Coronavirus in the UK - news, lockdown and discussion

I'm surprised Spymaster hasn't posted this Cyclists ignore UK coronavirus lockdown rules as they ride together in the sun

what do you expect from regular folk when the Health Secretary comes out of self-isolation after 6 days because he thinks he feels better

 

[Plumdaff]

Chatting to a mate earlier. He mentioned it's speculated the large number of cases in the Cardif / Gwent area was perhaps down to a rugby international and the Cheltenham festival a week or so before the lock down. (was in relation to the post about the gathering at car park's on prev page.)

Locally lots of talk about air pollution rates, types of employment and demographics also being possible factors.

Yes, I have just been reading a mention that the Cheltenham festival, which had 250,000 people close together, over a few days may well have infected lots of people. Perhaps that in part explains Gwent.

I'm just utterly fed up of cunts taking the piss, we need a proper lockdown, now. Enforced with fucking guns. No going out. Full stop. Don't care where you live, city or countryside. One person only to go to the shops. Fuck your exercise, fuck your oh so important walk. Stay indoors you stupid, stupid cunts.

probably tomorrow, from 8pm onwards

Do you not think that the WHO might be being pragmatic, what would be the point in telling people to wear masks if they can't get any and if health services even are struggling to get enough?

No, I don't think they moderate their advice based on market conditions.

Too fucking late. The weather tomorrow will have idiots out in their thousands.

 

[xenon]

But TBF I do take smokedout point above. I just don't want to see it being made mandatory and as Plumdaff describes, healthy people potentially being ostrosized for not wearing them.

Totally agree, £60 fines should be increased to £500.

Second offence, and send the fuckers off to prison camps, there's plenty of Pontins sites to use.

Yep. I was at a couple of fairly crowded gigs, the weekend just before Cheltenham. I was mindful of being in a crowded place and had obviously bought the tickets last year. It did feel a bit uncomfortable.

 

[smokedout]

All this talk about the general population moving to wearing masks is pointless, there's not enough for front-line workers.

True, although there seems to be opinion from some experts that anything is better than nothing, including a scarf or homemade mask.

 

[weltweit]

I had to pop out for some essentials and there were a few people with surgical masks on, but none of them seemed to have pinched the wire frame around their noses so they may as well not have bothered

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

What we need is crappy, shitty weather. Pouring rain, freezing cold winds.

The biggest park in the area is now closed tomorrow

Brockwell Park to be closed today (Sunday 5th April) because of ‘unacceptable’ behaviour

After over 3,000 people visited Brockwell Park yesterday, Lambeth Council has announced that the park is to be closed today, Sunday 5th April 2020.

Got a nice garden? Lots of space in your house? Nice views? Great mental health? Safe home environment? Jolly good.

No, I live in a second floor flat and not being able to be as active as I usually am is utterly shit. But, you know, slightly less shit than thousands of people dying that don't bloody well need to.

Weren’t you listening? It’s got to be guns, and not just any old guns, but fucking guns. Obviously we will need to have loads of police on the streets everywhere to make this work, and let’s face it, additional vigilantes to make up the numbers. If we can kill enough of these so-called ‘ramblers’ they can’t possibly catch any virus. Pandemic sorted!

 

[Looby]

One of my colleagues still thinks it’s ok to drive out to the forest and spend the day walking. She even called it self-isolating on Facebook!

I assume you've been out and about checking who has and hasn't been behaving themselves?

fucking hell bees.

It has yet to explained how me riding my bike out to the middle of nowhere and back, not touching a single thing I didn't bring with me nor coming within ten feet of a living soul, is supposed to kill thousands.

Im my experience the vast majority of people are behaving themselves as they've been asked to. At the risk of stating the obvious, shooting people would actually increase the death toll.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

fucking hell bees.

Just pissed off with cunts that fuck things up for everyone else as per bloody usual. If I had a rifle I'd be taking potshots from my window by now.

You'd only really need to shoot a few at random, then the fear of potentially getting shot should keep the rest indoors

There are people who need to be out and about. The rest of us - myself included - need to stay the fuck inside, thus meaning the former group can do what they need to do at a lower risk. How is this so bloody hard for people to grasp?

 

[existentialist]

The weird thing is that I can see both sides from here, but I can't agree with either of you

Who at? Which ones are selfishly flouting the lockdown, and which ones are going to their shift at the supermarket? I struggle to tell the difference.

I wouldn't take reports in the rightwing press at face value tbh - they were savaging the british public only last week for eating too many toilet rolls, and it turns out that was 99% bullshit. Pound to a piece of shit this is too.

There's a place in Edinburg still open to buy ammunition. HTH.

I can literally see them out of my window. Groups hanging out on the grass by my block, someone had a sodding picnic thing going on the other day.
