Super daft because if you get banned from your local Waitrose it would take a long way to find another one...

I'm entitled.. They can't ban me

Sounds like my kinda place. Not sure why there needs to be an age limit on the staff to be rude to though.. seems a bit daft that.

The Waitroses where I live are full of entitled older people who are rude to the teenage/early 20 staff.

Nipped up to Waitrose earlier and someone needs to tell all the wrinklies that they need to start wearing a mask. Only about 1 in 10 had one on ... and I'm talking old folks in the 'you're very old madam, your're at risk' group. Meandering around the shop without a care in the world.

Oh well, should reduce the Boris vote and reduce the pension liability .... win-win

thing is.. Old people have two options.. look forward to alzheimer's, parkinsons and god knows what or at best spending years on their own in care homes... or catching covid and go quick.. It's not really the massive risk to them.

On holiday in southwest Ireland. Every single person had a mask on in the supermarket and this is the electoral territory of the swivel-eyed Healy-Rae clan - ‘Only God controls the weather’, Danny Healy-Rae tells climate change debate

People in south west Ireland have the genetic IQ of a cabbage.

Spoons is open.

Some of you roasters need to talk to your family doctor about upping the anti depressants.

As for the first well from tomorrow we have to wear masks to go shopping so I assume that means there is still a threat.

It just means our useless government are bringing in measures now that they should have done in February.

And whilst I say that masks in February wouldn't be the way to go - due to shortages (that's the real reason we rallied not to, imo) - this comment totally nails it.

In Feb we needed to be preparing for lockdown -

getting PPE in (using all those local suppliers that were ignored, instead using "friends" via DHSC taking ownership of procurement and using SCCL Limited to buy cheap).

Getting the message right

listening to the WHO and the "experienced countries" and following their advice in full:
Test Test Test, Trace and Isolate, PPE, flatten the curve.

We did NONE of the above - we instead go into lockdown late and spend the entire lockdown chasing our tails on the above . Also trying to chummy up to the other disaster - USA , for trade deals, whilst disguising our failures, by fudging figures and redistributing wealth from the public purse to the tory donors , like Dyson & Mclaren over Penlon, PPE from SCCL's friends instead of local production etc etc.

In March to July 1st - we needed to be preparing to release lockdown, but couldn't because we were chasing our tails - test trace isolate, contact tracing and clear guidance and a roadmap to recovery (like scotland have done - Coronavirus (COVID-19): Scotland’s route map - gov.scot )

So yes, you are totally right. This government have very openly tried to protect the economy by not taking it seriously enough, then actually damaged the economy by not taking it seriously enough.

Lockdown has gone on, and will go on, to some extent far too long, because most people have ZERO confidence in our countries response.

*phew* end rant sorry. I feel better anyway

Well for the second read the article.

What is your dentist's current advice?

[WTFH]

Well for the second read the article.

That looks good

As for the first well from tomorrow we have to wear masks to go shopping so I assume that means there is still a threat.

There is still a threat. That does not mean we are at the peak, or in the middle. It just means our useless government are bringing in measures now that they should have done in February.

Like we are in the middle of a pandemic

The middle of the first round was in April. We are at the tail.

...the death rate is the lowest it has been for a good few years and I was wondering if anyone could maybe shed some light on why that could be.

Because we're not in the middle.

Please provide a source for your claims that:
1. The UK is currently at the peak in the middle of a pandemic
2. The death rate is the lowest it has been for several years.

[original PM]

Two visits to your dentist this week?
Is the average still 10 a week, or are you just trying to re-write the averages to make it seem like you’re fractionally closer to having a point?

Perhaps we need to consider the average number of deaths during the Spanish flu to this one, so that you and DC’s frontmen can say how much better we’re doing now. It’s like nothing has happened.

...or reality doesn’t apply in oPM world.

Yeah some server issues seemed to make it post twice.

Although not sure what point you are trying to make I just quoted some facts.
