I expect I’ll get shot down in a ball of flames and buried in a pit full of sh1t, but I’ve been really upset by all the “I know better” people trying to justify why it’s ok for them to go out for non essential trips as if they are above the rules, or, more importantly, above the virus!

If it’s non-essential, then stay in!

There can be debate about what constitutes “essential” etc but basically stay at home as much as possible. Any reasonably educated adult will truly know if the journey they are about to make is essential. Going to the shop to get food if no delivery slots available, yes. Going to the shop to get chocolate? No.

Going for a drive, on your own, on empty roads? No, that’s not essential.

Going out for exercise for mental well being? That’s a tough one, and considering lock down in some countries means just that, it’s is still a privilege. So be sensible and as said in another thread, be mindful and keep distance.

Even just going out for essential trips can spread it, the idea is to reduce the risk!

This fukcing virus is going to keep spreading if people keep these lax ideas of what lockdown means. I can see them getting stricter if people continue to take the p$ss!

Ironically people are telling me some proportion of the people are elderly, who are advised to stay in.

Apparently it killed over 500 in the uk yesterday and doubling every 3 days, that’s 1000 deaths a day by the weekend.

Potentially 1000 families losing loved ones A DAY.

1000!!!!!

No one knows the true facts (otherwise they’d have a cure already), and isolation might be bollox, but who are we to say we know better, and if it is true, then what right have we got to flout it and possibly risk spreading it?

I’ll stand here now and get shot down. At least the virus won’t get me that way. Oh, but what about my wife who is on chemotherapy, maybe that is making me over sensitive?

Fecking selfish pr1cks!

Concurs.

Although, I suspect the opinion-nazi's will be along soon to give you a good hiding!

:lol:
 
Unfortunately though, it’s not happening.
People are clearly going to the shops more often than normal as an excuse to get out .
A lot of the people out cycling or walking would rarely be out as much as they are now, so more exposure to risk despite social distancing.
Today’s figures in reference to cars clearly confirms this.
If they can’t go for a quiet drive on there own, they will look for an excuse to go to the shops and give the car a run out.
 
Doesn't offend me - why are people so f :censored: g stupid?
 
If you watched this evenings daily Gov't update they said whilst public transport journeys have droppped significantly, car useage has risen, I suspect people are getting fed up and think its not an issue being isolated in their car.

Local Authorities are busy identifying suitable places to act as morgues, convention centres, local showgrounds etc, as the Gov't has said its going to get worse and now is the time to stay indoors until the peak is reached and then for a few weeks after, so I can't see this ending anytime soon, 4-6 weeks at the earliest.

Some Police forces have been criticised for being over zelous in telling people to go home if they don't have a valid reason to be out and about, its becoming a Police state etc, well I hope it does, they should be puttng up road blocks in and out of all major towns and cities, aided by the army and dishing out hefty fines, going out for excercise should be banned and you should only be allowed out for one shop a week and to help an elderly relative etc.

Hundreds of people are dying each day, most likely these are people who caught the virus some weeks ago and hopefully the peak will be soon so the sooner people keep indoors the better, if they can't, they should be made too.

Completely agree.
I have been saying it here for a while now but you still read about people out cycling and hill walking where its quiet.
What does it really take to make people listen and take it more seriously.
Coming Monday it seems I will be off work for possibly 12 weeks as the building I work in is no longer going to be open as its not essential anymore. There has only been a handful of people in the building but they have been moved somewhere else. I was asked to move also but I have expressed my concerns about mixing with people I am not normally around and possibly taking the virus home with me and passing it to my wife who has asthma.
My coordinator has basically said that following guidelines I must also isolate for 12 weeks. Not happy about having to stay off work but its the proper thing to do.
Someone in a school 3 miles from me is now in an induced coma suffering from the virus. Nobody is entirely safe.

If the public transport around the country is anything like here the buses went on to a sunday service last week so people may now have to use their cars if they need to get to work at certain times. As far as I know the city centres have waived parking fees also.
 
Well said and well written. I don’t know why people don’t think it doesn’t apply to them. Stay home. Do your bit.

