Why is an 82 year old who has been told to isolate for 12 weeks taking the dog out a walk on a narrow bridge anyway? Sadly some elderly people have no other option but to go out (carefully) and hope that they're ok, a little bit of compassion and understanding goes a long way Marshy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The restrictions haven't been tough enough and too many people dgaf, so they'll have to get more draconian before things get better. Would love to be wrong here. You must have more evidence than the government then, do you think politicians make these decisions on their own ? They take advice from experts, not Facebook -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is pretty much what every employer is doing. You’re being naive in the extreme if you genuinely believe the above. It is absolutely not what “pretty much every employer” is doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 9 minutes ago, Billy Jean King said: The CMO today quite categorically stated we should prepare for the current restrictions if not stricter to be in place for at least 13 weeks. A bit much to be guessing what restrictions will be wasted after 1 of them. If that's true then the stockpiling will go into overdrive, if you're no fast you'll be last. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They take advice from experts, not Facebook It's what happened in Italy. If the rates don't drop they have no other move to make. And given a fair proportion of businesses seem to still be insisting people come work we'll get non essential businesses to close and we really really mean it this time in a week or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure English Bulldog jingoistic bullshit. The way he's talking about doctors, nurses, cleaners, carers, porters etc...as if they've signed up for a mission of no return. Saying they have to wait to get tested. I f**k off mate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
