Potential spreaders being anyone sitting in their dressing gown and sipping honey tea?

If I see or hear anyone sweating or coughing in the pub tonight, I will leave the pub, wash my hands and go to another pub.

Heard our local is closing after the weekend,probably be a total shutdown by then.

total shutdown by next week certainly. Only way forward when you see the behaviour of irresponsible clowns.

Dont go to the pub please dont be so stupid.

Stanley Johnson and Leigh Francis aka  Keith Lemon " will be out

Potential spreaders mean every member of the human race. The worst offenders who repeatedly flout the rules are politicians and journalists who insist on giving statements and reports in close proximity to others. Watching Mrs Sturgeon making a statement as I write. They never seem to realise that they are breaking their own rules every day.

Bit harsh blaming journalists. We suffer enough for our art.

Pub here in Chester still has usual dinner time drinkers in,about 30, no coughers or sneezes, plenty of room to observe the 2 meter rule.

Apologies if that is what you do but there is absolutely no reason for them to gather at press conferences or in the paddock at race meetings. They can get the same information from watching TV. Sky even had a woman reporter standing outside a school gate yesterday. Insane. I'm sure they are sent there by a producer but in that case the producer should be sacked. How on earth can they expect the public to follow the guidance when they don't?

Is the "WESTMINSTER BISTRO A PUB"

Was only teasing Sageform. Anyway, most of the journalists I know should be in self-isolation even when there isn't a Covid-19 pandemic going on.

MPs at Westminster will be the very last people to obey the rules. They will have to be put in handcuffs and carried out of there.

Correct Johnny. Relieved to know that you are not one of those craning their necks to get a TV interview recorded.

And you're correct too sageform. My best mate is MP for a fabulous city down here in the south and apart from Fridays, when he has his surgeries, more or less spends every single minute in the House. Can't leave it alone.

why are pubs/resturants still open, close them down and compensate them at a later date, saw 12-13 people in my local last night some people just do not care

Anyone standing in a pub right now enjoying a pint with others, should really question what they are doing.

This one is a bit of a shocker - All diabetics?
Not in a pub but at a 'Dinner'


A New Jersey mother and her three adult children have died from coronavirus, and three more relatives are in hospital, after they had a family dinner together, according to US media.

Grace Fusco, 73, and three of her children died on Wednesday and Thursday. Three more of her children are now in hospital.

Nineteen family members are now self-isolating, according to family representative Paradiso Fodera, and have waited nearly a week to learn the results of their virus tests.

some people think it will never happen to them and couldnt care less about spreading it, just close pubs/resturants etc and be done with it

self isolating also means not inviting loads of your family around for dinner in case anyone is in doubt about it

Correct.

2 other siblings on life support.

Didn't help I suppose with Trumpy calling it a 'Hoax'.

im affraid some people wont listen to sense, when the head of the country says stay away from other people it doesnt mean its time for a family gathering

You seem to think it would be best for the whole country to self-isolate then, LS? How long for? A week, a fortnight, a month or even twelve weeks?

Everybody’s circumstances are different regarding their health. If you feel as though it would be beneficial to you not to catch it, then self-isolating would be a good idea.

I’m taking my parents out for a pub lunch on Sunday. If I had any concerns about it, then I’d cancel. They aren’t worried about it, neither am I. If their health was bad then I’d reconsider.

I think you're wrong Kenbo but you're an adult.

Your stance just serves as a reason why pubs and the like should be closed.

Are you self-isolating then?

Can see some city centres being pretty busy tonight with the young ones worried it will be last chance saloon,media no doubt will be all over it hence shutdown Monday.

kenbo
how do you know you and your parents are virus free if not just infect everyone around you perhaps
of course under the directives there should be no one else there so everyone reaps what they sow

no

wouldn't go near or give money to anyone still open and encouraging the spread

pardon my French but these bstrds are cashing in on a crisis

taking the profit from others who closed

as the hight st lights flicker and go out one by one , its the last of the lights who will be remembered as the worst of the worst , closed owners and redundant staff , elderly , and responsible people all over the UK will not forget if this nation takes too long to recover


shameless behaviour

and before anyone says but they need cash , well join a nation in the queue for recovery together

Like it or not rightly or wrongly there's an awful lot of people out there who aren't convinced this is all its cracked on to be,hence people still going out etc,so presumably pubs restaurants forced to close next week.

I would go to watch the welcome resumption in racing Glasgow, but so disgusted by the blatant fraud perpetrated in the 2.30  Dundalk, I've switched off RUK permanently, racing's crooked yes, we all know that but to be so nonchalantly blatant as that, enough!! I'm going to watch multiple Little House On The Prairie episodes instead!

ribero they cant to that I don't think

due to knockon effect on insurance industry , imagine future premiums after an entire industry claims , third biggest employer in uk

"im affraid some people wont listen to sense, when the head of the country says stay away from other people it doesnt mean its time for a family gathering"

And still there are vapid voxpops with total cretins worrying about what to do for Mothers Day! Un-f******-believable!

if yer off out to the pub yer need to give yer heads a wobble and stop thinking of your own self gratification and start to think of others.

towns and bouroughs should start a book on those still open on street

last to close the winner , or the most miserable money grabbing selfish profiteering  barsteward

Stay at home you stupid ****s

^ The voice of reason.

