Today’s anti lockdown violence

Hospitals are always full at this time of year,
look at the ONS uk death figures for October 2019 compared to October 2020. There was seven of a difference!!!! Every death is tragic but is it worth shutting the whole country and resulting in more non COVID related premature deaths.

...and its because of that sort of attitude that people are dying.
 
So where does it end???? ye millions of people have underlying health conditions, doesnt mean they will get ill. there is a lot more people that are getting ill BECAUSE of this lockdown and many more lost their livelihood ☹️
why is it anyone that wants to go to the pub is classed as the enemy, yet ten tonne tessy and her extended family can go and wobble down the isle at Asda filling her trolly with smart price baked beans and gets away Scot free😯
the difference between going to the pub and shopping in asda is people are not hugging and kissing each other in asda but when pissed in pubs are slobbering all over each other and yes i do know what im talking about being a doorman who has worked on pubs for too many years.
when youve lost someone close to you with the virus you might understand.
 
Before lockdown me and my wife used to go to the pub three or four times a week . Usually a couple of hours after work or a Saturday or Sunday lunchtime I don’t remember slobbering over anyone but let’s tar everyone with the same brush. Oh balls, am I allowed to use that expression it might have some racial connotation.
 
This thread perfectly illustrates the problems that on a much bigger scale we face in this country.

The majority realise the gravity of the situation,the great many extra deaths and tragedies many families are having to face and the fact that irresponsible behaviour may mean others lose their lives and the only way to save those lives or certainly reduce the mortality rate is to think of others and follow all the rules conscientiously.

The minority want to go to the pub, party ,get pissed and sod the consequences if that spreads the virus who cares, they certainly don`t.

Surely a bit of personal sacrifice just for a few more weeks or months to help save many lives until we have the vaccine and can then can return to living normal lives is not too much to ask.Sadly as this thread well illustrates more people will continue to lose their lives than need to because of the selfish irresponsible minority.

I believe we have a great many good responsible and decent people in this country but those others can cause a disproportionate amount of harm and grief to the rest.

Conclusive proof it doesn't happen then.
 
Unfortunately it is that kind of thinking that has led to some people believing there is no risk because they haven't caught it.
Nope. Fully aware of the risk which is why I abide by the rules and guidelines when frequenting pubs, restaurants, Asda or even Bloomfield. I cant help what others do. I havent seen this hugging and kissing you mention though.

I wasn't singling you out claiming you behave in that manner.
I worked on the doors in town for 6 years up until 2017, trust me, a hell of a lot of hugging and kissing goes on in pubs, bars & clubs.

Well back then there was no virus! I'll have to take your word for it. I wouldn't be going in those kind of places anyway. I've been very selective about where I've been going this year.
I guess the point is that when they open the pubs up, if you dont feel comfortable, dont go. I wouldn't be if I had a health issue or was over 70.

I agree with what you're saying, but the problem with this particular virus is it could spread to an unknown amount of people who wouldn't have the first clue that they were carriers due to being asymptomatic, and then pass it on to family, work colleagues etc who, like you, would never dream of going in bars & clubs.
The "I'm alright, Jack" attitude of some who have never caught it or know anyone that has will undoubtedly be contributing to the spread, thus being one of the causes why we continue to be living under the current restrictions.

Well you could say the same about shops, schools, unis being open too. I'm amazed at the amount of none essential shops open.

Yeah but people have to get food and essential items. I love going to the pub as much as the next man but it is a 'social activity'
I agree shopping is a social activity for some. it may be for erm 'tessy' but perhaps shutting down all shops and dumping food at everyones door to survive until we see the back of this is seen as a step too far?
At least we can buy alcohol and have a bevvy at home if we want. Its not like we are subject to wartime rationing is it?

Im not gonna lie these are difficult times & a struggle for myself & many more.
However missing out on some things we enjoy is not exactly the end of the world.

This virus unfortunately has been the end for many.

I just try to see the bigger picture.

but you dont go out to get totally obliterated.
a BIG number of the younger revellers are sniffed up on coke on top of everything else. i suggest when pubs re open and you visit just watch how many frequent the toilets together and go into the same cubicle great social distancing.
inhibitions are down so all the social distancing goes out of the window.

I agree schools espcially uni and non essential shops.
uni was one of the major problems look at how many were infected as soon as they reopened
