You know the answer to this one. It's Tuesday though. I had to check too.

I think this is the most delicious part of it, that poll showing the majority of women believe that trans women are women, and glinner has put himself in the "angry transphobe man" camp.

e: Chromosome 9 contains over 130 million base pairs, of which over 85% have been determined. One set of these is DMRT1, doublesex and mab-3 related transcription factor 1, which is involved in making the gonads which produce sex hormones. It is on neither the X nor Y chromosome.

its essentially officially over as of July 4th now

https://twitter.com/guardiannews/status/1275352698930565122?s=20

Yeah, it's just been confirmed.

From BBC:

From 4 July pubs and restaurants will be allowed to open both indoors and outdoors if they put in safety guidelines including table service online.

Other businesses allowed to reopen will be:

Hotels, bed and breakfasts, campsites and caravan parks
Hair salons and barbers but with visors worn
Playgrounds, museums, galleries, theme parks, outdoor gyms and arcades, libraries, social clubs and community centres
However nightclubs, spas, indoor soft play areas, bowling alleys, water parks, indoor gyms, nail bars, swimming pools and water parks will not be able to reopen at this stage.

Reduced to 1m where 2m isn't possible.

Upshot is that it's now going to be possible to open pubs, I'm on a zoom presentation with BrewDog and others as I type: essentially 2m rule reduces capacity to 30% which is impossible for most businesses to open, 2m raises this to around 60-70% capacity which makes many more possible to open.

I can tell you for nowt that most museums will not be reopening then.

Certainly not the big ones.

Though this does mean we probably get a second lockdown in about 2 months after murdering more people so that is "great". loving hell.

Perhaps I'm just being cynical and nihilistic, but I feel like in the certainty of an explosion of cases again, government policy will be to just plough through and not implement even the loosest of lockdowns until public outrage is high enough and actively forces their hand (again), and they'll pull a "don't go to work, but you only get paid 60% on furlough" or whatever.

That'll be interesting - I wonder if they'll insist on 11pm closing times. As it gets later and people get drunker they're much worse at distancing anyway, so it would make sense.

This has been my expectation since the original end, they could be doing 1k deaths a day and they still wouldn't willingly go back into lockdown and they absolutely wouldn't reinstate the furlough program.

All straight marriages become gay marriages, your wife gets the autism vaccines and becomes a lesbian, men in kilts steal her and turn her into a man, two dozen men wearing glitter turn your home into a disco, glitter gets everywhere, like you're still finding bits months later. Jews are involved somehow, I think they profit from selling the glitter, this is not antisemitic. This is what Glinner actually believes.

Yup, this is a pretty transparently numbers fuckhead move designed to restart the economy at the cost of lives.

I'll be honest - since my dad passed (Dying is expensive - don't do it) my mind hasn't been on COVID. Is it the case we are coming out too early? Are we likely to spike again? How bad is it going to be?

So for anyone with a brain, around the end of July is about the time every thirsty amateur will have stopped clogging up the pubs? That 4th of July weekend is gonna be New Years Eve+, none of the Spoons Gammon crowd are going to respect distancing/queueing in the slightest. I can't even see how any of the Soho pubs I drink in being able to operate under these shoddy as gently caress 'guidelines' anyway.

What it looks like from the ONS data is that Covid has been smothered enough not to currently causing excess deaths in some regions, but in most of the midlands and north it's still active enough any reopening is a fools errand.

OwlFancier
Aug 22, 2013

Well the disease is still circulating heavily in the population, and the lockdown was the only thing controlling the spread, because the government was too slow and didn't contain it so now it's everywhere and realistically the only way to fix it is to either lockdown everyone for long enough for it to be almost eradicated (which the government won't pay for, or take the necessary step of telling banks and landlords to gently caress off which would limit the cost) or to just keep killing people until about 50% of the population have had it and become immune or died, at which point the infectivity may be low enough (owing to a lack of viable targets) that it may start to die back naturally.

I would suggest if you want a vision of the future, look back in time at the point where we were at 160 odd deaths per day and climbing, then look forward on the death toll graph to see how the next few weeks will play out, albeit proably slightly slower due to the very scant restrictions still in place and with like, a two week lag time or something due to the incubation period.

to be "fair" to them they have literally never pretended otherwise, it's been "business groups" and Tory MPs pushing for it the whole time. even now they have had to go to 1+ m which makes me wonder if they couldn't get sage or whoever to sign off on just dropping it to 1 m

oh well I'm glad the pandemics over and I will be straight down the pub because I "continue to trust in the common sense and the community spirit of the British people to follow this guidance, to carry us through, and to see us to victory over this virus” and definitely keep at least 1 m distance from each other and pay attention to the small print about it actually being 2 m unless you take "mitigations to reduce the risk of transmission", no matter how battered they get

Don't worry the virus cannot go around corners, settle on your face hair or hands to be later transferred to your mouth nose or eyes, nor can it get into your drink and immediately go straight into your system.
