Because people should be allowed out providing they social distance

And? How does that equate to FPs post suggesting we should stay in lock down until a vaccines found?

 

[David O'Day]

You literally have the mindset of expecting everyone to stay in their houses forever till we find a vaccine

No we want people to be sensible until the r rate and new cases is at a more manageable level. It was likelytobe only a couple more weeks but now itsbfucked

I had a mate call me last night, the one who tried to kill himself and I still haven’t seen in person since. He’d read the papers and was convinced lockdowns over and wanted to know why I wasn’t coming over for a beer. He wouldn’t accept that we aren’t allowed right now, says he knows loads of people who are going out. Was getting personally offended when I said no.

What do you do with that?

find out where they're going?

BBQs and house parties apparently. “Pubs will be open next month”. He’s not, shall we say, the most aware person. But there comes a point where saying “common sense” just leads to people looking at the majority and taking a “well if they can why can’t I?” Approach. In his words “we’ve done this lockdown for weeks and it’s made no difference so what’s the point?”

Anyway, more bothered about trying to explain why I couldn’t see him without triggering the stuff that made him want to top himself.

How do you know it’s fucked, we’re on the way down in terms of trends why do you always look for the bad in everything

 

[skybluetony176]

Don’t let Grendel know he’s already called me irrational for even considering that and stated my son is more likely to die on the way to school.

Cheeky c**t

When I heard him say that I knew that I’d definitely be making the right decision keeping my kids of school.

Because the trends are basically flat if you take away outliers like bank holidays.

We are now getting 3500 plus new cases a day which is liable to increase as more people venture out.

The r rate was increasing pre loosening as well so it is likely this will get worse.

Ffs you are an arse kissing cap doffing moron

We’ve plateaued except for the R rate which is rising.

Yep, and you should think yourself lucky you have that choice. Me and the wife are both key workers, therefore our youngest has to go 3 days a week while we are at work. If we had the choice, we'd keep her off too.
Our lad is in year 10. Williamson announced it's year 10 that will be back in school first. I'd rather not send him, but how can I tell my daughter it's safe enough for her to attend school but not my lad?

I’d be in the same boat but my wife has to shield. Feel for you.

Of course the cases are increasing as we are doing more testing, if you actually stop and think for a second you’ll realise the more tests done means the more cases we pick up

More deaths than last Saturday too isn’t it?

Testing trend has plateaued as well.so he is talking bollockss as well.

Last Saturdays numbers were for bank holiday Friday. So effectively weekend numbers. Can’t compare them really.

Good point.

So the government that delivered a plague in care homes are now telling me that we owe it to the children to get them back to school. Yeah okay.

No I literally don't you ignoramus. You'll be the one speculating why the number of infections has gone back up in a week or two

Well it does because he’s moaning about people going outside or shopping, who’s to say they aren’t social distancing?

I am you flid, walking 4 abreast down a high street, families with kids in tow?

Not quite accurate though. If Trump had have done it in real life he’d have accidentally given himself a Hitler moustache.

I see there’s a petition to get Piers Morgan sacked from GMB. The gammon heads darling is now public enemy No.1. What a bunch of snowflakes.

It's quite scary to be honest. As NW pointed out earlier politics has now become so.partisan it's frightening and people aren't bothered about seeing politicians held to account.

We're going down (very slowly) because of the restrictions that were in place. They've relaxed them at a point where the R rate is literally just on the cusp of being acceptable. So if you remove those restrictions that's got it down what do you think's going to happen? You must've seen the busy tube and buses from Wednesday and that is down to the message to go back to work. Not the people on them because a lot of people have no other choice but to use public transport in London. And now they're bringing back in the increased congestion charges etc it's only going to get worse.

I'm willing to predict come the end of the month cases, deaths and R will all be heading in the wrong direction and it'll be traced back to easing of lockdown.

But due to the ideology of the Tories and their obsession with the economy they'll dither AGAIN over putting the restrictions back in place and we'll end up somewhere close to where we were.

Which is surely an argument against relaxing it all?

"OMG you want that to happen to score internet points and because you loooooove labour and corbyn"

That will be seen within the next couple of weeks.

Williamson seems hell bent on getting schools open whether or not it makes any sense, seemingly because other countries are doing it. Not willing to play that game Gavin

Last I saw was the Mail reporting that evil unions are denying us the chance to be heroes.

Great opportunity for the unions to get life changing changes to workloads and sustainable jobs in the teaching profession
