My mum was really afraid at first too she’s better now and probably flaunts the rules a bit, but she doesn’t want to not see us especially as my dad has a bit dementia now and drives her up the wall. She had a busy life until March and the thought of not leaving the house and not seeing us and her grandchildren is just too much. Its tough weighing up your decisions.

I know people who are terrified. A mate isn’t coming to watch the game with us today and tbh he only really let It out last night why we haven’t seen him for months is that his mum has barely left her house since March and that he sees he through the window, she’s petrified. She has underlying health issues as well. Last week was the anniversary of his son dying suddenly he’d have been 21 and they didn’t get together to mourn because his mum is so afraid. I know them all very well and that’s upsetting, I know how much my mate goes into severe downers at this time of year and he doesn’t cope that well. Phone calls and stuff only really do so much you have other stuff to deal with and you forget about them. We always used to make sure he got out and about at this time to have a few beers and he’d tell you heavy stuff how he’s thought about ending it. I really don’t find this funny. I know a girl who’s son is afraid to go to school again because the cases are rising and that they have to go for tests every now and again or he freaks out he’s got it, he’s 12. You seem to think everyone thinks like you and doesn’t care a monkeys. That’s really not how it is. Do I want to take a new drug that’s not really been tested? Not particularly but do I want to live like this? Do I ****. That is sad, and the sadest thing is your mate won't be alone, far from it, as there are many who are/have been scared to shit by this. I have a sister-in-law who is literally terrified to go out, it takes her all her time to buck up the courage to even go to the local corner shop. The other day whilst walking up to my high street, I seen an older woman sweeping leaves off her path, and she was wearing a face mask, in her own garden, that's how much some people have been spooked by this. The mental health consequences of this are going to be huge and long long lasting, for a lot of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm well aware people are terrified. Apart from the couple of months where household visits were allowed I've only seen my own mum and dad through the window or in the garden too. It's tragic what's happening not just because people are dying but because people are too scared to live, or are now not allowed to do things they love doing. But for a lot of people following these rules doesn't mean they're scared of the virus, they just want it over with as quickly as possible and the only way that can happen is if the virus isn't spreading as much. It's indescribably shit but that's what we've been left with. In general I think we agree with each other but I'm just hopeless at getting my point across.

Seymour M Hersh Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 58 minutes ago, coconut doug said: Sage have dozens of the most respected scientists across all field of knowledge including behavioural scientists. The notion that they are incapable translating numerical data into appropriate harm reduction strategies is frankly ludicrous. The tiered response alone shows that they are trying to balance economic priorities with health needs. Deciding who goes where and where the lines are drawn are political decisions based on the real life knowledge they continue to assimilate as well as the modelling they do. Expecting the average citizen to fully appreciate the highly nuanced nature of this decision making process is maybe a step too far though. It is Jason Leitch's ability to bridge this gap that makes him such a valuable asset to the SG and feeds in to the very high approval ratings the SG has on its handling of this matter. Maybe those responsible in England could get him for a short secondment. Why do they keeping get it so wrong then Einstein? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that was the case when they eased things from the last lockdown. Remember London was at something like 0.5 to 0.7 whilst the North of England was around about 0.7 to 1, and the North warned the Government that it was too soon to open things up, but London was all that mattered, and look at the state of the North now.

gashauskis9 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 The likelihood of a UK wide lockdown having much effect is low imo. He’s got that arsehole Cummings to thank for that. He’ll need to bring in the army this time because sadly a large proportion of the population, like his pal, have no respect for the rules and no f**ks given for the health of their communities.

I'm still in awe at the video footage of how quickly the Rab C vested punter in Italy was incapacitated.
