Although I used the scheme like most people, it does look slightly crackpot in hindsight, encouraging people to go out more than usual and then acting surprised when cases go up and having to make a load more new rules up on the spot that can’t be policed.It’s a virus. It spreads.
You can stay in doors as long as you want but, unless you have a vaccine, it will continue to be there when you come out.
It doesn’t go round the houses and say ‘bahhhh, no one is out on the streets, I’m off to france’,

I only know 2 ppl who used it, when you saw video and pics of Sushak promoting it serving meals at tables in a fairly crowded restaurant without face covering and without gloves and a covidiot smile on his face it just summed up the ignorance of those in power about the whole pandemic like Johnson's handshaking, Hancocks lack of social distancing in the HOC, Raab licking his fingers between turning pages of his speech, Williamson taking his mask off to shake hands etc. They're clueless at everything besides culling the population and fiddling the stats.
Didn't see anyone complaining at the time....
That’s why I said in hindsight. I’m not saying we should have all been stuck at home still, or that I was against it (you perhaps foolishly “trust” these people to know what they’re doing, to at least a very basic level), but in Manchester we had partial lockdown yet were being actively encouraged to eat out for a month. I’d have at least hoped the government had planned for the resultant spike. Doesn’t look like they did!Didn't see anyone complaining at the time....

We can't. It's a combination of everything that's been relaxed.Hmm I'm reluctant to pile on EOTHO just yet. The increase in rates correlates with schools reopening, offices opening etc as well. Not quite sure we can pin it on hospitality industry just yet.
It was more the timing of it. In finished just before everyone went back to school, it give the virus a leg up at the wrong timeAlthough I used the scheme like most people, it does look slightly crackpot in hindsight, encouraging people to go out more than usual and then acting surprised when cases go up and having to make a load more new rules up on the spot that can’t be policed.
South Korea seem to be handling it okayLike the first wave does anything make much difference , other countries experiencing second waves and they had different policies. It seems to make little difference in the grand scheme of things.
Yup, Spain seeing big increases despite their lockdown being much stricter than ours...Like the first wave does anything make much difference , other countries experiencing second waves and they had different policies. It seems to make little difference in the grand scheme of things.
It's the selfish, idiots that have escalated this virus, you can blame the government as much as you want to, but if people can't take responsibilities then I'm afraid we're in this for the long haulAll those bells booking tables up with a bottle of wine to boot
