Non essential shops to reopen

[Man_On]

Convenient timing to announce that one eh?

Getting bombarded from all angles over Cummings. "Announce the reopening of shops"!

Markets and car show rooms from next week, everything else from June 15th.

Are they seriously going to try and keep car parks shut at the beach and tell people they cant see family once the town is reopened? Seriously doubt anybody will be accepting that.

Doubt a lot of people will take any notice of Blojob or his minions and their 'advice' from this point on - it appears everything is flexible when it's in your own interests.

It is too early to do this. I fear a second wave.

 

[Lottowyn]

Too early eh. Any chance of getting a pint at any one of them ?

There is no second wave.

this is what people are struggling with, the prioritisation around concessions on the lockdown, people would surely want to see family members than wander round the shops with a lot of total strangers......

Maybe those people who are adult enough will make their own decisions, and not use the actions of a buffoon as an excuse.

It's politically expedient to do it right now.

Should bury the Cummings stuff..

They hope.

Alright Nostradamus! What are you basing that on?

The last truly global pandemic had a second wave

Agreed, my big concern is those that might have been "on the fence" with regard to beaches etc now just saying "stuff it - if he can do it, so can I"

Government policy?

I think a lot of people have gone half back to normal anyway after his last announcement.

It’s nailed on ( sadly)

There was a press conference slide a week ago that said 80% of people were only leaving home for permitted reasons. That number will be falling but there are a lot of people living life in anything but a normal way. When shops open they will probably reduce the 2m social distancing to 1m and those that have concerns now will be increasingly concerned.

Oh has coronavirus ended in those countries? or are they still ending their first wave? Do you think it'll happen immediately? or, like every other infection, die down and build back up? If the former, why is this one unique?

While out exercising I'm seeing a pretty big increase in groups of people meeting up. Many of them look like multiple generations of families and groups of adolescent friends. It does feel like adherence to the rules is waning.

It was almost completely gone yesterday. Groups of kids down by the river, large groups wandering around.

It's almost as if a senior government figure had broken the rules and been defended by the whole cabinet so everyone else has just gone "feck it"
