Went to a farm shop for veg. Kinell, had to wait outside until a trolley was available. Trolleys dictated numbers allowed in shop. Huge tub of hand wash outside and wash for trolley handles. Signs everywhere, floor arrows, and not a person in any shop without a mask. Far more stringent generally and still staff outside some of the bigger places controlling numbers. Far better adherence from the public. Quote

I'd say its about 75-25 in favour of none wearers but yesterday I was the only fucker in there with one on. I ended up feeling the dick head for having one on. Quote

Jimmy hasn’t been perfect but she’s done a better job for sure She's done well, but there does seem to be a greater willingness and respect amongst the public. Doesn't matter whether people think the powers that be have done well, they still should conform to the basic risk reduction methods. Perhaps it is different in the big two cities, I don't know, but in Dumfries and Galloway with small towns and rural communities it certainly is noticeable how folk stick to the rules. Quote

Was the first time I've been in one since it became the rule. Happy I did as there was a couple of grubby looking bagheads in. Bloke on the til wasn't wearing one too, just gloves. Quote

I'm generally leaving it to people to draw their own conclusions. However, it looks clear that the risk is greater with age and really obvious that most of those who have died (until that date) had other health issues. Quote

Catch up, that's been the conclusion since day one, care homes and all that I suppose it might be of comfort to younger people with no other health issues though i hope they don't conclude they can crack on as normal Quote

But, we did a full lockdown, which people, some more than others, were happy to go along with. Quote

We really didn't, maybe compared to Sweden but not to most other countries, see today's excess death stats from the ONS As for keeping the populations apart and the death tolls in the elderly, it looks like the government played their part in that too https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-politics-53574265 Quote

The most important thing now for everyone, whatever age, is to control it. If everyone sticks to the advice (whether they trust it or not) we can all get back to some form of normality. Quote

I agree, the last thing we need to be doing is downplaying the severity of it by comparing it to other diseases or making on it only affects old people who are already ill, that will only lead to complacency, which as a nation we've been guilty of already, hence the excess deaths Edited July 30, 2020 by ZicoKelly Quote

We are continually increasing testing so it’s difficult to compare against previous figures. It’s also difficult to compare against other countries with fewer tests. If Spain were testing as many as the UK, their figures would look much worse. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/daily-tests-per-thousand-people-smoothed-7-day Edited July 30, 2020 by Boby Brno Quote
