COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Gabriel]

by ‘July/August’ I stated.

Most airlines are resuming soon.
Football returning already when most said it wouldn’t, no crowds for now but in a couple months ?
Long line outside shops - might be the case now but again in 2 months ?

the speed of returning to normality indicates it’s likely we’re gonna be pretty much back to normal in July/August - not sure why that’s controversial.

I think that we may have to distinguish between being open for business and people resuming their 'normal' patterns of behaviour. Airlines may well be open and ready for business by July, but the bigger question might be whether the public is ready to resume flying if there is even the slightest fear of lockdown; an important point in that regard is that any future lockdown would likely be immediate. Similarly, shops being open will not necessarily equate to people shopping in the same numbers and manner as before.

In the Netherlands, I see people shopping to buy specific things but not to browse, and when it comes to holiday intentions, most I've spoken to are intending to stay at home this summer or drive to Spain/France/Italy.

The fear surrounding airports and flying may be a major obstacle to travel returning to normal this year.

So can we meet family living in different houses from next week.or just friends?
Hard to keep up with these rules.

Yes mate.
From Monday, groups of up to six people from different households can meet in gardens and private outdoor spaces provided they "continue to stick to social distancing rules” by staying two metres apart.


But they will not be allowed to stay overnight or go indoors other than to gain access to a garden.

"Fragile state" and "Cautious easing of lockdown" seem to be phrases totally at odds with what is actually happening.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Loosely translated as 'why the fuck are we opening up?'. This is quite clearly a political decision, not a scientific one. We're fucked.

Christ man, do you ever let up?

Christ man, do you ever let up?

I'm not wrong though.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

I'm not wrong though.

In your opinion, of course.

 

[twosips]

In your opinion, of course.

Yes. Doesn't take an idiot to read between those pretty fucking obvious lines though. Vallance pretty much spelled it out.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Yes. Doesn't take an idiot to read between those pretty fucking obvious lines though. Vallance pretty much spelled it out.

I'll politely disagree with the last two.

 

[Eds]

Yes. Doesn't take an idiot to read between those pretty fucking obvious lines though. Vallance pretty much spelled it out.

But we knew this was going to happen a few weeks ago so how does that fit with your conspiracy theory
