trolling everyone now

The girl who sits next to my missus in work has been off work all week, she has just tested positive for the Rona.

This thing keeps messing with me, I tell ya.

trolling everyone now

Haha, same as a pub no?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Looks like they’re adopting the “ let’s just get on with it approach “

Or is a cunning plan to lull the public into a sense of false security before the cavalry charges ?

To be fair, they're used to tanks on the streets from Good Old Boys.

is it though ? You can’t have a group of
30 in a pub , you can have 30 people obviously but they should be social distanced and in a maximum of groups of 6 .

Max group would be shooter and loader wouldn't it? Socially distanced pairs. Easy to mitigate risk whilst shooting mate. Whether they do or not...

Christ.

Not sure the Government will survive a second wave of this; the first wave was defined by unplanned incompetence but this has been expensively put together and is approaching chocolate fire guard levels of usefulness.

You cant have high test results if nobody can get a test.

These people arent incompetent, they are devious.

 

[Kenshin]

The government.

SHUT THEM DOWN.

The thing is on the pub front I agree. I'm not being deliberately obtuse, I posted a week or so ago about some cases my mum knew and they were all connected by pubs.

However bigger picture is that a few months furlough is not the same as 30-40 years of potential earnings that would be lost if a business did go under by being closed.

And yet I was told it was not beyond the realms of possibility that they would delay rules to encourage people to gather!

Locking down areas without any means to test them is extremely poor

Yep, as I've said before, my stance has changed, you cant just say "shut this and shut that", this is peoples livelihood you are messing with, now clearly peoples health is more important. But its cutting off an arm to save a leg.

As much as I will take pops at the Tory Death Cult, I do not envy them currently, there are no easy answers.

No, but there are far better answers than the ones they’ve come up with. A properly staffed, properly funded system that did track and trace would have cost a fortune and would have required many tens of thousands of people to work. It would have been much more likely to prevent a lockdown though, and would have given people confidence to keep society open.

Instead we ended up with a hybrid version of what Sweden are doing.

The Coronavirus Hokey Cokey.

It`s no wonder people are starting to get a bit angsty and the youth are just ignoring the rules.
