ariotofmyown Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 2 hours ago, SchtivePesley said: Test results supposed to be sent within 48 hours. After 48 hours I'd heard nothing so I rang the helpline. They said they can only escalate a test result after 72 hours 72 hours now passed now so rang again. They said the test was definitely registered, but don't know why results haven't arrived. They've now sent an escalation but the lab team won't see it till tomorrow (Monday). Then I have to wait ANOTHER 48 hours for them to find it and process the text/email. If I've not heard after that, then it means they have lost the results. But they won't contact me to tell me that. No news in 48 hours means I won't be getting a result And I won't be eligible for another test as it will be 5 days past the first test What an absolute joke World beating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to ensure that there was an empty row of seats between people. Gave up after the 3rd attempt when yet another person chose the seat Infront of me instead if the 4 or 5 others available. Might be misunderstanding you here but why would anyone sitting with their back to you pose any risk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1of4 Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 With more local lockdowns being implemented. Will Johnson's Wack-a-mole policy of dealing with a local increase in the amount of new coronavirus cases, actually work in stopping a second wave nationally. Will it be a case of local lockdowns happening around the country, even being repeated in some areas, until an effective vaccine is developed.

Surely if we can control it that way, it has to be better than another national shut down & god knows what economic damage that has come with it.

It's been said a few times, but it really is down to density - and by crikey, some people seem to be terminally dense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been reported today that the government are considering locking up the 'extremely vulnerable' again. Wear a mask, you bar stewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which must be a good thing, as it means kids will be more clear headed when they turn up for lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sensible approach in my opinion, wish we had followed them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWC1983 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Aberdeen pubs and cafes to close for a week initially at 5pm tonight due to 54 cases over the last couple of days. Track and trace have followed the footsteps of various carriers at the weekend and got people that were in the pubs they visited to get tested. Around 10 pubs had already closed yesterday as the numbers began to escalate. Its not rocket science really, Aberdeen v Rangers on the tv at 1230pm, all the pubs packed, then people carry on for an all dayer. 1 person carrying the virus is going to potentially visit 10 pubs in the day. A lot of the city centre pubs dont have outside space, so add in poor ventilation, booze and a blaze attitude and its no wonder its spread so quick. @Inverurie Ram better get ready for an invasion of toonsers at the weekend. Any decent publican will hike their prices up........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's without mentioning the flocking to beaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Mash Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 While shopping today noticed that nearly everyone of teen/early 20s age range didn't bother with a mask in shops/on the bus etc. Most Also noticed that one of aforementioned youthful mask avoiders was stockpiling cleaning products, medicines, pain killers, bog roll etc...!
