Get the snip pal. 

Most peaceful afternoon I've had in 6 years when I had it done. Even with an injection into the ball! 

She’s been on at me to have it, though the injection into the ball isn’t the most appealing!

On LBC they say you can meet one person outside your house hold

“You can also meet up with one person from outside your household, as long as you remain two metres away from each other. This wasn't mentioned by Boris Johnson, but has been briefed to journalists.”

 

That’s absolute horse shit.

No one is going to adhere to that.

Next weekend will be house party central.

Stock up on charcoal, you’ll mAke a fortune.

But then you have each household member meeting a different one person and the thing turns into a free for all

Social scientist on Beeb just said the message should be.

"Stay at home unless you know you'll be able to keep the distancing rules at all times"

He also said face masks save lives, should be mandatory.

Going to be a monster rise in infections and deaths over the summer, I'm going for 90000 by August

R is well below 1 if you take out care homes and hospitals, so the key is how well we look after those environments.

How is that remotely quantifiable when nobody outside of those environments have been tested?

[Spider]

Again

A person is smart. People are stupid.

He’s given the nation that’s got the highest number of deaths in Europe an inch, and now loads of them will take a mile. Or however far the nearest Beaty spot is.

I've noticed that whilst this has been going on the pro-government backers have usually understood these announcements, whilst the Tory bashers always claim that the information given isn't clear.....

Anyway, pubs are opening in July......

R is between 0.5 and 0.9, they think. They dont know what it is because there's still no decent antibody test, it's a guess. Common sense says it's less than 1 because of the reductions in hospital admissions, deaths, etc. If it goes over 1, they need to know before they can see it in the hospital admissions, otherwise it will take a month to get it down again.

I’m not a scientist, but reading what scientists have said.

And, if LBC are correct, this meeting up with one person from another household

OK, maintain 2 metres

Lad meets his gf in moss bank park

That's acceptable as it's specifically referred to

Can they meet in our back garden

And if so, can me and Mrs casino meet up with another couple in the back garden

Cos if we can, barbies really are back on

Not being a dick, just wondering what we are trying to achieve?

Indeed. By the time they see the hospital admissions rising it will be too late to avoid another spike in deaths.  The sensible thing would have been to follow Scotland and Wales and keep lockdown rules the same for the next few weeks.

But he said you can only play sport with your own household

Next breath you can meet up with somebody from another household

That to me green lights a game of golf with your mate

Nobody really knows what is the best way out. 
 

Germany might have gone back > R1, for example

One person.

So 4 people can meet 4 people, 8 can meet 8 and so on.

I understand what he’s getting at to a point, but we all know there’s enough people who’ll take advantage of the ambiguity and throw us all under the bus.

Golf and tennis are allowed, I believe.

Hang about what’s this one person from another household business he ain’t said that

[Spider]

We need several weeks of really shit weather to give us half a chance.

4 weeks like the last 4 and it’s going to be ridiculous.
