I fear you may be right. A lot of people have said they've been drinking a lot more.
The issue with that is that when you read online about other services, you often need referral from the GP so it is catch 22. You have to go back to them to open up the door to other services which are now swamped as well.
At least we had a few weeks of "normality" over the summer but if it's going to be another longterm lockdown it may be easier just to find a drug problem and be spaced out the whole time. It wouldn't surprise me if lots of people have turned to drugs and booze
I don't think it's a coincidence that any article on the bbc about drinking in lockdown instantly goes to the top of the most read column.I fear you may be right. A lot of people have said they've been drinking a lot more.
Just to clarify, I agree (and hope) that the restrictions are having an affect....the regional tier threes were before the National lockdown by all accounts. I was saying if they end up having to apply further/stricter measures I would start to question, the effectiveness of some of the measures currently implemented.
Ps it’s a bit more than people not being able to go to the pub though shmmeee ! (As detailed in previous posts).

This is exactly how I think it will go down. It’s out there in the media for a reason.5 day free for all at Christmas could mean 25 days extra restrictions according to the news.
I said that the chief exec at one of the local councils was suggesting a couple of weeks ago that we'd be 'let out' for Christmas, then shut away again until the end of February. Looks like this has been in the works for a while.This is exactly how I think it will go down. It’s out there in the media for a reason.

Personally I'd rather be shut up for Christmas, and have less restrictions sooner, afterwards. I suppose that very probably makes me the minority however but... I wouldn't fancy being one of the people in contact with those venturing out to do their shopping etc straight after this all pans out.

That's from SAGE isn't it? For every one day of loser restrictions an extra 5 days of tighter restrictions.5 day free for all at Christmas could mean 25 days extra restrictions according to the news.
Is anyone hearing anything about schools closing ?
Can people still go on holiday?
In the paper about Mel Sykes travelling to Italy to see her toyboy. How the fuck does that work?
From 5 November to 2 December 2020, travelling away from home, including internationally, is restricted from England except in limited circumstances such as for work or for education.
The FCDO advises against all but essential travel to the whole of Italy based on the current assessment of COVID-19 risks.
If you are returning to the UK from Italy, you will need to self-isolate on your return (unless you are exempt).
Hows this work?

No but it's in both the little uns school's .Is anyone hearing anything about schools closing ?
That seems to be how it works .There's still flights so I guess they won't stop you going but you'll just have to isolate on return
That's what I don't get.That seems to be how it works .
Seems it's up to yourself how to define essential.
You’re tested upon arrival at airports.Hows this work?

We were frustratingly close from suppressing it to a proper low last time out though, would have probably only taken a couple more weeks. That could have given us more leeway this time out, made it far easier to relax for Christmas.
Wouldn't you say a bit longer / tougher restriction in exchange for releasing them for longer / releasing more restrictions is a fair exchange?
It'd be pretty careless to open everything up early for Christmas if the consequence of that was we all shut down forever and a day afterwards, wouldn't it?
I read yesterday there have been fines handed to people using Eurotunnel without a reasonable explanation.That's what I don't get.
I can't nip to my mates house but we could both fly to a different country?
Quite a big drop in cases today and even a reduction in admittances, hopefully a sign of things starting to turn. Residual infection rates will be high for a while though so be silly to come out of this lockdown until they're down.
This is exactly how I think it will go down. It’s out there in the media for a reason.
No I still have to go to work in a COVID factory and having everything else shut makes things twice as miserable. At least give me something to be cheerful about. The right answer was of course close schools but we are past the point of no return there
Can't possibly imagine what is causing thatInfection rates in 10-19 have risen in the last week
Can't possibly imagine what is causing that
Why are you working in a factory producing COVID? Stop working and we might be allowed out quicker!
Like how they split out education into multiple categories. Probably keen to avoid any questions about why they're still open. Total them up and that's 26.6%Apparently track and trace says people are catching it most in Supermarkets.
- Supermarket - 18.3%
- Secondary school - 12.7%
- Primary school - 10.1%
- Hospital - 3.6%
- Care home - 2.8%
- College - 2.4%
- Warehouse - 2.2%
- Nursery preschool - 1.8%
- Pub or bar - 1.6%
- Hospitality - 1.5%
- University - 1.4%
- Manufacture engineering - 1.4%
- Household fewer than five - 1.2%
- General practice - 1.1%
- Gym - 1.1%
- Restaurant or cafe - 1.0%
Huge jump down to Hospital.
