Reply With QuoteThe Police over here raided 20 odd pubs in Cork on Thursday night & found people in one. Should have named & shamed the pub.
Also wee b@stards in Dublin spitting on shopping trolley handles.

Jesus Christ, this ghoul would have you six foot under for the price of a pint

Yeah, I was wondering how anti-social behaviour in the UK would translate in the time of a global/national health crisis...Originally Posted by irishpete
The culture may have been better in 1939 and even 1665 (great plague)! Hope this proves not to be the case

I know what I would do with them, but snowflakes wouldn't allow it

As I said on another thread, the main factor helping this virus to spread is ignorance. This is a perfect example.

The first think it's translated into is stockpiling of essentials. We have been told that if we are sensible there will be plenty for everyone, but the general attitude seems to be "F@ck the rest, I'm looking after number one".

‘At the first sign of any symptoms the whole household should self-isolate for 14 days’ and ‘Don’t stockpile’ to me seem contradictory instructions.

Again it’s about being sensible chap. Two weeks worth of shopping shouldn’t be stockpiling. And there’s still online deliveries and assistance from others.
Trouble with stockpiling is that it’s more contagious than covid-19 partly for the reason above and also for the reason that even sensible people don’t want to be left short.

It's too late by then. In the previous week you've already exposed many to your virus, and several of them will go on to expose many more.
Additionally once you've got symptoms some will go on to require medical care and hospitalisation goes on to expose many more.
The sooner folk get to grips with the above the more likely it is to be over sooner rather than later.
If everyone, and I know it is not practical, could self-isolate for 2 weeks the virus will have gone, it can't survive that long without our help in spreading it. But too many will needlessly and selfishly keep the thing alive and we need to be quicker with testing kits.
As a country we've been too slow to act and like a small fire which could have been snuffed out with a blanket it's been allowed to spread uncontrolled before we've decided it's time to do damage limitation.

Yes, it's a disgusting thing to see.
There's no sign of this where I am, which has a much higher rate of the virus. People seem to be behaving with a lot of decorum and self-restraint.
