Another Lockdown Coming?

Recommended Posts

Latest update from Spain!

A number of regions, including Andalusia, Castilla y León and Murcia, @Skippy also want to introduce a full home lockdown, like the one imposed between March and April last year.

Oh FFS......not again! This is because they let all the fucking Dagos run loose over Xmas and New Year! And the likes of us have to suffer for it!

Fucking psycho! She'd turn off somebody's Life Support machine just to charge her mobile phone!

A shed constitutes a luxury dwelling in the “Pretty Shitty City”, they should’ve claimed they were family - which they probably were  ?

 

 

That film was brilliant!

Hospitals have taken to renting freezer trailers and using them as temporary morgues outside, they've got no space inside. Hospitals are freaking out as newly sick people are about to start getting triage not needed until now, and running out of resources.

Our health service is usually very good, but they've been cutting down on doctors over the last few years, now they're trying to hire people on a rush and it's no surprise they're having difficulties.

The church, themselves, have canceled all masses and events, and will be doing everything online. I thought someone has just lost their chance for a proper cheap wedding involving no reception :classic_laugh: It's the first time this has happened though, doesn't bother me none but it's a sign of the times.

Funeral companies are asking for an authorization to forego wakes, they've got no venues for so many people at the same time.

 

On the other hand, abandoned clinics and other buildings are being taken over by the state and converted to covid hospitals. I wouldn't want to be working for the state right now, being a politician or any kind of managerial post right now must be horrible.

Wakes are a waste of money anyways, so is the box and car ride to be dumped in a hole in the ground. People spend stupid money on the dumb stuff and not important stuff like  the party afterward. :littleguy:

There's no party afterwards, in Portugal. It's a really sad and gloomy old school catholic event, here. You cry and starve and feel bad about stuff.

Anything to do with births, marriages and funerals is a real money spinner nowdays.

Here, funerals aren't really that expensive as you do get a refund from social security, that covers most of what a normal funeral costs.

Marriages, yes, that can get as expensive as you want.

Here, you have to finance the whole funeral from your own pocket......no government help.

If someone is unable to pay the costs of the funeral the local council will provide a paupers funeral......very basic.....a Transit van to the crematorium....no ashes.

I was quite surprised when i dealt with Maria's funeral, I wasn't worried about the cash or even thought about it. When I went to pay for it, the funeral guy did get my payment but ordered a refund on my behalf and I got most of it back within a month without any effort. It works quite well.

That guy did exactly what everyone in that industry should do, which is taking care of stuff when you are going through the worst days of your life and are not able to.

Shit! Sounds like things are really bad there!

But I guess, like here, it's a consequence of letting people circulate at Xmas!

Son in law works at local hospital......checked once per week........both returned negative tests each time........so we felt ok having a couple of hours with them........I am more concerned in Asda shopping!.?

Are people wearing masks Clive?

Not really circulate, Pete. I don't think that's the cause. They succumbed to the political pressure of the restaurant industry and allowed restaurants and bars to work almost as normal during the christmas season. And announced it like it was a victory. There were mostly dutch and british cars arriving to Ericeira during christmas!

 

Back then opposition parties were criticizing that restaurants should work even more, and criticizing the lockdown during the end of year party, they were on lockdown and still allowing councils to have fireworks! Now they're criticizing that there should have been more lockdown, twats!

yeah in the fridge trailers 

I don't know, but animal covid has been a worry of the vets and meat industry for a long time, they're probably better used to sterilize that equipment than hospitals are to sterilizing morgues.
