@davids355 - we bought a large chest freezer in march so we could
stock-it and our tall fridge freezer. if you didnt no, you can freeze milk
for upto 3 months, so we leave 12 pints in the fridge freezer
and freeze around 30 pints in the chest freezer - and it defrosts fine
Exactly. There's not enough test capacity in our country, and the waiting queue is 5-6 days now if you want to get tested.We all gotta catch it one day or get a vacine. Lockdown wont save us. Winter is near and the numbers will go up pretty soon again
Frozen milk takes up too much space better off getting a powdered
creamed milk lasts for 2-4 years.. .gives you more freezer space![]()
big chest freezer - we also have 1k tins of coffee mate
You are absolutely right.Lockdown is not going to curb the virus, it just delays it. As soon as the lockdown is opened, infections will rise again. India is a live example of this.
Govt. should increase the testings,instead of lockdown. It will only hurt the economy and the people.
To be fair, I was in Korea from March until July. Almost no social distancing as well. I remember every day when I was sitting in a Starbucks, it would be crowded as fuck. No seat left. People next to each other just with centimeters of distance. The same goes for the subway over there. Every day, everywhere in the city and probably in the whole country. Meanwhile, there were no consequences. No increase of cases.Not surprised, it's normal life here in the UK, no social distancing happening at all, even in the pubs. They just have the image that we are social distancing with tape, screens ect, but most people are just ignoring social distancing.
The only significant step the public have taken is masks.
It is just depressing, nothing else.
You are absolutely right.
Also, I don't think it is justified. This is not a killer virus. The people are acting like every other person is going to die, but it is bullshit. 99% of the people are fine.
I just don't see how the mortality rate etc. are justifying the destruction of the economy. I mean, WAY MORE people are going to suffer WAY MORE from the lockdown, than they will from the virus.
Okay, what then?Oh yeah forgot 99% of the population is young and healthy. No issues there.
As said many time before it has nothing to do with how deadly it is.
Okay, what then?
As far as I remember the ultimate goal was to "flatten the curve". Nobody wanted scenes like in Italy or China with overcrowded hospitals and no beds in the ICU left. It was never the goal to get rid of the virus. You can't get rid of the virus.
You can make a lockdown for two months now and after this get back to normal. Guess what will happen? The same shit will repeat over and over again.
Time to hoard the toilet paper? And make a kill post the announcement. Anyway take care.
These rules make no sense. So going out in groups of more than 6 is illegal but you go to eat or go bowling or whatever where you'll be surrounded by scores of people anyway?? I don't know who's coming up with these stupid rules but they need shooting.
Luckily no one is paying attention. You look like more of an imbecile wearing a mask around here than you do wearing one.
It doesn't make sense if you look at it like that.
Ideally the theory is that you can be in a group of no more than 6 without social distancing (I imagine) BUT if you go bowling you should be 2m apart from the other group...
Problem is people won't follow it now. People don't follow it currently and based on my limited visits from the shops, shop keepers don't know what 2m is based on the distance of the stickers on the floor!
UK won't hit another lockdown OR if they do it will be after October they can't "lockdown" to the extent they did before not just after they got kids back in school.. at least that's my theory anyway.
The local down not far from me in Wales is daft again its a full lockdown in Caerphilly. But you can still go outside of Caerphilly if you need to travel to work just you can't let friends outside of that county enter from another.
Its a fine line the gov are trying to balance and they just can't seem to find the "right" way at the moment.
The real answer to the entire problem is introduce a basic living wage for all and just lock down and get business back up and running later.
