The Prime Minister has written to every household in the UK. As that letter lands on the doormat, I won’t be the only one who’ll be picking it up with a couple of snooker cues, like a contestant on a Japanese game show. I’m assuming these letters are being sent directly from Whitehall – ground zero of our nations complete failure to comply with social distancing rules. Instead of posting the letter I’m surprised Johnson hasn’t committed to coughing his filthy news through our letterboxes in person. He also sent a text message to every mobile phone in the UK. For a handful of children in Britain that’ll have been the first contact they’ve had from their dad. I suspect Johnson’s baby will be exhausted when it comes out. Having spent months evading his cock like a magician’s assistant dodging swords in a box.

all this video conferencing with family and friends is really starting to boil my piss. 4 nights in a bastard row, and i've got one scheduled with the family tomorrow. i've never seen so much of my friends and i'm speaking to my mother at least twice a week where before coronavirus it was just the odd whatsapp message.

Early days, but Germany’s curve looks to be flattening. Spain and Italy too. This is the week we should start to see the benefit of the lockdown on fatalities in the UK. USA still on the rise

This. I bailed out of a Zoom group quiz last night.  Pub quizzes are shit enough WITH the fucking pub.

Did you see the parks in London yesterday? Fuck me. They need shooting the lot of them.

I went to Greenwich Park yesterday so my kids could run around. Everyone was staying well away from each other and the police were moving on anyone who was just there sunbathing. Almost everyone that I saw was being considerate. A lot of people have no, or little, outdoor space and will have spent the entire week cooped up, working from home with their kids running around the house. I see no problem in people getting some fresh air so long as they stay well away from each other.

 

I appreciate that some parks weren’t like this (although I suspect that the large majority were) but there is way way more chance of catching it in a supermarket.

Tbf, the virus isn’t airborne. Keep 2m away from anyone, wash your hands religiously and lock yourself in the house for 14 days if you’re symptomatic. If everyone does that there’s no way of this thing spreading. You can’t catch it walking past someone on the street unless they sneeze in your face 
 

There’s a bit of overkill by some people atm. I had the bairn wandering the streets for 2 hours on her scooter yesterday because she was bored shitless

That's probably it.  We (myself included) just see photos of people in parks and then draw differing conclusions.  Albeit, there was a lot of small groups on one sunbathing.  But again, I'm assuming they all live in separate housing.

precisely this.

gloucetershire constabulary are using quadbikes to hassle people walking their dogs in the middle of nowhere, telling folk they shouldn't be driving to exercise, which they have no power to do.

I drive 4 mile to where I've been walking my d9g for the last 10 years, I don't stop on the way there and once I arrive I hardly see a living soul and if I do I can avoid them by hundreds of yards. the alternative is a local cycle path which runs through and round cheltenham and which will be being used by hundreds.

the same fucking town and those who run it who colluded in welcoming the best part of a quarter of a million people here a fortnight ago.

logic appears to have gone out the window.

[Ayatollah Hermione 13837]

The Queen should come on the telly today and say something like "One would like to remind you that the more you stay in, the quicker the pubs will open. You fucking plebs" and then those unhinged lunatics that have a stockpile of plastic Union Jacks in the loft might stay in for a bastard change.

[Kid Dynamite 7009]

Also, the politicians releasing these statements, and the police officers enforcing them, are currently spending 40hrs pw outside of their house and socialising with others. It’s a damn sight easier managing a lockdown when it only involves stopping in watching telling on evenings and weekends.

 

The millions furloughed, with houses full

of kids, and ordered not to cross the threshold for weeks on end are probably finding it more of a struggle 

[ewerk 30370]

Aye, fuck those cunts on the front line putting their health at risk.

[Renton 21393]

I don't think driving for recreation is essential personally. Problem is if everyone takes that attitude, beauty spots will be inundated and transmission will happen. Mind, I live in a lovely place. Will the rest of you just FUCK OFF.

Exercise outside the home could be banned if people ignore coronavirus social distancing rules, the health secretary has warned.

Matt Hancock told the BBC's Andrew Marr that the government would "take action" if further measures are needed to bring the coronavirus under control.

It comes after reports of groups of people gathering in parks during sunny weather this weekend.

It's not essential but nor is it remotely dangerous or increasing the risk of transmission. As long as you are socially distant at your destination, then you've done nothing wrong. 

 

My sister drives to a local park so that the dog can be let off the lead, and some utter cunt has been posting pictures of her car (and others) on Facebook as if he lives in East Germany. Demanding that the authorities do something about it. What a fucking quim. I bet he's got a moustache.

Aye we all know who would tell the Nazis where Ann Frank’s family were hiding

 

I think that folk are more at risk in any supermarket than in your local park. That may not be scientific fact though.

100% From what I've heard, the likes of ASDA and Tesco are absolute free-for-alls.

Tesco was back to being a fucking nightmare when I went on Friday morning. Lass had a full panic attack in the fruit and veg bit cos no cunt was observing the 2 metres. Crying her eyes out and no one could go to comfort her. 

 

Some pensioner snuck up on one of the Tesco workers and got her face three inches from theirs to ask where something was. Tesco woman shrunk backwards but was obviously simultaneously embarrassed by her own reaction. Really though she should be saying to the old wife "Bitch, you are the one we are doing all this shit for and you're acting like we're on a date."

 

Another Tesco wife was asking people to observe 2 metres which prompted this arsehole in a face mask to start shouting at her about how it was hard. Which prompted an absolute champ to round on this bloke and tell him to fucking pipe down, she's just doing her job.

 

"An absolutely bullshit retail experience" would be the title of my Google review.

I'm sure that's true but then again getting food in is pretty essential. That's the difference.

 

There's good weather predicted for next weekend, which is a double bank holiday  I'm far from happy with the prospect of thousands of people descending on the coast as normal  personally. Please don't drive for recreational purposes. 

[PaddockLad 17124]

This was a couple of hours ago... I've no doubt this will change this afternoon..

Yeah I'm certainly not suggesting any form of restrictions for visiting supermarkets but the way some self righteous pricks are carrying on is really fuckin pissing me off. 

 

I'm strictly observing distancing & isolation advice because I'm fucked if I get it.  Others potentially spreading it are undoubtedly irresponsible but I think the government have been waiting for them/this moment to bang us all up. I think this point has been inevitable. Our curve is steeper than Italy's at the same point. Wouldn't be surprised if another 1000 poor souls popped off yesterday.
