Coronavirus outbreak

The posh knobs in Harrogate must have gone ape. First they had all them cyclists and all the common people daring to use The Stray , a public space. Now to provide support for the NHS the RAF have gone and parked a Chinook all over it.
The head of blue rinse brigade must will have totally blown her top.

If you still think this whole thing is joke well you may have a chance to prove it.
Los Vegas Mayor offers the city to be a control group.

How did Eddie Izzard end up in Las Vegas ?

This "clapping the NHS" (but LOOK AT ME) has to be toned down in my view, footage on Look East tonight showed a convoy of police going with blues and twos along the front of the Luton and Dunstable hospital while crowds whooped and cheered. farks sake. Why are the police the cheerleaders for the NHS all of a sudden, as seen on Westminster Bridge a few days back, rather than doing their job of getting people to stay home? Why are firefighters doing TV photocalls with all the kit on and the lights flashing outside some A+E every Thursday instead of just staying at their own door and clapping? Why have RAF Scampton lined up all the red arrows jets and got all the pilots precisely 2.0 metres apart in formation to clap, instead of STAYING HOME and clapping from there?

Dibble, Trumpton, Red Arrows: This isn't about you. Let people clap from their front door if they want. We don't need your fire engines parked at the hospital with your sirens going, we don't need your photo calls. Take a back seat and make it less about you, yes?

I know all the ladies that lunch will have to slum it with some mother pride and potted dog on some park bench with the other middle class winos

There's nothing wrong with Eccles cakes that couldn't be fixed by making them oval, more lemony and with a dash of rum

How did the more boring cake get to be the famous one?

I’m happy that CCers had the same thoughts as me regarding that woman in the YT video I posted , but believe it or not some on the local website where I initially saw it were defending her and others condemning the Cops ! It was said she is from Hounslow area about 6 miles away from Richmond Bridge , so must have travelled on public transport as she was boozing , hopefully she will get the book thrown at her for not accepting the FPN but I’m not sure how the law works . any a proper ar**e .

I understand people sometimes drive despite boozing

Or it's not unknown for people in drink to walk for hours.

She may have walked in earlier but as for a woman walking home alone after dark , I wouldn’t have thought so ,

2am squad checking in to let you know that the POTUS has advocated injecting oneself with disinfectant as a coronavirus cure.
He's basically doing Jonestown or Waco but on a population of 330 million.

Has there ever been a bigger waste of skin and oxygen than he?

I don’t like needles. Should I gargle with it instead?

That is quite the spectrum of emotions playing across her face.
The only moral thing to do, right there, right then, was to stand up and say loud enough that the mics and press could hear "Mr President, no, that is dangerous madness, you need to be more careful" or something equally strong.

She'll doubtless come out and condemn it after she gets kicked to the curb the way all his past acolytes have.
The damage is done. America is a failed state.

Lockdown is obviously over in Peterborough

Cycling home from one side of the city to the other from work I've noticed a big difference this week.
Yes it's been sunny but it seems people have decided to ignore the rules.
Considerable increase in people about, sunbathing, small groups, cars being driven to areas to walk dogs...

Couple of weeks ago police were out in force preventing this.

Orton mere was a joke ,there was about 12 people on the River bridge, Nene valley railway crossing was busy, 2gates..I think Mr Policeman needs to come back.

Just seen local paper headlines for Sleaford, Couplands (bakers) reopening as things return to normal. Seaford has been often in the news as people there are ignoring lockdown.

It's becoming clear that we are in danger totally blowing it and forcing the issue.
Companies and the rest jumping the gun and closing things down before official notice. Is one thing but the small trend of companies now slowly reopening and finding ways to be classed as essential. Is quite another jumping the gun now is a total gamble it's just going to begin normalising stuff. We are not out the woods yet CMO has made that clear the press need to stop with we've peaked and open things up now crap. It's very possible that a 2rd wave will be even worse. The virus has not gone away and won't be for some time to come all we have done is slow it down. If the current trends pick up any real momentum than more restrictions will be needed not less.