Fair point hello but I can see plenty of young ones out tonight and having a microphone stuck in front of them at 11 o'clock giving it large.

seemingly London hospital declared crisis in cases and cant cope

meanwhile down road a few lads enjoy a bit of craik in the boozer


watching for coughing with eagle eyes , unaware their carrying

Unfortunately we have bred a generation of mainly me/me/me/self/self/self

There comes certain times in life when it comes to think of others and the wider scheme of things.


IF IT ISNT NOW do you need a nuclear war to wake yerselves up.

Well said Kenbo ( 14-21 )  my line of thinking as well, nice couple of pints in the local making sure to distance myself

from anyone, nice trip to Tescos  after with 20 x plus people and bare shelves. !!

a few from all sections ribero , mainly young and without sense and fear tho

I think a measure is needed tbh ,far too a high percentage are inherently selfish


I get the younger ones , if I was 20 and near the vibes I would be looking to get nutted and laid not the older and responsible tho

need a measure for sure and now if owners cant do right thing

Glasgow their is a subtle difference the trip to Tescos is a necessity

For youngsters it's not a top Friday night unless they're taking a photo of their Peroni (other lagers available), Cocktail or a 'my girls/boys' selfie.

Close the gaffs before Sunday's mother's day ffs.

Kenbo ask yerself how would you feel if yer parents got Coronavirus  (god forbid) after yer visit to the pub.

If the Pubs still open its Fair Game for me, if its shut by some so called expert being contradicted daily by Another

  host of so called experts then YES grudgingly I will have to Repent. !!

It's the silent sweaters you need to look out for

Will Americans without health insurance get treatment for coronavirus?

Just finished work for the week and enjoying a couple . Quieter than a supermarket -you dont hear the panic merchants calling for them to shut do you?

wont dont yer understand about the difference between pleasure and NEED!!

Strange how Mayor Khan want's the London pubs shut to stop punters catching the virus , yet doesn't have a problem with  removing tube trains thus resulting in even more cramped conditions on the trains that are left  running yet doesn't have a problem or says anything about the  700 hundred worshipers cramming into a Mosque several times a day then returning to their daily lives

Fook me. A bunch of agoraphobics are making out they’re heroes for not leaving the house!!!

Today I’ve been to work. Barely had any contact with the vast majority of people there. I’ve been to the bookies and there was half a dozen in there. Popped into to the supermarket to try and get some food, there was more people than produce. My ‘selfish’ actions today have probably had no bearing on anybody. My ‘essential’ actions today could’ve infected hundreds of people, who could then infect thousands, then millions.

Geoff, thankfully we’d never know where my parents caught it, if they did indeed catch it. The odds would be pretty damned good that it wouldn’t kill them though. I know things will get worse, but 150 deaths in a population of 60 million is very small at this moment.

i always enjoy my weekend down the local for a drink with mates and a chinwag but unfortunately i cant.elderly parents so thats end off,but you have to question of how low some ppls iq is to totally ignore mr witty and valances advice just for the sake of a drink.be safe everyone

There are none so blind as those who will not see

A major London hospital has declared a “critical incident” due to a surge in patients with coronavirus, with one senior director in the capital calling the development “petrifying”.

In a message to staff, Northwick Park Hospital in Harrow said it has no critical care capacity left and has contacted neighbouring hospitals about transferring patients who need critical care to other sites.

The message, sent last night and seen by HSJ, said: “I am writing to let you know that we have this evening declared a ‘critical incident’ in relation to our critical care capacity at Northwick Park Hospital. This is due to an increasing number of patients with Covid-19.

“This means that we currently do not have enough space for patients requiring critical care.

...A senior director at another London acute trust told HSJ: “Given we’re in the low foothills of this virus, this is f***ing petrifying.


or bothered to see/care?

I understand you kenbo

thing is tho

folk see you doing it , then they feel safer doing it themselves

and on it goes

we all know its best thing to do to get our lives back quicker and cut deaths , there is no logical argument not to

and when we start saying only 150 deaths we are truly fcked as a nation tbh

G1 group hospitality in Glasgow just sacked 50 staff by email, Stefan King, granany Edinburgh , corinthian Glasgow , not good in these pubs today

and will get worse

unless we fight to beat this together by being sensible

quicker we do , quicker we win

Kenbo yes your visit to the supermarket may have been the most likely place than any to catch the coronavirus its your actions tommorow of potential visit bookies/pub sunday thats non essential where the stupidity lies.

Pubs, clubs & restaraunts to close by decree.

Save people from themselves and to protect their nearest and dearest.

reviewed MONTHLY !!!!!

Are yer getting it NOW!!

