MoncurMacdonaldMercer Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 4 hours ago, JFK-1 said: So the government is now increasing the alert level to level 4 which means transmission is "high or rising exponentially". The scientists are predicting a potential 50,000 new cases a day by mid October without further action. Think about the pressure on the NHS of that before whining about mental health and cancelled surgeries. This is a war against an invisible enemy that isn't going to be won anytime soon. that 50000 per day scenario was delivered in the knowledge that most of the population have very little understanding of maths he did specifically say it wasn’t a prediction tho (probably to cover himself with those that do) seems to have worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 2 households can mix, you have to wear a mask on the floor and it's table service. The existing rules, if obeyed and enforced, are perfectly safe. That's my experience from the ones I go to. If some places are not observing that we need to ramp up enforcement. The problem is crowds of youngsters mingling in house parties, beaches and raves. If everyone else is observing the rules and being careful then eventually cases will drop imo. The young Scaffolder on my site bragging about 20 of his mates hiring cabins every weekend. And then walking about as if it's nothing when the ground worker gaffer showed him a facepalm. The 20 somethings(They really are a bit Dolly, these days) should be locked up for 2 weeks. Sorted! Other news... America and China are the only 2 twits not to agree to share a proven vaccine world wide. Oh, a wee message for The PM. Shut the Borders for 2 weeks, no one in, no one out. AND A MESSAGE FOR THE FM. Shut the gyms, pubs, restaurants etc... for a one week, and bring the October break for schools forward to the start of October, this will save you shutting the schools for any longer than needed if full lock down comes.

The Internet Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Yeah there's a vast difference between being skeptical of a rushed covid vaccine and being a full on anti-vax nutjob.

Even with 2k cases a day, cruise ships are again leaving ports, 1k fans will be allowed into Serie A games this month, they are utilising 90 min tests at schools and airports and lockdown is over. Compulsory mask wearing after 6pm outdoors is generally observed and, more importantly, enforced. Perhaps the way the virus hit them initially has led to their population understanding what they need to do to stay safe. 10 hours ago, Enzo Chiefo said: I think the worst that happen will be that pubs have to close at 10pm. Closing restaurants and pubs that are, in the main, perfectly safe, disciplined and well policed, having spent a lot of time, money and effort making themselves so.....would be an act of lunacy and economic destruction. 100% agree. Conversely the venues that aren't well policed and disciplined should be shut down. Permanently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got to think that pubs empty at 10 will lead to more folk going back to others houses at the weekends.I seen a landlord on the TV at the weekend saying all it will do is have more folk trying to get in earlier.I just see this move as more folk going to houses when pubs shut as I think you are actually more inclined to go to a house when you are in a merry state than a total pissed state imo.
