Well everyone else is 1M/1.5M so it makes no sense to be 2

Australia have no social distancing in their schools at all. But then they’ve only had 102 deaths in this entire outbreak.

How is that?!?! Ridiculous statement he’s the one getting things reopen

Really? It's a shambles. Businesses still don't know what is actually happening

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Surely every vaccine should be safe before being used. Would you prefer one that is not known to be safe?

Yeah I want it to be safe obviously but it needs to be sped up

 

[PVA]

How is that?!?! Ridiculous statement he’s the one getting things reopen

If he hadn't absolutely fucked the initial response we would likely be almost fully reopen by now.

 

[clint van damme]

Errrrr it’s common sense to think that 1m instead of 2 will have less of an impact on people’s lives and they economy, are you stupid?

It's also common sense that something that is transmitted in liquid droplets will have more chance of travelling 1m instead of 2.
You are stupid.

 

[skybluetony176]

WHO recommends 1M, why are you lot so for having the 2M rule, it will kill the economy if it’s that much any longer....do you not think about how many people will lose their jobs and livelihoods?

The economy is already dead.

 

[clint van damme]

You clearly don't. You couldn't give a fuck or you wouldn't post such shite

 

[Deleted member 5849]

You are stupid.

Stating the bleeding obvious here!

 

[skybluetony176]

It is rapidly declining, look at the numbers over the last few months

It’s slowed down, look at the numbers over the last few weeks.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

The economy is already dead.

Why is why we need to errr reopen? Some people on here can’t seem to figure that one out in their small brains

I shouldn't post comments like that but he's such a fucking idiot at times

Me stupid? You've just shown your inability to read basic English.

As you have the reading comprehension of a primary school child let me break this down into crayon for you:

No one knows what the safe distance for this novel coronavirus as no gold standard trials have taken place.

You understand what that means?

So you have to decide on if you are going to prioritise the economy or the safety of people and potentially save lives

Got that Dom?

No you can safe lives and get the economy going together safely, 1M is safe according to many other countries

 

[clint van damme]

Confirmed. Roof terrace to be open
See you up there

 

[David O'Day]

What?

That is not what my post was about.

Can you even read? Forgive me but did you finish school?

You said 1m was WHO guideline.
Can you link this please?

 

[skybluetony176]

Define impact? Are you talking death of friends and family or not going to the pub?

 

[Deleted member 5849]

He'd have to start it first.

You've made your priority clear

 

[David O'Day]

Also social distancing is based on droplets and not aerosols which can travel a lot further

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Advice for public

It’s on that, have a look and stop trying to look like a smart arse proving me wrong when I’m right

 

[skybluetony176]

Exactly this. Look at the countries that took it serious in the first place and took advantage of the advanced notice we were getting from the initial hot spots.

 

[PVA]

No you can safe lives and get the economy going together safely, 1M is safe according to many other countries

Yes and many countries (ie just about every country) haven't had it as bad as us, nor do they continue to have it as bad as we are currently.

 

[David O'Day]

So you have to decide on if you are going to prioritise the economy or the safety of people and potentially save lives

Wtf are you chattin? That’s what you said

Yes but that is not the same as saying you can't reopen the economy safely.

I apologise, I didn't realise you had learning disabilities.

 

[David O'Day]

For everyone else who isn't a moron.

Countries have adopted distances over 1m as the only real research we have into droplet spread is based on influenza and the research for that shows a higher risk of infection at 1.8m or less.

 

[skybluetony176]

Why is why we need to errr reopen? Some people on here can’t seem to figure that one out in their small brains

That is why we need to accept the reality and not think that we can wish this all away by opening things up. Opening things up in reality is pointless if enough of the population doesn’t have the confidence to use those facilities and that confidence has to come from a measured response to every aspect of this from the government and they’ve fucked it up at every level, failed to take control of the disease and no body trusts them. What’s the point in the pubs opening if every night is like a quite wet Tuesday night when there’s something worth watching on the telly? These businesses need to be sustainable when they open up again and that is only going to happen when there’s public confidence to return to them and that’s only going to happen when the government get everything else right. If you think ending lockdown is going to be some sort of golden ticket for the economy you’re setting yourself up for a fall again.

Despite the big queues helped in part by decent weather the footfalls are well down on the same period last year.

 

[Deleted member 4439]

As a little extra to myself over this difficult period, I bought a little dual sports bike. Decals arrived today.

Look at them compared to other nations.....

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

How is that?!?! Ridiculous statement he’s the one getting things reopen

Because if he'd done his job half competently we'd be far further along the curve, infections and deaths would be much lower with less chance of infections being brought in from overseas and we could look to be opening, or even be open already.
