Marshmallo Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) Jumping about and dancing while inhaling the recycled air of the entire street is a fitting solemn tribute to those who gave their lives in WWII imo.

madwullie Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I wonder if all the bell ends who have been demanding we use common sense to police the lockdown realise that had they just done, properly, what they were told, the likelihood is we'd be exiting the lockdown tomorrow in decent enough shape to contain the virus for the foreseeable. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mainly in care homes and hospitals now which is f**k all to do with people sitting on park benches, being too close together in shops or having BBQs. It's down to lack of PPE and testing. Also the predicted curve was always 12 weeks from the beginning of March so the start of June was always the target. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use public transport or prepare to move house instead. If there's one beneficial change that should come out of lockdown then it should be a decision to curb private, car use as a daily 'essential' activity and keep traffic levels as low to this base line as possible. Everyday car use should be made prohibitively expensive with tax hikes, while road space is cleared for other users and car parks removed from town and city centres. The enormous reduction in noise, CO2 and small particle pollution over the past seven weeks shouldn't be frittered away by a 'back to normal' attitude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former extrapolates to 1.7m cases, way more than the 360k recorded. I've been saying for weeks now antibody testing is absolutely key for dictating future policy. There is no point in maintaining restrictive measures to try and prevent future waves if large swathes of people are already immune. Without meaning to give credit to the government as it wasn't planned (or actually, maybe it was), if antibody testing shows there have been millions of infections in the UK already, there will be long term benefits to the UK from completely failing to contain it, vs the likes of New Zealand who contained it extremely well, but now face having to keep their borders closed for quite some time to prevent the inevitable.

Do you think folk will really want to go back to how things were? I doubt it, a huge number of folk have got used to working from home. Companies will be delighted to downsize their office space. I have already agreed to work 2 days a week in the office when normality returns I know a few people have also done the same. But agree it would be great for people to shop locally and not use their cars but even a 20% reduction would be a great platform to push on from 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
