I don’t think it was ever the Governments intention shutting down sites or manufacturing in the first lockdown, a lot of it was places shutting while they got a COVID protocol in place , I can’t see them shutting down in any further lockdown.In the first, proper lockdown, the site was closed. Not in
I didnt realise.Golf courses are open. So I suppose it’s the same thing.
I agree. I don’t think we’ll ever see a lockdown like the first one. We’ve now got ’bubbles’ on the social front and companies are now far more aware of what they can and can’t do.I don’t think it was ever the Governments intention shutting down sites or manufacturing in the first lockdown, a lot of it was places shutting while they got a COVID protocol in place , I can’t see them shutting down in any further lockdown.
I’ve never been to either (:It’s not in a range/ pitch and put, you need to go inside to pay and driving ranges are often under some form of cover.
At our course I can rock up and not be within 20 yards of someone outside, at all times.
It’s probably safer than a walk.
But I wouldn’t go to a driving range now.
Golf courses were the first thing to open in April-May and they’ve stuck it to 2 balls only going out and members only.I didnt realise.
Some fucking lockdown this bollocks.
It's not hard is it?Need a four week minimum national lockdown as we did in March / April. Obvious exceptions such as food stores etc staying open but pretty much everything else closed and no loopholes. Work from home, schools closed send, universities online. Give to country a chance to drive down infections and to roll out vaccine in huge numbers.

I wouldn’t even need to go near anyone to play and it’s no different than going for a walk.
Even playing with someone outside my house, you spend nearly the whole day 20+ yards away, especially if you’re shit like me.
You’re not allowed to touch flags and the bunker rakes aren’t there.
Id argue it’s safer than a walk down the canal, as you’re further apart from others.
Driving ranges and pitch and put is a different story though, I would close them.
I just brought it up on previous page,drove past yesterday and it was rammed and people queing up to get in.I just drove past that one near the Trafford centre. Was packed.
I'm a warm weather golfer but apparently 2 balls are ok still.Why would Golf/Pitch and Put,next to the Trafford Centre,still be open?

There isn't that much left to be gained from going from tier 4 to a 'tier 5'.
There is another option - targeted vaccination in the NHS regions most under pressure. The problem with vaccination is that it takes a fortnight to affect immunity so if we want to do this we have to it sooner rather than later.
A very positive article has just come up on the Telegraph (behind paywall so I won't link). It is about about vaccine availability and it appears the UK has plenty. In addition to the 580,000 doses of the Oxford vaccine being distributed now a further 450,000 will be delivered tomorrow. A further three million doses are in vials and will be released shortly and fifteen million doses are awaiting decanting into vials. There are also five million Pfizer doses in the UK right now so in total 24 milion doses are ready to go or will be shortly. It won't happen from day one but in a couple of weeks I'd be extremely disappointed if we aren't achieving a minimum of two million shots a week.
I completely agree this is total madnessI just brought it up on previous page,drove past yesterday and it was rammed and people queing up to get in.
This work from home message is being ignored by a lot of companies though. I work on a business park (all offices) and some of the car parks are full. The M6 which was very quiet during the March/April lockdown is busy again.
I think the message has been flimsy. It worked in lockdown one but has been too wishy washy since then.
Thank you. That is good news.A very positive article has just come up on the Telegraph (behind paywall so I won't link). It is about about vaccine availability and it appears the UK has plenty.
