You've underlined in this exchange just how contradictory and ill thought out you are.
Thank you.

Said this about the rule of 6 last week.
Delaying it encourages people to do the things you don't want them to do in 4 days time. So if it's such a problem then why encourage them to keep doing it?
It's a pandemic, no reason to give notice. If it puts someone out then tough, that's current reality.
Load of bullocks this.

it's not spreading in pubs you utter wazoo, it's spreading in households.

Plus this can't go to someone's house in fear of spreading the virus is a joke now. Sorry but it makes zero sense anymore.
I can't visit a friend in their house or better still their garden despite socially distancing and wearing a mask.
But
I can meet hundreds of people in Asda who aren't all wearing masks, touching items hundreds have touched potentially. Or go the pub and drink to the point that I can't follow guidelines due to intoxication with hundreds of others.
That doesn't make any sense anymore. Either shut it all down or none. My friends garden is not more dangerous than a pub or supermarket.

How do you know it's spreading in households?
Given that people go shopping , work , pubs , parks , everything in between there.
Why is it households specifically now? I work with over 30 other people for example. If it spread in our office then it's absolutely the workplace doing that, not my house.
Quite simply, if you’re going to enforce this with legal consequences (fines etc.) then there must be a grace period.

I live in an area that's been under restrictions since July and all the evidence here is it's transmitting in the house holds.
They can tell from track and trace if the virus is spreading in pubs and restaurants

Avoid Amateur sporting events? Just for clarification, does that mean I can't watch Everton when Gylfi and Tom are playing in midfield?

It's all getting shut down soon. These latest restrictions are the thin end of the wedge. Anyone who doesn't see this as easing us into a new national lockdown isn't living in the real world. By the middle of next month we'll be locked down tight...or as tight as we were between mid-March and May.

Like I said a couple of weeks ago, cases in Birkenhead were all connected by the pub. That includes doormen, pub singers and pub regulars all sick or positive testing.
Things are relatively back to normal outside now with work and everything else and cases are rising. Sorry but it's clearly external issues that are the problem, not someone's house. Unless you talk about a house party or something that specific.
If I caught it from work and passed it quite easily to my wife once I got home, is it still household spreading or the 30 potential carriers In my office at fault?
Scientists are saying you're wrong, and that households are a crucial vector for virus spread.
You need to go to the supermarket to buy food, and you may need to go to work to earn a living and keep paying bills. You do not need to go to your mate's house.
I don’t see how we can. Payment holidays are ending and bailiffs are back on the scene. Colleague spoke to one yesterday who told her they had a massive backlog of council tax arrears to try and collect but they were visiting people’s houses who simply had no cash or earnings. We are about to see a colossal recession.
