That said, I don't see why people should be obliged to wear a mask, or do social distancing, or any of these other measures when there are a stack of treatments on the table to deal with this illness. If individuals choose to take extra precautions after this current wave is toast then that's up to them; it should not be enforceable by law though. This is correct. Was that all you wanted to add ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People do not stick to distancing or mask wearing properly. This has been going on for some time, nevermind opening other places up. The day the snow came badly here in dundee was the first time I felt it was a proper lockdown as the shop was pretty quiet. Soon as snow has started to clear it is hoaching... However none of this is anything new to anyone. I don’t think you are following me, or are just ignoring the point I’m actually making. Social distancing in supermarkets is irrelevant as other than occasionally queuing due to numbers inside, distancing in supermarkets makes little difference to normal life (arguably better than previously in some respects IMO). The point is that when governments say “restrictions to stay for x amount of time” they don’t clarify what restrictions this means, so you have people assuming this includes social distancing, which if it is the case would stop almost every aspect of normal life from happening. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted the tories are the experts in being mendacious however they're all it. They all twist the facts to suit their own agenda or take on things. Its been the same since time began and nothing will change that. Its like the old sketch, when do you know a politician is lying?

Rugster Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Busiest I’ve seen our Tesco and the high street for a long time today. Still didn’t need to queue to get in though. Probably busier because I’m usually out a bit earlier for the shop I think rather than any other reason. Amount of folk standing gassing at the aisles was infuriating though when trying to get to stuff on the shelves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpaty Lviv Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 The general public didn’t have a sense of awareness in supermarkets before the pandemic and it certainly hasn’t changed since the start of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jan Vojáček Posted February 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2021 6 hours ago, Theroadlesstravelled said: It’s encouraging to hear that people realise that human life is more precious than getting a pint and a package holiday in Magaluf. I'm sorry to dig up a post from a few pages back, but this really got to me. Losing out on a holiday doesn't bother me. I couldn't afford to go anywhere this year anyway, and I don't drink. So a pint isn't an issue. People need things to look forward to though, and at the moment it feels like there is nothing positive on the horizon. I cannot stomach the restrictions in their current (or similar) forms continuing for a great deal longer. I've been able to visit my grandparents once inside since August. My Papa is going downhill with his memory and it's brutal having to talk to him through a window from the garden (which I technically shouldn't be doing anyway because he lives in a different local authority). My Granda lives on his own but was an active member of the bowling club and played 5s with his pals once a week - as well as using the pub to meet up with old work colleagues and so on. He hasn't been able to do that since Boxing Day and now spends six days a week on his own. I don't have a massive social circle, but I've not seen any of my pals from football or who I went to Uni with (barring the guy who I co-comm for on SonsTV) for a year. My week consists of working, watching TV, going on a walk and sleeping. Every single day is the same - apart from the weekends when I'm not working, so just walk, watch TV and sleep. I didn't mind that at first, nor did I mind when my pay was cut for a few months, nor did I mind that I've lost out on overtime that used to make me a decent amount of extra money. But the idea of carrying on with this routine; week after week after week until at least Autumn fills me with a deep feeling of dread. A few months ago my Granda phoned me to say he felt like he was "just existing, not living". That has stuck with me. As soon as hospital numbers drop to more acceptable measures, restrictions should be loosened. As soon as everyone over 70 or with an underlying condition has received their second dose, restrictions should be loosened. And so on. Apologies if your post was solely about international travel and I've just gone off on one here btw. Once I started typing I just couldn't stop! 44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
