Coronavirus outbreak

[Rocky]

It is but it's other people moaning about the choice that I'm making is the issue here.

I'm choosing to follow the current rules yet some people are firing comments off like 'blocking hospital beds' or 'swanning around as they please' that gets up my nose.

Good luck to you.

Presumably the Health Foundation gets up your nose too……

You can put as many links up as you like, the rules are what I'll be following and come tomorrow so will a lot of other people so you need to get used to it.

Huffing and puffing and getting all self righteous will achieve nothing.

I don't understand why people are so annoyed about my choice to swing a baseball bat at head height in a crowded area
The government have said it's fine
Some of you may get cracked skulls but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make

We've heard all the crap analogies already, from baseball bat swinging to getting pi**ed on in Asda!

Keep away from anywhere you think people are going to hit you with a bat or P**s on you!

From what you've said in the past you hardly mix and work from home so what extra risk will you be encountering from tomorrow may I ask?

I firmly believe there are certain restrictions which should never be removed, as long as C-19 is a danger to more than the most minute fraction of folk in our communities. One of those restrictions should, IMO, be masking - as 'normal' masking serves not to protect the wearer but to protect others. Many others.

I really am confused about what you'll be doing. The government rules remain the same. The law (regulations) are being repealed. You are being trusted to follow the rules voluntarily but you've said both that you'll be binning your mask and that you'll be making no change whatsoever, which can't both be true if you were following the rules so far.

Philip Pullman posted online this morning that the reason Doris is lifting restrictions tomorrow against all scientific evidence is to put such pressure on the NHS it collapses and who's that in the wings waiting to rush to the rescue?

What don't you understand?

Unless I'm mistaken from tomorrow masks no longer need to be worn in most places, so I won't be, whereas today I would need to wear one?

Have I got this wrong then?

If I have then WTF is everyone moaning about?

They do need to be worn, just no legal requirement.

It depends if you think that a lack of a law means you have no obligation to do something. Theres no law to stop me pulling items out of a fellow shopper’s trolley, laughing in their face, farting and walking off. I won’t though. But no law to stop me.

Help us out here? Is Pullman a health management professional? Has he a (dark) material interest?
The government is taking many factors into account and all the modelling suggests, within reasonable levels of certainty, that our NHS will cope. (See my posts above and https://assets.publishing.service.g...and_Sensitivity_Step_4.2__6_July_2021__1_.pdf)

So if they NEED to be worn why has the legal requirement to wear them been removed?

Speaking to the gaffer of our local and from tomorrow table service stops, mask wearing stops, table limits stop and the one way system stops so whatever terminology you want to use restrictions are being removed.

Luckily no-one on here will be going so not an issue for you.

I know you love to split hairs, and I'm happy to play along, I will be following the LEGAL requirement (as I'm led to believe) and not wearing a mask from Tomorrow.

I hope this addresses your confusion adequately 🥱

Which way did you come in?

 

[Ajax Bay]

All good then.

Test 3: Infection rates do not risk a surge in hospitalisations which would put unsustainable pressure on the NHS aka "cope"

Johnson seems as capable of sensible judgment as the England football fan who stuck a red flare up his behind.