Sunak f$$ked up saying 'shops' are closing

Leif - BBC saying Northbrook has now cancelled its critical incident

"reviewed MONTHLY !!!!!"

well done boris tbf


a lot took of owners took a stand early

some sadly it was forced on them , how will they feel now as they grab the last of the pennies

They were asking for other hospitals for assistance Pies.

You couldn't blame them for panicking.

All the speculation has been how they might become overwhelmed.

Think that's a recognised protocol Leif as we unfortunately may become familiar with. Yes I can imagine the speculation, I've been surprised that we haven't heard more about how hospitals are coping even if it's just to say no problems so far.

Beer / Lager / Spirits will soon be sold out in the Supermarkets
We really are in the grip of an emergency
Fish shops will be selling smaller portions to sustain fish supplies .. ooh eck as like!

Well the misery guts have got their way. Pubs/microbreweries going out of business plus staff laid off. I hope you are proud  of your holier that thou stance.

In a rush to get the information quickly,,,

(to the 00000000.1% of people who don't own a tv)

you failed to recognise it was non essential shops

WAC UR

What is a non-essential shop YDC

please give an example of a non essential shop that is being forced to close

Manoleeds 20 Mar 20 17:58   



Well the misery guts have got their way. Pubs/microbreweries going out of business plus staff laid off. I hope you are proud  of your holier that thou stance.


and i hope you seen the news of London hospital declaring no capacity to admit critical care patients

salary cover and buisenes grants , loans already announced , they are getting help

non essential

likely tourist traps that sell cheap junk , sports shops , bookshops , stuff like that which encourages shoppers with discounts i imagine

Walked 3 hours yesterday/ Cycled 4 hours today Kenbo so no agrophobia here.

Didnt visit a pub/cafe or restaurant

some people would see bookshops as essential with all the libraries closing but of course if you cant read you would probably see them as unessential

BRAINDEAD LEAFY

Try betting shops for starters

... Well the misery guts have got their way. Pubs/microbreweries going out of business plus staff laid off. I hope you are proud  of your holier that thou stance.


  ... Correct, lets just hope the same folk have their alarm clocks set to wash their hands every 2 hours .. as advised

    on BBC this Morning. !!  WALOFS.  .. Just ignore the Millions employed in the Hospitality trade.

unprecedented package announced Glasgow , salaries covered , grants and loans

they prob never had it so good tbh now , weeks off work paid maybe who knows

all i do know is shutdown was needed , or wouldn't have happened tbh

... " except Takeaway food outlets " ..    Lots of thought gone into that one !!

They are talking about shutting take away too all gyms and clubs shut

All the best Reg.

Glasgow most takeaways are delivery which eases a lot for many who don't want to go out and about , even mcdonalds only takeaway

reg that's tough man , i imagine you were about to enjoy summer increases also

is yours a buisenes that could switch to some kind of home delivery , as shops are sparse , folk don't want to be there and soon its limited entry ?

same here  reg, self employed gardener and though i have little contact with customers have had a lot of cancellations last couple of weeks .

if theyve followed government advice probably be shut Reg.


and i feel for you re your employment . I got made redundant tuesday.

and yes it is selfish as you probably already know.

Been laid off myself. Went in yesterday and today to finish a plot off. No idea when I will work again just yet. There’s lots of provisions in place for the employed, but I didn’t see much that’d help the self employed.

They will defer tax payments for a year. That doesn’t help me though as 20% is stopped each week at source. I wonder if they’ll give me that back!? Will they fook!

have to apply for universal credit i have heard ,have to apply on line and they want to know the ins and outs of a magpies ar$hole on the form ,then you may be lucky and get about £80. can imagine the amount of claims they are gonna be having so good luck with that .

Walked down to local this afternoon,there must have been about 30+ regulars in,when Boris came on telly turned up and everyone watching,when they announced pubs etc closing from midnight the reaction was i'm guessing not far away from our parents/grandparents reaction when war was declared!

Sympathy with those in the hotel and restaurant business. I have 2 holiday cottages and all bookings cancelled until the end of April so far. Luckily it is a retirement business so not reliant on it. I could employ a builder/handyman for a month at least to catch up with maintenance. All of our local people that I have contacted are booked for 6 months minimum.

i know your off reg , may be worth taking a youngster on to do the legwork if trade justifies

i would imagine almost everyone even normally would like stuff delivered tho im not sure exactly what you specialize in , likely 5/10 deliveries compared to maybe one before but if theres an increase it could still pay mate , also time limit for orders to plan a cost effective route

you would have a nominal delivery charge and maybe spend requirement to justify drops that would cover part of any extra wage , also maybe slightly higher selling price as less bulk per drop

for sure tho the demand is there so all down to advertising but that's  easier now  with social media  , good luck anyway man

reg

good man , growing takeaway market aswell as home drops

let us know how you fare man

good luck aswell

I suppose you pub goers will have a mass gathering in a local square tonight to continue spreading the disease.
