Because watching the news would be the only way to tell there was a pandemic happening obviously! 🤨 Exactly, as I said to DH, have they not tried to go the cinema, the pub, see a concert, watch sport, wonder why there was no Olympics or Euros, book a holiday etc in the last nine months? Idiots |

Now THIS is how you do a lockdown. Are you watching, Florida? Apparently not. Nice to see some countries are serious about stopping Covid.

Our news last night reported on the Police stopping a car and fining the three occupants for travelling for miles and miles to get burgers. They claimed they didn't know there was a pandemic going on became they don't watch the news! Yeah, right. Was that here? That’s hilariously pathetic 🙄 She drove from Lincoln to Scarborough to meet her sister and have a McDonald's meal LINK There's more than just her. There was another one that drove from Luton to Devises using the same excuse although I think that was an excuse as he was caught driving without insurance but even so LINK If you are going to lie to the police with a stupid excuse make sure there is a Mc D in the town you're visiting first  |

Djokovich was a dick before COVID and he'll be one once it's no longer an issue. THAT. |

Very true - he's said he's opposed to having the vaccine and doesn't know what he'll do if it becomes a requirement to travel, and doesn't want to be 'foced' to have it. Also: He doesn't care about anyone else now because he's already had it. Someone on Reddit called him NoVax DjoCovid😃 I used to be a big fan up until about 2 or so years ago. |

yes and now she suddenly sees the need for strict quarantine. It makes me wonder about the wisdom of the Olympic games going ahead, those athletes are going to be even harder to manage, and there will be so many more of them & their support staff, it's going to take a lot to keep them contained, and they will need a Government that is really tough in enforcing the rules. I do feel sorry for the athletes, but if they get infected they aren't going to perform well anyway. |

I do feel sorry for the athletes, but if they get infected they aren't going to perform well anyway. I honestly cannot see any way for the Olympics to be held safely, or the deferred 2020 Euro Football Cup which is supposed to happen over 12 countries, between mid-June and mid-July. I feel for Japan, and all the countries involved in the football planning, and the athletes, but these events are so much bigger than the tennis in terms of competitors, so much more risk involved too. |

Yes I saw her apology  I just can't see the Olympics being safely workable...I just can't. I get the strong wish for it to go ahead but it'll be a nightmare to organise, there will be people saying they lost out on medals because they didn't know they were coming down with the virus, people blaming others for making them miss out/infecting them etc etc. Even if it happens there will be so much potential controversy won't there? |

Yes, I was surprised at the Japanese PM saying the Olympics would be happening. I really can't see it, much as I love the games and the Euros, I would rather they waited. Let's not set up a campfire in a smouldering forest.

I've just read that some players have got to isolate again as a hotel worker has tested positive. The championship starts on Monday 4. Days before the Australian Open is due to start, a number of tennis players have been told to isolate after a worker at their hotel in Melbourne tested positive for Covid-19. In all, more than 500 people - including officials and support staff - are affected.
Eeeek!  |
