I think the concept of social distancing has completely gone out of the window here in just about every city, large and small, with what's been happening the past week. Looters don't seem too concerned at keeping 2m apart although at least they are mostly wearing masks.
Many people are getting complacent there's no doubt about it .
Weeks of lockdown , extremely good weather , bank holiday weekends , the death toll falling , the easing of restrictions and the Cummings affair .
Although my own view is that if someone uses the Cummings affair as an excuse to do whatever they want they are completely stupid .
Personally I won't be taking any chances as much as I'd like to go to the coast , I won't be going ever again if I catch this thing and pass away will I .
Nowts changed for me , this thing is very much still with us and it wouldn't take much for it to hit us again and a second wave .
We could visit my partners mum , visit my step daughter , partner and grandson who we haven't seen since the middle of March .
Not happening as much as its difficult .
We'd sooner over estimate this thing than be complacent is our logic .
New national safety instructions now being broadcast on TalkSport Radio. Don't know if it applies to toffs, government advisers, etc though , as previous instructions obviously didn't!
Last bit is... "Whatever you do, DON'T go visiting Uncle Monty in the Lake District"
Wise words - they have must have been reading Millersmad.
I appreciate all that, but you've just explained why this system isn't effective in its current form. Those ****agers aren't even going to get tested because they probably won't feel ill with it, and people who can't social distance because of their job won't be in a position to give information on people they've been in contact with.
My question is, under what circumstances would you be within 6 feet of someone for 15 minutes, outside of your own family, and be willing or able to give that information to tracers? If the current inactivity is anything to go by, hardly any circumstances at all.
