So maybe that's what the government have done then? If the virus is hitting the Asian communities because they are having big home gatherings, then the governments measures of keeping pubs open but restricting home gatherings make sense don't they?

As I say I can't comment on that front because I really don't have a clue other than discussion in here for example. If the theory is closer to home that these communities didn't follow strict guidelines in the first place then it won't make any difference anyway. But then I have no first hand knowledge of that and saw nothing in Liverpool suggesting that.

I'm more focused on the business aspect, that seems to be ignored now. Flare ups in business yet communities suffer? A city in lockdown because of a factory , other reported cases of factories and centres having cases for example shouldn't be ignored. Except it seems to be the case , people want to blame communities , visits to family etc rather than what is literally happening.

As it seems to be established now, you can work without measures in place , protest, celebrate a title win (media source determined) go the pub , go to big supermarkets etc but at some point we will all be told to stay away from family.

To me it doesn't make sense, especially given the fact there is evidence that is fact that flare ups are happening at pubs / factories etc rather than through people visiting each other (unless you follow the Asian thought process ).
 
We all knew cases would increase once we opened up - more so because idiots can't act responsibly.

Im out this weekend but we'll be having a few cocktails in a bar and maybe go one pub whereas you have bells going on pub crawls in the middle of a pandemic and clowns gathering like to celebrate Liverpools title win.

Until a vaccine is found this is the reality.
 
Unfortunately due to all the cock ups the government made at the start of all this, they are now damned if they don’t and damned if they do with every single decision they make.

Imagine the rightful outcry there would’ve been if they’d been aware of rising numbers in these areas and the advent of Eid and did nothing about it ?

The issue with supermarkets compared to homes is the sheer number of different people visiting that enclosed space. In a home, you have, say, five or six people where they could be coughing stuff out - in a supermarket you have hundreds, and the virus hangs in the air for quite some time.

I wouldn't say one is more of a risk than the other personally; I just think they present different risks. I think you're more likely to catch the virus at home if someone has it, but you're more likely to encounter someone who has it at a supermarket.

All coughing stuff out in Asda with masks on? I know where I feel safer personally.

"You're more likely to encounter someone who has it at a supermarket." - Based on nothing at all.
 
"Have you just cancelled summer Prime Minister?"

What an absolute bell, no need to write what rag he comes from. Utter idiots that write for idiots. Free press is a good thing generally but all of them that are like that should be shot onto Mars. How about let's back the decisions up to try and engage everyone to stay safe. Instead of this split narrative where everything is fine no need to worry.

Where are you most likely to come across it then?

Ignoring the numbers as I don't know how accurate they are this image shows why I, personally, feel safer walking round Asda for 20 minutes than I do at a house party for a few hours.

Isn't that implying that everyone is wearing a mask that is fit for purpose and not just a covering? Also wearing it just right on their face with the right fitting?

Yes the general concensus is right , wearing a mask will reduce it significantly compared to not wearing one. And having anything will reduce it further.

Was supposed to be there myself today, put off my tickets until next year.
The restrictions are daft. Limiting using toilets etc.

Anyway, I’ve gone and done the drive through test this morning, really surprised how busy it was.
