Project restart discussion.

[helpimonfire]

Spain relaxed their lockdown laws and the death toll started to rise. They have now brought back tougher rules. UK will get the go ahead to do as it pleases next week and we probably, and sadly, can guess the outcome. Stupid is as stupid does someone once said. Give them the trophy and end the season as it will save lives. This is beyond stupid now.

Well obviously. We are British and we do what we want.

My ald fella splits his time here and Spain, and he can't go back to Spain because of how strict it was. Police/Guards were walking through apartment complexes instructing people stay off their patios and stay inside only. That's lockdown. That's how it should have been.

Us Brits? Thankfully most are respectful, but you get some deadheads down the park with the first bit of good weather, shirts off, crates of beer and not giving a damn.
I'm classed as a "Key" worker (questionable), and the roads when i'm travelling to work each morning are back to normal. We have relaxed policing so much, that it's impossible to be consistent in having a lockdown, because it isn't sustainable sadly.

Public Workers (NHS, Police) have been exposed to being so understaffed throughout this, and nothing will change.

We'll restart the season, and i reckon 5-6 will get it, and then we'll stop. All the fuss, and it'll be pointless.

We do not know the impact on the immune system long term, or whether it could be re-caught/how it will mutilate.

Up to now I have been quite calm about the whole virus situation but that has just put the heebie-jeebies in me...

Next week, the changes might only be for you go out for exercise more than once a day, or to be able drive short distances to take a walk or whatever.

If people still are strict with distancing, this should hopefully not have any negative impact.

Football won't be allowed for weeks.

You just know it will be like when people first started being furloughed and decided it was holiday time and decended en masse to beaches/parks/snowdonia. If enough people go it makes it impossible not to come within a couple of metres of someone. We'll be back to square one before you know it.

Yeah that could be a problem. I hope they make it clear only short distances to travel are ok.

The very fact that they're taking so much time to make any kind of decision should in itself show them how ludicrous an idea it is to restart in any way. We don't need to "Catch it" or "Kill it", just "Bin it".

Why?

I get what you are saying absolutely. You aren't wrong. But my point is , people could be tits and gather, but the numbers don't go up.

I don't get the assumptions that people gathering equals everyone gets sick. If anything , it would accelerate the business side of easing if people didn't start getting I'll again.

Not that I encourage it mind you. Need to do as we are told

The idea that this a peculiarly British trait makes me laugh. I've spoken to friends and colleagues in a few different countries since lockdown started, and all of them are telling the same tales. Just because your twitter feed isn't telling you about it doesn't mean it's not happening.

All i can do is base it off people around me, and people I know in foreign countries.

Spain, Australia and France i've had friends tell me about their gross restrictions by comparison to ours. From what i've seen, parks have never been busier, supermarkets are just as busy. Everyone did great for 3 weeks, and they've struggled since. We all live in, and see different places and things.

It could be circumstantial, but for me, people aren't adhering to fighting the virus, and there's a reason why we've got the highest death rate in Europe.

What’s for dinner?

Was hoping for hairy kebab but was left disappointed

Defo one for the Prems new rule book this! Stop talking lads FFS. You can still pull, push, grapple, foul, kick your opponent though, that's sound.

We will be getting loads of yellows and reds for the entire team getting on Morgan the organs case for not tracking back!

Football becomes more ridiculous by the second.

I drove over pen y pass yesterday ( car park for start of couple of snowdonia routes) ... the car park itself is empty but there was still a few people milling about, not loads granted but enough, also loads of cyclists in the area

Both are things which a large number of people are already doing

You're answering your own point here though. The restrictions have been much tighter in other countries. Parks have been closed in other countries, they haven't here. You can't then say that it's something in the make up of British people that makes them go to the park, it's just that they're able to while the people you're comparing them to aren't! Our lockdown wasn't as strict, that's on the government, not the people.

All this 'parks have never been busier' stuff is absolute guff aswell. I keep people saying about where I live and it's just completely untrue. I go walking with the dog for maybe 2 hours some days and see virtually nobody, then I go on twitter and there people saying they walked the same route and it was full of people. And they always have a valid reason to be out of course, it's only the other people who are doing something wrong.
