Welcome back Wayne
Some murderer I expect.....
There`s not enough Old Bill to enforce it and they scalls know it.
That's the thing though. If there is a spike in cases in the next couple of weeks then I blame the people sat out in the street who've had visitors all weekend. But you can be sure everyone will try to blame everything and everyone else they can.
Lack of personal responsibility in modern society, but that's a whole other debate....
Anfield myself - although it seems to be the punters and bevvy-heads that are doing most of the congregating this end.
There was a load of them stood over the road earlier just standing in a circle shouting at each other, as that bunch tend to do.

A problem with the publishing of the daily death count I guess, now it's going down people think the work is done.
They should publish an infection count if that's at all possible.
Same by us, the car drives through Calderstones, stops and chats to people and drives on.
I don`t think the Old Bill in Liverpool have got the appetite to pull people up on it any more.

Well I hope you don't catch it.
It can be a very serious illness, as we have seen can be fatal and if not fatal can leave patients " respitory cripples" for a long time.
Not scaremongering, just passing on comments from a relative - he's a hospital doctor.

Yes it can but its important not to make it out as worse than it is too. My brother who is a consultant is pretty frustrated at the way resources have been allocated in hospitals atm.
It's easy to lose sight of just how dangerous this virus is, it kills people but not the vast majority of people who get it. Although it can kill anyone it is the elderly and those with serious underlying conditions - including grossly overweight, where it's most virulent. With the vast majority, while extremely unpleasant and nasty, it isn't particularly that dangerous, it isn't a massive stroke, serious heart disease or cancer, it just isn't.
The very natural obsessing over what are still horrible daily deaths can make you think it is worse than possibly anything you can catch - it just isn't.
The health service has put far too much emphasis on this virus and far more serious conditions have not been given the emphasis they should - it has to be put in perspective as cancer referrals not being attended are getting out of hand. The Nightingale hospitals have become white elephants.
A serious rebalancing towards treating far more serious conditions has to happen, there is a lot of spare capacity wasted as it's being put aside for a condition, fatal though it still can be, is not as serious.
I think the media are largely to blame too. We had tabloids the other day with utterly sensationalist stories about everything being lifted for for the bank holiday and saying we could go sunbathing and the like.
People say there's been mixed messaging, but if the media print something different every day and are obsessed with being ahead of announcements, is it any wonder people are confused.
The coverage of this from the media has been dreadful imo. And that's been across the board, both pro and anti government sources.
I’m paraphrasing but I think it was Whitty himself , certainly one of the experts, that lockdowns had a limited time span and ultimately a certain percentage of the public would only comply for a certain period. From what a lot of us can see It seems we’re reaching that point , I’m not justifying the lack of compliance I’m just commenting on behaviour .
The question , which ive mentioned before , is whether the late imposition and attached caveats to those that were applied mean we wasted the chance we had. Ultimately only time will tell.
I wouldn't say appetite is the word or at least not the rank and file.
TRANSITION PERIOD TILL WE LEAVE....interpret it anyway you want we are still joined to them till an agreement can be reached.....
