Got where?

Listen mate, if you have a point to make why not just make it? The discussion would be a lot easier.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I did in my first post on the thread. Let those that are high risk continue to isolate. This new groups of 6 rule is pointless when people are mixing in all of those other situations. Especially pubs and restaurants. I was out at the weekend and the social distancing just goes out of the window once people have had a few pints. These are the places where the spread is most likely.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, well your reply to me seemed a bit cryptic!

So how long are we going to lock up these poor, vulnerable people?

You really think that’s fair, just because you want to get together in a big group?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Until there is a vaccine or they run out of food and starve to death.

You can't kill the those that are high risk if they are isolating. Which is why I said the high risk should still isolate until there is a vaccine.

But we are all in this together.

Apparently.

Well I would think that most vulnerable people are still isolating themselves as it is. I know that the majority of the people that are know are still isolating. And they would have to continue to isolate until there is a vaccine.

And it isn't just so that I can meet up in a group. That doesn't really bother me. I just think it is a bit ridiculous when you can do something like go pheasant shooting, but you can't socialise with your family.

Those that are at high risk are at high risk. There isn't anything that we can do about that other than protect them. And they should also be given additional financial support where required.

I just feel that we are at the point now where the negative impact on the economy, healthcare, mental health etc. outweighs the good achieved from the current measures in place.

Well I agree that is ridiculous, but I never said otherwise.

If the change in rules doesn't bother you or affect you much then it's all good, isn't it.

The rule of 6 wasn't really the crux of the argument - it was just to underline how daft the government have been in handling the pandemic.

Well this was the post I responded to:

I wouldn't snitch. And it is an absolute joke that they are bringing in this rule when the are sending kids to school, the pubs are open, you can eat in a restaurant, go pheasant shooting, have your eyebrows done etc. etc. People are coming into contact with each other all over the place.

We should either have a proper lock down, or say feck it, carry on as normal and those that are considered high risk should self isolate until we have a vaccine.





But yes, I agree they've handled it badly.
