Not convinced by this one tbh lads.

You can sod of with that. It has been worse than ever here, like my street has been infested with scooter riding spider monkeys in spiderman costumes.

I know mate , well I hoped I knew .

To me the government policy on this whole situation feels like someone getting their mistress pregnant and resolving it by just not telling their missus . It’ll work for a little bit but sooner or later they need to come up with another plan .

Well what you do is Ow.........didn’t see her behind me

In all honesty that is possibly one of the lamest things I have ever seen and I've supported the blues for 45 years...

Huge student gaff over the road from me was closed down by the uni 3 weeks ago. Today a gang of 20 somethings have turned up with bicycles, loads of bog rolls, some smartly dressed some not and have being going in and out of the houses all day and sitting off together on the picnic tables. No masks. Weird.

Interesting thread, worth reading for full context and limitations. Still need to see the results of larger randomized trials to draw definitive conclusions.

Will we be asked to give them a clap at some point too?

(I will happily let you nod that one in)

Bet they are calling us 'sheeple' for staying indoors...

Then we are all screwed. That’s why this lockdown is vital at the moment. I can’t believe people are moaning already because they are bored.

A minority of the country won't believe this is serious (and therefore worthy of their attention) until they or a loved one of theirs gets it, unfortunately.

You'd think 700 people including a 5 year old dying in a day would provoke anyone with a brain to moderate their behaviour, but apparently not.

Was out for my run earlier

Streets and roads noticeably busier. Whole families out and about and people letting their dogs run loose.

I always worried that the first hint of decent weather would spoil some of the good work.

Was the same down here - Grosvenor Road was busier than it usually is on a Saturday afternoon, though only saw a couple of idiots lounging about in the little park.

Load of cyclists though, including 30-odd in a group.

Not just health systems.
What happens to society when folks that keep water, sewer, electricity, and the internet running are too ill or depleted to keep it all working?

The vast majority of people will have no or mild symptoms, so the domesday scenario is hardly likely

I think we should clap for the lads who are not going to the pub....

A group of that many is just ridiculous. They all deserve a fine.

I've been going out a run 3 days a week and to the shop once or twice a week. It's not fun but it has to be done. I only go by myself and I try everything to avoid coming within 6 yards of others nevermind 6 feet. Most of my running is on the road to avoid pedestrians!

It annoys me seeing groups of 5 or 6 walking about, especially those who let their dogs run loose. How can you socially distance when you let your dogs run off towards other people and other dogs!! Its starting to wind me up a bit.

I think next weekend will be a problem because people have certain routines they do over the Easter holidays and certain things they do every year and people dont like change.

A cheer for not going on the beer

I don't think it's that at all. Pretty much everyone excepts lockdown is needed right now. It's also perfectly fair and valid to say it is not a long term solution.
