Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Wait for the pictures tomorrow from the trains/buses/city centre streets. I expect it to be chaotic.

Plus the late May bank holiday is going to be fun now that people can spend as much time as they want exercising, having picnics and playing sport with people "from their household". Also allowed to travel too - it will look like the virus didnt exist.

it you’re ambiguous in your instructions the lack of clarity lays at the door of those In Charge . Plenty of us will sneer and judge people for breaking the guidelines but frankly I watched him and I’ve no idea what the PM was talking about then so I suspect the large portions of the population who get their information from headlines rather than articles and Facebook are going to find it pretty confusing.

In my opinion the buck stops with those in authority.

“ other destinations “ is very ambiguous ?

That is the worst bit of a bad lot, I thought - you could have heard that and thought "I'll get in my car and go to the Lake District / Snowdonia / the North Yorks Moors for a walk" this week, and you'll be entirely shocked when you get back to your car and find the locals have trashed it.

I know. Just not sure what else you would do in a car, but go to another destination lol

It really is. I mean I could drive up to West Kirby for my "exercise" which is about a 6 mile drive away for me so not too bad but I could also go the Lake District and sit off on Windemere if I wanted to by the looks of it which of course would be utter madness...

Not that I ever go out like...

This what I’m thinking.

If I wanted to drive to Snowdonia to go mountain running /cycle or for a walk, I’m now allowed to - “ other destination “

So, what are the fines for?

Essentially I can go out my house all day and night and as long as I'm 2m apart then no problem. I can sit in the park all day etc.

So at what point do I get fined?

Can I go and visit others or is that not allowed still?

Phoned home this evening to chat the lockdown.
On the Wirral, out of just over 600 clients, 190 now died in the care sector operated by step mums company.
Absolutely incredible numbers.. and clearly having an effect on those looking after them.
( all old with underlying conditions to be precise )

Even if they see you, they'll never catch you. It'll be like a bad Benny Hill sketch.

Confused. So if we reduced the R factor to the current level by lockdown, we surely can’t get to the next level by more social contact (without significant levels of immunity). More social contact mean R factor goes up!

 

[Brennan]

Don't read it then...easy

Thanks.

It's in keeping with the virus then.

Great...

That's what happens when hundreds of people are dying of a virus everyday.

Hundreds of people dying forces posters on here to moan religiously day and night and diligently criticise literally everything the government does ? No, not really.

 

[DrEFC]

Was that stage 3?

Honestly, don't know. Think so? lol

Can't come to Wales unless you want a fine, it's very clear from Senedd Cymru.

Welsh Government tells people in England don't travel here for exercise

The clarification was made after Boris Johnson's speech

So, will the barbers be opening up this week? I need my beard groomed.
