Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Curious to know who told you that - was it something you read on FB or a real person with knowledge/evidence?

Someone in work, for the life of me I can't remember where she learned about it.

Who is supposed to be enforcing these new lockdown measures around Manchester? They're just going to be widely ignored.

Mate everything is racist , even talking about it offends someone.

I was told that down in places with high communities of Asian communities were flouting lockdown anyway for their own religious stuff , cricket etc all along

I have no idea if that's true , certainly haven't seen any Asian cricket matches in Liverpool. But if there is a chance it is true, people probably didn't say anything in fear of being called racist.

I don’t think anyone is offended.

However, if you seek to blame a minority group for something then be prepared to face accusations of racism.

Funny how people can come on here and say how they don’t agree with the rules and will actively flaunt them but are suddenly wanting to point the finger at a certain group of people when it comes to a second lockdown.

There probably was a lot of breaking of the rules amongst the Muslim community, just like there probably was in every community. To point the finger of blame at one set of people is abhorrent though. Unless that finger of blame is pointed towards the conservative government.

Probably best to ignore it then.

Some fella in work told me we were signing Gareth Bale the other day.

I find it particular sad when medical professionals are affected by this virus. They need better protection. They are doctors not soldiers. They didn’t sign up for this. They shouldn’t have to put their lives on the line.

2020 has been strange to say the least

So only one family unit in these establishments at a time?

If you don't know it's true, maybe take less joy in your anecdotal crap that will spread prejudice.

Wait? Is this news real? Is this really what the government is saying?

So people in the greater Manchester area can not go to someone else's house, but they can;

• Go to the pub
• Go to a large supermarket
• Go to a restaurant
• Queue up for shops

Apart from the obvious wtf because that clearly doesn't make sense anymore. It also says

• Two households cannot for example go the pub together

So how do you get anyone in the pub because the minute you have more than one person in there it's two households?!

Things are getting more and more ridiculous now. Literally, go and get plastered , shop all you want with hundreds of others , fine dine etc. But absolutely not go to someone's house.

Jesus this is getting embarrassing.

It’s really quite simple:

Restaurants/pubs/shops = social distancing happens.

Inside someone’s house? Not so much.

You ignore scientific evidence but believe something Sally from work tells you. Makes sense I guess.

Is that an assumption? Because the pubs gardens and marquee I've been in when a few jars have been necked social distancing does not exist!

Well obviously not all pub patrons adhere and not all people in private don’t adhere. Just based on what I’ve seen. You’re more likely to get bollocked flaunting the rules whilst having a meal than by your auntie in the garden.
