Hence why I’ve called you out on it. Are you still talking? Tennis is an individual sport?! Haha.

I did not mean that thing and have explained that several times. Yet, rather than accept that you misinterpreted what I meant, you seem to be detemined to tell me you know what I meant better than I did and are taking snippets out of context to try to pretend I said and meant things I very, very clear did not from the context of the post. If you read what I originally posted, it is very, very clear what I meant. Please stop erroneously telling me what I meant and please stop pretending you know what I meant better than I did. You interpreted what I meant differently to how I meant it. I'd be grateful if you would just accept that and stop trying to incorrectly pretend you know what I was really trying to say. It really is quite odd behaviour. I'm so bored I'm hoping you post photos of the results! Very impressed with the results... pint glass for size comparison.

Tennis isnt Given the medical advisers are still saying that going out to get some exercise is recommended, what's wrong with tennis? If you play with other people from your household, you're likely to be doing more social distancing from others than if you go out for a walk. Sounds like a reasonable thing to do to me.

Cider_boy Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Several pages back I saw some misleading figures about how many extra deaths there had been so far this year. In fact so far we are running at below the average of the last 5 years: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/datasets/weeklyprovisionalfiguresondeathsregisteredinenglandandwales Week number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Week ended 03-Jan-20 10-Jan-20 17-Jan-20 24-Jan-20 31-Jan-20 07-Feb-20 14-Feb-20 21-Feb-20 28-Feb-20 06-Mar-20 Total deaths, all ages 12,254 14,058 12,990 11,856 11,612 10,986 10,944 10,841 10,816 10,895 Total deaths: average of corresponding week over the previous 5 years 12,175 13,822 13,216 12,760 12,206 11,925 11,627 11,548 11,183 11,498 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusX Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 6 hours ago, wood_red said: What is the point of that story, a few people are feeling ill after attending a festival (that they never had to attend). So just 3 people out of 250000 but it must have been caught there, surely there would be a lot higher percentage of people who got it if they got it there? It's not as if they have been anywhere else is it? Perhaps not everyone posts on twitter when they’re ill? I know it was the last thing on my Mind when I had whatever it was at Xmas. I couldn’t even reach over to pick up my phone it would be surprising if no one caught or spread the virus at such a large gathering though. 6 hours ago, robin_unreliant said: That was the kind of reaction I expected tbh. That isn't what I'm saying. Where is the shock and outrage for the 600,000 loved ones who die every year is the point. Why isn't there massive pressure to spend whatever it takes to save them when there isn't a pandemic. Why has everyone been happy to sit back and allow the govt to decide not to spend more on healthcare in the past when that is condemning people to die early? The reaction to this is at odds with how we normally decide spending on healthcate is all I'm saying. Many people voted for Brexit because of a bus slogan to spend more money on the NHS. The problem is since then no one has held the government to account for not actually giving the NHS any more money. There’s also the mismanagement that needs to be sorted before they throw money at it. 3 hours ago, daored said: Stupid question , local pub is selling bottles - it’s a brewery. Is it safe to buy ? Keen to support them in this difficult time I saw places doing this, I appreciate they have to survive but people queuing up at the pub to have their bottles filled up with beer etc is as bad as them going to the pub in the first place - defeats the point 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why I've deleted a load of people on Facebook.. I don't understand why this shouldn't be talked about in political terms though.

Show some ******* leadership. Even if an Italian style ‘lockdown’ was imposed tonight the cases and deaths would still rise sharply over the next few weeks. I don’t understand how we can still allow ******* morons to stroll around Weston Seafront in huge numbers despite the constant warnings from the Government and the Health Service? Im a key worker so I’ve got no choice but there were plenty of people out and about in Bristol yesterday who certainly didn’t appear to be working. Clearly a large number of people in this country can’t be trusted so this surely now needs to be enforced in some way.

I wasn’t scaremongering and I certainly wasn’t preaching - so you give it a rest - I was responding to a poster who said he/she hadn’t seen quoted figures of 250k+ possible deaths - I was providing the info they asked for - that’s all, no need for you to butt in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
