just seen on Facebook that some of their staff have tested positive for covid 19 so they won't be opening untill Monday the 4th due to self isolating etc they said they would be dispatching orders ASAP after that date...thought I would mention it incase anyone isn't on Facebook and have place an order with them.

Yeah there's a note on their website. Hope the guys are all OK.
I do wonder if anglers are their own worst enemy with Covid - fished three carp waters in the last couple of weeks - witnessed zero social distancing, people handling gates/locks with no hand sanitising before or after - even people from different households sitting in each others bivvies and today there were at least two chaps on the lake who'd driven 70 miles to fish the water...

I guess it depends on the waters. One of my waters has bottles of disinfectant tied to each gate. It's not an option you are required to spray the locks and handles before and after use.
Another of my waters requires you to have a sanitiser, I've been asked by the bailiff to show him.
Both clubs have locked the clubhouses and discontinued freezer use. I think it's still the case that guest tickets are banned on all my waters.
I fished yesterday for the day and everyone who wandered into my swim for a chat kept socially distant. Given the current high numbers, if people are breaking to rules then they want their head looking at. I know at least six people who have it at the minute.

I tested positive on the 21st December after feeling unwell at work and today found out my mom is positive too she's 81 blind & deaf and still going round doing stuff she's a strong one.
Back to the fishing I always have carried a bottle or 2 of sanitizer around with me for years now especially cooking on bank all time with all the rats and other vermin about,for a small price to pay for a bottle it's nothing really is it to pop one or even the alcohol wipes in bag as well better to have than not at all.
And I'm still isolating at home bored and trying to keep busy and keep an eye on her too as I live with her.

Hope you both make a quick and full recovery. I've got one friend who's recently spent several days on oxygen before being discharged and my bridesmaids partner was discharged from hospital yesterday. Thankfully both seem to have turned the corner with it. It's a horrible illness for some. Fingers crossed for the Johnny Ross staff that they are young and fit enough to shake it off.
Saw this morning that as many as 22 million older or vulnerable people could be vaccinated by April. So let's all hope for a more normal summer.
I can't wait for the day when I turn on the news and the headline is “the uk recorded its first day without a single covid death today”

Thanks mate my fiancée was tested last week along with her 2 daughters who are 17 & 21,she also has to be extra careful as she comes under the bame groups and also her mom is bed bound and she does a lot of the caring for her even tho she has a big big family.
I agree it's a horrible disease and do many people have been less unfortunate even if they were for. & healthy too I just hope my mom comes through this basically unscathed,strange thing is my brother who I also live with his test was negative but I think we will get tested again towards end of the week he wants to go out and do some tiddler bashing me I just want to be out on the bank wether it's the canal or my local lake.

It is a strange one that, it happened to my mate. He and his mrs both tested positive but there 2 kids 11 and 17 tested negative, both recovered well with even showing any symptoms.
Just goes to show it effects us all differently

All the staff in my local pub have all gone done with it, mustve caught it just before lockdown/tier 4.
The PCR test for covid is inaccurate at best..hence why diffreing false and negative results...
How do I know this?
This is because I am a close friend of a individual who worked on setting up a testing station in the southwest,and still works at another covid point..in the southwest,...he ,has told me that his job is under threat if the public really knew how many false ,negatives and positives are recorded..
I am just passing this on,because as he told me ,the government take these figures to the stats centres...make of this what you will..
And don't shoot the messenger

A bit meaningless really other than to indicate lots of people have Covid. The accuracy of these tests likely pales into insignificance when you consider the likely numbers who have it who haven't been tested either with or without symptoms.

Exactly...
Very interesting,...like my friend told me ,question the figures that you are told....
I can only pass on what I have been told ,by someone who is at the test points,not the media....but someone there,seeing and engaging at first hand
..someone with no political agenda,other than ask a question, whilst remaining anonymous,...an individual, who is able to question,and evaluate..

Hope the JR lads come through this OK. Always had top class help/service when I've been in there
As for Govt Stats and figures,they really get my goat
Deaths within 28 days of a positive test....come off it...proves diddly. More testing means more results..pos or not. We only see one side of this. Need to see Pos Vs Neg results to see the real trend..Not disputing more are succuming.... its nothing but negativity and doom on the media.

Anyone doubting the figures just needs to go to a hospital, see how many people are in, and see how many staff are now contracting it that didn't first time around.
It doesn't seem as fatal this time around (they know how to treat it, and the “lowest hanging fruit” have already dies, but another lockdown is around the corner. Who's to blame?
The people that go round friends houses/refuse to wear masks........

