Social distancing......

[I am a reindeer]

People keep saying things like this, but whenever I'm outside I'm always amazed how well people are following the guidelines. Momentary slips here and there, and a certain number of people who have decided it doesn't apply to them, but by and large I think it's being well-observed. What I've found surprising is that the ones I've seen not following the rules are overwhelmingly elderly. Being a youngster I would have expected my fellow under 30s to be the worst at observing it, but that's certainly not what I'm seeing.

I noticed there were a lot of people in Middlesbrough today who weren't wearing their compulsory face coverings indoors, mind.

Maybe they were exempt?

Everyone is a virologist these days marrow.

I don't think you're far away
Boris central said early on we need to understand how it works and to who and we haven't...

 

[Macho]

The queue outside the terrace tonight was like a scrum.

 

[JAZZMANB]

They do one in one out here.

People still don't lap the place instead of going back down an aisle to get some milk.

It's like an episode of Victor meldrew .Nobody wants to do this shit but you do then some dick comes along . ...

49 is the turning point I believe you can look at the stats on the ons website. And that's people that die with covid and not of covid.

We've ripped a hole in the economy for nothing.

That’s me gone in May, bastards.

Went out for a couple of pints earlier. Distancing in place and working fine. Til the pissed bloke went to leave, bounced against me and another two people sat down on his way to the exit

It's definitely gone the journey in super markets mind. People keep their distance in the queue, then once in, it's fucked off. Mind, quite tricky given the width of the aisles etc.


Dunno like. Any big group all together it's usually young uns.

But aye, the elderly don't seem to give a shit

Find its the younguns hugging and kissing etc but us 50 ish are good when on the lash mate but your correct about the coffin dodgers tho, me personally have never liked anybody in within a metre anyways and this distancing is a doddle for me.

Utter joke.....

Please elaborate. I live in Washy which is the pox of the earth according to some. Have yet to encounter any problems with Social Distancing.

Granted I haven't been to a boozer yet since all this started

 

[Jakata]

We’re humans. We’re not conditioned to keep our distance from everyone for so long.

Must be one of the few humans who can't stand being in close contact with random strangers then

2 metres suits me down the grounds. But then I do live on Teesside

How is it a massive concern when hospital admissions are below 600 considering it was over 17 thousand at the peak? People have completely lost it over this, the numbers don’t add up.

45k people dying in this country alone certainly add up

Gov fudging when trying to force people back to work.

There was a load of people dying, now there isn't after a lockdown.
Simple, we should go back to normal as surely this will be a new normal that somehow won't involve a load if people dying by going back to normal again.

It's utter shite marra, logically thinking in the midst of a pandemic would you open up pubs to let folk get pissed when they could do that home. A load of fickin bollocks the whole charade.

Nope most died whilst within the lockdown period & actually the spike should have continued for at least another week when you look at the time frame but it just dropped off Utter horse shit bollocks.

Would you still say that if your partner or child was vulnerable and prone to die if they caught this highly contagious virus?

No. I'd isolate them/me. This drop in the economy will kill more than covid ever will
