Unless the government grows a pair and starts making grown up decisions like the rest of the world I fear COVID 2.0 could be a lot worse than the first wave.

You will be waiting a long time for that, i think.

We have not even reached November and some hospitasl are already at capacity.

Get this one.

When they built the Nightingale hospitals, nobody thought to put toilets in them, so they are now desperately having to put some in.

At Birmingham they had portaloos for the construction crew. Everyone thought they were going to be the toilets for the patients. Until they took them away

Wales now off limits.

The **** s!!! I was heading down there for half term on Friday.

Happy days

It reads like the Norwegians have managed to come up with an innovative way to cull their elderly. Just pile them all onto a bus and send them roaming around the countryside until nature takes it's course.

The Governemnt is gearing up for vaccinations in November and December.

The latest figures for sources of the virus

All the fuzzy warm taking care of people stopsn then going to work and filling the MPs pension pots and PPE businesses.

Hospitality gives people hangovers and they don't go to work, and they stop filling the MPs pension pots and PPE businesses.

Stop them getting hangovers, keep the distractions like kids out of the way and everyone can work and "everyone" is happy. Just s bit of a shame a few people die.

Not that I'm at all cynical that this government don't give a **** about the people of this country.

I'd say the government is doing a very good job of representing the majority of public feeling. What saddens me is the fact that the majority of us are complete **** s!!!

My son had a message on his phone yesterdya that he might have come into contact with someone who had tested positive.

He hasn't been away from the house since last Tuesday.

Seems there were people refused hospital treatment in the first wave. Shocking.

France and Germany are going back to some strict lockdowns.

Can't see the UK being far behind in all honesty.

Portugal is already back in a pretty strict lockdown as well, and according to the MiL they are expecting more restrictions soon.

Only here do the politicians value their own political position and money making over people lives.

Yep. full lockdown here from Friday - signed paperwork to leave the house - essential travel only. To be until Dec 1st for now.

The quarantine/iso requirement stress on our work force is taking its toll. We found out a work mate committed suicide yesterday at home. He was due out to work in a week. Usual story, well adjusted guy and had been offshore for 20 yrs.

It’s f**king sad in this day and age blokes still think they have to hold everything in and just ‘harden up’.

I hope the company take this seriously as the attempt we had in quarantine a couple of months ago seemed to be treated quite blasé, blaming his other problems for the attempt with no consideration that what we are being subject to is taking a toll.

Very few companies seem to care about mental health.

Funnily enough we just had a big mental health education session last time offshore. But all lip service. A week later they changed our shifts from 3 weeks to 6 weeks with no dialogue with us thy are actually doing it

The head of my department is our point of contact for mental health issues.

Her idea to deal with my stress was for me to take 2 weeks off then go back to doing the same thing. She's cancelled the follow meetings I've had in the diary.
