No issues with people in a pub observing social distancing.

Thats not quite happening though.

There are cases of transmission from person to person sitting 5 meters apart on a bus. The suggested 1 meter rule while you're in a pub is a joke. Someone coughs or sneezes and 15 people around him gets ill.

Sigh, they are the only ones at present who can propose it but there is no way to get through the requisite stages, to make sure it passes muster legally. Let me give the non-dummy answer, the DoH can just add it to the list of things it advises to close. They are still appealing to people to respect the guidelines but are not at that point yet.

What are you on about??? Who is going to challenge it??? This is not some hairbrained stimulus that government are trying to introduce. It’ll be based on DoH advice and no one will challenge it and even if they did they will have zero support and no chance of even remotely getting it into court.

60m people
Roughly 40m is 60% of their population (the amount they estimate will get infected)
3.2 is about 7/8% of the infected.

Not to mention the 37m who may be left with permanent lung damage.

Where are you getting that from? The current figures state that around 80% will develop a mild or moderate case. Fever, chills, dehydration, shortness of breath.

The remainder may or will develop a serious or critical case. Serious or critical cases will or may develop pneumonia. If you are to recover from this state you may be left with permanent lung damage.

What you're saying is that 60% of the Italian population will may be left with permanent lung damage.

The study carried out by the Hong Kong Hospital Authority have also stated that cardiovascular exercise can and has improved survivors lung capacities. They've also stated that it is too soon to determine the long lasting effects.

F*ck them out on a ditch and leave them there.
Let them know the risks.

If they end up in A&E, they should be fcuked out.

Hand on heart I was in the 'it'll be grand' camp all of last week. I went to work (cycled) on Friday and had tried to ignore the panic merchants. I've just got off the phone with one of my closest family members who has COPD. Never really thought too much about it as he does not let it impede him. Keeps himself very fit, doesn't drink or smoke. His consultant told him this week to stay indoors (no visitors), if he gets the virus he will not survive it. That news has fukcen hit home.

I have 2 family members with bad asthma.Young, in their early 30s, relatively fit and in good health otherwise.
I am afraid for them.I know lots of people wih young kids with asthma.Who knows how they will get hit??
Hence my annoyance at the pub brigade.

The guidelines are clear and obvious and anyone ignoring them in this time of national emergency is an anti-social scumbag who should be shot into space to spare the rest of us from their ignorance and complete lack of respect for the rest of society.

This. 1000 times this.

But nope. There will still be people on here defending "going for a few scoops" because they "can't sit inside" for a few nights.

Afterwards they will say that the government weren’t clear enough in their instructions. It won’t be their fault.

They think they are young and invincible, I don’t think the penny has dropped for some people yet, complete ignorance and stupidity and yes they will probably try to blame the government who in fairness are now doing all they can now

Direct provision. Homeless shelters all over the the place. Hotels and cars with homeless families. Many tiny apartments, house shares and literally actual prisons where the spread of this will be rampant when it gets in.

Include all them favelas the Brazilians created around the Northside of the city sharing bedrooms filled with bunk beds. Breading ground for coronavirus spreading

I know it has been asked, but my partner is a chef, where should he go to for financial support if the business shuts?

That is a rather dumb post when you consider that the point of restrictions is to prevent the spread of a virus. What you are saying is that it's okay to spread it in a supermarket but not okay to spread it in a pub.

And just because one goes to a pub does not mean one has an alcohol problem, pubs are social occasions and a relief from the working week, where for some ppl who are single for example is their only opportunity for social interaction.

We're in the middle of a public health emergency. Comparing going to the pub to going to the supermarket is fcuking stupid. Panic buyers aside, people need to go to the supermarket to get provisions in etc. Nobody needs to go to the pub and especially not now. I highly doubt the lads and lassies after 5 or 6 pints are practicing good hand hygiene or social distancing.

I might have missed it, but I would love to see a system in place where if you are laid off your rent/mortgage is postponed until we get back to some kind of normality.

I'm probably talking through my hat, but a bit of a safety net like that might get everyone on board with a lock down. Business rates to be postponed too, together with supports to get them back on their feet.

I personally would have no problem with an emergency budget to help this kind of thing along. Supports like this take the heat and lots of worry off.

Some banks are prepared to suspend mortgage and loan payments if you contact them. Was reported early in the week

Not everyone clogs the A&E after a night out to be fair. But those that do now should be put waaay down on the list.

This thread is hard enough to keep up with without the whingefest about people having a drink in a pub
Got a problem with it complain to the VFI or the government instead of the self-flagellation on a thread about a virus

God help us if people are that thick to blame the government for themselves going to crowded pubs. We all have individual responsibility, including you, the government cant control every person and every business in the country.

It's just total selfishness at this stage. If you cant not go to the pub for a couple of weeks to literally stop a deadly virus spreading to your friends and family members, you have bigger issues.

This is false. However even if true, what’s the end game of shutting down everything? Economy won’t cope for the necessary period of time you’d need to isolate everyone while waiting for a vaccine. The UK IS taking action to spread the peak while wanting to limit it to one peak, not months of going round in circles.

It's not false. All true. You can can find that out yourself. I did the research and it took me a while. If you dispute it providence evidence disputing it.
