Edit: agreed on the initial origin though. Edited September 13, 2020 by stuartbert two hats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyrulion Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Worth noting that they haven't published the laws enforcing the rule of 6 that apparently starts tomorrow. Utter incompetence, you can't fine people if you haven't actually made it illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyT Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Lovely weekend down in Cornwall on my friends boat. It was nice to have a break from the wife and children for the 5 of us! It was very relaxed down there and great to be able to chill out. I actually forgot about covid for a few days, a reminder of how normal life used to be! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re kidding, right? I didn't say I wanted a full lockdown, I've said it's surely on the cards now. Given that when Leicester went into lockdown they had 135 cases per 100k people, the precedent indicates that Bolton would have to go into it now too as they have 192 cases. Whilst it might be 0.1% of their population (citation needed?) it's clear the current measures aren't slowing the spread of infection therefore I would think stricter measures are needed to prevent infection growing further.

The cases are rising yet deaths are not. 156 days now since peak deaths. I personally think the damage caused by any further lockdown would be far worse than anything the virus could do. In fact, I would go as far as to say we should never lockdown for anything ever again. Not even if there are thousands of Godzillas roaming the streets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even if there are thousands of Godzillas roaming the streets. whilst that may be true we currently have only a small proportion of the cases we were having at the peak ... estimates were suggesting 100,000 cases per day at the peak if I remember correctly .... and fortunately we aren't near those levels as yet but id rather we didnt get back to those levels either .... I understand a balance has to be achieved to protect mental health and other health services but aren't we better prepared and able to keep these things functioning now ?

I don't think there will be a lockdown again, but might be further restrictions...which obviously some people will ignore because they know best.

st dan Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) The main issue I have with reimposing national lockdowns is that when the first one was being eased, the true numbers of those infected at the time was probably still more than they are now. Not sure the whole ‘R’ rate can be trusted at all. Edited September 13, 2020 by st dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzim Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 My significant birthday is due in November. It is doubtful that I will be able to celebrate the way I had planned. So if I set up my speakers in the front garden and handed out cake and bubbles to my neighbours (social distance of course), would anyone here disapprove. My taste in music is excellent of course. Seriously my mental health is suffering and I need to hope there is an end to all this. Sorry not to add anything of value to this topic, no insights, no political points, just personal feelings. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
