can wish.

 

I've not been to a pub in two years, something like that anyway.

So I thought I'd do some research and I nipped into what used to be my local.

It was like that from scene in American Werewolf...

There was a silence when I entered and then and then someone said, "Oh it's just Kempton ffs".

 

Was there a pentangle on the wall?

Didn't anyone tell you to 'Stay on the Road' and 'Keep clear of the moors'?

 

Hospitalisations have crept up slightly but isn’t the average in-stay time down?

 

As I understand it, the slight increase in hospitalisations is predominantly in the young and un-vaccinated, but as you suggest, they are spending less time in hospital than previous patients, and are leaving alive, which is the main thing.

 

A big factor is the lower number of people currently requiring intensive care - the average length of stay in ICU for patients with Covid seems to vary between (around) 20 to 30 days depending upon the procedures they have to undergo. This length of stay can soon start to create capacity problems though as most major surgery for cancers or cardiac problems require ICU beds usually for only a few days and most units are just not set up to accommodate many long stay patients.. Effectively we can develop an ICU bed blocking problem even at relatively low levels of Covid hospitalisations.

 

Slippery slope, you said you supported mandated vaccination for care home owners, now young fit footballers are to be mandated as well, this won't be stopping with them unless theres a strong push back, why can't people not see one thing leads to another ? look at vaccine passports and churches, zero common sense involved in these decisions ?

 

A Covid-positive Indonesian man who disguised himself as his wife to board a domestic flight was caught mid-air.

The man, who has only been identified by his initials, DW, wore a full-face veil known as a niqab to board.

He was also carrying his wife's passport and her negative Covid test result.

He may never have been caught if he had not changed into his regular clothes midway through the flight, causing a stewardess to raise the alarm.

Most airlines have restricted travel during the Eidh al-Adha holiday which began on 19 July.

Police told reporters that the man was detained after the plane landed and was tested immediately.


Upon discovering he was positive for the virus, he was ordered to self-isolate at home.

Police say they will move to prosecute him as soon as his quarantine ends.

The incident comes amid strict restrictions on travel in Indonesia, which has rapidly become the epicentre of the virus in Asia.
