Went to Sainsbury’s tonight to pick up a few bits. The only masks they are selling cost £16 a packet but if you don’t buy one you can’t enter the store. Absolute profiteering cunts.

Wilkinson's do good ones for about £2.

I love Wilkos. You can buy old fashioned shaving soap there. 

I like it but the prices have shot up on there compared to a few years ago. You used to be able to go in with a tenner and buy a 2 litre tin of paint, a multi-pack of paint brushes, a feather duster, a lump hammer, multi-pack of double deckers, 2 cans of red bull and come out with change.

Woolworths > Wilko

Went to the Asda tonight after work. They were giving them away free at the door to anyone who needed one but weren't refusing entry to anyone who didn't want to wear one.

14 day quarantine for those traveling back from Spain, potentially extending the period of self isolation when exhibiting symptoms from 7 to 10 days.

 

Are these the actions of a Government desperate to protect its people from the potential health and economic catastrophe a second wave would bring?

 

or

 

The actions of a Government who know they massively fucked up the first time around. Are responsible for many thousands of unnecessary deaths. Realise they will have some difficult questions to answer, as and when an enquiry takes place. So are now desperately trying to preserve their own arses by taking the kind of risk averse approach they dismissed at the outset of the pandemic?

 

In short, protecting the people or protecting themselves?

Feels again like a half way house bit, we have had patients who have been shedding the virus 12 to 13 days after initial symptoms so unless you are actually going to extend it for 2 weeks... Though I suppose the reckoning is that by 10 days most carriers will have surmounted it.

 

A huge amount of what the government is about currently is defending themselves in the face of a future public inquiry, I'm sure that's why there is a fair amount of obfuscated messaging rather than intervention.

It's a government of gestures rather than action. Same goes for masks. They're newsworthy talking points designed to be shared online and stay in the memory.

 

If they cared more about people they'd be convening some kind of war council behind closed doors looking at funding for the NHS, ventilator numbers, PPE numbers, financial support for care homes and the like, but that's not the stuff Mr and Mrs Red Wall would clock or remember. 

 

What you really want is Matt Hancock stood in front or a chart come Christmas time saying "look what more could we do? We got people to wear masks months after it all kicked off, we had a go at fat people and we put Spain on a shitlist while Grant Shapps was there and all had a good laugh.

The truth will out...

The UK has the most excess deaths across Europe!

True, but Woolies is running a tad low on stock since they closed all their stores. 

[Section_31]

Some stuff in the news today about Sweden's cases and deaths being really low now. What's going on there then? Is there some kind of herd immunity at work here but with t cells?

They opened a Woolworth's in our city centre last year. Although I believe it's a subsidiary and separated from the American company in the late 90's and therefore not affected like Uk stores. They did shut most of them down at one point but they seem to be making a comeback.

American company? I thought Woolworths was a British company? I’ll have to look into this now. My illusion is shattered.
