If pubs can open and no one is social distancing I don't see why everywhere else cant.

All the vulnerable people I know who were not advised to shield are not going out anyway, so judging by this very small pool it will not make a change to economy. Letting people travel, letting various venues run at full capacity, letting people work without sd in place would.
We cannot carry on in a way we are doing now. Either we kill the economy and kill a lot of people with it, or we try to save the economy, kill vulnerable people but save other people. I am very glad that I am not the one making the choice.

Do you ever walk into a room,
and you know there’s been an argument because you could cut the tension with a knife,
but you really only came in for a hobnob so you walk awkwardly to the cupboard, get your biscuit and leave mommy and daddy to fight...

Do you think that right now Boris, Hancock and Whitty might be having the exact same conversation in their watsapp group?!
sorry just trying to lighten the mood, the thought made me smile
Yes!!! And then Rishi pops in amongst it asking if anyones been to the cinema @coconochanel cracked me up!

Local lockdowns remind me of class detentions, when 1 or 2 people are titting around but everyone gets punished.
I think long term, assuming this does go on for a while, the government need to to come down harder on the 1 or 2 that are titting about. So they get the detention as it were and everyone else who follows the rules can carry on as normal. I know it takes man power to enforce fines but create the jobs and people will fill them.

I'm talking about now we can't live a normal life ,if we go against the advice it's setting us back I'd like to think they'd have some kind of treatments going forward for my kids sake if not mine ..

We laugh...but this is probably how they’ve been making all the big decisions

And yep totally agree with you on lockdowns.

I think so much of my frustration is because of the govt shit show. If we had properly funded services to crack down on people ignoring quarantines and a proper track and trace system, we can be back to some semblance of normal safely.

I am more than ready for this to be a distant memory now. Honestly, my mental health has hit the skids big time since lockdown. Restrictions are being loosened but the damage is done. I’m with those saying that we need to get back to being a fully functioning society. I will never be one to downplay the severity of Covid, I’ve seen what it does to vulnerable people and it has been devastating, but existing without really living and with the threat and worry hanging over your head day and night is simply no life imo. Something has got to give.

And yes, I still wash my hands until they’re raw and maintain my distance as much as possible, before anyone asks.

to this ,they're out in force with £60 on the spot fines here for no facemasks but then people are complaining because not everyone has to wear one ..They can't win either way..

Yes 100%. They have been told by countless people they need to scale up the track and trace and have it working effectively before schools/offices etc reopen fully. Yet 2 weeks before schools open and it's just as shit as it always has been.
Start fining people and punish those doing wrong instead of punishing an entire county/town.

Does anyone do the yougov surveys? Today I had one asking about masks for children in secondary schools amongst other things. It's never something I have seen come up on there before, so I wonder if they're testing the waters for it?

I work for an LA with low numbers and our local public health team is doing door knocking to track and trace to ensure people isolate, and stay isolated!

So many people are speaking sense on here today! We can’t stop living because of this virus and we will get back to normal life! How can we possibly live like this forever? There literally would be no jobs left. Just because some of us are trying to get back to normal doesn’t mean we don’t wear masks or wash our hands. If you are vulnerable then don’t go out it if scares you that much and if you are willing to stay inside until a vaccine that’s totally your choice. On the other end of it we’ve got people losing jobs and not being able to afford food to feed their families and worrying about keeping a roof over their head. Should we be ok with all the people who are in this situation? Should we be fine with the mental health crisis we are facing? Sick of people making us try to feel bad about wanting to get back to how life used to be.
