Re: What Are We, An Afterthought??
Being an (unwilling but long term) Diabetic, I believe my condition makes me at more risk of serious consequences. Which ever way you view it, I have lived the best part of my life, but I am still unwilling to trade the remainder by coming out of isolation too soon. I think the whole thing is being rushed, we are still having too many deaths as yet, and we may get to regret our rush.

Re: What Are We, An Afterthought??
I'm concerned about Mrs mart going out.She might meet someone who doesn't want to keep a distance away by going out into road (footpaths are narrow where we are). She can't do it because she's in a wheelchair, so no control over social distancing. If the other person doesn't move away while passing, then there's close (almost touching) contact.
Not anyone's fault. Just grumbling because she still can't go out even though the government says she can. We reckon it's too risky.

I will not use public transport or go indoors other than my own house, and I will only shop in those places that are adhering to the distancing rules. Regardless of what anybody says.

Surely it should be done in stages. Even SAGE, the scientists involved, are stating this is a very dangerous moment.
Methinks we will not be taking any risks yet and staying put.
How about you?
There is government guidance coming out about this shortly. In there it will provide the information about how to go about things safely.

I jus looked up on worldometers and they give the figure for
yesterday at 1,600 odd newcases!!
What is going on?
Have polititions got influence with the publishers of data??
Worldomerers figure is listed as confirmed cases, maybe your
figure is a projected figure?
Load of crap lmo?
Donkeyman! 😟😟

Although there are no directives to wear a mask, it's up to the individual to decide. And even if you don't believe the hype, respect someone else's space. At the end of the day only you are ultimately responsible for your wellbeing, no matter what Boris or anybody else says.
It's got nothing to do with attitude, people are what they are and if you are realistic then Spitty is right. You can't force everyone to think and act like you keezoy. As long as people don't break the law they will do whatever they want.
Whilst l cant speak for spitty, l also understood to mean he will
cotinue to exercise his natural caution as he has always done?
Which l think can only be a good policy?

Maybe l should add 'apparently'!

Oh shyte! what happened there?
