What day will shops be closed? I need a pair of 38-32 bootcuts

I have a couple of spare pairs if you send me a PM. Levi’s and Wranglers.

The fellas who think it’s all a cod are easier to understand but the likes of you @Tierneevin1979 and @Tim_Riggins who think it’s a real dangerous virus but are adamant lockdowns arent the answer confuse me.

I’m more sanguine about a lockdown for the next couple of months on the proviso we properly subsidise businesses closed and that this is the end of it.

Rolling lockdowns without a vaccine was insanity.

Announcement of stupidity alert

[Tierneevin1979]

You answered your own question. You have to stay locked down indefinitely which is not just not practical but as we are discovering not possible. When enough people have decided getting infected is less of a concern than being in lockdown you have lost the battle.

It really bothers lockdown loons that Sweden has not had the projected 100k deaths. Time to admit defeat

The only one who made any prediction about Sweden on TFK was yourself where you said Sweden were done with Covid. You got it horribly wrong. You should really desist from pretending to know anything about this.

NZ, UK, US, Sweden, Poland & Cheese eating surrender Monkeys approaches to Covid-19

It’s remarkable to think that Sweden who never had a lockdown are done with Covid while the rest of the western world are either still in lockdown six months later or looking at re imposing lockdowns. This is exactly what was predicted by the astute posters (the murderers) on TFK back in March, once you enter lockdown you can never truly leave.

@Batigol

How does this happen?

I’m not sure to be honest. Like the swab is confirmed positive but I’m not sure where the backlog occurs between a positive swab to a case being confirmed in the figures announced on the news.

We are subsidising businesses here. We gave one of the biggest businesses in the world a 13bn tax write off recently enough. Even paid their legal fees.

[Appendage]

They won’t though. They’ll roll out a scheme that seems great and then make it a pain in the bollocks to administer.

The CRSS is a classic. They’ll pay you if you’re shut but not if you choose to shut because your footfall has been decimated.

[Appendage]

Sensible.

There is a further manual check on the swabs to cross reference with source data according to that conor riocht guy on Twitter which accounts for some of the discrepancy

That would be done in a lab wouldnt it?

[Heyyoubehindthebushes]

Post of the year. Well done sir

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

Yeah, it’s a bit sickening when they try and pretend they are doing it for some common good when the real motive is not to work.

@Iggy

George Lee is hearing “screaming alarm bells”.

At the lack of a coherent and ambitious vaccine roll out?

[Tierneevin1979]

A very minor issue in the grand scheme of things.

Level 5 full lockdown here we come.
