Yes but America has accepted that it'll kill the best part of half a million of its people.

I was in one on Sunday and it was bizarre - loads of staff loading shelves and I assume getting stuff for driver deliveries and in one aisle there were 6 staff blocking the way and standing inches from customers

Staff are at fault then? What do we do fine the staff?

How lax the rules got in summer? Can you please point out how severe the rules got at any time.
Have you read the posts from those of us that live elsewhere than the UK?
I am a keyworker. I have been allowed out all the way through lockdowns because of what I do in my spare time. Other than for a couple of weeks I have hardly seen any difference to normal on the streets. Shall we compare it to elsewhere?
My wife and youngest children live in France. During their lockdowns they had to fill out forms....later an app was made available. They had to say where they were leaving, what time they were leaving, where they were going and why. You were only allowed out for certain reasons. The Gendarmes had roadblocks checking paperwork. If you had taken too long or was considered off route you got a fine. It doubled each time. If you reached a certain amount of fines you ended up in prison.
Their last lockdown ended halfway through December. Presently if you live in an area without much of a virus risk you have an 8pm curfew. If you live in an at risk area you have a 6pm curfew. All pubs/restaurants and non essential places are still closed. The Gendarmes stop everyone out after these times. My wife got stopped on her way home back to France. She has now had a few times with Gendarmes with their guns. And this isn't even in lockdown.
To me this has been our biggest problem. No serious lockdown and no visual deterrent. No proof of how long or what anyone is doing.
At least we have been able to go for a drive to check our eyesight.

Oh yes. Much better to have empty shelves and for those shielding from the virus to do their own shopping than yourself to do the rest of your shopping and then go down that aisle later.

I mean in regards to what is open and how people are legally allowed to interact. No need to be an arse.

No need to be an arse?
Can you explain this as it is yourself who seems to be being an arse with your comment. All I have done is explain what others have done compared to the UK.

Yep, full pallets blocking aisles. My local Tesco had previously had lots of tills open to avoid queues but seem to have sacked that off too.

I find it infuriating seeing Whitty say teachers aren’t at risk from the kids. So for heaven’s sake let us deliver them a proper educational experience when we go back!

just been out and about and I think shops have been told to tighten up on their covid protocols. Certainly seemed to be a bit more on top than of recently .
Aldi in Cannon Park even had council inspectors in there as well when I was in there. Easy on a Monday afternoon when it's quiet though, let's see what happens at the weekend.

With the clubs/pubs shut why don't the supermarkets employ the bouncers from them to do this? Gonna be far more effective than a scrawny student asking them to put a mask on or get out.

I mean it's all relative isn't it and he is clearly talking about lax compared what what it was previously in this country. You are then changing the benchmark to be other countries - and your post is a bit aggressive

Much better to do it when it’s out of hours and not peak time, hardly any point having social distance instructions when the staff ignore it is there

Woman 'arrested for sitting on bench' is anti-lockdown protester
EXCLUSIVE: Marcia Baker, 50, was arrested in Bournemouth on Saturday for 'sitting on a park bench'. The tattoo artist is a Covid conspirator who believes virus is no worse than getting the 'sniffles'.
Sorry yes you can one other person from another household. I guess the point is on one hand we are told things are worse than last year yet this is more liberal

It was more I thought I knew this one and maybe I’d got this wrong too
you can meet one other person from another household for exercise outside. Just don’t see the necessity and it feels like rather than it just being a concession it is become mandatory for every man and his dog to go out of their way to do it
To be fair I was surprised when I read it. All these couch potatoes have suddenly become exercise freaks

Just cos you're gullible enough to believe all the horseshit twitter litter you constant spray about the place, doesn't mean were all sucked in by attention seeking stage managed stunts for social media......
I didn't say they'd broken the law did I you little meff......I'd just fine them for being a pair of social media arsewipes.....
and based on that......your fine would be fucking massive by the way......so button it baby david.

The bloody public, putting London into Tier 2 and not restricting travel. Ignoring SAGE advice etc
The public are stupid the government don’t understand this and make wishy washy policies so it’s the government for me

Exactly. It's like a poor teacher blaming 'these damn unteachable kids' for poor behaviour. You're kind of supposed to expect that and account for it.
