No one is wearing one. Do people have a death wish?
What is this panic to go out an mingle?
Talking about "only" 90 people died in the last 24hrs - oh well that's ok - unless you're one of those 90 people or their family.
This lazy attitude leaves me stunned
That always amazes me too Sainty

That would be fine Kaytee if it was just their own lives they were risking But I’m willing to bet they have parents and grandparents who they could end up infecting . Point in case , I read that infection numbers are rising again in many states in the US , after a holiday weekend .

Well that doesn't seem to enter their heads...
News of a new outbreak in Beijing (is that correct?) is terrifying
Totally locked down - again
@Former Member. Have a virtual hug 
and let's scream together. We're virtually negating the (supposed) reason we went into lockdown in the first place! It's beginning to look like it was just a gimmick!!!!!!!
Jings!!!!
Other people break the rules. Hancock. however, just 'slips-up'. 
Shockingly TESCO are now offering delivery slots for FREE and others for 50p

I saw Hancock on PMQ's this week. He was saying how Britain has a world class this... We are world leaders in ... We have the best people working on ...
What I would like to know is how Hancock could possible qualify any of thoses statements. For example, how does he know we have the best of... if other countries are very 'closed shop' and don't let information out.
I would have to say, that I would stake my mortgage on it that Hancock was just spouting uneducated, unquantifyable sh*t.

Cheapest I can get is £2.50...….if I want to sit up to 11 pm. THEN have the pleasure of putting it all away between then and midnight.

Yes, it's transitioned from 'scary' to 'shockingly frightening'!

Do you not just order a box of eggs and 'then' check out to secure that slot?
Than go back later to update before delivery

Yes, but all the slots have different prices. Cheapest slots are generally unsociable times. Day-time slots tend to be £4.50 to £6.50
Why do you have to put it all away between 11pm and midnight?

Fridge and freezer stuff. Can't leave it lying overnight. So I select an earlier delivery. which means a more leisurely sorting out, but means a higher charge!
Oh i see
I was meaning a delivery way off in the future LOL
I don’t know if it is just me but there seems to be an attitude of “we are okay now, let’s get back to normal “. My elderly parents are still shielding, family are only essential shopping and no one is going out socialising, while everyone else is behaving like the threat doesn’t exist

I’m with you Machel .....people are being far to cavalier imo ....and no doubt they will be moaning when the second wave appears ....but they won’t see their own behaviour as a contributing factor ! Me , I’m staying in lockdown !

Not just you Machel, it feels like that's the general attitude these days, to me too. I think this has been generated (mostly) by the rapid (too rapid in my estimation) easing of restrictions. There are people still dyimg out there!!!!
Meant to mention this earlier, but I received an email on Friday from Cineworld informing me that they intend to reopen on July 10th.
They are planning a number of measures: one of the biggies is "social distancing" (which includes a new seating plan), but they'll also have PPE (gloves, masks) for staff and more novel ideas such as staggered screening times to prevent build-ups of customers. However it does not look like they will be insisting on face masks/coverings for customers...

I have had the same email Eugene. To be honest, I will give it a couple of months before I venture out, although Daniel Craig's last outing as Bond is a must for me. But that is likely to be a November release now.

Awww

Germany's R rating has gone nuts - Beijing is quarantined
We need a vaccine
Why is the head of the ONS on the SAGE committee?
What's his scientific or medical expertise? Makes you wonder..
It was a slow slog 'up the hill', having apparently reached the 'PEAK', we are now careering down the other side....without brakes!
