Coronavirus outbreak

[marinyork]

So you've a responsibility not to kill your granny , stay in , go to work , call in the pub on the way home then a quick meal out.
Glad that's cleared that up.

I see people wearing masks, but people appear in much larger groups of 6 to 12 in pubs and restaurants and distance has gone out the window. I think this may be the cryptic bit about guidelines.

I don't think portions of the population have reduced their social contacts by 75%.

Skate park near me, recently opened (Newly built) must have 50+ kids in large groups. No face coverings etc.

Sports groups may be larger during the sport. Cycling UK now allowing 15s as long as you keep distance at starts/stops. I don't know what Skate England or whatever says.

Social gathering size, being looked at.

Junior football running as normal (outdoors of course). I'd guess the average match has ~50 people involved

How? Do they have a licence for it?

 

[icowden]

Easily. Why would they need a license? No-one has any idea what the rules are now. They are too broad and too complex. A significant number of people now think the rules are basically "wear masks in shops", and as long as you put something over your mouth, that'll do.

And the numbers are rising because they aren't doing that. .....lets hope they start now ...a new catchphrase should do the trick.

Wear a farking mask
Wash your farking hands
Keep your farking distance

Catchy.

I would also say the responsibility is on the pubs and restaurants more than young people.

With regards leaving contact details, there's some who seem to delight in giving false details. Names and numbers.

No idea, but this is proper FA league, so definitely approved.

Just had feedback from a Uni Colleague that's been in for face to face teaching. Feels very safe, Uni has it all addressed and they felt comfortable teaching, until you see the students sat about chatting without masks on (Nursing of all). As suspected, once out of the 'controlled spaces' it's a free for all. At least the staff are feeling safe and being kept safe.

OR "don't be like John"

John's behaviours are in the large range of normal. He isn't any different from MntnMan62 or the person on here who visited the pub which had a confirmed infection around the time they visited and didn't isolate. Or the person on here ranting about behaviour, but went on holiday! It's just John's more open and honest about his behaviours which gets him stick.

 

[matticus]

Well said.

I think a few of you just want John to sod off (or shut-up). That won't change his views, and it won't change the thousands like him, right-or-wrong.
Deal with it - he's being a lot nicer than many on here.

 

[matticus]

Its often the case when someone posts obnoxious, self centred posts that some will come on and say ' actually hes not so bad'

Then you'll have to deal with that, too!! :P
(n.b. I never said that I agree with him!)

I don't mind him having his say - but his views don't bear any kind of close scrutiny and is in general a paid up member of "the experts talk a load of bollox" brigade which is rife in today's society.

That's all good.

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

I think it's very possible to bring back a semblance of normality, but only with hand washing, masks and distancing. It's not the socialising that's causing problems, it's the ignoring basic precautions. I've eaten out in places where everybody acted like an adult and there were no issues.
