I fully understand .... they are something else .... I asked a customer to put a mask back on as she was shouting in my direction .... she looked at me in amazement  ... they get stranger by the day 24 years in retail I thought id seen it all .... but no I haven't !! all this respect for shop workers that was supposed to happen its clearly gone out the window ... 

It got worse. The guy who just stood in the middle of the group of strangers. About an hour after checking in he came to give me the keys back but wouldn't tell me why they were leaving. An hour after that we got a phone call from his very angry son in law, who'd booked the room for him. He'd called the SIL to tell him they'd had to leave because the room and bathroom were covered in vomit and shit and they felt threatened and in fear for their lives. The room is fine obviously, but they were very annoying so I can imagine someone wanting to kill them

Fucking Sundays. I don't know what it is but it's always fucking Sundays

The PM will give an address to the Nation on Tuesday apparently.

Oh really? Does seem like something is happening then. 

I'm torn. I'd rather lock down earlier and shorter if it will have more of an impact and stop us being in another really long one that really hurts the economy. I don't care about Christmas, but I know a lot of people really do. Also I don't underestimate how much the nice weather really helped in late March, April, May and June... winter could feel really long without even being able to see loved ones.

I’ve seen that the next action that might be taken is London specific but that doesn’t make sense with an address from the PM. 

Yeah they haven't had Boris do any local ones. Imagine it would be Hancock or maybe Sadiq.

Yeah it looks like it could be Tuesday. Boris doesn’t work Mondays 😉

I know what you mean about the winter months, it could be tough on many. I hope they keep the support bubble as at least I can go and see some family in that case.

I dont think they'll scrap the rule of 6 this soon, we have no idea if there will be any effect of it so surely it's worth it just to see

Whitty and valance to give an update tomorrow followed by Boris address on Tuesday.

Is this confirmed? Odd to separate them... is it so Boris can be the good cop again?

What measures are UK ministers considering to curb second wave of Covid-19?

This isn't news, but it is reassuring, from a mental health point of view:

No chance of that with Spaffer at the helm!

One more chance to follow the rules according to the Torygraph

It's more likely coincidence, or confirmation bias or something, but during the previous rise of the pandemic I definitely started hearing sirens on the roads around my house with much greater frequency than normal. At it's worst it felt like every hour there'd be an emergency vehicle speeding by in the vicinity.

The last few days, I've noticed a distinct increase in the siren noise again. Not close to the same levels as before, but definitely... more.

[steviewevie]

So, Whitty and Valance will be presenting the data tomorrow to warn the public that unless they change their behaviour more restrictions and maybe a national lockdown will be necessary.

And the public won't be watching because they will be at work/college/school.

How is the public’s fault, we’ve essentially done what they asked, eating out, going to pubs and kids back to school. What have they done to get ready for the 2 wave? Doesn’t seem like much.

Rule of 5 according to Hancock on Marr today.

So they’re basically going to hope something magic happens for a week, waste more time, then blame the public when they act too late and end up managing to once again have the worst of both worlds- big economic impact and big casualties.

thanks  .... so we have to go one better and go for rule of 6 ....

Still, at least the weather is going to get a bit shit.

All gone tits up in the last 2 weeks. Can't see it slowing anytime soon

[Chapple12345]

At least there is action bring taken to stop it as opposed to france and spain where they just seem to be letting it loose, the government know by now how much scrutiny they've been and will be under during the winter and will avoid any colossal second spikes, I may not be a fan if theirs but I at least appreciate them making an effort to plan some measures that aren't as draconian as before 

[steviewevie]

Interesting that Whitty and Valance are doing their thing in Monday, and Johnson on Tuesday....separating the politics from the science.

Here's to hoping they let rip and do a proper tell all about everything happening in government right now
