There's always hope...

But no guarantees

Fingers crossed. First Q not looking too hopeful.

Cant wait!

Best wishes

A good example of not having a fucking clue

when announcing sporting restrictions...

TENNIS - you stand at opposite ends of the court FFS

(way over 2m apart)

But professionals can play - Djokovic lost yesterday in London

yet you peasants may not

Open up airsoft, we already know what MED means

it just means no meelee kills coz we can't get too close

(and keep your distance from any leper team-mates)

I think I've come to point where I've largely accepted it'll be that sort of time till I get to play next, at the earliest. Granted that's partly down to being up North wheere things seem to be consistently worse 'tier' wise, and also because a majority of the sites up here seem to be indoor CQB (truth be told, unless there are a bunch of hidden ones I'm not aware of, choices up here are pretty slim full stop).

Just trying to figure out what to do kit wise. I've got a decent amount of money tied up in arisoft kit... some of which I picked up recently as last week. But I am currently contemplating selling all of my RIFs bar 1 'primary' and a pistol just until we get a clearer picture of the overall landscape. It's a weird time, and as much as I love the hobby there have certainly been some point across this year where I've contemplated just selling up and moving on full stop. Decisions, decisions.

No, it'll have to come back outdoors from 2nd December or many airsoft sites/businesses will cease to exist.  CQB in tier 3 areas may be hit harder, especially if you consider high ground rents for the indoor sites, nevermind all the other overheads.

They can't/won't keep bars and pubs shut, so the airsoft industry won't be fobbed off without a legal challenge, in my view.

Thats amazing! Dept and ProjectX ain't goign to know what's hit it lol. Defo need to get yourself a HPA setup with Glock>M4 mag conversion for some primary AAP memes

if he does then he is a bigger fucking idiot than I thought possible

lock everything down, so NOBODY goes out

(except to shop & key workers etc...)

nurseries, schools, universities still open, but kids mixing with a 1,000 others won't spread & bring back the virus ???

if NOBODY goes to the pub, eat out etc...

then wtf is the point of track n trace

no notifications = no need to get tested

nobody testing - cases drop drastically

hooray - it has all been a success

until next time

The Lurgy Lockdown - 3rd/4th wave etc...

COVID-19 doesn't really kill you as such

instead it is mostly PNEUMONIA caused by influenza, cold/rhino-virus and now COVID-19

You get an infection/inflamation in your lungs as they fill up with fluid/puss - and that is what causes most of the deaths - pneumonia

But write down COVID-19

Did you know that the When the BBC said COVID-19 is THREE times more deadly than the flu - they used a graph that displayed a higher death rate in 1992~2000 for influenza

So they quickly pulled it and replaced it with one for just 2020

Now there was 2 x 8 year periods where in 1975~1983 it reached 63,000 deaths pa for influenza/pneumonia

& also 60,000 pa for 1992~2000

The last serious outbreak lead to the influenza vaccine programe being rolled out after 2000

What they are doing is comparing influenza, which we have had started to develop vaccines since 1930, a virus we have a range of vaccines for various strains of flu - comparing it to a new virus we don't have a vaccine for

So comparing the flu TODAY where 14m get the vaccine, to COVID-19 with NO VACCINE is like comparing apples to oranges

Plus in 1992~2000 the UK had a much lower population so that 60k would equate to 70,000 deaths today

But here is the rub...

Does ANYBODY remember the lockdown, masks & crazy wash wash washing your hands during those 16 years in 1975~1983 & also 1992~2000

coz I fucking don't remember any of it at all

(was on another device earlier but here's some pics)

1) original graph BBC quickly pulled showing outbreak in 90's

(ooops quick change it)

2) the one they quickly replaced it with showing just 2020

3) google showing both were used

4) history of large flu/pneumonia pandemic in 1992~2000

(when the flu vaccine then was rolled out in 2000 onwards)

5) the pandemic in 1975~1983

and for reference the Spanish Flu in 1918

Point being when we had a large pandemic twice for 8 years during 75~83 & 92~2000...

Does anybody remember masks & lock downs back then

coz I bloody don't

2nd of December it is then .........
