Mister M Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 1 hour ago, enntee said: My app is wrong as well. Telling me "medium" when we are in "high". My app keeps telling me that I've been in contact with someone who has COVID-19, even on days when I've not left my home. Still, it fills my heart with joy that executives from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) helping the government set up and run its testing system are being paid day rates of around £7,000 - equivalent to an annual salary of around £1.5m. Still I expect to be accused of peddling the 'politics of envy'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And let's not forget staff directly employed (or contracted ) by the universties - lecturers, technicians, admin staff, catering staff, porters, cleaners etc etc Back on topic - hospitalisations increasing rapidly.

I suppose this is why they are known as the snowflake generation! Not true if used correctly. You should never touch the mask. Only touch the attachments used to secure it. Bit of reality, my youngest son who lives in Nottingham (potential tier 3) came to Sheffield (potential tier 3) came to visit today. He met his brother outside for half an hour and then came to see me in my garden. It felt really odd because I don’t know when I’ll see him or the two of them together again. I’m in a support bubble with my eldest son so can have indoor meetings but, as he only has weekend contact with my only grandchild, I can only see her outside-time limited at this time of year. Contact has been problematic with Family Court exacting an order several years ago. Covid 19 is being used as an excuse to terminate contact despite regulations but access to legal support and Family Courts are also affected by Covid. I feel my small but very close family is being torn apart by the pandemic Edited October 17, 2020 by catmiss Addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron99 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Jeremy Corbyn breaks the COVID-19 rules AGAIN! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8849075/Now-Jeremy-Corbyn-breaks-rules-memorial.html Just days after apologising for attending a dinner party that broke the 'Rule of six' indoors, Corbyn attended a ceremony that broke the rule of not being part of a gathering of more than 30 outside. When are we going to see fines issued to high profile individuals that would help send out a message? Edited October 17, 2020 by Baron99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a funeral that is limited to a maximum of 30 people. This looks like a celebration afterwards, which would result in a large fine for the organisers, not those attending.

How can anarchists be organisers 😎 That the number attending bust 30 was likely totally accidental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
