Leading scientists have said that in two weeks time the UK will still be seeing hundreds of new COVID cases per day and continued levels of deaths as is seen now and have pushed for the Government to take firm action now to stop it getting worse before the Winter. NHS bosses have now become highly concerned that the Second Wave is imminent with the scientists having the simple response of the lockdown is too heavily removed.

Whilst Pizza Hut Restaurants look to be next to make deep cuts in stores and staffing in order to survive

Got to be honest here guys, as someone from outside the UK, having Hancock point to Europe and warn about a second wave when the UK has the highest death rate in Europe isn't a great look.

Domino's to fall next......sorry.

[Hirst]

I'm always amazed that people bother going to Pizza Hut or Domino's when I can drive down to the place I get them from and pay £13 for three 12-inch ones with any topping I want (used to be a tenner until a few years back). And then Sainsburys started doing that thing where they'll warm one of their in-store pizzas up for a quid, which I thought would further seal their fate.

Never underestimate people’s laziness.

It's quite the distraction from the 3 passenger loads of 737 Max hitting the Covid Mountain each week.

Daily infections on the 7 day moving average are on the rise too.

I doesn't make that much economically when you factor in the 5 hour drive from my house your local Pizza place.

You're being ridiculous.

Can't you get something delivered through Prime?

I'm currently enjoying Annunziata Rhys-Mogg telling poor people the importance of being able to cook.

This is a couple of days after claiming she had a McDonald's.
Weird how she can "wolf down" processed food, but the peasants should be making their own gruel.

I asked Alexa to have a McDonald's delivered and she had 2 tonne of tarmac sent to me.

To be fair the tarmac would taste better.

[kryss]

To be fair the tarmac would taste better.

But the McDonald's would stay fresh longer.

The junk food movement, though well intentioned, is doomed. It is more expensive to eat healthy no matter how the toff Tories like to pretend otherwise and they stand no chance at trying to make life any less convenient and less enjoyable for poorer families at a time like now. When you factor in all the other factors at play the move is doomed from the off.

And a new local Lockdown has been issued over Greater Manchester and is effective from midnight. From here on households are no longer allowed visitors in their homes or gardens, you must stay in your household bubble... but can go to the pub still... and that's it.

It's been a hot minute since things opened up and to need to even begin something like this so quickly shows what an utter farce lifting the lockdown was. These new measures won't do jack either, firstly it's more likely household A caught it away from home than they did from household B in the first place and secondly, and this one is the real truth of the matter, no-one is going to pay a blind bit of attention to this new rule. It's so half arsed and was the first thing abandoned back when the Government backed Cummings and lost all semblance of control over the lockdown.

That tide line continues to pull out further.

And on top of that a new study suggests that whilst children may be more safe from the effects of the virus it may actually be true that they are high risk carriers of the virus and that come September when schools reopen we're going to see trouble arise.

Yeah, I hate seeing those same, tired arguments.

Yes, you can buy wholesome foods for a cheap price; junk food is not inherently cheaper at the till. But you've got to prepare it, and it goes off quickly, whereas junk food is generally either immediately edible or it keeps, due to being dried/filled with preservatives - and poor people often don't have the time to carefully work out their meals and spend time making them.
