It’s just another typical example of the modern way of life, I’m alright, sod everyone else type attitude. I’ve noticed far more people breaching the 2m rule in supermarkets this time round and that’s the only thing i can think of that’s any different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the government afford a proper lock down...I think not...mitigation is the key here and we are going to have to live with it Good, as long as people do the necessary mitigation; trouble is, there's little sign of it presently.

Perhaps. But, the folk I've been seeing in Tesco are predominantly younger than me - and I'm not in an age group who have been called yet.

TerryFuchwit Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 20 minutes ago, madmanxpilot said: Based on my Tesco experiences during this and the January circuit breaks, it seems that an awful lot of folk seem to believe that wearing a face covering means that social distancing isn't required. Perhaps even Tesco think this themselves as their one way system hasn't been reintroduced during either of these circuit breaks. If these non identifiable source cases don't start tailing off this week, I reckon the elimination strategy will likely never reach it's goal again. Just go to Shoprite.

I dont think they have just met, mask a bit silly when couples who live together go out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The couples holding hands whilst taking up the whole of the width of the pavement are a pain at the best of times, always seem to think everyone else should walk in the road so they don't need to break hands to let you past!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so neither of them have the virus or may be asymptomatic carriers? Who knows? Who are they passing who may have the virus? They care about neither themselves nor others. This is how the virus is spreading. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news and a step closer to out of lockdown. On 3/15/2021 at 4:06 PM, TerryFuchwit said: Some people don't like good news. Especially on here. Shouldn't be long before the usual suspects are along to put a negative slant on it with usual patronising guff about lies etc. On 3/15/2021 at 4:14 PM, The Duck of Atholl said: 29 cases. that's cause for cautious optimism I think.
