Guest TPAFKATS Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 what is a 'tin foil hat video' please define? What makes you only consult 'experts' , is at a shortfall in your personal IQ? What work are you relying on that says shutting down an economy and keeping everyone in doors for weeks stops the spread of this disease ? And how can somone be an 'expert' if indeed it is an precedented incidence ? Many countries have adopted different responses to this disease , even ones that neighbour each other like the ones mentioned above but it seems that we have decided to copy China , one of the most repressive regimes in modern history , a regime with very unreliable stats to boot Do you know a guy called Andy who posts here? You might know him as Hiram? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TPAFKATS Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 I don't know if this came from the wet market, the bat eating, the virus lab worker or through the Chinese or US funding of the Wuhan lab to create it.Right now I don't care. We need to get through this current situation hope folk who have had it have immunity and hope we can deal with any second wave prior to a vaccine.

That may well be true but nevertheless one really does have to wonder about a CUNTRY that would vote someone of his Kaliber into a position of power, there might be some Americans with a degree of common sense..................but they are hiding pretty well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Police in Cheshire have been called to a single house 30 times over coronavirus lockdown rules being broken, it has emerged. Officers have repeatedly had to visit the property in Widnes because of groups of people gathering there for day-long parties. Now, after multiple fines apparently failed to deter visitors, Cheshire Police have slapped the home with a closure order — a legal device normally used to shut down troubled pubs and clubs. It means the property’s tenant will be committing a crime, and face six months prison time, should anyone else be found at the house in the next three months.

faraway saint Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 IMO the recent talk of easing restrictions has been a mistake. The daily numbers suggest we are quite a long way from any changes to the current instructions. The public being the public grab any slight change and already there are signs people are taking the "talks" as a sign they can start breaking the guidelines. With retail outlets already being given the green light, B&Q for one, to reopen this is taken as a sign the public can do what they like. There should have been no public talk from all government spokespeople about exit strategies IMO. The numbers do not support any relaxation, either workplaces or schools, for quite a while.

I'm aware of that, I used their "click and collect" scheme a few weeks ago. I would argue they are not essential and click and collect was ample, but the goalposts have moved as they are now open for day to day business. Yes they are using the same distancing rules that supermarkets are using but, IMO, they are not in the same "essential" group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, far from ample. dysfunctional from my knowledge. Told to come and “collect” people were queuing with their cars for 2 hours+ for the collection to be delivered to their cars in the car park.

That was down to so many folk not going to collect there essential items for a number of hours then causing a queue as those that came as soon as they were informed.

faraway saint Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Today's numbers down to 413 from a surprising 813 yesterday. I see Italy have had a very low number today, 260. That's the area we, IMO, should be in consistently BEFORE considering any changes to the current lockdown, which hasn't been as stringent as Italy or Spain.
