People have been following what the governments have been telling them - and the instructions and advice have always been far too late, far too half hearted and far from being what the scientists have been advising them/us to do. It isn't hard to understand why so many people just don't follow the rules. And why so many of them and their relatives and friends are being picked off. They are mostly making their own minds up now, which can be construed as being" sensible enough". Thinking for themselves... After all, if that was good enough for Dominic Cummings... Typical response of the public failing to take ANY responsibility. The virus doesn't spread when the government make a decision, it's spread by people who are NOT been doing what the government tell them. More so down there in London who, as usual, seem to think they are immune and can do what they like. Head in the sand just about covers this tragic opinion, sadly driven by a political viewpoint rather than the real truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covid in Sydney: New restrictions announced as outbreak grows - BBC News Indeed. Virtually back to normal there. Restrictions on foreign travel and proper quarantine if you do go abroad would be a small price to pay for everything else being ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australia's most populous state has announced new restrictions for the Greater Sydney area in an attempt to contain a growing outbreak of Covid-19. Household gatherings will be capped at 10 people and hospitality venues at 300 until Wednesday. Residents had already been told to stay at home. The cases were found in the city's Northern Beaches area, which entered a five-day lockdown on Saturday. Since then Sydney residents have rushed to leave the city ahead of Christmas.

Restrictions on foreign travel and proper quarantine if you do go abroad would be a small price to pay for everything else being ok. While I agree that tougher controls of flights in/out of the UK could have helped it's, IMO, a massive red herring. The numbers are comparatively low and many people who have been abroad have said they feel safer that at home. The combination of errors by the governments and the general public, slowly but surely showing more and more non compliance, are major issues. The goodwill factor has been eradicated over the months and, again IMO, the latest restrictions will see more and more people throwing caution to the wind. Also yesterdays announcements have overshadowed the vaccine, which will increase over the next 3-4 months and start to show a reduction in cases and deaths. PS It should also be mentioned the utter lack of consistency from so called scientists and experts who have fed the government and the public utter guff.

oaksoft Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 There are reports that the UK government are talking abut putting all areas under tier 4 until EASTER.

You seem to have a problem that people can disagree with the restrictions and can comply. What don't you get that the sentences highlighted are entirely plausible? As you are quite happy spreading the virus I wouldn't expect you to understand. You've got the senile Londoner on your side, who, if you read his rants, has completely lost the plot, simply, agaoin, blaming the government when his fellow Londoners are drenched in the virus. PS Even more amusing you agreeing with the forum loonball, well done, almost as low as you can go.

Bud the Baker Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Came off the night shift and onto the M8 and it was choca - as many cars as pre-lockdown for 7ish. OK I know there might be a lot less car-sharing than before the pandemic but the roads are nowhere near as quiet as they were in April.
