six and out

[Wellytrack]

My suspicion is there has been so much change in what we can and can’t do, particularly here in Scotland vs the rest of the UK (entirely political) that a lot of people, myself included, are fatigued and passed caring. Yes there is a risk you could pass it on to granny but the same risk goes for the flu and every other disease we’ve been living with for generations. We can’t keep going on like this for a disease which only has serious consequences for a very very small proportion of the population.

People should be allowed to make their own risk assessment and the reality is if you are healthy and under 50 the risk is very low. If you aren’t, you take steps to protect yourself.

My genuine fear is that governments risk crying wolf. So when a pandemic comes along which indiscriminately kills 20%, people will have lived through this and not take it seriously until it’s too late.

Maybe your happy to kill granny but I’m not.

Your also severely underestimating covid’s incubation period which is critical to its spread.

Apparently Johnson is going to override the Senedd and impose the 6 person rule from Westminster.
That will go down well this side of the dyke. Not.

Ffs he should have declared a State of Emergency right from the off but to bully in now stinks

People will just have to shoot clays for a bit, not the end of the world is it

Apart from the all the shoots that will go bust as they spent lot of money upfront.
We run a small shoot and no days shooting could put us in huge debt

Is gatherings of up to 6 the end of driven shooting this year?

Been pondering this while drilling today...

I will wait on the view of BASC.

Suffolk, Cardiff and Yorkshire have all have outbreaks in schools already.

Just wait for the Uni's as "Freshers Flu" takes on a new meaning.... Closed campus' will not be as much an issue as the City ones with students wandering all over the place.

Wonder how long before we see a rise in CV19 in the population around such campuses?

 

[steveR]

Please do have your 'flu jabs, good people. It doesn't matter how solitary we might feel our lives are, we owe it to ourselves to be protected against a potentially fatal illness that we do have effective vaccines for.

Waiting to be offered on as promised...

Is it worth paying for one??

Went to shop yesterday, fished mask out of pocket and applied, sanitised hands in the door, fupping ar$ehole of a middle aged woman in sweatpants steamed on through without taking any precautions or measures to prevent transmission.

I wanted to challenge her, and would have if not for the fact she practically trotted through the shop and was moving three times faster than me.

It’s annoying cuz if an absolute idiot like myself can be trained to do it anyone can. I’d forget things 20 times per day. It’s just laziness or inconsideration otherwise.

My brother was in a Tesco the other night in one of more deprived areas of Aberdeen. Torry.

Said hardly anyone wearing face coverings!

Myself and co Captain decided months ago we would have our birds, and if we we still had restrictions, the guns would be allowed to come over with a family member or two and have a rough shoot a time or two. Get some fresh air and work the dogs...

Let it run its course,we’ve to live with it.

 

[Pieces_of_Eight]

I’m not aware of a national governing body for shooting!!

That continues to be shooting's downfall.

 

[Bald Rick]

Let it run its course,we’ve to live with it.

It is just me or does anyone else think there is more to this virus than we are being told? Long Covid is a worry where symptoms persist for 3 months or more but maybe it eats your knackers too?

My take would be each gun must drive themselves, bring own food and drink and keep 2m apart...

 

[Suffolk Serf]

My take would be each gun must drive themselves, bring own food and drink and keep 2m apart...

Beaters too I presume.

 

[Ramrod]

My take would be each gun must drive themselves, bring own food and drink and keep 2m apart...

Self propelled beaters also?

 

[Suffolk Serf]

Self propelled beaters also?

Eight guns, a dozen beaters, two or three pickers up and a keeper or two, well over twenty vehicles!

 

[Pieces_of_Eight]

Eight guns, a dozen beaters, two or three pickers up and a keeper or two, well over twenty vehicles!

Only if they are all different households...

 

[Suffolk Serf]

Only if they are all different households...

I suppose all the beaters could shack up together for the season.

Waiting to be offered on as promised...

Is it worth paying for one??

I have paid for the last two years, because no longer eligible for a free one. It's only about £10 from a Pharmacist in any case, but I think all over 50s will be eligible for a free one this year.

 

[Vader]

Is a beaters wagon different from going on a bus or tube if they wear a mask?
