COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[kaz7]

It’s only a nonsense if you want it to be nonsense.

So it matters if it is a friend or a relative but not a stranger?

If all you are going to do is fucking pick at me every day and offer nothing else then go to the fucking park

 

[BlueAnorak]

One can rally only hope.

Conservative politics is just not going to get us anywhere, it's taking us backwards and really fucking quickly.

As opposed to what? Socialism?
Give over. It has never worked anywhere. Ever.

Classic response from you when you know you’re talking crap.

I would explain it properly but it’d be lost on you.

The first slogan had the vast majority staying at home,this next one is nonsense,stay alert ,if it takes fifty pages to explain this next step it is lost on just about everybody

I think Boris Johnson explained that the central message initially was stark: "Stay at home", but wave 1 has crashed upon us and we're picking ourselves up now and looking around. The situation has changed. Setting aside what you want, what they want is to focus a little on the economy as you can't have a lockdown indefinitely. So we go back to work with an eye on the risks and it inevitably gets more complicated.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

I think the perfect slogan for the nation would have been "Have a party - Keep clapping - Instagram your Zoom Snapchat", missed opportunity.

I'm using my own judgement and carrying on as we are until I can be sure me and the missus are in no danger. Fuck the incompetent twats in charge I am not scared to remain at home and my mental strength will get us through by doing everything in my power to limit the risks

 

[kaz7]

And if we all did that ? On the same day, say around 1pm on a Sunday ?
That's not a good message from someone that's recently been where you have, Kaz.

But everyone was out at the weekend is the point,they were doing it but getting moved on but they can do one day later was her point
,
Never mind,you probably had to be there

And don't put words in my mouth,i know full well where I have been and wouldn't wish it on a dog

Edit seen it was a different post quoted

Seeing your family/friends from a distance is the same as seeing strangers from a distance

 

[cleavers]

So I could meet my mam in the park but she couldn't bring my dad with her?

Even if we social distanced?

To turn the argument round slightly, she and your dad can go out together to exercise as previous rules (assuming they are not isolating obviously, and live in the same household), they can also go to the park for their walk (they can even drive there now). So if they now met you on your walk, and you were alone, then it doesn't appear to break the rules so long as you keep 2m apart.

I could drive the 6 hour round trip to meet either parent or my son, but I'd have to do it on separate days.

I'd love to know is going to police all this anyway, its such a muddle

 

[jimharri]

Okay folks, it seems that another reminder is needed. If you want to make political points, there is a Covid thread in the politics sub forum. Put them there. Thanks.

Just meet them but stay well away,the above is a nonsense

Your words not mine.

Go on then

 

[Claytop]

Boris just isn’t a good enough speaker for situations like this, he’s fine when it’s a comfortable setting and he can waffle on aimlessly but struggles otherwise.

I don’t have too much of an issue with the plan, it’s not possible to have an answer for every situation but he doesn’t help himself.

 

[Ste1969]

Beth rigby looks like lilly savage with a different wig.

 

[kaz7]

Your words not mine.

the bit that is nonsense is the differentiating between friend/ relative and strangers,you can stay two metres from everybody and be safe,why can only one person see one other person they want to they want to see when you see thousands of others you don't know,maybe sandwiched together on the tube or people at work

So would you arrange to see one parent then walk straight past them in the park? Or would you stay 2 metres apart from a total stranger and decide to have a 15 minute chat with them?

It’s only a nonsense if you want it to be nonsense.

Possibly the best summary I've seen of the current shituation... "I think I’ve worked it out...

* 4 year olds can go to school, but university students who have paid for the tuition they haven’t had and the accommodation they aren’t living in, can’t go to university.

* I can go to school with many 4 year olds that I’m not related to, but can’t see one 4 year old that I am related to.

* I can sit in a park, but not tomorrow, but by Wednesday that’ll be fine.

* I can meet one person from another household for a chat or to sunbathe, but not two people, so if I know two people from another household I have to pick my favourite. Hopefully, I’m also their favourite person from my household or this could be awkward. But possibly I’m not. In fact, thinking about it, I definitely wouldn’t be. But I can’t go closer than 2m to the one I choose anyway - so you wouldn’t think having the other one sat next to them would matter - unless two people would restrict my eyeline too much and prevent me from being alert.

* I can work all day with my colleagues, but I can’t sit in their garden for a chat after work.

* I can now do unlimited exercise, when quite frankly just doing an hour a day felt like I was some kind of fitness guru. I can think of lots of things that I would like to be unlimited, but exercise definitely isn’t one of them.

* I can drive to other destinations, although which destinations is unclear. I was supposed to be in Brighton this weekend. Can I drive there? It’s hundreds of miles away, but no one has said that’s wrong.

* The buses are still running past my house but I shouldn’t get on one. We should just let empty buses drive around so bus drivers aren’t doing nothing.

* It will soon be time to quarantine people coming into the country by air... but not yet. It’s too soon. And not ever if you’re coming from France because... well, I don’t do know why, actually. Because the French version of coronavirus wouldn’t come to the UK, maybe.

* Our youngest children go back to school first because... they are notoriously good at not touching things they shouldn’t, maintain personal space at all times, and never randomly lick you.

* We are somewhere in between 3.5 and 4.5 on a five point scale, where 5 is all of the virus and 1 is none of the virus, but 2, 3 and 4 can be anything you’d like it to be, really. Some of the virus? A bit of the virus? Just enough virus to see off those over 70s who were told to self isolate, but now we’ve realised that they’ve done that a bit too well despite us offloading coronavirus patients into care homes, and now we are claiming that was never said in the first place, even though it’s in writing in the stay at home guidance?

* The slogan isn’t stay at home any more.So we don’t have to stay at home. Except we do. Unless we can’t. In which case we should go out. But there will be fines if we break the rules. So don’t do that. Don’t forget... Stay alert... which Robert Jenrick has explained actually means stay home as much as possible. Obviously. Control the virus. Well, I can’t even control my dogs, and I can actually see them. Plus, I know a bit about dogs and very little about controlling viruses. Save lives. Always preferable to not saving lives, I’d say, so I’ll try my best with that one, although hopefully I don’t need telling to do that. I know I’m bragging now, but not NOT saving lives is something I do every day. So there you are. If you’re the weirdo wanting unlimited exercise then enjoy. But not until Wednesday. Obviously."

Isn't it strange how nobody was into exercise until they couldn't do it. Now they are obsessed with having to go out and do it
