No, it is still pretty lenient and easy to live with, compared to some other countries. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Dave T Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 5 hours ago, Robin Evans said: Rovrum isn't a pleasant town and its rarely as you describe. I had to nip to pharmacy and as I drove through town there were many folks milling about.... kids and families in groups in the park. I live across from a park and that too has been almost at normal occupancy... I despair. The lock down is half ar sed and not policed anywhere near proactively enough if we are to combat this virus. Its relying on voluntary compliance and "woolly" conditions as to what lock down means. I accept that mate. But the pubs were empty. The shopping precincts deserted. Restaurants closed. Parks should be busier than normal, people are not going to the gym, not walking to work etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe @Dave T made the same point, it is a few people and some newspapers who are giving the impression of a mass movement against the lockdown.

That's right, in my view, against a faint impression that all lockdowns are the same, policed in the same way. I think that the enforcement practices in France would not be accepted here. Indeed, the police have more or less said that by their proclamations of policing by consent. I expect that enforcement and conditions in Spain, Italy are much more severe than here, too.

It is a big segweg, but there are articles today warning that there might be no effective vaccine ever. Again, no shade of grey and I very much doubt this is the actual information the journalists got. A vaccine will be here sooner or later, but as humans vary, it will not be 100% effective. Eventually a vaccine will be ready for everyone, which is to get the herd immunity, but that is to lower rather than eliminate the transmission rate. Nothing has changed, but they get two big simple stories rather than one vague one.

We will, I am sure. In a few years, this disease might disappear to a childhood sniffle. People living in London seems (I don’t know) to be as big a risk as major events My understanding of where the UK was in 2008 and where it is now has been an eye opener though. Pandemic preparedness was clearly sacrificed during austerity. Whether that was sensible is a judgment call for another thread.

SSoutherner Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I see the the delivery of 84t of PPE from Turkey has been delayed (no info given as to how or why) Even if just for a few days that is a disaster with some trusts down to 24-48hrs supply https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-52343912 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a strange one. I wonder if he's had a delivery of something and the person delivering the something has been carrying the infection? Another example of that kind of spread is the US navy ship that had an outbreak on it but apparently it hadn't docked anywhere for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedford Roughyed Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Swearing alert!! Fake but funny. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
