At the risk of BF being a cunt again; More ‘FAO Parents - important’ style news:

I find it quite heartening the lots of local councils are saying they are going to defy the governments’ orders to reopen schools on June 1st while things are unsafe.

FabiParas Less than 4k deaths here and everyone has kept to the rules from day 1. Supermarkets always fully stocked, no hoarding of toilet roll etc. Everyone wearing masks. Nobody down at the seaside walking or abusing the rules during strict lockdown times. Feels very organised and people have been taking it seriously from the get-go. The lockdown measures they’ve brought in (full lockdown every weekend) have gone off without a hitch barring the first time they announced it with 2 hours notice, but now it works smoothly and seems to have slowed the infection rates considerably. Turkey came to the party late and it seemed to give them the benefit of taking the best measures from other countries and implementing them fast. The large spike in cases came from 20k travellers to the Umre in Saudi being let back in without being tested. This was right about the time anybody returning from Europe were being put into 2 weeks quarantine. But of course, Erdoğan’s Muslim disciples get special treatment.

    Ffs let him get his footing before we start the jibes again.

    I’m looking forward to the second assault of my nasopharyngeal tomorrow morning. Nothing like getting a 4 inch swab rammed in your nose until it hits the back of your skull at 8 in the morning. If I have to get a third,, might just ask they pull the 6 footer out and go straight up my ass.

    Negative first go. Given it feels like a hippopotamus has taken refuge on my chest for the past few we’ll see how this goes.

      The R rate back up and we’ve not even hit the results of the conga line spastics due in a few weeks. ffs.

        Wally Christ, everyone is obsessed with R0 when no one has a hope in hell of accurately estimating it… yet journos are reporting small changes in it all the time.. the German number moves quickly and spuriously between 0.65 and 1.1 and back again…. load of bollocks frankly.. although it wouldn’t surprise me if the fuckwits that run the country took it seriously

          Charlie Brooker antiviral wipe is a must. Superb. Then again should this be in the TV thread?

          Tested positive.

          Fuck me. Lovely to know I have some alien killer thing living in me and off of me right this very second. 14 days of fuck all for me now. Should probably order a volleyball to be friends with.

            jonattonyeah Tested positive.

            Hope you react to it mildly mate! Now’s the time to start that TV show you’ve been putting off.

              jonattonyeah Jeez. Make sure you post regularly, any significant lapse and we can only assume it’s curtains.

              Good luck pal.
