Frank Cannon 812 Posted October 31, 2020 Not a surprise is it given the general attitude of Jo Public regarding C19. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul C 75 Posted October 31, 2020 Its not Joe Public its the test & trace which has failed. In theory, this is the solution: 1. Get the baseline cases down to a low enough level so that test & trace works properly 2. Aggressively track the new cases (via test & trace) so that restrictions are very localised and targeted, leaving the rest of the country in relative normality The system hasn't worked though, so the restrictions were great swathes of the country rather than being focused and localised. 11 days to get a test result back is useless. They were hoping and crossing their fingers but in the meantime its gone up and up again (viruses do that....) so another harsh national lockdown is needed sooner or later. May as well be sooner so there's a glimmer of hope that Xmas isn't affected, because if it runs into Xmas about 0.05% of people would actually comply with a "don't meet in households" restriction. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank Cannon 812 Posted October 31, 2020 Really it all boils down to the virus doesn't have any obvious symptoms for many so, many don't take it seriously, it's more an inconvenience to their daily lives. If it simply caused a couple of large pussy warts to appear on the end of ones nose with ZERO other health effects, I would put my pension on the fact that things would so very different. ....social distancing would be taken seriously rather than mingers breathing down my neck at supermarkets et al, no house parties, no public demos, no piss ups at the pubs, the feral mask less would be a rarity, people would actually wash their hands (fuck me a lot don't even after a visit to the bog) etc. And I guess more would sign up to TNT as opposed to a minority that have at the moment.

Frank Cannon 812 Posted November 3, 2020 Main agents around here will still be open, workshops as normal, sales for click and collect.....can't see much changing to be honest. MOT stations open too. Only go to work if can't work at home Sort of a 'dry' plastic lockdown then. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
