Covid

Has anyone else walked through a town centre recently?

There is no fucking lockdown, almost every shop is open.

Glasgow’s busiest shopping street, Saturday afternoon, four weeks before Christmas:

Went for a walk along the seafront here.
Ramalammed.
Like a decent day in summer packed.
All outdoors so I guess that’s okay but loads of runners zig zagging between everyone,heavy breathing.

One runner was a biebel lookalike: spherical head, heavily tanned, angular beard and the whitest/fakest teeth you ever did see. Beautiful.

And a mum, dad and toddler in a pushchair ALL wearing the same Yeezys.

Sounds well Covid. You’re gonna be alright. It can last a while but it’ll pass.
My legs were super achey for 2 weeks but I’m all good now. Take care of you and your fam.

Yeah same, feels like no lockdown here, everyone’s out and about, unsocial distanced dog walks and coffee walks. More cars flying about than I have seen all year. Seem to be lots of shops open than I thought were non essential too.

Same in watford , all the cafes , coffee shops , Greg’s , wilko, b&m , Poundland etc open and heaving when they were closed in the first weeks of lockdown.

I think half the nation has just given up and trying to carry on as normal and complaining about why we need a second lockdown… whilst being the reason for the second lockdown along with governments terrible handling of the pandemic.

It’s just supermarkets and any other shops selling food to takeaway right? I agree that it seems to be getting busier out there though. I’d be interested to see what they decide to do with pubs, I’ve seen a few preparing vastly improved outdoor areas.

lol

Is that Hitchin?

Yep.

Weird seeing that street sober. That used to be my drinking street. Only reason I ever went there.

Woo, Hull’s not the worst any more.

first (I think) confirmed case in my school today, here we go

I don’t think there is any stopping it now, we have let it in at every opportunity, no measures will curb it unless everyone isolates.

So after the 2nd we’re moving into a ‘stricter’ tier system, where pubs are open later and 2,000 people can gather indoors? Can see this going well

I reckon they know everybody’s going to completely ignore the guidelines over Christmas so they might as well loosen things up now.

Oh joy, it’s a boy who was in my department on Friday and Monday. I was gone by the time he was there both days but he was around both the teachers, one of which doesn’t wear a mask.
