GOOD morning my mighty Macclesfie­ld readers how are you today?

Remember a few weeks ago we discussed the Covid policy in bars of not allowing waiters to place your glass of wine on your table but can lift and remove it when empty.

I asked several waiters if they could explain this contradict­ion to me.

Not one of them could, merely saying they were doing as instructed by management.

Since then I’ve noticed dozens of equally inexplicab­le Covid policies for which there appears to be no logic whatsoever.

It sounds like all nightclubs will be compelled to ask revellers to show proof of having had both vaccines before entering.

While NHS hospitals will continue to employ unvaccinat­ed staff on their wards.

So you will not be able to enter a club unvaccinat­ed but you will be able to work on a hospital ward. As my American friends say…go figure.

Earlier this week I found myself waiting to be served in a pharmacy and noticed a sign saying ‘Covid Test for those with no symptoms.’

I asked a member of staff why the Test could not be used on everyone to which she replied, “It only works if you haven’t got it.”

‘So…won’t all the Tests be negative then? I asked.

“No, because you might have it.”

“And then what?”

“You will Test positive.” ‘But if I think I might have it can I take the test?”

“No.”

“Why not?”

“It might say you don’t have it when you do.”

“So…I need to be absolutely sure I haven’t got it for the Test to show I have?”

“Yes, otherwise result is not reliable.”

If you come across any of these unfathomab­le Covid edicts do let me know. the
