......or don't offer deals which directly lead to places being overcrowded.....
….or use some simple common sense and don't delegate your safety to people like Michael O'Leary and the Greek Tourist board.

You don't need to be a genius FFS.

We've been out twice and sat in once for a coffee and cake and once to eat out on a very short break away.
Both it was clear as mud they'd done everything to make it safe including asking for face coverings to be used unless sat down eating. They'd also got the need for good ventilation spot on both also clearly displayed the risk assessments. Which having read them a lot of work had gone in going them. It was what we expected having used them before in the past. One's even paid to moved just for covid over the road to a bigger building so it can space everyone out with room to spare. Many placers still don't have a clue or don't care it's easy to spot and we keep walking. Sadly around here it's mostly avoid mode

As for the gym they let you suspended for a month that ran out this mouth have seen what they are doing and the lack of information when they closed. Staff are not the best anyway and i've seen how they clean.Many members pre covid never cared a jot can't see them wanting to wipe every thing down never mind keeping your distance. It was just too many things out of my control to feel safe so I've cancelled it.

Glasgow, East Renfrewshire and East Dunbartonshire now subject to enhanced control measures.

Apparently, it's the young team meeting up for house parties causing the issue, so this has been stopped along with enhanced self isolation protocols. Hospital and care home visits have also been curtailed but pubs allowed to remain open.

Hopefully they know what they are doing.

Exactly. Which is why I have not yet been into a cafe, restaurant, pub, or on any public transport. My gym opens today but I’m giving that a wide berth too, they’ve agreed to keep my membership suspended for a further 3 months.
Ditto. Also ditto for nearly all our friends and family in the 55 and upwards age group. I help out on a community group with over 40 members who are nearly all over 60 and have been trying to get their participation in outdoor activities. Hardly anyone wants to take part because they are still keeping themselves away from contact as far as possible.

I think it is one reason why hospital cases are low - enough people in vulnerable age groups are still isolating themselves to restrict transmission, with most cases falling in age groups where hospitalisation is a low risk. Whether that separation will last with the end of furlough and symptom-free children coming back from school and mixing with their grandparents is another matter.

Before lockdown Mrs R held exercise classes for people in care homes and community groups of older people. None of the care homes want a resumption yet and appear to be quite strict and effective in their controls.

I am well into the vunrable age group I don’t have any underlying medical conditions Up to this point I have only been into shops and Supermarkets when necessary The description about various premises being Covid 19 safe I don’t really understand.Can anywhere be truly safe

Common sense regarding the current situation appears to be in short supply within certain age groups.

I think the young have been brilliant and far from selfish.Lets be honest there the ones going to have to pay in the long run in all sorts of ways.
There's far too many mixed messages now.Its as if the whole country is having raves ! Go to any seaside town in the UK and you'll see zero social distancing.Went to the pub last night and there were a couple of betting slips to write your name and number on.Totally voluntary of course! The lock down ended for a lot of people a while ago and the rules are so complex who really gets them ?

That's the problem what public health message we did have be it a total mess has just all but gone. All we appear to get now is you must get a test and someone in a call centre. Will ask you to say home and who else do you think you've infected. Which is important for sure but by then it's too late. Even now unlike counties who get this have we had clear messaging on the basic's of transmission and what the risks are. It would save a lot of time and yet more economic trouble. No one sounds bothered about really pushing the numbers down and keeping them down. We've had plenty of time to push hard before winter but no it's all been go back to work , save pret and sod the NHS. Come winter something will have give and only time will tell if it go's the right way or not.

I'm no twitterer and I have no particular fondness for the LidlDems, but I can't find any trace of that screenshot post. It could be that he's implying that the ''Rik'' he's replying to cannot tell the difference between inhalation protection and exhalation protection. Or it could also be that he's a wazzock.
