Police aren't generally stopping vans, just cars and motorbikes as most likely whave people abusing the new rules.

The thing about 'generally' is, that might be a location location location thing.

@gadgetman

Where are the reports of more fuel tanks being drilled, and in what 'general area' is this or is it 4 nations wide ?

Was on one of the local forces twitter feeds along with van break ins and catalytic converter thefts over the last few days. 

 

Country may have stopped, but seems crime hasn't

The UK has always been a dodgy place. 

The thing is now that dodgy geezers stand out like a sore thumb, and there must surely be more nosy neighbours around, and people looking out of windows, 

and police out and about.

Millions of 'White Vans' trucking about as well.   No excuse needed for Police to be stopping them, and saying 'hello hello hello', what do we have going on here.

 

@shyVRS245

Have you finally been tested to show you had Coronavirus and also the Montomery Driver has.

You should know if you follow the news they only test people in Hospital. I saw him every day from 17th-21st February and he fell ill on Saturday 22nd February. I fell ill on Thursday 27th February. So many doubting Thomas's on here. He confirmed you only get the fever at night if you're unlucky enough to catch it. I won't ask you to prove it, you'll be too ill to care.

[J.R.]

Are you on dayshifts now?

HRH Charlie is our Darling, was not in hospital and tests a week ago as positive and is now out of isolation.

Boris, Matt, Alister & Dominic are not in Hospital to my knowledge.

Actually i do wonder if in 30 years we will find that Boris had a cold and just fancied some duvet days.

Unlikely any of the above would form an orderly queue in a Hospital for 4 hours to get tested. Special rules for Special ones like Charles flying to his holiday home in another country while infected.

@shyVRS245

Only idiots go to form orderly queues at Hospitals or visits the doctors with suspected Coronavirus.

People are tending to go to the drive through testing after calling 111 and being advised to.

Unlike you, he at least self isolated. You deliberately ignored all the advice both here and public heakth advice and went out back to work joking how you would infect someone else iirc. Never mind your wife might have subsequently been a carrier too as a social worker, requiring 14 days isolation.

Congratulations, you did Covid-19 a big favour, and are probably responsible for at least one death looking at statistics, maybe many more.

Never mind, keep bigging yourself up.

And dishing out the sick jokes (top trumps) comparing this to some sort of sports tournament.

Just found out who infected me in February. Montgomery driver asked me whether anyone had caught it here and when I said I had it at the end of February he said he must have given it to me because he caught it off another Montgomery driver who had shared his lorry. The original Montgomery driver also infected his Uncle who sadly died from it.

Odd. At the beginning of the topic you were trying to blame it on an Italian driver.

Okay that's enough now.

I'm researching a little as I want to know ...........if a person becomes immune to a virus, can they still carry it, and therefore still pass it on.

 

Still looking, but an interesting read. Sorry if already linked elsehere.

WHO advice was and remains 'Test, test, test'.

We'll have to wait and see if this is in the media so I don't agree with the words at this time.

 

[Tilt]

I'm also looking into if pets can be carriers...........at present, there is no evidence, however it is still unknown

 

Thinking along the lines that it is thought to have originated in bats then passed to animals of some kind, and then to humans.............begs the question.

 

If any above info is incorrect https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52006988

Surely that is just the Home Delivery Carry Out meal preparation team for Boris arranged between his father and some contact of his in the Chinese Embassy.

Walked to the local Sainsbury's today to get some food, I reckon 9 out of 10 of the vehicles we saw moving were white vans - still working?

Home delivery couriers still delivering to homes all over the UK. They only stop if people stop placing online orders (unlikely).

Could feel the boot going in despite not seeing the comments.

In Scotland, Shop Keepers and suppliers, Window Cleaners, Gardeners, Mechanics, Roofers, Joiners, Brickies, Fuel Station and EV Charging Point installers and maintenance,  car washers / valeters, odd jobbers, essential road workers, mechanics, scrappers, generally anyone knocking about in a van that sounds plausible to anyone asking them.

So that can include house breakers, car thieves / fuel thieves etc etc.

Apparently there's some confusion over what's classed as 'essential' and Police and Councils being a bit over zealous.

Alternating between both cars at the moment to keep batteries topped up. Longer I leave it the cheaper the refill will be. Don't live in a dodgy area like Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham or London.

 

That's rather insulting don't you think....

[Ootohere]

Everyday the Chief Medical Officer in Scotland Dr Catherine Calderwood appears she explains the difference between the extra Hospital Facilities they are building and what a Field Hospital is.

It is clear enough that using the Military and others does not a 'Field Hospital' make them.

Only the BBC , STV and other media / journalists seem to not understand the difference even though told in plain English.
