COVID-19 — Coronavirus

It needn't be as bad as you portray if people would look after others

That’s true to a point mate.

If only it was that simple, and black and white. None of it is and everything has to weighed and balanced, pros and cons, look at bigger pictures. Then a decision made. I don’t agree with many decisions but can see there are 2 sides to these things and whatever is decided will bring different problems one way or another.
You only need to look around the world many decisions we make others have made other conclusions, but many have also come to the same conclusion about how to act.
By the way aren’t you arguing about getting back to normal because money?

I am yes. But unis have taken on students and should now be teaching them properly not via Zoom or whatever other app. Not having them in halls of residence but classrooms. Life had to go on imo.

Anyway I’ve got my opinion, differs from most on here I accept, but not discussing it further tonight. Peace.

I find it astonishing how many are still banging on about this herd immunity and Sweden. Sorry but other being as thick as two short ones I struggle to come up with a valid reason.

It’s mainly people who refuse a comparison between Sweden and New Zealand. Even though they said we should look at European Countries like any other nation across the World.

I believe in keeping bars and restaurants open as long as they comply With the hands, face, space Rules btw.

Yeah blame it on the government rather ourselves.

Wow you've fallen for it big style.
The government propaganda machine obviously works.

Then we should not have let them go there then but money, as usual, talked.

True to a point mate but many students were board off their Tits at home and were looking forward to going to their Uni towns / cities

I think there should be some teaching / learning going on in the open air where there are less risks than being in the classroom. Many tutorials could be held in parks near Unis to reduce the risk.

I can balme the governemt and some citizens.

But ultimately at times of national crisis the government should lead, this isn't happening and they are to blame for the mess we are in.

I do too, but unfortunately, it's those that aren't complying that are forcing those that are to close.

If I ran somewhere that was complying, and I knew somewhere that wasn't I'd be kicking up a huge fuss, but the people who go in those that are not complying, often do so because they don't want to give details in case they are asked to isolate, so the good ones aren't being used as much, and the bad ones too much.

It's one the many ironies of the pandemic, people want pubs/restaurants open, but are reluctant to give their details out just in case they have to make a sacrifice by isolating, so go to places that don't give a shit, forcing the good ones to also shut, so that they can't go in any.

There is some teaching going on, my son is doing mainly internet, but has done some small group seminars in the library in small groups. He has also said some courses are still doing some lab work etc, again in small groups. Plus by being on campus he has access to the library. Not saying he couldn’t work from home but he’d still need to travel up occasionally. If he was home he’d still be going out meeting people too, and if he got it bringing into home to us.
I would guess the outbreaks wIll fade out and it was the initial convergence from all parts of the country after a low restriction summer that caused the initial spike.
