Because Boris says so.
I am at a loss to understand why public houses are now being shut in England at 10pm. No doubt the same thing will happen in Scotland.
How will this stop the spread of the Covid-19 virus.
It is more likely that the pubs will be busier than normal during the hour between 9pm and 10pm as people clamour for their final drinks before the 10pm shutting time with more chance of the virus being spread.
Because Boris says so.
I'm gonna make sure I'm in bed by half 9.....to satay safe.
Nippy is now saying the same.
Nippy is probably too young to remember how busy it was when the pubs emptied at 10.10pm after the ten minute swill ended.
It is likely that the streets in places like the centre of Broughty Ferry will be busy on a Friday and Saturday evening after 10pm when all the pubs and restaurants are forced to shut.
In my opinion there is more chance of the virus spreading then than if the pubs and restaurants were left to close at their normal time.
I do not understand why the politicians accept as gospel what the scientists in the UK say about how to deal with this virus.
Initially it was reported that there would be 500,000 deaths from coronavirus in the UK then they changed their tune and it was from memory I think going to be 5,000 deaths.
In my opinion these scientists and health ‘experts’ do not have a clue how to deal with the current Covid-19 virus which will continue for years until eventually it dies out and is replaced by another virus.
People throughout the UK are slowly getting fed up with all these decisions by politicians and eventually they will decide that they have had enough and rebel.
What will Nippy and Boris do then. Either declare Marshall Law or for once listen to the UK people.
Sweden should now have 125k deaths using the same modelling.....they don't.
Spain shud be virus free after having the strictest lockdown in Europe....they ain't.
Peru had a similar lockdown to Spain but are barely any better off than Brazil.
Politicians cannot control a virus, it's like king kanute turning back the tide.
Not all scientists agree with the govt advisers a significant minority who have dared to speak out don't.
And that's the thing - they can't control a virus and they know it, so instead they control the people. I've said from the start of this whole thing that it's no more nor less than an exercise in social control. Unfortunately the biggest proportion of the population can't see it yet because they've been brainwashed by all the scare mongering that the government(s) and sycophantic, over cautious medical and scientific 'experts' are responsible for. They have some people thinking that this virus can simply jump out and attack you as you walk past it - but only after 10pm or if you're not wearing an entirely ineffective face covering.
Quick question, how can any medic or scientist be an expert in something that that they've never experienced and have no real reliable data on? Are they experts in assumption based on guesswork? I think they are and the infamous R number is proof of that.
