O/T:- Coronavirus Related Breaches

[60YearsAPie]

Greater Manchester Police have said there were 1,132 coronavirus related breaches between Saturday and Tuesday. That included 494 house parties - some with DJs, fireworks and bouncy castles – and 166 street parties!

The force also had to deal with 122 different groups gathering to play sports, 173 more gathering in parks and 112 incidents of anti-social behaviour and public disorder.

These idiots, who think laws and advice does not apply to them are fortunately in the minority. Add similar breaches up and down the country though and there’s an alarming amount of people who don’t give a to$$.

As the whole purpose of the lockdown is to try and keep the number of hospital admissions down so that the NHS is not overrun, maybe instead of a talking to, or a fine, these people ought to have their right to health care taken away. Let them get their ‘mates’ round to look after them if they get the virus, and access to intensive care? Forget it! If they don’t give a to$$ about anyone else, why should anyone else give a to$$ about them?

I think this was always going to be the case in the so-called Democratic West v countries like China (and a slightly lesser extent, Russia) where they have 100% or 95% control over their populations....the Aussies have had to physically cordon off Bondi beach and are managing to keep a remarkably tight lid on their infections, parts of the USA are still fully "open for business" as the public demand their rights to free movement....it's weird...Democracy has it's downsides and this is one of them

It's difficult to disagree with that idea from a natural justice point of view, but fortunately for them this country is a compassionate and forgiving one that believes in trying to teach people the error of their ways rather than leaving them to rot, which on balance is probably just as well.

Unsurprisingly a lot of attention is paid to the minority who break the rules, but overall the UK population has adhered very well to the lockdown since it became a formal instruction rather than a request. In a society such as ours it inevitably takes time for people to adapt to the idea of following advice or instructions, compared with somewhere like China where obedience to official messaging is programmed into people from birth.

Certainly where I am the vast majority of people are following the rules. I've only seen a couple of groups of larey youths apparently refusing to do so, which is not acceptable but probably owes more to boredom and youthful exuberance than malice. The Police are out in strength in their cars so they will get collared soon enough!

here in Cyprus you have to fill in a form before leaving home stating time leaving and the reason for leaving i.e visit to Pharmacy ,supermarket all shops but kiosks and supermarkets, chemist, doctors, shut., if working you need a form signed by your company
plus we have a curfew over night from 9pm - 6am,local and bases police stop many to check if no form or good reason fined € 300 no hassle
think its more strict here than UK if anyone arrives when allowed 14 days at government placement centres stay healthy if you can

I said from the outset that groups of young people in the 15 to 20 age cohort are most likely to form threatening and lawless groups. This must have been foremost in politicians' minds when they reluctantly closed schools.
I wish I could be more optimistic but we could be in for some very tough times with issues on the horizon that we haven't even given air time to as yet.

We still have a few dick heads but for the most part people are playing their part. A VERY smart move here was returning citizens have been isolated on arrival in hotels with guards making sure they dont go out which has pretty much removed the type of secondary waves some countries have seen. $1,300 fine if you go out for unessential trips and get caught. Most importantly the grog shop is still open. Government so far has done a very fine job.

Tory cabinet ministers not following their own guidance too.

It's those young-uns though.

Social and economic. The lockdown can only ever be a short-term solution and I don't envy the Government (any western government) the decision of exactly when and how to phase it back.

Yep, round 'em up, put them all together and leave them in some remote spot. Sorted.

Edit: could make a good TV reality show - Love Island meets Hunger Games. Last one standing gets shot.
