It isn’t. Why has this spike only happened in the last few weeks and been relatively under control here since March?

It isn’t the fault of anyone. Why are we so quick in the country to point the finger and place the blame at the people.

No wonder the government continue to take the piss. They know we’ll all turn on eachother eventually.

Schools and Universities are clearly the problem but for some reason pubs and restaurants get all the blame. The cases will continue to rise after they close anyway over the next month or two.

Are you really this dim or are you merely being obtuse?

Either way cba with you.

Dim? Hahaha Because I don’t agree with you?

Activate the ignore function if you cba

Anything more than a couple of weeks and you’ll see a massive rise in house parties.

This ain’t gonna end well.

Some may say it's pessimistic but realism would suggest that the rate, here in Liverpool and the wider NW, still has the potential to rise much further.

Hopefully, these restrictions will help curb and slow the virus's exponential growth, but will they actually reduce the curve? God, we're only in early October!

Yep, they’ll be no drop in cases at all.

But it’s given them a reason to point the blame at drunk scousers.

Shutting the pubs whilst keeping everything else open is pointless.

Why's it either/or? Can't all of them be the problem?

We're heading into cold weather. There'll be no 'protests'.

Besides that, we are headed into carnage and no one but a 'kin idiot would want to be in an ale house.

You didn’t actually disagree with me though, you merely avoided the simple point made and posted ‘and?’

And yes I will, as you’ve patently got nothing of value here.

Not even based on science. When Scotland Implemented measures recently gyms weren’t anywhere near being a dangerous place for levels of transmission.

The northern “leaders” are just as spineless as their southern counterparts.

Farce that they'd close Gyms, I know so many people whos life is the Gym, either PT or genuinely fitness fanatics. Seems like the strangest place to close, you go in, you sanitise after every set, and i'm yet to meet anyone in the Gym as of yet, who's had COVID.

Despite me giggling at some gym bunnies earlier in the year, I struggle see them being the same risk as a pub.

The pubs were open for around 2 months with no issue before the schools opened and cases then quickly started to rise.

Maybe, just maybe, if all the selfish tw@ts actually adhered to social distancing, wearing masks, washing hands etc for just a few weeks, life would already be back to pretty much normal. We managed it in Australia just fine, and now with the exception of Victoria, we have hardly any restrictions still in place.

Make no mistake, it is all the people complaining about restrictions and ignoring them that is keeping this thing going. Civil disobedience is not the solution, it is the problem. Time to grow up.

Yep. It sucks but government lockdowns are the answer. Nobody likes it, even in a fairly pliant and liberal society as we have here in NZ, but its proven to work in most examples worldwide. The UK government needs to accept responsibility as much as British society at large. Spirit of the Blitz & all that.

So, basically, there'll hardly be any pub closures and no restaurant closures and the infection rate will continue to rocket.

What a shambles of a government.

No issue????
