Covid-19 Virus

I didn't notice this bit in the couple of simple news articles on the subject which popped up first, source?

Also, when you say it "reduces load significantly for upto 6 hours", do you mean it spends 6 hours combating what's already there, or that it protects against future infection for up to 6 hours? Or both? Maybe there's not much of a difference.

 

I’m not drinking it unless Dolly Parton does.

 

Backed the wrong horse here ain’t I? Got a bloody garage full of bleach and now they’re saying mouthwash does the job?! I give in, five pallets of toilet duck, just give me cost I want it gone.

 

My girlfriend is a dental nurse and she says getting patients to mouth wash with this when they come in has been recommended and in play since June.

 

What commission are you getting from the boys at listerine @Cthulhu?

 

Nothing stopping you from gargling toilet duck, just remember not to swallow any, it can't be worse than injecting bleach.

 

Much the same as the detergent/soap does when you wash your hands.

 

I think I saw Viral Lipid Envelope supporting The Fall on tour.

 

12 authors? 1/12 of an impact factor - that'll get your citation index 'up'.

 

Is that before the lead singer and bass guitar left to form Dua Lipa ?

Have you asked her to give you some of that gas they use so you can get through matchdays?

WARNING. If you're 'huffing' NO2 in your spare time then you're a moron - make 'friends' with a medic/pharmacist as fentanyl's much 'better'.

 

Yes but another month of lockdown is well worth the price of spending time with family for a day, surely.
I'd be happy to have a very strict lockdown on 24th-26th, can xmas this year, and not have to spend time travelling to and talking with relatives.
Really don't understand why Xmas is such a big deal in so many people lives. Yes you get to spend time with family but you can do that any time throughout the year, CV19 permitting, you don't have to wait for the fog and drizzle in December....and don't get me started on those front garden decorations.

 

You lightweight wuss. I can 'cram' in a 'lot' of 'refreshment' in 96 hours.

 

It always astounds me when people say "we had 20 people around the table at xmas", TuT is right we have the ability to meet family all year round.

I am probably biased mainly because my parents moved up to Bushey from Plymouth and as such we had no relatives living anywhere near us, I'd usually only see my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins in the summer anyway. So xmas dinner was the same as any other day, just my parents, my brothers and me.

Since I've left home, my parents are happy to continue their Christmas and they expect us to have our own family Christmases and we would generally meet up for lunch or dinner at some point between 26th and 31st Dec anyway.

I suspect in some families it's the only time they bother bringing granny around all year and that's just sad really.

 

But that's exactly the point, surely? Christmas is a time when families traditionally get together. It doesn't have to be on the day itself, and from what I read of the proposed relaxation, it wouldn't just be on the 25th. But it would give families a chance to get together over the 'festive period'.

The other point is that almost everyone will be off work at this time, so it is an obvious period to get together. But that wouldn't be so at other times in the year. There is also the tradition of family members giving other family members gifts, which doesn't work so well in August...

 

Dammit thought I was going to get away with avoiding them this year.

 

I stopped using mouthwash when I realized it was giving me bad mouth ulcers but thanks for the advice I shall incresae my Bourbon intake instead.

 

Groups of 6 makes more sense. Policing who is from which household is just too problematic.

 

It makes more sense but it's not much of a concession to a "family Christmas". If you are a family of four you could only have one set of grandparents at a time.

 

True but the issue is large gatherings in confined spaces. When you increase the number of attendees you exponentially increase the contact footprint. When you decrease the distance between people you increase the transmission rate. There's nothing to stop people having Xmas day and then boxing day with a different set of family for example.

I think there needs to be a relaxation for Xmas but go too far and we risk havging to implement restrictions next Xmas as well. It's a fine blance, too draconian for too long and people either don't adhere or get get bored and stop complying, too soft and rates will jump again when January and Feburary are peak months for NHS resources. It's not easy.

 

Yes, I quite agree but while 'there is nothing to stop it', in many cases it may not be what people are used to and I can see why the government is considering relaxation in that regard. If nothing else, Christmas is very traditional and people will resent having their traditions interfered with. You may say that's not good enough reason - it probably isn't - but resentment of restrictions is likely to increase rates of non-compliance in the longer term.

At the very least this needs to be resolved as soon as it can be so people can start to make plans.

 

What about those whose tradition is to get hammered and then go to a club every Friday night ?

 

They are probably not uppermost in the government's thoughts...

 

I’ve always viewed xmas day as an absolute waste of time, I like Xmas but only the build up in December. Xmas day is just a massive anti-climax, trying to please loads of different people and ultimately failing a lot of the time. The other thing I like about xmas is it’s kind of the equivalent of the weekend to the rest of the year. Normally you’re working, or busy on weekends and when you take holiday normally you go away. Xmas is normally a nice chance to just relax for a week or two, eat, drink watch films, a nice mental break at the end of the year.

As we’ve not been able to do anything for most of the year I’m absolutely sick of eating, drinking and watching films and do not need the mental full stop. Essentially Xmas is just a waste of time full stop this year so I don’t see what all the fuss is about. Better off just forgetting about it and having a do over to next year.
