There is one way out of this imo. Be as careful as you can and if you want to remain at home etc then do that but let others get on with it and make their own choices. Let me decide by myself how much risk I want to expose myself to. This lockdown is being mentioned as two weeks. Remember the first one was three weeks...then we were all going to back to normal. It feels like pubs, revellers and young folk are getting blamed whilst actually the things they do didn't seem to see any kind of increase in hospitalisations for a good couple of months. Maybe it was just delayed I guess. It's funny that for work I can travel around the country, seeing new faces each week in reasonable numbers, yet I can't go on my planned long weekend as, in England, babies count towards the 6 which takes us to 7 and not allowed...even though the parents could come and then immediately be back with the kid once they got home 🤷🏻♂️ Regards the bit in bold, that doesn't sound so bad!!

Remember the first one was three weeks...then we were all going to back to normal. There was never any promise that we'd go back to normal after 3 weeks. This was the PM's speech when lockdown was announced: No Prime Minister wants to enact measures like this. I know the damage that this disruption is doing and will do to people’s lives, to their businesses and to their jobs. And that’s why we have produced a huge and unprecedented programme of support both for workers and for business. And I can assure you that we will keep these restrictions under constant review. We will look again in three weeks, and relax them if the evidence shows we are able to. But at present there are just no easy options. The way ahead is hard, and it is still true that many lives will sadly be lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costanza Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 39 minutes ago, The Frenchman Returns said: Purely for debate My issue with this statistic is that it is a binary outcome of surviving or dying with Covid. Not enough consideration in my view is given to "Long Covid". There are reportedly tens of thousands of then healthy people who are still suffering months after covid and suggests to me that a herd immunity approach would just exacerbate this, especially if we don't have specific measures to reduce spread and viral load. https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-more-than-half-of-covid-19-patients-experience-ongoing-fatigue-study-finds-12074119 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo 4 Ever Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Scotland's Health Secretary Jeane Freeman has confirmed in an interview that a national ban on house visits is 'one of the options' being considered by the Scottish Government. The news comes as Nicola Sturgeon is expected to announce new lockdown measures in Scotland later today at her daily coronavirus briefing. In an interview with the BBC, Freeman was asked whether extending a house visit ban across the country is the sort of potential measure that could be introduced on a more permanent basis.

Norm Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Sorry, but if they ban house visits today I'll be ignoring them at the weekend. My 9yr old has just watched her younger sister have a birthday party 2 weeks ago with a few of her pals outside, been to her pals birthday party outside with a few mates a week ago , then to be told that we had to cancel hers and at most she could have one pal visit over the course of a few days. There's not a ****ing chance I'm now telling her "Sorry, now you can't have any pals round for your birthday. But off to school you go, to spend the day in a small room with 30 of them."
