Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

But generally no I don't agree with your point at all. There's no point spinning it. You said you wanted people jailed who have an opinion that covid is not a threat.

Which is weird, because he himself decreed it as not a threat once upon a time.

Dave’s kink to be punished needs to be toned down on here.

Feels like it's gonna be deja vu again, Ignore the clear and obvious early warning signs and chance it about then when it gets serious go into panic mode and take drastic measures after Mikel Arteta tests positive again.

People don’t follow the rules, simple as that. Can blame the gov all you want for things like this but it’s the rest of us forcing their hand to make these decisions in the first place.

Not good enough. They know it too. And as soon as the death tolls rise those places will be shut down completely. They are incubators and cant be allowed to remain open.

Yep. I have nothing against this argument. Cinemas, opera houses, theater halls etc. next I would assume.

The unfolding of events has been quite predictable really.

Restrictions were relaxed too broadly and too quickly in the early summer, and once that occurred, it's very difficult to row back from both an economic and social viewpoint.

My own view is that a more limited but sustainable level of activity would have been the best way to go - reduced activity that could be maintained on a continuous level would be better than this constant yo-yo of restrict and relax, over the last few weeks, and the months to come.

That would after all, been a far more accurate description of "controlling" the virus.

There is a level of dismay and even incredulity now that covid levels are starting to soar again - people have been badly led and misled.

why don't offices have to wear face coverings? find it all a bit odd

I’ve given him an ultimatum.

He either stops pissing about or else I’m sending his details to Dave, so that Dave can “ re educate “ him.

It’s either that or he joins the Marines.

given the choice I think he’d jump at the chance of a few months at lympstone , that endurance course and speed march will feel like a slow stroll in the sunshine.

Mate, send him to the Foreign Legion bloody 18 months in the jungle (something like that it is) very few make it through proper hardcore.

basically this wont do anything to halt the numbers so in a couple of weeks full lockdown will commence

What rules are they?
The rule of wearing a mask doing your shopping at 3pm but then go out mask free for a family meal or drink at 8pm?

Yes because it is simply not wearing a mask in a pub that's causing the spikes.

 

[Walken]

a month ago we were told by the health secretary that offices were safe and that there was no evidence it spread there and that it was safe to return . Now after signs at tube stations pushing people it’s back to work from home .

if anyone tries to tell me this is anything other than chaotic I simply can’t understand their mindset . I just havent got time to list the reversals . It honestly wrecks my head

They told the same deliberately misleading statements about schools

Disagree, they called this second wave ‘in September’ back in March.

 

[Walken]

I think Dave thinks we live in a country with whopping great gulags to send people to. Either that or we're happy to just murder those we disagree with and bury them in the forest like good old boys.

I think we can use the isle of man in some sort of 'escape from new york' scenario.

exactly, logic out of the window, in all surfaces.
