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

Why would more people get sick? Because the virus is still out there and if you get more people coming from different parts of the country all it takes is a bit of the virus to remain on a gate etc. and suddenly in one day you'll have managed to create 3/4/5 and so on outbreaks in different areas of the country. They will then spread to people close to them as if everything is a bit more relaxed people may think this over when it won't be.

The only hope is that more people have been infected than thought and have immunity. To know that for certain they need to get a test that checks if you have had it and roll it out nationwide to get an idea.

A secondary lockdown will be far more damaging than the first so I hope the government keep to taking baby steps to release the lockdown with clear rules that cannot be taken to mean other things.

Good, the more the merrier and once they withdraw relegation to get the teams to agree to play the remaining games on neutral ground hopefully the penny will drop. Who cares what the result of these games are if the champions and relegation issue has been sorted already. Are we supposed to think this is amazing who will come in the top 4 and 5-7 to get European football that could well never happen next season anyhow.

I'm talking theoretically.

Theoretically 1000 people could all gather and none of them have the virus.

For obvious reasons we can't have that happen for a long time but theoretically going with the line that it will spread assumes that some of those 1000 are sick.

If numbers are dropping there is no guarantee that people will get infected a second time. For the sake of being safe we have to go with that assumption they will but theoretically talking that isn't guaranteed.

ITK on city forum has said the PL is outbidding the NHS for PPE and test equipment. Either forcing them lose out or pay more.

If thats true then the NHS needs to come out all guns blazing

Couple of kopites on twitter have picked up on this. Saying NHS needs to decide what it wants more, some disposable plastic masks or a wave of euphoric morale boosting sporting endeavours the likes of which the world has never seen.

You can't blame people for wanting to go for a walk that will actually help take their minds off of it, the beautiful scenery will probably work wonders for mental health. The problem is when everyone has the same idea! Perhaps there needs to some kind of online ticketing process with a checkpoint so that the people can go to these beauty spots knowing that there will only be so many hundred people there at any one time until we get to the point people can mingle freely.

That won't be true.

And 'outbidding' who exactly? The government are procuring PPE specifically for the NHS, it's not an open auction where private companies are able to bid on it.

I read a report this morning that police had stopped a couple near snowdon who had driven up from Kent for the day to see the scenery
