Maybe you missed the bit where I said none of us have been in contact with anyone for weeks ???

Not being funny Karen you buggered off to Wembley when a lot of us said "you're joking no way am I going to that !! "

You’ve mastered Bluemoon on whatever device you have.

If you type in a few numbers, you can ring someone up and converse with them.

21sr century phones can do phone calls as well as give you access to the internet.
 
Or see them from a safe distance with no risk to anyone and live in the real, rather than the virtual world ?

What’s the difference? We all have the ability to speak and see (mostly) our family members. What difference does it make as to whether it’s over the internet or over a hedge?

Yeah I get that and if youre really clever you can meet people face to face safely. No device needed.
 
Ask my mother in law aged 90. For some reason she preferred face to face, from about 30 feet

I look after my 92 year old gran. She can’t comprehend what is going on either. My wife is a vicar and we had a visit from one of her parishioners, who is 94. They can’t grasp what is going on and all I can do with my grandma is shield her as best I can and have the same conversation with her about life shutting down on a pretty much daily basis. She’s stone deaf too, so it is a bit of a chore, but one we need to go through.

I feel your pain but the virus hasn’t gone and lockdown needs to be in place for a little while longer yet. I get that you are intelligent enough to socially distance well and keep everyone around you safe, but the majority of people will take the piss if lockdown is eased in any way.

I did my weekly shop for us yesterday and there were four people together in front of me. 2 blokes in their 30s, a woman of similar age and around an 8 year old. A lot of people are either too selfish or stupid to understand what is happening.

if we lift lockdown rules in any meaningful way over the weekend, our numbers aren’t going to look good come August.
 
Or tell me the risk of speaking to a loved one from 30 feet ?

I would allow people and probably wouldn’t have stopped people socially distantly visiting their families (within mileage reasonability). They were allowed to take them their shopping, so having a socially distant chat was always possible.

That's your take not the governments. There is a really sensible common sense approach to easing the lockdown that has to be taken. Im confident they will

The fly in the ointment is the cretins that take the piss.

That’s why we need to keep slightly safer guidelines than are needed.

Slightly safer guidelines will not stop cretins taking the piss. For them it is completely irrelevant what the Govt says, and the Govt knows that. The Govt always speaks to the majority in the knowledge that most of us will listen to it

I, for one, will be socially distancing for at least the rest of the year, whatever is announced.

Is the crucial bit and the part Gavo isn’t getting. He’s also not understanding how this virus transmits, how contagious it is and is assuming that those he would like to see will not have the virus.

I’ve had one argument on this thread last night, so I’m not getting into another. All I’ll say is that logic shows a criminal lack of knowledge and is driven by the heart, not the head.

It will ease shortly, and at that point we have to assume that when families can meet again it will be done safely. That is putting faith in the human race and frankly, after reading the last few pages and the debate I had last night, is not something I’d be willing to do without absolute assurance.

You couldnt have posted more unadulterated tripe than that if youd have tried all night.

You’ve been rounded up on a little here fella over the last few pages.

That’s a pretty solid indication that your thought train isn’t quite where it needs to be.

I feel your pain, we are all in the same boat.

Listen to the advice.

That's right mate go for the mob mentality.

Then re-read your first sentence again and if you have any decency, apologise.
 
Why is it called social distancing? There is nothing social about it. Should be called anti social distancing.

Another thing. If it's so contagious why aren't supermarket workers dropping like flys? They are surrounded by people all day, yet they say we shouldn't go and see family.

The whole thing stinks. Can't trust the numbers either as it seems whatever someone has died from they just put it down as Covid19.

Project Fear in full effect.
 
In case your forgetting it here it is

"Is the crucial bit and the part Gavo isn’t getting. He’s also not understanding how this virus transmits, how contagious it is and is assuming that those he would like to see will not have the virus. "

I have a feeling I understand that a damn sight more than you do
