Corona Virus: How Are We Doing?

[Mugshot]

Indeed they do. It’s kinda understandable....

Kinda, but my thoughts on some of the reasons are for other threads.

Of course they need shut it down. You don't expect locals to stick to it do you?

As I said it is already shut down, the advice from the Scottish Government has been clear and concise from the start people have accepted that without the need for legislation. The locals are not the problem.

What's your view on language used? "unnecessary travel" which was what boris has said is problematic. Non-essential is a phrase government documents tend to prefer.

One of the bits the government advise on social distancing still refers to is the 'daily commute'. That needs to go quickly.

Trouble is ‘non-essential’ or ‘unnecessary travel’ are widely open to interpretation.
It’s not necessarily travel per se that is the issue, it’s the destination and contacts.
I can spend the wekend in the Moho, close to home and have no social contact. I can drive to the seafront to walk the dog after lunch among crowds, I can drive to the beach to watch the sun rise and there is nobody. Two are vey low/no risk, the other potentially high risk. It’s all travel and different to getting the tube or a bus for example to shop.

Better a full lockdown and movement restrictions as per other EU countries.

No, and for the situation in Scotland and other temote areas etc. I agree.

Absolutely and it'll come I'm sure of it.
Our local MP has been putting out messages for people not to come down here, not to use their holiday homes etc. You may be off work, but you're not on farking holiday, he didn't say the last bit, perhaps he should have.

I think clarity and simple unambiguous orders are what are now required. The public bought the ‘get Brexit done’ schitt...

Anyhow, as my breathing is now getting a bit laboured, my throat is becoming sore, and my fever prevaila I may have to travel to a hopital. In other news, the Whip was schitting blood this morning and has been rushed to the vet...essential travel eh :-/

I have just spoken to my brother in France on messenger and when I mentioned I was about to go for a ride after the call, he strongly advised me not to do it as the virus can be transmitted in the air as well, without anyone being there. That is why all cycling, running activities are now forbidden in France too. Even going in your own garden is not recommended either. In his case, him and his wife are just staying inside their house and only go out for essential provisions like milk and bread, but only one of them is allowed to do so.
So, should we stop cycling all together for the time being? I am inclined to follow their lead.

Everywhere I look, I see stupid people.

The kids playpark outside my front window - up to a dozen kids at a time playing whilst their mothers sit together chatting.
The alcoholic across the road had a party last night until the wee sma' hours - loads of folk coming and going, dancing around outside.
My next door neighbour, a frail old woman with a chest condition has had an open house policy all the time we've lived here and it hasn't changed. There's been dozens of people coming and going all week. Right now they're all sitting outside together celebrating Mother's Day. Her extended family from Northern Ireland were over to visit through the week.

A guy I used to work with in the prison service who I thought was reasonably intelligent has just posted this comment on his Facebook page! What hope is there 😢

The views of your brother conflict with the views of the medical authorities in the UK, are his views shared by the medics in France?