I agree with you entirely. We live in a village with no facilities just a few houses. So far we’ve been lucky and managed to benefit from a couple of delivery slots from ASDA so no need to jump in the car. We have two dogs and are fortunate in being able to walk out of the gate at the bottom of our garden and into the fields. We go for one walk each day across the fields and rarely see anyone else. I am seventy five with heart disease so really don’t want to take any chances. I am pleased to say that fellow residents in our village seem to be following the government guidance. Sadly there will always be idiots in society. These are the selfish ones or those who would only have one brain if you gave them one.

Get a grip will you :roll: i'm no gym freak & i don't run or cycle but why would someone exercising increase virus contamination to others ?
I go out daily for approx 2 hrs to exercise myself & my two dogs , my sole aim as it was before this lockdown is to avoid other humans ( i am self diagnosed misanthropic )

The big issue i see here is the massive grey area the government have created .

Why should i sit behind my 4 walls frightened to venture out in case of police intervention or worse still forum scrutiny :cry: when its ok for thousands to cram themselves on the tube each morning + evening ? or watch countless Amazon deliveries being made to my neighbours every day ? that's just two examples , i could list many more equally ridiculous scenarios i know for a fact are happening each & every day .

I could actually be at work , i'm a sub contractor self employed with work to go to but i made a decision last Monday evening to follow the government advice & distance myself by staying home & reducing the amount of contact i have with others to a minimum .
If that means nipping out for some some supplies ( including chocolate , Guiness or anything else that some deem as not a necessity ) in whatever car i choose taking whichever route i choose then i will but i'l do it with the very minimal of contact with others & with careful planning to minimise the number of outings .

The pompous self righteous attitudes of some on here right now is starting to wear a bit thin , life will go on afterwards & it needs to go on during , we all have opinions on the situation & that's good but don't judge everyone who dares move through their front door the same .
Its about common sense & consideration , pity there isn't a lot of either right now .

If you were that concerned why not be off without pay or on stat sick pay ?
My lad has a pregnant wife at home , he chose to be off from last Monday not wanting to take home potential virus ( his company expected him to go in )
You can't have it both ways

Then why post anything in the first place if you don’t like anyone’s else’s opinion, which you clearly don’t. Doesn’t make any sense.

Travelling to a job that seemingly wasn't essential leaving yourself potentially at risk to taking home germs to your asthmatic wife
That 1 person you were working with only needed to come into contact with someone else out of work etc etc etc
No big issue but you can't really go throwing your ideals at others when you yourself are doing the exact opposite .
Last Tuesday you had the option , you could have stayed home & taken SSP from day1

Simple because in going out unecessarily (I don't think excercising outside is necessary and can be done indoors) no matter how careful and sensible YOU might be unfortunately others aren't and you are just increasing the risk of catching or transmitting the virus. The amount I read on local community forrums of people going out and observing social distancing and being approached by others who don't give a flying F. Lots of stories of youngers going around spitting at people for a laugh. What is becoming apparent is how contagious this virus is.

The people you have to think of are the poor sods working in hospitals having to deal with this mess, all your being asked to do is only go out if absolutely necessary or an emergency, not a big deal if it saves lives, you have the rest of your life to live.

I was working in a school, opening it for the kids of frontline workers. I was able to stay away from everybody while there. The number of kids have now dropped and they are moving them to another school. I now do not need to be there and so I wont be.
I hope this explains it for you.

It's not that I don't not like anyone elses opinion at all, far from it. This is a 'Forum' after all. Look up the definition of that word if it doesn't register.
It's when some self-righteous miserable old fkrs here decide to go off-topic and turn it into a personal vendetta is when I find it particularly hilarious! That's not empassioned or informed or intelligent discussion, it's just lame mud-slinging, tit-for-tat, my dad is bigger than your dad BS just for the sake of it.
You replied twice to one of my posts in the Darwin thread John, I suspect because I think you regretted that your first reply wasn't strong enough so you thought you would join in a day later and take another swing at me just for good measure. Lame.
I put you in with the rest of the limp-wristed handbag-wavers in wanting to join in the group-pummelling of people brave enough to stand up and give an opinion on something!
Why don't you come up with something original of your own instead of running at the back of the pack?
:headbang:

Brilliant , you don't avoid this germ by avoiding people , it can be on any hard surface for days
The whole situation RE keyworkers children still attending schools is another crazy situation , if that's not a revolving door for germ spreading then what is , , , a possible direct connection to the front line of the virus :cry: only in Britain :cry:
