COVID-19 — Coronavirus

I have been all over the area in the last 2 days. Everywhere is packed and most seem to be taking the locallockdown as a joke. Very worrying

I think it’s going to be hard to enforce these restrictions now. At the time of the first outbreak, nobody knew who was going to die from this. It was all unknown pretty much. Young people now know that they are extremely unlikely to die from this and that is enough for most to just get on with it.

I was reading some stats on the ONS site earlier and saw that deaths in people under 45 total 600 out of the total number with the vast majority being over 65 and the majority of those younger ones will have had underlying health issues.

I can see why younger people are now prepared take the risks they are taking. It’s not helpful to the older population but at 18 I’m not sure I would have been compliant.

I can’t see how lockdowns etc are going to stop this and it won’t be solved until we either find a cure or a vaccine.

This pretty much nails it. My thoughts too.

At the start of this it was very effective for a good reason, non essential travel wasn't allowed, and we were only allowed out once per day for exercise, that's the only way really, however draconian it is, it works.

Nobody wants that obviously, but if it was threatened in high risk areas, with serious messaging and targets on cases/deaths in a region, it might drive the majority to comply again.

I said last week, the messaging on this is worse than weak, so much so that many aren't even hearing it, and even if they are, they are choosing to ignore it.

Mice are almost impossible to infect with covid 19, and those that get it get it very mildly.

I think covid lab mice are given ace2 genes to make them susceptible

This track and trace is a farce just been wales most pubs just had a register on the door to sign in and a track and trace app that didnt work on most of the older phones.then at maccys they just asked for name and number absolute madness!
In most of the cafes people just walking in willy nilly no track or trace in sight.

Close pubs at 22.00hrs? They don't know what they are doing. How about a circuit breaking moonshot to kick things off? Or better still fuck off to Poland for a few days and beat quoro. Pile of shite. Long haul pandemic anyone?

Been working tonight. Every pub and bar was choca block inside and out with 18-30s. Didnt see many grown ups about really. Those were out may as well have been on top of eachother. A lot were students but in the fancier places it was just as daft. No social distancing or apparantly any fucks given. There was a Wetherspoons in the middle of it and this week 8 staff there have tested positive including one in hospital with it. What the fuck is up with people?

younger people have been through lockdown long enough and now they simply don’t care - they want to go out and enjoy themselves. It’s the harsh reality.
