Are people really intending to follow this? It’s clearly an absolute nonsense. Think for yourself. If Matt Hancock told us we needed to poke ourself in the eye once a day to reduce covid risk there would be a solid 30% of the population who would jab themselves furiously and shout at those who didn’t.

I'll follow the law parts of it, but the bits that say should instead of must I'll take it a day at a time. Going camping tomorrow, for example. If the kids want to play with another set of kids I'm not bothered as that is technically allowed as not socialising in a private garden.

Social distancing scenes in Peterlee Asda tonight in an attempt to grab a 20p pack of pineapple chunks...……. Seemingly this is acceptable but visiting family isn't........

Binned asda off in March. Even at the height of it, social distancing didn’t happen in there. Morrison’s and Sainsbury’s is a lot more sensible

I know. On the radio today saying they are running at about 40% and making a loss. If people think they’re not allowed to go then it will get even worse. The gov really should come out and clarify things

It is an absolute disgrace.

They want punters to avoid pubs but wont tell them to shut. I dont think I will be taking the advice. I'm happy to meet people for a quiet beer. Do my bit for landlords.

It’s people who think like you that are making this situation worse not better. That’s the route of this problem, not my ‘emotional attachment’ to not killing people though selfish self entitlement.

Meanwhile in the real world, 14,000 fewer people have been referred for urgent lung cancer tests since March. And that's just one example.

These are the deaths within 28 days of a positive test from earlier in the year. They went from single figures to 1000 a day in a four week period. This is what happens when the virus is allowed to spread exponentially. There are some on here advocating we return to normal. This is what return to normal is likely to give us. This is what the current restrictions are there to prevent.
