Since masks were mandated, social distancing has broken down. You can't blame them for trying to get people to stay apart. If you say 2 metres, you may have a fighting chance of getting people to stay 1 metre apart.

It doesn't even trace the infections to supermarkets. The question asked by T&T is "where have you been in the week leading up to your positive test". Of course the place where most people have been is a supermarket. Doesn't mean that you caught it there. This is shoddy misreporting bordering on...

I'd be in favour of camouflaged cameras if there was a police officer waiting round the corner to pull over any vehicles and "educate" the driver. However what's the point of hiding the cameras if a fine is sent to the driver a week next Tuesday? How is that contributing to safety?

Doesn't really give the answer. It says I should isolate for 14 days, which would be the case if my wife was the first in the household to test positive. But I was the first, and as such have served my "time" already. The only thing I can see that should change is that my wife was due to come...

The scenario: I tested positive on 9th November. Symptoms started on 2nd. My wife tested positive on 16th November. Symptoms started on 12th. NHS Track and Trace told me that I had to isolate until 14th, which I did. I've now been told by track and trace that I have to isolate again until...

This was the major reason the SAGE eeyores told us not to get excited earlier in the week. So at the risk of sounding like a seven year old, yah boo sucks to you SAGE. It works even better in the elderly. So there.

Is this the first time a government official has taken a swipe (albeit a subtle one) at how the media are behaving? Note Donald Trump doesn't count. (From the BBC news live feed, can't quote the URL as it goes a bit odd. Can any mods help me?) My bold. If the news was reported accurately...

Never knew that. I presume that the once a day up train from Basingstoke arriving at Wimbledon about 7.30 was for the same reason. Suited me, direct trains in both directions at exactly the time I wanted to travel. I knew of a few people who used those trains so they could get to destinations on...

I've slightly lost track- how many units are now accepted for passenger traffic?

Prior to testing positive I had put it all down to workplace burnout. Add to my other symptoms blocked sinuses. That really put me off the trail. Everywhere I read it said that if you had a stuffed up nose it was likely to be a cold, and not Covid. 1605649658 I'd say I'm 90% recovered. The...

The symptoms were: Nausea Loss of appetite Shivering Unbelievable tiredness and lethargy Loss of smell (eventually) Acute shortness of breath (very scary) No interest or enthusiasm for doing anything. I never registered a fever, nor did I have a cough. However the symptoms could come and go...

Let me be clear. I've had Covid. I've been the sickest I have ever been. At one point I was checking all my affairs were in order. I'm now in the midst of post viral fatigue (I refuse to call it long covid). But still I find the scariest thing to be the hysteria the our collective governments...

It does really. The acceptance of the term curfew in a Western democratic country is seriously concerning. The fact that the population doesn't seem to be aghast at the concept is a worry.

Are any curfews actually curfews, or are they just enforced closures of businesses?

Interesting responses. Going back into the corners of my memory, at this time I was commuting out of Fleet, so I can only remember the approximate arrival times into Fleet: At around 16:00 there was an all stations to Weymouth 16:30 was all stations to Wareham. Later on they added Weybridge as...

Across the world, politicians have been testing Covid positive. Is Covid a disease that picks off the political classes? Of course not. What's happened is that a situation has arisen where everyone is at equal risk, but the ingrained policital mantra of "one rule for them" they are finding...

When I commuted to school on the SWML in the early 90s, I distinctly remember some down trains mid afternoon that really did stop at all shacks after Woking, including places like Swaythling, Millbrook and Holton Heath. They were extensions of the Basingstoke stoppers. I think one was final stop...

The headlines state that he has no symptoms. Well to be honest if he did have symptoms that would be newsworthy, given that those who are sick enough to go to hospital are generally the ones with the highest antibody response.

It's bring your parents to work day :D More seriously, MOM I think stands for Mobile Operations Manager. Am I correct?

We are only now seeing the case rate respond to the lockdown announcement. (that big one day spike was a response to "last meetings" the weekend of the announcement). Only this week will we get any indication of whether the lockdown lite is working. Honestly everyone in government (including...
