My damned mother-in-law might come for Xmas nowBlue & Maroon wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 6:21 pmPissing me off this whole we need to have a family xmas and see people s****. Apparently it may tack on another 25 days of further restrictions.
Only reason you "need" to see family is a) they haven't got long left b) you're on your own.
British stiff upper lip my arse.
C) You have children and they need to be looked after by family.Blue & Maroon wrote: ↑Wed Nov 18, 2020 6:21 pmPissing me off this whole we need to have a family xmas and see people s****. Apparently it may tack on another 25 days of further restrictions.

You lucky, lucky bastard
I'm going to say that restaurants and bars aren't the problem, most I've been to very sensible, especially when we went to The Lakes, had screens up, table service, plenty of ventilation. Helps that me and the mrs only go together (or did when they were open) so we weren't coming close to anyone at all really, only go out once a week max as well.PTAO? wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 2:13 pmGot a couple friends who started out sensible in March, but descended into Covidiots since September, going out to restaurants and bars, visiting people, hosting at their place inside etc, they even tried to convince us to have them over for election night.
They are in absolute shock they tested positive this weekend.

The main problem, as with your friends is the household mixing, especially in their homes but could be anywhere, thinking "oh it will be fine it's only my best mate, family etc" which is mad when the whole mantra of the 1st lockdown was reducing household transmissions, which effective precautions which every bar, shop etc have to take help with if you stick with people from your own household.
600 deaths today, cant believe we are reopening.
That is very mad indeed.PTAO? wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 4:33 pmBlue & Maroon wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 4:21 pm

This is a few miles away from me taken on Friday night.
Our local bar was absolutely rammed as well according to their Instagram story. Hundreds of people on the dance floor, live DJ etc. It's insane.
I think a common sense approach needs to be applied. It seems that when the lockdown was lifted in the summer, a lot of places just went back to normal. I drove past a local pub one night and saw loads of people queuing to be let in - no social distancing whatsoever and nobody seemed to care. A few people I've spoken to were "glad it's back to normal" and rubbished my comments about not wanting to go to the pub until it was a normal thing to do; apparently it was just like it had always been.Blue & Maroon wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 6:07 pmThat is very mad indeed.
News in the UK is 3 households can meet at christmas
The missus mentioned that guidelines have stated no loud talking or shouting so I'm hoping to use that premise to ban my mother-in-law.Blue & Maroon wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 6:07 pmThat is very mad indeed.

Yeah, South Florida. People here are entitled and selfish at the best of times. I've lost a lot of respect for people over the last few months.
I don't believe for a second that state and local politics will allow him to do so. Many places rely on the entertainment industry to survive, and the politions and business owners have managed to convince half the population that it's better for grandma to die than for the government to help out small businesses, because that's communism and will result in the US becoming Venuzuela, or to behave in anyway sensibly, because telling people what to do removes their freedumb and will result in the US becoming North Korea.Bodacious Benny wrote: ↑Wed Nov 25, 2020 10:57 amIs Biden planning on locking the whole country down?

Yeah, we have some people here who bang on about not wearing masks or staying in lockdown as it’s an attack on their freedom, government trying to control everyone (yawn yawn) but nothing on the scale that things are happening in the USPTAO? wrote: ↑Wed Nov 25, 2020 12:24 pmI don't believe for a second that state and local politics will allow him to do so.
