Your Method Of Easing Lockdown

[naomi24]

Some people here seem to be in a permanent state of confusion over what I think are quite simple guidelines for the gradual easing of lockdown and for getting people back to work….so here’s their opportunity to shine. If you were in charge, how would you do it?

[cassa333]

Back to normal with social distancing, face masks, hand sanitising and washing regularly. How that would work with some employers is not for me to say but people and businesses have to take responsibility for this as well.

Visit but distance with older relatives only if you have been symptom free for 14 days.

The guidelines are simple enough to understand - it's just that there's no logic to them, as I've said elsewhere.

What lockdown? I wasn't locked down. Carried on as normal. In the circumstances of course.

[douglas9401]

I might look in on this during the working day, should make me feel safer knowing the brains trust has been summoned. :-)

I don't now the answer btw.

[naomi24]

diddly, this is your opportunity to demonstrate that you could do better.

Have you been to the barber's and have you been to the pub?

[douglas9401]

"Have you been to the barber's and have you been to the pub?"

That's more locked out than down.

Naomi, someone could come up with the 'plan to and all plans' - more cunning than any Baldrick ever dreamed up - and still some of our great British public would act like uneducated morons. Yesterday I ventured to the supermarket for the first time since lockdown began - having relied on local shops in the meantime. We queued outside for about 20 minutes, edging ever slowly to the escalator and, once at the top, we were met with simple instructions; "A one way system is in operation, please follow the arrows." Yet the number of brain-dead ignoramuses (or is it ignoramusi?) moving through the aisles in the wrong direction was staggering. Hope none of them actually hold driving licences.
And, this morning, I have seen pics of commuters packed like sardines into tube carriages with nary a face mask in sight. Covid 19 is rubbing it's hands with glee and smacking it's lips in anticipation of the feast ahead.

There's no confusion really it's just lefties and the anti British deliberately misunderstanding to make political capital.

[royfromaus]

There needs to be something better...for the next time.

[Ken4155]

Right, I see, TTT. So those people walking toward me - and against the arrows - were either lefties or anti-British. Yeah, yeah, makes perfect sense when you think about it. :-///

[Zacs-Master]

Tora is broadly correct. It’s just ‘hip & cool’ to knock government guidelines. There are a few who are too thick to understand (as demonstrated on other threads most days). They’re the same people who make life just that bit more difficult for the vast majority, which is what we’re witnessing here.

[ToraToraTora]

ken: "So those people walking toward me - and against the arrows - were either lefties or anti-British." - no, they are kin eejits!

[Ken4155]

Which is what I said, more or less :-)

[ToraToraTora]

ken they are the same people that go in the out and out the in door in normal times. They understand the instructions but have the attention span of a Gnat.

[diddlydo]

TTT - or they have an independent mind, unlike the many sheep who follow the Tories come what may. I haven't been into any one-way supermarket but I know they exist - if I went into one for just a couple of things I'm damned if I'd walk up and down every b***** aisle.

[dannyk13]

Diddly, it is people with your attitude who risk a return to a hard lock down and an escalation in the cases of people contracting covid 19.

[puzzled54]

And why would you be I disrespectful to the shop workers who are doing so well in these circumstances

[Deskdiary]

"Yet the number of brain-dead ignoramuses...moving through the aisles in the wrong direction was staggering."

Could it be they'd forgotten something and were going back to get it?

[Ken4155]

Diddly; "....if I went into one just for just a couple of things, i'm damned if i'd walk up and down every b***** aisle."
The policy hasn't been put in place by Boris and Co, so that people may follow all sheep-like. It's been put in place by the store manager in order to try and maintain the social distancing which could possibly keep this virus at arm's length, so to speak. I doubt whether even your BFF Jezza would disagree with it.
