Lockdown/Covid Check In

@catogrande Getting used to it. I think it makes sense in confined airspaces where you can't ventilate like a taxi, a bus, a plane or the tube.
That’s my slightly irrational fear. I don’t want to end up like many of our Far Eastern friends. It’s the danger of meeting a fugly girl but with nice eyes. Too high a price to pay.

Gotta hold our nerves. Cases will go up soon as Europe has shown. Gotta keep tabs on the hospital / icu / death stats. Cases should not be relevant.
Agreed. There was an important fact in a post on another thread about vaccine efficacy. None will 100% prevent you catching it but all will pretty near 100% prevent hospitalisation or death. Making the virus manageable.

Important discovery.

did you go to the pub on the first day? or waiting until the hair and nails were sorted?
-
@mariner4life there's a nice country pub by me but even that's going to be full of riffrafs sitting outside it at the moment... So no, i won't be going to any pubs. I'll let them all calm down a bit first before a Sunday lunch outing.
Nails and hair just for me. -
@r-l
Sitting outside.
In England.
In April!!!!!!!??
GRETA WAS RIGHT!

@dogmeat How dare you!
I think that just being allowed out at all might be the key to it. Rain, hail or shine.Besides they're British, they'll talk about the weather, complain about the weather, then go out in the weather (now that they are allowed to).
Piss taking aside, my Father in law needs to get out since my MiL died 4 months ago. I think he is losing it. It has been close to solitary confinement.

That's tough for the old bugger. One of the uncounted costs of lockdown.

Ahh didn't realise. Don't bother bro, rich fluffybunnies telling us how hard their life is and that they're on the verge of tears when doing their high paying TV show where they sit and talk to people.

There ya go.
Phillip Schofield has revealed that he and Holly Willoughby are “on the brink of tears” all the time when presenting This Morning. The co-presenters opened up about how the pandemic has left them “on the edge” emotionally and that they have to be “careful” not to cry during an episode, specifically during the daily Spin to Win competition. Schofield told The Sunday Mirror: “When a Spin to Win winner says, ‘Oh my God, you’ve been amazing’, ‘I’ve entered since the start’, that kind of thing – you’ve got to be quite careful because I think we’re all on the edge, you could cry at the drop of a hat.” He continued: “It’s so hard sometimes and you think, ‘You have to centre yourself.’ We are all on the brink of tears all the time so it doesn’t take much of a push.” Willoughby said that they were delighted to hear viewers call the ITV breakfast programme a “comfort blanket” during the pandemic. Schofield added that “the viewers were our comfort blanket too”. Speaking about the lockdown restrictions, the Dancing on Ice presenter said: “I think it’s those small things, those small liberties that you take for granted that you never thought anybody would take away from you ever.” This Morning airs every weekday at 10am on ITV.
Talk about disconnected from the real world.

@victor-meldrew I feel like that could have been stolen straight out of a Grinder episode.
-
@victor-meldrew Wow guys, I read this differently to the rest of you, didn't trigger me at all, but then I'm fond of Phil and Holly... They aren't claiming they are upset with their lot, think it's more of a show of compassion.
We are all human guys... 😔
Edit, also think this is such a non-story. Nothing better to write about.
Edit edit. But I support your choice to post it @Bones
-
@r-l I really feel for them eh, having to be careful and struggling back those tears while being chauffeured home to eat their chef cooked lunch. Must be tough.
-
@bones you actually believe any of that has been used in context? I don't at all. It was probably from during the first lock down when everyone, pretty much everyone, would have been on the verge of tears most days. It's being used now for the sake of a story, for reactions just like yours...
