:covid_19: đŸ˜· đŸ„ Corona Virus the thread for all your fears ❓

Only posting this as back in the day I used to live down the road in Wandsworth Common and know this place.

Have heard/read stories elsewhere that the Rossers were heavy handed
breaking up something that wasn’t organised within current lockdown regulations. It’s so unfair :roll_eyes:

The Polish Church service break up is big news here.

Basically last week, the Government (who bend over for the Catholic Church) called them in & read the riot act. Most churches ignoring social distancing no masks and being packed.
Huge numbers of infected Clergy spreading the virus.
And then this in UK.
Public reaction here is very much “fvcking idiots” and hope they got arrested.
Sod all to do with the right to pray all about stop being arrogant gits.
Message hit home, most sources praise the UK Cops & call for the same here.
Village church today - back streaming Mass on Facebook and worshippers not allowed inside, looks like a Zombie movie hundreds all spaced 2m apart all around the church listening on speakers.
Basically Clergy got lazy putting out speakers & setting up the WiFi.

If ever an outsider wanted to learn how utterly screwed up the UK MSM is then the fact that the Daily Fail & Twitter are up in arms about the Police being called to POLISH Church service.
After all the pro-Brexit anti-everyone propaganda given out by the same publication.

I heard this on the news and a “spokesperson” saying how heavy handed the police were, it’s so unfair etc etc etc.

We’re in a pandemic ffs.

Must rush, need to prepare for a “garden” party for +30 close relatives in our support bubble :roll_eyes::wink:

Also being reported by UK Border Force that up to 99% of people entering the UK are not following government rules by not checking into designated quarantine hotels.
What could possibly go wrong?

Unlike Singapore where on arrival everybody is guided through immigration and the covid test at the airport and then put on a bus to a quarantine hotel (not of your choice) check in at the hotel. Everybody has to wear a mask. The hotel room coridors each door has a chair outside to drop of your 3 meals a day or anything you have ordered. I even have to take my temp twice a day and send it to the company who sponsered me.
Another 11 days to go.

A couple of friends have returned to Thailand and done the quarantine. Its quite a performance booking it all, and expensive. Quarantine hotel has be booked and paid for before booking any flight, countless amounts of paperwork to see whether or not you qualify for a visa, tests, fit to fly certificates etc. Met at the airport by gowned up and masked immigration officials, herded on to a coach to hotel, not allowed out of your room for 7 days, regular testing etc. Whereas here, 99% of visitors ignore the rules, with no apparent sanctions. In that report a guy from Peru was given a visa because the extenuating circumstances for his visit are that he wanted to see Big Ben! Absolutely no lessons have been learned from the past year, and the dreadful death toll.

I also had to book the hotel and covid tests prior to leaving KL. The flight was one of the emptiest 737’s I have flown on everybody basically had 3 or 4 seats to themselves.

A cynic would say the British system was designed & implemented by Accountants to minimise cost & maximise profits.
The “authoritarian Government” systems were designed by epidemiology experts to maximise efficiency and minimise risk to the Citizens.

but but but according to the gov.uk site this happens :-

Arriving and transport to a managed quarantine hotel

When you arrive in England you will need to provide your completed passenger locator form to Border Force officers alongside your passport and negative COVID-19 test result.

You will be escorted through the airport with other passengers who need to quarantine at a managed quarantine hotel. Your ‘quarantine package’ includes transport to your quarantine hotel (and back to the airport at the end of your quarantine to reconnect to your travel plans). Please follow signs and instructions for the Managed Quarantine Service.

If you have a car parked at the airport, you will need to extend your parking period and pay the additional charges. If you need assistance with this, you can ask for that once you get to your hotel.

Everyone will need to wear face coverings at all times (unless you’re exempt).

A member of staff will make a note of where everyone is sitting on the bus, so that if someone later tests positive for coronavirus NHS Test and Trace will be able to identify who has been in close contact.

You must only travel to your managed quarantine hotel by the transport specified in your quarantine package and not by public or private transport.

You have a touching faith in your fellow humans, CB. :+1::+1:

The saddest thing is that he’s in danger of trashing his legacy. If he’s not careful, instead of being remembered for the truly great footballer he was, he will be remembered as “that nutter who lost the plot during the covid pandemic”.

You clearly don’t follow @@RAF LUTON on Twitter or you’d know they are


Ah yes, asymptomatic clearly doesn’t exist
