The number of infected people here is much higher, I don't understand how you can't grasp this. We're still adding new infections at a nominal rate as high as it was at the beginning of lockdown.

Because if you let more people come into contact with other people they have more chance to pass said virus on.

It's basic stuff

Well I would like to know some recommendations about how to provide for people both at school and at home, or how to teach science effectively with social distancing measures. I agree with you it's annoying but it's only happening because your man is being weak over getting rid of the twat

It doesn't work like that Dom. That's not how holding people to account works.

I know it's what Johnson and his adoring fans want, but he can't just tell people to stop asking him questions. Maybe if he actually answers some then people might stop asking it.

He was grilled on it all day yesterday, he answerd the questions (albeit wrongly as he should have gone) let’s ask questions about how we move forward, the media are a joke

He didn't answer any questions. Even his hand picked committee chairman mocked him for it

Deaths have decreased significantly as have cases, ppe has now been ordered and we have 100 contracts in place, testing is high over 100k however the 5th point about another peak which we might not have met yet, it’s risky

I read about them arriving in GC but they were taken away like in Fuerteventura.

The whole travelling and flight thing is confusing, like you say Binter are increasing numbers but the news says to go to second homes, work or to check on family etc but people are flying to Tenerife to get flights back to the UK. Phase 2 was supposed to free up travel but maybe it will be Phase 3.

The whole communication thing has been awful, the rules really are not explained well and they contradict themselves.
I can collect my friends in my Jeep but we have to wear masks and gloves, but when we get to the bar we can sit together and remove them and sit together for as long as we want, but if we go to the beach after we have to sit apart again. The rules don't make any sense, lets just hope that in Phase 4 "The new normal" we can understand what the hell the new rules are.

Let me know when you go to Las Palmas and if i'm not working and got some spare cash i will come up and meet you both.
Click to expand...

Exactly about the rules contradicting phase 0 was easy, you can go out an exercise between 6am and 10am or between 8pm and 11pm for an hour only upto 1km from your property, over 70's can exercise between 10am and 12am or between 6pm and 8pm. Children under 14 can exercise between 12noon and 6pm, as long as no more than 3 kids, with one adult. That was simple.

Rules (LAW in Spains case) for driving from the begining was 1 person per car You couldn't take your wife shopping and stay in the car whilst she did the shopping, even if she couldn't drive. I know many people who were fined in the begining, they soon learned. However 2 people from the same household were permitted to travel together for a doctors appointment provided the passenger was sitting in the back.

Phase 1 you had to respect you exercise times but was also allowed to go to an outside bar, business were allowed to open as long as they gave out appointments, such as hairdressers, which gave you permission to be out outside your exercise times, but not bars, no appointment needed. Totally contradictory.

I went for a drive last week to see what was open, Puerto del Rosario, our capital was heaving, or rather the estate alot of out of town larger retailers are (similar to alvis retail park with B&Q), couldn't get a parking space outside Ideal. Just wanted some cement to do a little job whilst not working.

However now in phase 2 we can exercise now when we want, but over 70's still restricted to exercise between 10am to 12noon also 6pm to 8pm. We have been advised to respect the over 70's timeslot and avoid going out during this time.

Now we are being told to wear a mask at all time in public.

Yep, as for meeting up in Las Palmas, sounds like a plan. Same here we have to check finances, we may go by ferry or plane, it's usually plane and hire a car, but the wife keeps say we need to go by ferry next time so we can fill the car boot.

You can be as optimistic as you like mate - it won’t make a fucking difference. You should be able to go back to some kind of normality (as should we all) but you also have a right to not have your health and that of your family put at risk due to his incompetence and inability to govern and lead.

You’ve got to put aside your rose-tinted glasses. He is the biggest danger to your optimism for a brighter future right now.

This is a shambles. Whitty and Vallance should be able to answer a question about public health.

By not answering, they are actually taking a political decision to back Boris and therefore Cummings and his breach.

Big enough to maintain social distancing and room cleaning could be reduced to only on check out. Even that seems easier than what he is suggesting in schools with no guidance

Some fucking bedwetters on here.


Why do people want to still be sat screaming about how we're coming out of lockdown? It has to be done. And its proven all across the world this fuckers disappearing.

Remember. Lockdown was to prevent an unmanageable peak. Not to eradicate the virus.


Seems people have forgotten that

Gagging Whitty and Vallance live on tv is remarkable.

That, combined with them being sent home the other day and not doing a press conference, tells you all you need to know about what they think about the Cummings situation.
