That weirdo who seems to be travelling the country to watch Bolton on a stepladder probably says the same If everybody, and I mean 100% of people had such to the rules and not bent then to suit themselves, then we'd not be in half the mess that we are Nope it’s thick fuckers who can’t compute what are the real risks and what to avoid doing that are the problem & you can throw in piss poor government rules like sending kids to university and schools while it’s possible to remotely home school.

But your version of common sense isn’t everyone else’s Best driver in the world could be driving perfectly down Chorley new road, then suddenly Amir Khan sideswipes him in his Range.

Tombwfc Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 12 hours ago, MickyD said: I’ve worked throughout the Covid period and have noticed that in March, when this all kicked off, the roads were dead. Very few others driving around and even ‘rush hours’ were quiet. This time around, whilst not as busy as pre-covid, the roads are very much busier than the first lockdown. Have folk decided they haven’t been infected yet therefore it’s unlikely they will be? Lots of industries/businesses shut down last time, either because of the unknown or because they thought they had to. Now after nearly a year of this, I suppose you can't blame them for staying open if the government doesn't strictly say they have to close. I don't think it's anything other than that - there's nowhere else for folk to be going. Presumably the hope from the government is that closing schools will stop it from getting totally out of hand (although our definition of what that is seems to change by the day) and then the vaccine will come to the rescue.

Aye but their common sense would always be misinterpreted people who decided to go their own way and follow their own rules. One Of the reasons we’re in this god awful mess.

wiggy Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) The golf one is interesting. I get the frustration because in theory it shouldn’t cause anyone any problems. But... you know full well that if golf is allowed then quite rightly people will demand that their sport / activity should be allowed. And it goes on. Plus how do we think most people get to golf clubs? They drive. Which means more people on the road and a greater chance of the emergency services being needed. Simplest just to say that nothing is allowed. Edited January 9, 2021 by wiggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boby Brno Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Interestingly, MIL friend is due her second tomorrow but wasn’t going to go because her daughter heard on the tv that the second ones are cancelled.

I have heard...that a lot of GP surgeries/hubs are not planning to get anymore Pfizer vaccine as it is so hard to store so they are completing the second course. This was from a local medical professional. Ok it was a Vet but she is good mates with local GP. Makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
