Non-Believer Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Wee Krankie extends Scotland's lockdown period until mid-February over fears of further virus spread. Including a "significant outbreak" on the Isle of Barra. Schools and nursery premises to remain closed until mid-February pending review on 2nd Feb.

Non-Believer Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Tragic new record UK daily figure of 1610 Covid-related deaths for 19/01. Infections falling at 33,335. Total UK deaths now 91,470. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Sir Patrick Vallance appears to be advocating a longer, harder lockdown during interview this morning, also appears to be quite critical of UK (and other Western) Govts inconsistent approaches to dealing with the virus. With UK toll approaching 100,000 he may have a point.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Believer Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Interesting UK Covid stats just been released tonight (Sky News). Only 17% of those developing symptoms present themselves for a test. Only 4 out of 10 confirmed cases complete their full isolation period. Economic pressures at least partly blamed for this.

manxst Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 17 minutes ago, Apple said: Reading Fridays papers - all report on £500 if positive test and therefore having to self isolate. Could cost the UK £2bn per month, apparently.😳 Plus they’re possibly only talking about paying the £500 to those that cannot work from home. (According to The Times).

Non-Believer Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) Met Police announce that they've broken up a wedding party in Stamford Hill, Greater London being held in defiance of restrictions in a school that had had the windows draped from the inside to try and disguise. As many as 400 guests reported as having been dispersed, some with fixed penalty notices issued. Organiser could face a £10k fine. Apparently members of the local Orthodox Jewish community, local Rabbi condemns. Previous Rabbi died of Covid in April 2020. All working well this.

monasqueen Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 That will have been a Covid Party, so that all of the participants will be able to claim their £500 in due course. If they're going to get £200,000, the £10,000 fine is peanuts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
