Coronavirus outbreak

[roubaixtuesday]

The Derbyshire Police superintendent said on the radio yesterday it is not his task to judge the correctness of the measure, but it is his task to ensure compliance with it.

This is bullshit though.

He chooses how to prioritise his resources.

He chose to target lone dog walkers.

He could have made many other choices.

Use quality outlets like M&S or Waitrose the aholes won't spend the extra so you get to shop in a relatively safe way.
The civilised know how to behave. Sadly the tracksuit brigade Don't

My wife got back from Waitrose a few minutes ago having done a "normal weekly shop" - 4 m spaced queue in carpark, 1 in 1 out, everything in stock except tinned toms. Took no longer than a normal shop

In these unsporting times, at last a solution:

If Derbyshire which includes Derby is anything like Sheffield, they are likely targeting the wrong places. It's reported in poorer bits of the city that there are outside gatherings of 10-20 children/adults and a lot of inter household mixing going on, sometimes for hours at a time.

National Police Chiefs’ Council reports fines for non compliance are beginning to be issued.

I'm not sure there's a plan at all, here or anywhere else, beyond "do whatever is needed to stop an appalling number of people dying in the next few weeks".

We'll see what comes next.

Yeah - I get the feeling that some degree of Herd immunity is factored in.
Problems will start if our deaths start to get worse than Italy or Spain.

The clapping event last night turned into a party between 3 houses in my street, going on until after midnight.
This morning four young lads met up with fishing rods and headed off together down the road.
The lad with learning difficulties continues to wander back and forward to the shop umpteen times a day, stopping to chat with anyone who'll let him.
There's more and more young people wandering about in ones and twos, not particularly going anywhere and the inevitable dirt bike has appeared with numerous different helmetless riders zooming all over the place.

My desk is by a window and I see it all passing me by.

I watched the window cleaner work his way along the houses, knocking on each door with his hand out. I put his money on an envelope on the window ledge - he took the money, screwed up the envelope and threw it behind a flower pot Now been told not to come back, even if he survives.

Big brother is here. How about they go round town and find all the groups?

Evidence welcome. Mine's spent months on the other side of the country.

30 years in the police, they usually are..........

For those living outside Sheffield this is next to a very posh area of the city.

Not over the poor areas is it?

Got to say that sounds damn snobby.
I like to think we are living in a society.
no idea which oufits are meant by "aholes".
Ever looked at the domestic history of WW2?
and the black market?
for some terribly terribly "civilised" folks rationing didn't exist.

I support this message.