Lately I feel like I'm the only one taking any precautions. Seems like social distancing, mask wearing, hand sanitising, not going into people's homes etc has gone out of the window for most. I wonder if people think there's no need to worry anymore as the vaccine is coming. But they should worry, we had a family friend die at 5 o'clock this evening.

I get the same feeling, I live in the south west (tier 2) my neighbour, her husband and her 3 children drove through the night on the 21st to London (tier 4) so they wouldn't get caught and see her sister for Xmas they then drove back down on the 23rd at about 2am again so they wouldn't get caught they did a 500mile round trip and never got caught but makes you think how seriously people are actually taking this because she keeps bragging about it like it's something to be proud of on social media

Only 377 people under the age of 60 without an underlying health condition have died from covid in englsnd, this figure is true and was taken from the
Nhs england website. You can Check it out on google.
What i dont understand is with all this shielding and lockdowns going on is how are all these old people and folk with underlying health conditions catching this virus?

And how many of those that have recovered now have chronic breathing problems, fatigue, etc?
How do they catch it? Care homes, plus all those people that go to the pub/mates house/whatever, then nip round their parents the next day for a few hours without a mask because they are “in their bubble”.......
Don't forget the “underlying health problem” could just mean they were overweight, or had asthma, were diabetic - not terminally ill.

I dont agree with the pub theory although it won't have helped, the virus started escalating in sept when the schools and colleges went back but i still dont understand how its getting into care homes when nobody apart from carers and doctors are allowed in them.

Perhaps because the carers have children at home?
And more likely because a huge percentage of people are just ignoring the rules and doing what they like anyway. Perfect example was yesterday when police stopped a mini bus of mixed households who had driven into Wales, that's been on lockdown for weeks. These people apparently had driven there to enjoy the snow.
And on the pub thing. I'm a tradesman in a small town, so I know a lot of the other tradesmen. I live near a pub with outdoor seating. Through sept when the weather was nice, every night I'd see the same vans in the car park and the same group of ten or so guys sitting at the tables, no social distancing. Now I know damn well that they don't all live in the same house and I know they ain't all working at the same place. So they are in ten houses one day, meet up that evening for a pint on the way home, then ten different houses the next day etc etc. It boiled my piss. Went on for weeks until it was too cold to sit outside. But I still saw the vans each night so they must have been inside until the pub was forced to close for tier 4.
You can set all the rules you like, but if people don't follow them short of putting the army on the streets there's not a lot more anyone can do to stop it spreading.

Early in the pandemic as so little was know there were instances of hospital patients leaving hospitals with covid and then spreading it back into the homes but this was stopped a long time ago when they realised what was happening.
Recently though this would not have happened and people that work in the care homes or visitors have spread it onto the homes.
Maybe if the workers/visitors had followed the guidance then they would not have caught it and then subsequently spread it into the homes and killed residents/family members.
The surge in Sept/Oct was probably down to uni's etc restarting term, schools had already been open for 2 months and there was no surge in cases when they opened. The facts showed that young adults had the highest numbers of Covid cases in all areas around the country in Sept/Oct, this was well covered in the press and was followed by students claiming to be the victims when they knowingly and deliberately ignored the rules as they wanted the Uni experience. They then spread this further into older age groups and the inevitable happened.
The simple fact is that if you follow the guidance all the time especially when your outside of your home then your unlikely to catch it but you have to follow it all the time not just when you remember/decide to follow it.
I have no doubt that hundreds of thousands and possibly millions of families decided to ignore the guidance over Xmas and will do so again over the new year and this will lead to a surge in numbers. The government keeps saying that people need to take responsibility for their actions but again this is being ignored by many. How many visitors, additional cars have you seen appearing in drives and visiting houses over Xmas, how many people disappeared over Xmas only to reappear a couple of days later... When these people then lose family members they have only themselves to blame but of course they'll deny this and play the victims.
Todays news of the Oxford Vaccine being approved cannot come soon enough and will be rolled out now ASAP.

Covidiots like the one's you mention deserve to be named and shamed in the local press, Social media and national press to set an example.
It's idiots like this that are keeping the Virus spreading and they are killing people as a result of their actions.

You can take all precautions that are possible it only takes a slip up somewhere and you have it,I travel to work via bus service I have sanitizer on off bus mask and even gloves ,then at work I am a key worker in food industry and do t have dinner same time as all others I sit away from people I keep my distance and yet I got it and still isolating.
My mom has it my brother was negative and I got it to all of us tested looks like he had a bad bout of flu but we are all ok just keeping an eye on mom for next few weeks hopefully she will be ok.
I will say Nhs 111 and track & trace have been great whenever we spoke to them,hope people who contact this all pull through as it's not pleasant at all.
