But one of the best things about a mask is lip syncing along to a song

 

[Cloud]

I thought the whole thing about transmission of the virus is that it is about spending extended periods in proximity to people and that transmission from touching things is pretty minimal? @Cloud - can you confirm or deny this?

No idea, I stopped pretending to be an expert after a certain amount of shit for obsessing over the covid thread.

I thought the same TBH, I think schools are the biggest culprit right now but that's just a hunch...

 

[Star]

Yes I had read secondary schools are the biggest culprit right now. I had a zoom meeting with my youth group last night and several of them were off school for a fortnight as their school was closed.

Just learned I live in the WORST NEIGHBOURHOOD IN SCOTLAND for Covid cases

That PS5 will certainly come in handy

@COB do let us know what it’s like vr’ing the giraffe

And of course schools and supermarkets are the biggest culprits right now

they’re the only bloody things open

JUST WALKED AROUND MANCHESTER CITY CENTRE AND EVERYTHING IS PRETTY MUCH SHUT. IT’S LIKE A GHOST TOWN.

My life is empty without the offerings of Oxford Road

Come (back) to London. My work high street is the complete opposite

 

[SDF]

Omg what high street are you on? I wanna go shopping in Poundland

Every poundland is open!

 

[Cloud]

Wouldn't mind a visit to pound land myself right now but that's got nothing to do with shopping

 

[SDF]

Every poundland is open!

I know hun, getting those knock off charging cables are pretty essential in these times though x

IS THERE A VR POUNDLAND?

 

[Cloud]

IS THERE A VR POUNDLAND?

There are a few USERS by variations of that name

 

[Ellie]

Our Poundland was even open for the first lockdown. I think they managed to get around it by the fact that they sold tinned food, biscuits and toiletries .

I've done it but still copped some stares from others as my mask moves up and down my face.

I lip sync Whitney and Mariah so it makes sense.

"According to the Daily Telegraph, several families could be allowed to join in one "bubble" and mix between 22 and 28 December."

So people can mix just because it's Christmas? Is the virus taking a week off too?

Nope, we're just probably going to have lockdown all January to compensate.

I'd rather have January free. I DEMAND A REFERENDUM

ALL I KNOW IS THAT I HAVE SOCIALLY DISTANCED FROM THE WORLD FOR SO LONG NOW AND HAVE OBEYED ALL THE RULES SO I AM GOING TO SEE MY MUM AT CHRISTMAS, NO MATTER WHAT. IT’LL ONLY BE ME AND MY MUM ANYWAY AND SHE IS THE MOST SENSIBLE PLANET ON THIS EARTH AND HASN’T GONE NEAR A SOUL FOR MONTHS EITHER.

It's not more important than Indie's annual birthday pub crawl.

On previous form, what chance that does that having of solving our problems?

I'm not judging! I don't think most people are following restrictions anyway. It is just another non-scientific decision made by a government in the pandemic

I‘m not quite sure why I‘m hoping for restrictions to be relaxed over Christmas as more than one day with Mama Zu always leaves me feeling like TURD

KEEP THEM IN PLACE PLEASE

What is Mama Zu like? I am getting visions of a Zsa Zsa Gabor (pre car crash) style figure.

A needy, overly sexualised nightmare with no boundaries and an attention-seeking I’m So Ill narrative

 

[octophone]

Fuck Christmas. I'm really disappointed in Wales and Scotland for indulging this "oooh, what about Christmas?" horseshit. A third peak in mid-January? NO THANKS.

Suffice it to say that every conversation revolves around yet another water infection AKA the DOWN THERE and doctors (AKA men) being terrible

The UK government will announce on Monday that self-isolation will no longer be required for those who have come into contact with people who have tested positive for COVID-19, the Telegraph reported.

Contacts of those who test positive will be asked to undergo daily tests for seven days, and will be allowed to go about their business in the meantime, the newspaper said.

Ministers will say that the current system of requiring people to stay at home for 14 days will be dismantled nationwide in January, if pilot schemes succeed, according to the newspaper.

This seems like a HIGHLY ILLOGICAL thing to be announcing or even CONSIDERING rn, but what's new there?

Is there enough tests available for anyone exposed to get daily tests for 7 days? that seems impractical

 

[Soldi]

Let’s also not forget the week or so over Christmas where they’ll pretend the virus never existed as well!
