Exactly. It’s not rocket science.

You ever thought about a career in politics?
You’re right though, it’s just like when I go to see my mum to deliver shopping, she stays in the conservatory, they’ve opened the back gate before I arrive so I don’t have to touch anything, I then stand in the garden and have a chat for 10 mins and usually take one of my kids with me so she can see a grand child too. Simple common sense.
You see, this is where you’re falling into the trap, as outlined quite nicely by @paulchapo above, that they can’t itemise every single scenario and therefore they try to appeal to people who have more than 1 brain cell in their skull. When I deliver shopping they are behind a glass door in the conservatory and I’m never closer than 5 metres, so it’s not a case of me having an interaction where I need to worry about social distancing as it’s the equivalent of driving past someone on a pavement as I have glass between us and over 5 metres.Don't ask me,you said it was clear lol
Absolutely agreed. I think we've done a pretty poor job overall. I don't blame anyone in particular - no-one's been trying to be incompetent and no-one's been negligent or bone idle. I just think we've had a very, very difficult set of circumstances to deal with and have made some poor decisions.
Ha you just broke two rules,they are very clear about the garden and I person meeting one person at a time,it is nonsense but that is the new rule,it is then you need to tell it is common sense not me!

Common fucking sense.
But breaking all the rules as per hancock
Asked if someone could meet a friend in their garden, as long as distancing rules were adhered to, Mr Hancock told BBC Breakfast: "It's not necessarily more safe than meeting in a park, and we said that should only happen in public places
Plus only one person should meet one person at a time
Of the 23,709 confirmed reported deaths so far in hospitals in England of people who tested positive for Covid-19
(53%) have been people aged 80 and over
(39%) were 60-79, NHS England said.
So 91% of all hospital Covid-19 deaths have been people aged 60 or over.
(8%) were aged 40-59
(1%) aged 20-39
(0.05%) aged 0-19.
It's called statistical modeling where you throw in all the standard behaviours and the risk of each where the goal is to reduce R below, say, 0.75. And you draw the line where the combined distribution's upper quartile of R is at 0.75.Does the virus only infect people who have face to face chats for 15 minutes?
What about 14 minutes? Would that be ok?
The government's rules on this are fucking absurd.

Agreed. It's what happens when you drive the thing with UK beuracrates. I predicted it would be typical British muddling-on shit way back and the only way around it was to totally flatten the management structure and put the armed forces in charge of communications. It was the only way to get strategic and tactical flexibility into the mix.Absolutely agreed. I think we've done a pretty poor job overall.
