VladimirMooc Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 5 minutes ago, Marshmallo said: People in the UK are looking at this as "how can I minimise the inconvenience to my day to day freedoms" rather than "how can I minimise, within reason, the spread of a deadly virus". I don't know if it's because we have a selfish society or if it's because the disease seems to abstract. I had an elderly relative in hospital with it who thankfully is on the mend back at home, but even then I can't see him so it doesn't seem any different to any other ailment he's had. FWIW I'm going out a walk every day so I am being a hypocrite. “Within reason” being the key phrase. While some people on this thread think it’s unreasonable to go for a walk or run (whilst adhering to the social distancing guidelines) in case they - it would seem - lick the ground, I think that falls well within grounds of reasonableness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I think most people are following the latter view, but we have different interpretations of 'within reason'.I don’t think we do. I just think people are being deliberately obtuse for the sake of getting bites on a football forum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We live in a society which votes for a Tory government and wanted Brexit done. What do you think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does your wife need to go shopping with you, just so one of you can sit in the car? Any chance of answering the question?

Why can't you go and do the shopping? Why does your wife need to go with you? I’ll tell my wife that she’s not allowed to go shopping because some no mark on P&B says so. Actually, upon reflection, I won’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Nothing sums up boomers more than them treating a trip to Tesco as 'date night' during a global pandemic while screaming "AM MARRIED AL DAE WHIT A WANT". -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much doubt you have ever been in a serious relationship. I reckon you’re not the only one on here that both these things apply to. Anyway, I’m off to do some more power washing; I am sure I will have much more of your nonsense to read on my return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogged down in the minutae of, is this right or wrong. MSM and social media encourage it. I've no doubt , there are halfwits and selfish uncaring folks, whom I would say are in the minority, most folks are trying to do the best they can in very difficult circumstances. What we don't have to doubt is: The systematic stripping and devaluing of the NHS by the Tories over the last ten years. The fact medical professionals are afraid to speak out, due to threats by the government. The fact that UK government has supposed to have had plans in place for such a pandemic, and are clearly lacking. MSM being nothing short of a Tory mouthpiece, rather than holding them to account. Well, OK, but hey, how about the sh*te and fakery that floats around Twitter, and Facebook etc ? I do recall the old saying that every newspaper is tomorrow's fish and chip wrapper. However, within that, I've found the Guardian online to be doing a decent job of flagging up and pursuing the awkward questions that need to be asked.

Melanius Mullarkey Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Cycled along to Morrison’s last week. Fucking horrendous. Inside the shop it was like a normal Saturday. I made my excuses and left. Today I’m cycling along to Asda to see if it’s any better. Ill let you know later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
