This smacks of manipulation to me. Get HMRC to declare the tests a taxable benefit so that the Chancellor can make himself look good by declaring that it isn't.

 

I suspect the same as well — it's already happened multiple times this year.

What?

 

I very much hope not. I'm currently getting tested weekly where I work and would not want to see money out of my salary for doing so. Ridiculous.

Jair Bolsonaro has tested positive.

 

I hope it finishes him off. 🤞

We've already been through this over here with our own PM. Unfortunately it didn't work :'(

It didn’t kill Boris but remember he’s a ‘fighter’ and had access to the ‘very best care’.

Well at least we can pray he develops some bad symptoms so he won't be able to claim this virus as a mild cough anymore. Of he gets away with mild symptoms, poor brazilians

I wouldn't want to wish misery upon him, but this is a clear case of karma biting him properly on the arse. Just the clear flouting of all the rules that he was above the virus.. I mean not even Trump is that stupid anymore. I can only hope it helps to stem to tide in Brazil, but I fear it won't.

'i'm not sick! would a sick person look like this?'

 

I had a fiery loathing of Bolsonaro even before this but his hubris and poor example is no doubt a reason that Brazil has suffered so badly. In the words of Brazilian Twitter, #forcacorona.

Reports on ITV News that people gave false addresses and phone numbers in pubs at the weekend. Some pubs didn't ask to see the phone but just gave out a form. Now they want to contact people after several out breaks, the numbers given don't exist. Suppose people object to giving their real details.

I’m not a wicked person, but for Brazil’s sake I really truly hope that evil f***er ends up in intensive care on a vent. Maybe then he will take this f***ing thing seriously when it almost kills him.

They should make it mandatory to show ID and note them down etc so they can track them better.

 

Don't wanna show your ID? Poor you, no drinks for you

As far as I am aware, I think the idea is that all the people in a restaurant or pub where an infected person has been will be asked to self-isolate for 14 days. That applies even to people who haven't been anywhere near the infected person and they won't be able to get a test that lets them end their self-isolation after a few days. In that case, it is hardly surprising that a lot of people don't want to put themselves through that.

I don’t understand the selfishness. If you want to go to a bar so desperately then give the damn details. If not. Then shut the shit up and stay the f*** at home.

 

 

 

Gladly gave my details to the bar in Berlin I was at a fortnight ago. No call from them so I’m in the clear from that night out.

I see the WHO are finding from studies that C19 is possibly an airbourne virus.

Of course it’s airborne. If it can travel in droplets from coughing, sneezing, spitting or talking, it’s classed as airborne

Trump's withdrawing the US from the WHO, it was confirmed yesterday. He has formally informed them and Congress of this. There had been speculation that he may wait until after the November election.

 

According to USA today, Joe Biden will immediately re-join if he becomes President.

There's a difference though.

 

Airborne means that it is also found in smaller droplets,which can longer on the air for hours. The 1.5m rule was based on the fact that it was only travelling by big droplets released durong coughing, sneezing, talking for a longer time etc.

 

It is not yet know if the viral load is big enough to cause an infection in the smaller droplets though

Surprised no-one's mentioned the stamp duty tax which will benefit homeowners and not first time buyers, but also the nationalised Taste Card :lol:

I much prefer to Eat Out To Help Out :D

Just bought a flat so was literally a week too late to take advantage of the stamp duty changes. I'm hoping that Subway is included in the 50% food discount.
