Baron99   771 #2413 Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) And we wonder why, (& moan), we're heading for another national lockdown?  Just hearing on Radio Sheffield that S Y Police have issued 9 x £10,000 fines over the past few days in Sheffield due to mass gatherings of Covidiots.   Apparently in one incident, captured on a police officer's body-cam, one woman questioned, wearing Halloween fancy dress is not only at one of these parties but she also admits to an officer, that she should actually be at home, self-isolating!  Well I'd hit her for a personal fine.  People's stupidity, arrogance & lack of concern for others at the present time, never ceases to amaze me. Edited November 3, 2020 by Baron99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Hardly seems fair. There is more chance of you catching the virus walking around supermarkets and using public transport in some parts of the country than sat in a cafe having a cup of coffee in the day time, I’m not talking about the Bars.  A lot of effort and money has gone into making them safe.  Screens round the tables and waitresses service.  I also feel it hardly seems fair.    Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

El Cid   194 #2416 Posted November 3, 2020 There is talk of testing everyone in Liverpool.  How accurate are the COVID tests?  I have read about errors with the tests, false positives and false negatives.  Just immaginge that the tests are top notch and are 90% accurate. A school or workplace has to be tested, out of 10 people tested, 1 person can be shown to have tested positive, but its an error. That would then close down whole or part of that workplace/school.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

They were both in their 30s and should know better. How would they feel if their parents caught Covid 19 off them and died. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
tinfoilhat   11 #2419 Posted November 3, 2020 On another, more local note, what's protocol for mask wearing when dealing with delivery drivers? Tesco man had one on even though he didn't enter the house and I didn't. Should I have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

He was protecting himself and you so, your choice really, I would have wore one to be honest, but no big deal as one was wearing one. Imo.

He just stacks up the trays and I take them in. I pass back empties so we are two arm lengths and a tray between us? Close to 2m id guess and he's outside.  But I'll wear one in future, didn't not wear one because I'm an arse. One chap stacks them all up, knocks on the door and legs it to the top of the drive and waits till I'm finished. Don't blame him!
