Sue Denim Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Good article from the Guardian at the beginning of the year. A man dropping dead in the middle of the street of the virus in Wuhan. How many folk in the U.K. just dropped dead of the virus whilst walking along the street? This was the sort of fear the media were spreading at the start which eventually led to the lethal lockdown policy for what is actually just the flu https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/31/a-man-lies-dead-in-the-street-the-image-that-captures-the-wuhan-coronavirus-crisis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile in the real world the rest of us will continue about our normal business taking the self same life precautions we always do. The media / social media lead hysteria is off the scale. Imagine if a real plague emerged in the developed world, it would be armageddon stuff. Let's just concentrate on making it to Hampden.

Ayrshire Saints Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 A few were equally culpable SD. Words included overreaction etcLol I see from you quote I'm still right under his skin. As you say at that time very few thought it would explode worldwide as it did. The only difference between the extremist and the rest of us is that he thinks it still early March and it never actually did happen. I expect someone will quote his usual response that he also seems not to realise I cant see. He likes looking back clearly so he should check his facts properly about the Morrisons incident he likes to quote. As everyone can see for the umpteenth time he's a liar. My wife was present and as she was the emergency worker we were perfectly entitled to enter the shop as we did but hey that doesn't suit his twisted narrative so he makes up that I had somehow acquired my wife's ID and used that to con my way into a shop oh and to boot I also pointed out it was a nonsense.Total lies as normal. "Just back from Morrisons, bizarre experience. 7.40, huge queue at least 100 folk spaced accordingly round the store into the carpark. Walking by the two security guards controlling it asked what time they opened to be told it was 7 but emergency services only until 8. Great, wife gets her warrant card out and in we get no queuing. Once in there are THREE other folk in the whole store while we get what in effect was a private shopping experience. With the numbers outside that is a total nonsense. Yes have emergency services preference time but if no one is using it ffs let the public in. As usual no toilet roll, tins, pasta, cleaning stuff or rice but ok otherwise. Clearly the supermarkets are having supply chain issues on those items as too few folk to clear them out. Wee shops have plenty thankfully. Oh and no gloves for staff, no trolley disinfecting and staff everywhere in the isles meaning 6ft space is impossible. Either do this thing properly or dont bother !"

I hate to get between you and Sue but, as I recall, it WASN'T for emergency services, it was for NHS workers. See below from the Morrisons website.....................no mention of emergency services. Morrisons is to introduce an NHS hour at the beginning of every day (apart from Sunday) so that NHS workers can stock up on the products they need. Many NHS staff have said that they cannot buy the products they need at the beginning or the end of their shift as supermarkets have seen unprecedented demand. The new hour will be from 7am-8am and a Morrisons colleague will be on the door to let staff with an NHS badge in. Opening hours for other customers will move from 8am to 8pm from Monday to Saturday. Sundays will continue to have six hours of trading in line with Sunday trading rules. David Potts, Chief Executive of Morrisons, said: "Staff in the NHS are facing into an unprecedented challenge and we're doing our bit to help them buy their groceries. "We've seen some nurses and doctors struggling to find what they need and so we're responding with dedicated time for them to shop. The core purpose of our organisation, all 96,537 of us, is to play our full part in feeding the nation, it's more than our job.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted July 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Some good news, I know that's not what some people want to hear, the case and deaths are showing signs of a downward trend in the last week. Despite the country, that's the UK, having no real lockdown for months, the virus is diminishing. Just hope all the business's that have been hit can recover. I fear widespread job losses in many sectors. There will be an upturn but between then and now things could be hard for many people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
