Yeah Jade I have no idea, lots of people are absolutely infuriated at this point.
Though he still has some support as some people are that scared of the virus they wear face shields walking the back streets.

You now cannot get a test on the NHS as they are fully booked. Instead need to pay Ā£110 fot a private test. This country lol.

I think this was always the case, theyāve just added a line into the script to tell you to bugger off rather than tell you to go 300 miles away 
I tried for a while and got nothing then my wife tried and managed to get a couple of home tests somehow.

Testing is increasing slowly (something like +7% the past week), but cases havenāt doubled in a week because testing suddenly doubled.
Monitoring cases is all weāve got because if you start waiting for deaths to start getting out of control then itāll be too late. That was the problem last time.
Unfortunately I get the impression deaths is the only stat anyone cares about when being asked to give up some of their social lives which is understandable. This virus was certainly a more scary prospect when 1000 people were dying a day.

This is a bit harsh IMO. Itās not just about not being able to go to the pub on a Friday night. For me, the more important aspect is the mental impact this has on individuals and financial impact it has on small businesses. Where I live, a few independent shops and businesses have already announced they wonāt be reopening because they just canāt afford to do so.
Itās not just giving up āsome of my social lifeā. I didnāt have much of one of those to start with, lol. Sure, some people just want to get smashed and go dance in Popworld. But itās not all anyone cares about.

Yeah thatās fair enough, wasnāt really aiming that at your message, just the most recent outrage Iāve seen from people is about reducing gatherings being ridiculous but if we want to keep people working and in school then these social things are whatās going to be sacrificed.
We were told at the start that we had to keep this R number at or below 1 so if itās increasing something is going to be done to curb it.

Its true. I walked through my town center on Friday and couldnāt believe how many closed down/boarded up shops there were. It hit home how bad this situation actually is. Surreal.

Bath was doing fine when I was there a few weeks ago, almost 100% of the shops were back up and running.
Fleet Street, however, was a fucking ghost town.
I was there last week for drinks with some old colleagues and it was nuts. There were barely any people around, Sainsburyās and M&S were boarded up, all but two pubs were closed, Pret and the other independent cafes were closed.
Never thought Iād see that, it was quite 28 days later.
Spot on Jade.
My social life was fairly reasonable before covid, but thatās not the main reason Iām opposed to the restrictions.
Talking to a nurse last night. She said they had 6 cases in her hospital. Although not many she said the difference this time was that the hospital is running to near full with itās usual quota of patients.
When the pandemic hit last time people had been discharged or transferred out.
The problem as she put it was the virus spreading through the hospital to sick people whose immunity down.
Think this is the main problem that doesnāt get looked at when some think thereās an over reaction because we donāt see deaths escalate.

The average of death from the virus 82 the average age life expectancy in Britain 82.3.
Such a deadly virus that I does virtually nothing to people below 60. you can have it and not even know you had it, the recovery rate is at 99.8%. It so deadly you need to be tested to see if you have it or had it.
Yep good reason to shut everything down, this is becoming a joke; behaviourist would look at this period as case study in to how fear of death can condition a population.
Tell people there are in eminent danger (most of the population arenāt used to death), remind people are dying daily after that sinks in, remind them that death is still out there (hence daily cases over daily deaths). It so weird seeing people give up their freedoms for safety itās not not like that has never led to tyranny of the people

One good things people are being more hygienic 
I donāt see people pissing and walking out without washing their hands.

Repulsive paedo cunts.
Probably wants to try and kill as many British circles order people so less kids have their parents and grandparents available and are ripe for their noncing.
Absolute real talk.
When kids in school study this in history in 50 years time theyāll be thinking ā what the fuck was going on ā

This is classic behaviourist techniques (negative reinforcement), using daily deaths and cases to change peopleās behaviour, the problem is young people are āNihilisticā and harder to control.
Our generation has the snowplough and helicopter parenting, so most of us were shielded and never built resilience so the millennials generation were easier to condition.
Iām glad more people are starting to see the light in this thread.
We know, because you personally congratulate people each time they post something you agree with in this thread.
