    I think you have missed my point. My Sister in law didn't think she had Covid late March and it was only when she was tested a week or so ago that she found out she had had it.
    FrankCastle was saying he didn't have it and I was pointing out that he could have it and not know. Potentially making his journeys all the more dangerous for others. Of course that goes for anyone but I don't feel to fussed about not being able to go to someone else's house for probably at least 2 weeks.
    My son was supposed to do his GCSE last term and couldn't so it has had a huge impact on him. I too fear for their futures. Luckily my daughter at Uni is doing a course where its constant evaluation, so she has been able to study from home without too much problem.

    The problem isn't that people are Asian.

    So now, figure out the problem.

    You a
    On the flip side, why should I sacrifice my life by hiding indoors all the time at 25, just because I have asthma and so your kids can play out? Its really easy to say the vulnerable should just stay inside when you arent one of the people being told they should just stay inside. Before I came down south I didnt leave my house at all for about 4 months and it sucked. how would you like to have to stay indoors forever and be forced to watch everyone else going about their lives. feck that

    The fact is we're an island which means if our govt had half a fecking brain cell to rub together we could eliminate the virus on the island with the proper measures. but obviously that will never happen and boris will keep gaslighting us all into thinking he's done a good job

    Strange respose. I didn't say it was because they were Asian.

    I don't know the problem but as I've said before it's probably a complex combination of cultural, behavioural and socio-economic factors.

    The correlation (but not necessarily the causation) is pretty clear though I would think.

    Look at the numbers. Look at the hospital admissions. Look at the number of COVID patients in ICU. It's a massive overreaction from a Government who don't have a clue what they're doing. They're fearful that Eid will bring a second wave and so have decided to do this.

    I don't celebrate Eid and therefor will continue to visit the 3 households I've been visiting over the last few weeks.

    Correct. They're also more likely to be seriously affected due to immune deficiencies and disabilities because of a diluted gene pool.

    Are you seriously suggesting Corbyn was simply smeared? The majority was there to see in black and white. Corbyn brought it on himself and his shady past caught up with him.

    Lets be honest they made a mess of what they were suggesting with regards Brexit, saying they would negotiate a deal with the EU and then vote against it, there were 17,000,000+ who were going to vote for which ever party said they would honor the referendum, Corbyn could not even come down on one side or the other with respect of Brexit saying he was neutral, yet during his time on the back benches he was a constant anti EU MP.

    It's like saying what would Klopp do if he was Bradford City manager. He isn't!!

    Can only judge the person in position and he will get judged by his results.

    I'm going a little further this weekend. To the coast for the first time since lockdown and can't wait.

    Corbyn lost against the horrific Teresa May. He was humiliated by Boris Johnson at the GE. He lead their worst ever results in Council and European Elections. Hel lost the red wall and Labour heartlands decimated. His flip flopping on Brexit was painful.

    Useless, out of touch and an old anti-semite to boot.He was simply unelectable.

    Do you live in a locked down area if so you won't be travelling to a place that isn't. This is how daft it is I can work and mix with people from Leeds but once work is finished I'd have to go straight home and not call for anything to eat or drink.

    Outdoor gathering of no more than 6, your own home and your bubble home can go outdoors but need to stay away from others not of your bubble. I think that's correct.

    I think that is within the boundary and you cant travel to different places for recreational or hospitality. I may be wrong but it just puts it into perspective when little Jimmy krankie said don't be thinking of coming to Scotland
