Do you think that's good or bad? It doesn't matter what anyone says, you seem to just want life to be normal. Like the First Minister said today, if your life feels normal in any way at the moment, then you're doing it wrong. Stop being daft and stay at home. I’m not being daft though. Being daft would be piling into a Greenock pub, a crowded Scotrail train, not washing my hsnds and gobbing over passers-by. Put your big brush down. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being inside is shite, but going out is not essential. Open a window, go to your garden. Whatever. Someone going for a walk in Scotland isn't going to matter a jot when we have people crowded in trains still commuting to work. There's no point in stopping people drink driving while they can still buy knives and murder people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I have family and friends in Scotland and I would like them to do well out of this. You seem to have little regard for other people. You won't even sacrifice your game of golf. Step back and say that out loud. Had enough trying to reason with you. I’m now stepping back to say out loud ‘I’m away for nine holes in the fresh air well away from anyone’.

Granted you don't know what job they do, but that really isn't helpful at all at the moment. They probably don't need to go work, as in the work they do isn't essential. But they get paid to do it and the people who pay them aren't telling them to stay at home, until that time they will keep going to work. What we need is the government to step in and make it mandatory for business to close. New Zealand got 25 cases and within a week they've closed their borders and are about to go into lockdown. We're nearly 3 weeks on from our first death and we're still going to the pub and work every day. It's actually scandalous how we're being led at the moment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your game of golf essential? You won't give up a game of golf in a global health emergency on the same day as the First Minister said on live radio that you should. That's daft. I'm sorry, but it just is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you miss the bit about me having a permanent underlying foot condition that required treatment at Monklands, and the wearing of special trainers and insoles to manage the pain? The bit about keeping moving and my circulation going actually helping? Apologies, but I will STILL BE ABLE TO GO OUT WALKING UNDER FULL LOCKDOWN TOO.

Mind and try not to touch the flag with your bare hands. Probably wipe down your clubs too. Watch what you touch on your essential trip out the house.

mathematics Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Email from my work late last night to say they are shutting the doors at 5pm today until further notice. I've went in to get a bunch of stuff that I'll need in order to work from home for the foreseeable. Shame, I've enjoyed driving to work in 20 minutes rather than the usual hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as I don't come into close proximity with anyone, or touch a suspect surface, there is no danger of infection. It is perfectly possible for me to do that. I have been able to go for a half hour walk and sometimes not even see another living soul, for the last 15 years. Other people may be less isolated but proximity is the thing. The situation isn't normal. You want to make it more abnormal, I want to make it less, despite what Nicola says. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venti Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Think some of these boomers think they are invincible. Just continuing life as normal. Won't be told what to do by Gen x/Millenials. Their arrogance will literally be the death of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really mixed message coming from the government Mon to Fri its business as usual but stay in your house at the weekend. The line will be that people should have used their cars to go into work instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it was made clear to Malaysians that exercising was not ok, compliance in general with the movement restrictions went from 60% to 92%. Think about that.

You move in your home. Where I am it wouldn't work , doesn't work - we are on Day 2 of lockdown and people are already ignoring the rules i.e. 2+ family members going out together - passing through security with no more than a friendly wave -no permits shown, nothing. The culture here is that rules are to be obeyed by the poor and therefore, if the security guard is poorer than you then he/she cannot stop you going about your business, nor will he/she try to. Lockdowns work great in obedient cultures, otherwise not so much. Strangely enough the ban on alcohol sales was strictly implemented from Day 1 with no exception - go figure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
