The media got to love them, story of people sunbathing after months of no heat keeping to the guidelines naturally all over the papers,but nothing on billions under house arrest world-wide--morons.

I was walking down a country lane and heard one person outside his house saying to two people passing by in conversation..."I've lived here 30 years and I've never seen so many people walking by"

I too wonder how what the exit strategy is ?
How will they decide for example it is safe for the monarch in her 90's to meet dignitaries and the public ? |

They could start by opening garden centres and the tip!
At least let people do some gardening or diy to pass the boredom. Social distancing* can be observed. Enforce people to wear masks and gloves to gain admission. |

whispering ...had wondered myself why that wasn't possible ... with the distancing of course
garden centres could be monitored the way supermarkets are millions of plants going to waste |

Looking at the map where the hotspots are. If I was in Somerset and west to Cornwall I’d be pretty miffed at the lockdown.
The hotspots are often close to airports and other transport hubs. |

The locals in Cornwall are already up in arms about the second home crew coming with all their germs.
Most social media virals start with the cool kids in the conurbations, or travel well across the pond. After a few weeks, your Auntie Heather in the lake district has seen most of em and is sending them back you. |

Looking at the map where the hotspots are. If I was in Somerset and west to Cornwall I’d be pretty miffed at the lockdown. I am. We are. But anything other than the same terms as the rest of the country would lead to the rest of the country converging on us, and ruining it. When the three weeks is up on Good Friday, we need either a maximum 7-day extension or the current supermarket system being extended to other businesses. What must not happen is an automatic further three-week extension under the current terms. If they do that, the population is just going to take matters into their own hands. The SNP have basically ensured that that would be the outcome with the way they've okayed Catherine Calderwood's behaviour. |

- pity that option hasn’t happened already. It’s working well with supermarkets. |
|
By:
Totally agree. But a fortnight ago that wasn't necessarily foreseeable. Nothing wrong with going too far at first, as long as they change tack when the evidence is there to do so, as it is now.
The danger is that the whole population* can see the supermarkets model works, and could easily be extended, so there'll be real ructions if they ignore it on Friday. * Except for people on Twitter, obviously. |

 looks like the sunbathers are now the evil party ... cyclists and joggers getting angry  |
|
By:
It's just being sensible about everything. Sunbathing in an open space with members of your own household is much less risky than exercising along a narrow path..... or boarding a plane....or working in a crowded warehouse so people can still order from ebay.....or allowing people to go to work on the tube, train or bus just because they can't work from home.
Of course, it has been picked on because it's a luxury rather than a necessity, but is unlikely to be at the heart of tackling the continued spread. The general consensus in the medical world seems to be that the virus dissipates to harmless levels with sufficient ventilation. Although nobody really knows. |

flat dwelling sunbathers getting a raw time ...
the joggers and cyclists looking down on the sunbathers quite literally |

It just goes to show they haven’t really got a clue
They want to fine or arrest people for sun bathing or walking in the country and yet the people supposed to be leading our fight against the virus all got Covid and the man supposed to be in charge is in hospital. I don’t trust them I se Damian Lewis the actor and his wife Polly PeKy Blinder arranged meals for 6,000 medical staff in West London Ron Dennis is aiming to provide 1 Million high nutrition meals for medical staff over the next few weeks Brewers are making sanitizer Other companies are making ventilators Leaders should lead as long as the people show them how. Neville and Giggs have given their hotel for health workers to stay for free. Abu Dhabi are making millions every month renting the Excell to the Government The day of reckoning will come but it is not yet |

By:
Abu Dhabi never demanded rent for the Excel Centre. They were billing the government for running costs.
But they dropped that the same morning the story broke. |

Good news

Just thought I'd mention it in case any lawyers were reading this.
Whisperingdeath vs the Emir of Abu Dhabi would be a one-sided contest imo. |
