Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Barnfred 55]

Do you think GOT current affairs forum is broadly reflective of public opinion?

Thank God No.

Sorry. I'm supposed to be behaving myself

I'm just going to stick to my own rule and that is to not leave my house unless absolutely necessary, I'm still not going to see any family.

I don't agree with our government so i don't abide by their ideas, people can blame them all they want, but it's those who are thinking going to the beach to mingle with thousands of people is a good idea, just because it's now allowed who are making sure this virus isn't going away. It's like nobody can think for themselves anymore.

Thats exactly what I do. And will continue to do so until this is gone.

Interesting that the PM thinks the 5 tests are being met nationally....it's definitely not being met regionally.

They may think they have, but they havnt.

They've at least ridden the initial wave. Personally, I can't see him being ousted now and if cases do really raise then they'll paint it as part of the wider relaxation.

The tests have been met because they want them to be met. Was there any real chance that they wouldn't?

I mean this 6-people meet thing is great, can see my family in the garden now, but I mean... let's face it this has just completely ended lockdown now. There will be garden parties, house parties, no one is gonna remember to disinfect every time they go for a piss in someone elses house etc.

Do you think the British public are all just complete morons ?

 

[Billy Dean]

Do you have to piss in the garden bushes too?

This is proving a problem in my social life at the moment. Basically as soon as someone needs a piss they have to go home and the night's essentially over

The problem is that it doesn't have to be all - just enough.

 

[Billy Dean]

Just realised I should probably have had a shower after going the barbers earlier today. I've been sat around all day in whatever germs I picked up there

I'm not really sure what the alternative is.

We cannot stay in lockdown for infinity.

Allowing six people to meet up outdoors while socially distancing is relatively low risk according to the science.

Did I say all?

You said lockdown has completely ended as a result of allowing people to meet outdoors in groups of six, which would sort of imply the public aren't capable of knowing the difference between that and having a massive naked rave in a downstairs bathroom.

Allowing six people to meet up in a park while socially distancing is relatively low risk according to the science.

I reckon if I phoned up 5 mates and said do you want to come the park with me, they would most likely suggest I should be sectioned.

It will be stuck to by the vast majority of normal sensible people mate and abused by a small minority of scum bags - just like everything else.

To be honest I wouldn't feel comfortable with it either, and I genuinely think the majority of people feel the same way.

I might go and meet one or two people next weekend, but I would feel awkward with any more than that.

If you've got a couple of siblings and two parents however it will be good for those groups to be able to meet at once if they want to.

Well unless you live in some sort of utopia or have a TV made of cardboard cut-outs you might just have noticed lots of people have been doing all of that stuff when told they can only meet 1 person. When told they can meet 6? It's hardly going to get any better during beer garden weather.
