Local lockdown

So what if people have a local (I dont by the way) and they turn up on their own for a pint and it just so happens that the other 'locals' have also turned up for a pint on their own? Is that socialising with people outside your household or are you just having a pint on your own alongside some other people having a pint on their own?
 


when they had local lock downs in the north west, how long did they last for on average?

i guess as long as you don't sit at the same table you're not in their definition socializing...

We sat outside a pub yesterday for one quick pint and the bloke came out and told one of our group he'd been standing up too long out of his chair and had to sit down 🤷‍♂️
 
Agree 100%. It’s a convenient Whitehall solution to cover up the complete lack of a functioning test and trace system.

It’s no coincidence that these local lockdowns are largely happening in Northern, impoverished communities with low wage employment and overcrowded housing.

And people here are defending it, astonishing.

If you voted for someone, it then takes a very strong character to admit you were wrong and the people you voted for are in fact incompetent buffoons. Easier to just double down and blame someone else.

Its still actually going for the majority of Manchester. They’ve taken some parts out of it and upgraded Bolton but the rules are still in place for the majority. No one takes any notice mind
 
Imagine posting an article and hoping someone wouldn't read it because it said the exact opposite of what you were trying to claim it did. :lol:

“The relation of covid-19 mortality risk with age is slightly steeper than it is for normal actuarial risk, but for ages over 45 the lines are fairly parallel, indicating that the average risk of catching and then dying from the virus were roughly proportional to the average normal risk over the same period.”

Aye whatever mate.

You have to pretend they aren’t there, obviously.
 
If the COVID deniers would like to hoy up their degrees in maths, epidemiology, medicine, public health etc I’d love to see them.

Please lads. Show us your credentials.

Not denying it at all, I’d just like to see an actual plan that works instead of this cack handed approach. “World Beating Trace System” my arse.
