Just been for a journey on the new 2A that was originally intended to be introduced back in April! I intended to get out on the Southmead Road/Pen Park Road junction bus stop, to get a bit of shopping in LIDL. However when running along Southmead Road, the driver then turned left into...
I certainly wouldn't want to goto the cinema now and having to wear a clothy face mask for 2 hours/2 and a half hours or however long. A lot of people will feel the same too. And this law will probably mean cinemas can't sell snacks and drinks now. What with this new rule AND this seemingly...
Oh god. I see Chris Whitty is appearing with Boris at the press conference. Expect the usual we must keep up social distancing for a long time yet nonsense yet again.
Well, whilst it's disappointing and worrying that the number of new cases is creeping upwards again, the number of deaths is STILL continuing to fall. Only 38 people in all settings died from Coronavirus yesterday. That's the lowest WEEKDAY total now since 20th March! And this is over 95%...
Hmmm... I was looking at doing either a London-Birmingham or Birmingham-London journey with Chiltern soon, especially to get a good lengthy journey on a Class 68 again, which I haven't done for a while now. I note that Chiltern unlike some other operators, are at least offering some cheap...
"Social distancing" and "Socially distanced" are surely up there as the two most mentioned phrases on the news. Am absolutely bloody fed up of hearing these phrases. They mention things with a "Socially distanced" prefix now as though it's trendy and fashionable, for instance "And how about...
Yes. I did see Boris mentioning that on the bit of news I watched earlier. At the mo though, the deaths are continuing to fall on a weekly basis, so am feeling positive about that. But if the deaths do start creeping back up again, then I will start getting worried.
Was watching ITV News Westcountry just now. Then intended to continue onto watching a bit of the ITV Evening News. But as soon as the latter came on..... BONG "Braced for a second wave of Coronavirus.....". For crying out loud!!! And then just immediately turned it off. Can't be doing with...
I've just realised that there's a petition to the government to remove social distancing. Though sadly not that many people have signed it so far. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/320079
Yes I saw that. And that's contradictory to what he said about 2 weeks ago, when he said "We may MAY be able to scrap social distancing altogether from November at the earliest.". I was feeling a little more optimistic when I heard that, and hoping Boris wouldn't let us down on that. But now...
Social distancing restrictions in place for another year or two?? You must be joking!
The country is in a mess now because of this, but if this continues for as long as another year or two then this country will be absolutely wrecked. Thousands upon thousands of job cuts, thousands upon...
I'm on a train down to Weymouth. Almost there now! And the train is fairly busy now. Lots of daytrippers onboard for a day at the seaside! Good on them! We can't all stay at home for months on end!
Indeed, it's not up to him to make the decisions on social distancing. And he's also not taking into account much the ongoing damage to the economy and people's livelihoods and mental health, this current ongoing social distancing is causing. We've been socially distancing for almost 4 months...
I noticed Chris Whitty is STILL saying social distancing must stay for a long time. That's not a surprise! If he has his way, we'll be "socially distancing" forever! Sorry Chris, but we can't as it's continuing to wreck the UK economy and ruining life! By November, when hopefully social...
This is exactly what he said about this, word for word.....
Now this does make me feel a little more confident now that the end of social distancing could be on the horizon now, providing the number of new cases and deaths on a 7-day rolling average continue to fall. At the rate things are...
No mention atall about any possible upcoming changes to social distancing in Boris's speech just now!
But it's worth remembering on the COVID-19 Alert Level 2 chart, that when we do go down to Level 2 it states the actions are "Minimal or no social distancing.". So let's hope we can get down...
Yes I know the press don't always get things right. But as well as the Mirror, some of the other press are also reporting about the 9 month plan to get people back to work, and that social distancing will still remain for some time yet. It's not looking too good. Will be absolutely ridiculous...
According to the Express, this press conference is now at 11am. Not long to wait.
