Billy Jean King Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 There robots anyway, same script every day. Anyone else having a problem recognising some of the no marks that are getting wheeled out at daily briefings? They’ll be down to the Under-Minister for Paperclips soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they live in a house covered in piss and shit just to avoid fines? I've read that South Africa already have these restrictions in place. Would like to know how that would work. That wouldn't and quite frankly couldn't happen, if it did, then you WOULD have anarchy, not to mention people dying of starvation. As said previously, it's not an airborne disease so the whole point of social distancing is to avoid contact with others where humanely possible and stop / slow the spread. There's really no rationale to have people locked in their homes 24 /7 and so long as the majority use their common sense then that really is all that we can hope for. As we stand just now, the majority of transmissions will occur at Hospitals, Supermarkets, Chemists and Workplaces, all of which are deemed to be legal and necessary by our Government, so I think people should be clear on this before blaming big Rab up the cul de sac for walking his dug twice a day or getting all uptight over Jimmy next door washing his car in his driveway. It should be added that the UK has a population of over 60 million so if there's the odd fuckwit and his or her mates making the news, then that really is quite a good outcome considering the other 59 million 999,000 are obviously adhering to the advice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course I can exercise in the garden . I walk to work and back so that's my exercise. I could take my kids out for a walk.....to the local shops and back. Kids are still going to play parks and doing there thing ( live in a scheme and its changed but plenty kids playing with neighbours kids ) Really irresponsible? I'm going to take the advice of the Chief Medical Officer over that of someone who thinks a kid can get enough exercise in a back garden, thanks. You do know your car can't catch Covid-19, nor are you more likely to spread it because you're a couple of miles from home, right? BTW, kids absolutely should not be going to playparks - that's already been stated very clearly. The risk of transmission through the surfaces they touch is an obvious problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Most of us can only go by personal observation. I am seeing a significant drop in ‘social interaction’ where I live. The streets are far quieter, people out walking are for the most part keeping their distance, and most folk seem to be limiting their shopping trips. There are exceptions, but if the objective is to minimise contact by 50% I think we are well on our way to seeing this happen. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it help matter to have us all passing on pavements instead, none of which are more than 2 metres wide? Closing parks would only make things worse, and it serves no purpose at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t the government advice that we should stay local?

Billy Jean King Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Surely all of that only goes to prove they are a couple of weeks behind the UK. Probability is they will be in our position soon enough. What's the point of trying to "prove" to yourself virtually every expert and world leader is wrong. We are where we are, this is what's happening whether you approve or not. Really struggling to see you point here. No amount of your cut and paste stuff is going to change things, utterly futile behaviour. Deaths per million of population in Sweden, where there is no lockdown, bars and restaurants still open, sits at just under 11 Its 18 in the UK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I think the car restriction is a bit bizarre as going for a drive even without a walk might be a good way to get out of the house and avoid contact with others. Nonetheless it’s surely what we are being told to do. Sure, but they specifically avoided defining what local is, and they near-as-dammit said driving to exercise is fine as long as you follow all the social distancing rules. My rule-of-thumb is a distance I could walk if I had to, like if the car broke down. I drive 2.1 miles up to Beecraigs and there's absolutely no way there's anything wrong, from any perspective, about it. My patience with the self-appointed guardians of rules they've made, have no basis in epidemiology and are not what the authorities are saying up has completely worn out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qos91 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Are people still letting their kids play on swings, etc? I work for the council in Galloway and all parks have signs up saying not to use the play equipment. Is this the same in other areas? Not sure how much of a risk they would be for picking up the virus through contact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine a 12 pack of toilet roll would last a ‘standard’ household for quite a while.* It’s bizarre. * deliberately avoiding specifics. Some lassie's got a tik-tok of her cat jumping over ever-higher barriers of toilet rolls. In the last clip there's about 35. Needless to say she's taking pelters and not enjoying it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
