Covid

How though? I’ve been to a couple of pubs and they’re literally exactly the same as before covid, bar maybe the door being propped open. Social distancing means nothing in those sorts of situations. People need to be responsible but really if businesses are forced to reopen then people are going to use them.

Heh, they will find a way to make serious bank on that.

That’s not been my experience, it’s all table service mostly isn’t it?

I’ve had table service in I think three of the pubs I’ve been in. And even with that, all the tables are just as cramped as usual, you’re no further apart from anyone than usual besides crowding up around the bar

I’m sure that they’ll make out fine with covid too, probably been busy short selling Pret or whatever.

Went to the pub last week, and everybody was doing everything right when they arrived, but by the end of the night its all, “Ah, fuck it! Gimme a hug!” like it doesn’t count because they spent the first couple of hours behaving.

The new rules don’t kick in till Monday right? People are going to go mental in the pubs in towns and cities this weekend then. Just to help boost up those covid numbers a bit more.

I wonder if this new law will mean skateparks will close again. Maybe groups in skateparks will be classified as exercise rather than socialising. We just won’t be allowed to sit down, gotta keep riding at all times

It’s only organised team sports that are going to have to stop.

So I suppose it depends what kind of skateboarding you’re into.

Oh, well that doesn’t make sense.

Still, good news for the Olympians out there.

Seems pretty clear where the issue is!

Bloody millenials!

The exact reason I’ve not gone back to football. Most players are aged 18 to 25 and are made up of predominantly bellends

Recent reports suggest that that particular group is particularly at risk, as I understand it. Sitting about in big groups talking shite to each other, maskless, with ‘Dolphins Were Monkeys’ playing in the background opens you up to the virus.

It’s basically for the new football season that’s about to start…

Not to forget all those highly suspicious multimillion pound contracts to tiny companies to supply PPE to the NHS, despite tiny bank balances, small numbers of employees, zero experience in logistics and supply…

shanked my birthday plans for next friday this has ffs

just love that the only real thought for the govt wanting people to go back into offices is to appease the billionaire landlords who own the majority of the uk and want their rent paying and not for any logical reason that may in any way benefit the general public
