:covid_19: 😷 šŸ„ Corona Virus the thread for all your fears ā“

It’s like the clusterfvck at the Ports.
10,000 trucks a day, now 2 days backlog.
OK test everyone but PCR takes 2 days = 40,000 trucks backlog
These guys cant afford to go private nor can many smaller operators.

Exactly - how long does an international lorry driver spend in the UK?? A couple of days?

Even with the PCR they can come over contract it, driver to Dover, have the test and get a negative result and off to Europe they go with their payload

I would really recommend that everybody listens to this, and then downloads the app.
It takes about 20 seconds each day to log in and report on your situation - about 3 questions only unless you are feeling unwell.
I have been one of those providing data for months, and looking at grown up data with grown up analysis is very reassuring.

Done.

They’ve done a much better job with their data than the government has done with its data.

The fundamentally bollocks thing about the government’s position is that there is nowhere that is not risky. In reality, there are a fuckload of places that don’t have too much outside contact that could carry on 100% as normal supported by the proper measures.

The data from this app bears that out.

New strain was on the train long before Christmas was down the drain.

Hardly surprising as it was first identified in September. So other countries immediately isolate us 3 months later. :rofl:

I’d be interested to know what infections are like outside the South East. It’s a pretty dense place and the public transport is one hell of an incubator.

I had a covid alert message from Liverpool NHS yesterday telling me to shield where possible as covid cases have increased by 64% since Dec 2nd.

Fam C_S all at various levels of feeling increasingly shite (I’m ok - but hopefully booze related though tbf).

Mrs C_S and YoungAdult#1 have covid tests tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed it’s only a cold and doesn’t turn into a not Merry Covid Xmas.

Took my mother for her first jab at Crosfield Hall this afternoon. No drama, all very efficient.

…but they weren’t amused when I wheeled her to the medic and said ā€œcan’t we have Shipman?ā€

Miserable cunts :rage::grin:
