Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[tsubaki]

to be fair we couldn't celebrate Easter which is the most important festival in Christianity

we do and the consumption of marked buns, chocolate eggs and so on proves how seriously we commemorate someone being crucified.

Yeah you can feel something is going to come out mate. Hopefully something along the lines of Christmas is cancelled for all Southerners, but everyone else can party like it's 1999! lol

Turning off all the street lights will ensure that noone travels and therefore isolates correctly over Christmas and new year.

The 5 days has now been reduced to 3 and only 2 bubbles allowed to meet up.

I wasn't really that much in favour of the loosening of restrictions in the first place. But now the decision has been made millions of people will have made plans, bought and ordered food and drink, booked travel, and not least built up hopes of seeing loved ones they possibly haven't seen for 9 months or more.

To reverse the decision now would cause so many problems for people. I wouldn't put it past them though. Wouldn't be surprised if Wales and Scotland pulled out first either.

At this rate, I’ll just about be legal to spend Christmas by yourself.

All southerners must transfer presents to a northern family.

Can’t wait to get some new Chinos and a polo top

The stricter they make the rules the less the public will buy in. Surely even this inept government can work that out.

No rules means a free for all. But sensible rules and most will adhere. Pragmatism is key in this.

It's almost like Boris is just playing to the crowd at times. "You can have 5 days over the holidays with 3 bubbles" everyone's like "brilliant" Boris then is like "Hang on, I've cocked - up, you can only have 3 days" the crowd are like "boooooooo" it wouldn't surprise if the next step wasn't everyone has to stay home in their own bubble for Christmas, cue riots! lol

They could probably cut it to the 3 main days ( Christmas eve, Day & Boxing Day) and most would accept it and there's probably merit to that. It's about using common sense, very few will have big parties this year. I know my family certainly aren't having the normal things we normally do, or anything close. But if you try to deprive people of that hour or two on Christmas day with their parents, kids, grandkids etc, then I don't think people will comply at all, and it would actually encourage some to actually ramp up their Christmas plans i reckon.

Seeing my parents Christmas eve, gf parents Christmas day. No one is going to physical shops as of 17 Dec. Should work out okay.

An hour or two ?

I should be so lucky.

There's going to be a huge spike in Jan/Feb. It's obvious.
Look out NHS.
