When will this shit end?

[Fuzzy Afro]

So presumably Hancock’s guys are briefing the Times and Sunak’s guys are briefing the Telegraph?

Lockdown won’t work while schools and non-essential workplaces stay open 

[Copperface]

"The restrictions could see everything except nurseries, schools, universities and non-essential shops close until Dec 1"

 

Good to see that non-essential shops will be kept open.........

I know of people still being forced to offices in tier 3 areas, which blows my mind really. They can mandate what they want but it's all about compliance

So now the 2 week circuit break would not be enough....needs to be longer. Oh dear.

Big spike in deaths expected on Christmas Eve

Which is why they should’ve done it weeks ago. They’ve blown this big time.

Reckon they’ll relax it around 15 December. Boris will do a briefing in a Santa hat

with the lag time we could still be in a pretty bad place in mid December.

You don’t have to report on every single newspaper.

[Fuzzy Afro]

Guardian as well

No way things will open up again this year once they close.

Wed looking like it’s gonna be a day of highs and lows maybe ... still fuck all help for the vulnerable ... ah fuck em let them work ... 

[jparx]

Lots of very grim reading today. Anecdotally it seems much worse now than it ever did during the Spring. I knew one person who had Covid back in the Spring - now I know about 10 that have had it recently/currently including 3 separate family members (all okay, just feeling really rough) and I’m currently self isolating after being in contact with someone. Might just be an outlier, but it feels out of control.

One of the biggest things for me is people’s behaviour hasn’t changed with the new restrictions. People, in my experience, are openly ignoring them. The tier approach doesn’t work and the government needs to be more heavy handed with clear guidance ASAP to stem the utter shit show we’re heading towards.

Who’d have thought sharing every single newspaper wouldn’t actually be helpful.

Its not just here. People aren't going to follow a second lockdown to the same degree.

I hope you’re gonna be ok and don’t pick the virus up mate.

Yeah I agree I’m tier 1 and don’t really see people keeping 2 meters from others etc. It hasn’t been helped by the governments messaging at all.

They have not got a clue. 

To be fair it's not like there is a play book for this situation and it is fairly fluid. 

There were a little dammed if they do and dammed if they don't with the regional approach. If it worked happy days if it didn't they should have gone harder quicker.

Same here. Second wave been much closer to home, although maybe that’s because we’re testing more this time?

Cheers dude! We’ve got through a week of isolating so I think we’re out of the woods. Definitely the closest to home it’s been.

The only thing there is that if it doesn’t work then hospitals fill up, it’s a very risky strategy. For sure it’s a difficult situation but they haven’t helped themselves at all.
