Coronavirus outbreak

[kingrollo]

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.

Yes so did I - Once - the next couple of times they had forgotten about it - both times somebody was seated right behind me - clearly breaching SD guidelines - leaving contact details wasn't bothered with - the final pub I went to had nothing in place at all - even the bar was run pre covid style.

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

Rugby is no where near starting again. It’s
just basic training with very little contact and no matches against opponents for the foreseeable future.
im not sure how football team are doing it
Parkrun hasn’t even started yet.

Given the praise in these parts for the NZ prime minister and her response to the Pandemic, this analysis of NZ politics from the Political Compass is interesting.

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.

If I wanted them to "sod off or shut up", I'd not have asked them questions, expecting answers.

And it's the "1,000's like him" that are dragging this out for the millions complying with the regulations in place.

We have people who seem to think that leaving false contact details is fun. Would they still think it was fun if they were to have been in close contact with someone who was later hospitalized with covid-19. False details given meant they couldn't be contacted.

Adding this bit
Found out earlier today that the person who I worked with has been told he works his last day this Friday. Along with a few more. Time with the company counts for nothing.

As far as he knows, it's down to him now being classed as "high risk". How fickle fate is.

@Beebo, just been announced that parkruns are to restart next month.

Really just "get on with it outdoors"

To be fair getting on with it outdoors surely has to be better than indoors ? Kids are back at school anyway,it would be foolish to think there actually going to socially distance.Once outside it's buisness as usual.

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

A pub near us has closed because the landlord has tested positive. The notice outside does not say why the premises is closed. The only news of this was on a local village Facebook page, where a number of posters were unhappy because he had been personally serving drinks and food to the table while waiting for his test results. A friend of mine has ended up self-isolating along with his family and student children.

Because of the critical posts, the entire topic has been deleted. There is nothing about the closure in the local press so anyone who signed in as Mr D Duck will have no way of knowing that they are at risk and soon possibly a risk to others.

Mind you, only a few of those who did sign in ok had been contacted by Track and Trace before the Facebook topic was deleted.

Maybe not quite business as usual but certainly lots more room to manoeuvre as other sports have proven. As usual, it's what you do before and after that can be troublesome, like changing rooms and the like.

That's curious but I see that's true. Something looking like it has been happening in its place in the town park for more then a month!

Has he ? - He strikes me a serious contender for obnoxious poster of the year.

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

I have not seen much to indicate to me that john behaves very irresponsibly. What he says is different to those others yes. How he behaves. Nope. His behaviours are in the large range of normal, with those theorised superspreaders making up 20% of infected and 80% of infecting others, out there somewhere. It's just a distraction.

Sorry I meant once our of school so to speak.I live close enough to a local high school and once out the gates it's a free for all

If you take higher risk activities like pubs, the thing with the whole contact tracing is there is no way of encouraging more responsible behaviours. Someone who is with 1 other person sat outside for 15 mins is treated the same as someone sat indoors on a table packed with 12 people for four hours. The pubs with staff none wearing masks are treated the same as those all in masks and visors at all times. Some pubs everyone is told to isolate, others like a bloke on here where there was a positive test was not told to.

Pubs & Restuarants in bolton only allowed to serve takeaway. and will close at 10PM.

A face saving way of closing them - think this will be pretty much all over the uk in a couple of months.

It is one thing I have wondered here. Many pubs are only open to 10pm anyway. However other places must be open as I hear drunks singing very loudly after midnight sometimes.

P.S. re: takeaway only in Bolton -The numbers in bolton are very high so a bit puzzled on that.

Why ??? its to stop people spending time indoor in a pub/restaurant - would seem a logical step to me.
