Because as I said they are realists. Of course the students have to come home for Xmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Down Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 My guess is that anybody on the island running a business be it retail or hospitality is quite happy with the way things are. Those wanting anything other than what we have now obviously have no business that could potentially be decimated 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to have mutated several times already. From what I have heard, it mutated when it reached Italy and then did the same again when it got to the USA. When that mutation got back to China, it started to reinfect them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcousticallyChallenged Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I think the next big step will be when a household catches it from someone. That'll stir things up for a lot of people. And might make Quayle decide to make whole houses isolate again. I reckon by November as other posters have said. Lately, the rumour mill suggests that people self-isolating away from the rest of the house, aren't quite managing that, merrily socialising in the garden, or in some cases, hopping into bed after being away from their beloved for quite some time. I think we are in a very lucky spot to be in, but as time goes on, it is less and less sustainable. I've got friends and family who would class as severely vulnerable, and it is only by virtue of our current situation we can spend a lot of time together, without any social distancing or real precautions. The problem is, and the MHKs are finding, that there's no way to keep everyone happy, so actually, the easy approach is to keep the status quo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed it’s all going to kick off again soon. But secretly it’s what the doom mongers really want anyway. SECOND WAVE!!!!!! Another few months off work, more pay for nothing! Schools shut and government can shut down for another 6 months. That will take many through to Easter sat on their arses again and really fuck the economy once and for all.

But isn't that proposed action in response to the general rise in cases in the UK? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
