"I can tell you that the flouting I'm seeing isn't in London. No, cos they all want to get away. I have great empathy for those in flats/bedsits/apartments, anywhere without gardens. " I don't have a garden. I've had one Boris walk, which I curtailed because the place was packed. | |||

"Think about it. It’s convenient for them to use that as an excuse. An excuse for what exactly?" The government will bring these restrictions in if they want, regardless. It's just convenient to say 'we're doing it because you won't follow the rules'. | |||

Why don't we blame all the people who have given themselves medical conditions, through their unhealthy life choices, that mean they require ventilators rather than a hot toddy and a week in bed." A GLOBAL pandemic has been on the cards for a while. As for NHS, we go into crisis every winter because of funding cuts in real terms (hospital closures), the building of new hospitals with less beds (eg Peterborough demolishing the district hospital and Edith cavell hospital and replacing it with a city hospital with less total beds at a time of an influx of EU citizens, ie ignoring growth). A&E, it is now common place for hospitals to be nursing in corridors. Lack of professionals - nursing vacancies have fluctuated around 40,000 nurse vacancies in England alone for the past 5 years. Chronic conditions - not every chronic condition can be reduced to lifestyle choices (take autoimmune diseases.... Please, take them)! | |||

The first rule of end of life care is to not extend life or impede death. But to control symptoms (palliative, from to palliate = to ease) such as pain, nausea/vomiting/restlessness. I have met families who have begged for euthanasia and those who have begged to keep mum/dad alive at all costs. It is heartbreaking. | |||

"Flouting these regulations is happening all over the country. Instead of giving them a fine. I'd send them to the families of all those who have died to explain their stupid actions. I for one would welcome stricter measures. Some people in this country need things spelling out to them before they take any notice. just stay the fuck at home. It's not that hard " this  | |||

"Spain and Italy both went into lockdown fully weeks ago but numbers still kept going up, not sure that the government knows what to do just following the crowd because they have no answers. " I think one of the reason it did went up there could be cos there it is tradition for all the generations to live together so the outbreak eould spread quicker as a result of it. | |||

"Seems to me that no health service in ANY country was prepared for this. If the NHS had all of the stuff in stock that they are currently trying to source, then they'd have been slagged off for doing that. This situation is just what it is, an unexpected pandemic with a series of responses based on what was needed balanced against what people would accept.

It's very beneficial for people to be outdoors, vitamin D, mental wellbeing and boosting immune systems for example. This is why I don't think it's very helpful to condemn people who visit their local parks and commons. Angela Rayner (Labour's new deputy) made some very relevant comments on this today. They could just go for a walk "around the block" though couldn't they. They don't need to go to the park to get outside. It's probably just as local to go to the park as it is to walk around the block. And the air is cleaner too, most of the parks in the name and shame section abutt major highways and thoroughfares. The airs cleaner.... right o. "Oddly there is research done by (think it’s) Hallam uni’ that shows if you plant certain plants and bushes it improves air quality inside the boarders by up to 25%. Schools close to major highways have now introduced these plant and the results so far are looking very good. So parks could quite easily rolling this out as well. | |||

" Other countries seem to be coping better than us? There seems to be a valid argument that when we were slow to react. If government can't persuade people to stay inside by being reasonable, how well do you think they'd have done if they just closed everything down on day one? It's dead easy to do in less democratic societies, but not so easy in ours. I'm no fan of this government, or the alternatives to it currently on offer, but this does kinda smack of "damned if they do, damned if they don't'."

It's dead easy to do in less democratic societies, but not so easy in ours. I'm no fan of this government, or the alternatives to it currently on offer, but this does kinda smack of "damned if they do, damned if they don't'." What is smack's of is exactly what they said right at the start. Going full lockdown straight away would be an option for a few reasons one being people's patience would wear out quickly and people would not stay indoors. Second This current generation actually I'm talking pretty much everyone are spoilt brats non of us like being told what to do, thanks to the freedom and independence we have been given by being on the winning side in the last world war but we have become soft and comfortable and like a petulant child don't like being told when we have to go to bed. Third. People are stupid. Individuals are intelligent but as a group people are dumb they turn into a mindless herd following the person in front ( example would be ever sat at a set of temporary traffic lights that take a long time to change guarantee that once one person decides they can't wait and goes at least half a dozen people will follow) I feel that it's fucking shocking that the government is putting all the blame on us yet they appear to be slacking badly on stuff they said they would do testing for example. But it's also fucking shocking that people just can't stay home and do as they are told. It's fuck all to do with London it's a national problem. | |||

Do you check if your neighbours are out in their garden? And if they are do you stay there in? From what I’ve seen of people sitting in parks with a gap between the only close social interaction has been the police." That is not really a good argument, sitting in your own garden is not sitting in a park. The pictures posted to show what people are doing looked like they were close together, however if it was a camera angle that was making it look that way you and others seem to be missing the point, to get to the park you could be touching other things like railings in the park, a park gate on the way in..then someone else touches it after them. Sit down on a bench, then another person sits there after you. If people just did as asked and stayed away there will be less risk. Surely a walk around the block would surface as exercise...sitting on the grass sunbathing certainly isn't | |||

"Not just London. It's mad in the Peak District again. Some people just don't get it, including the Chief Medical Officer in Scotland! A total lockdown may be the only way. Alternatively, begin arresting and locking the rulebreakers in enforced isolation. Just a thought ... " If the government announced that anyone caught violating the law would be put into a camp for two weeks with no medical support if and when they contracted the virus. It might make a few think about their selfish behaviour and those that didn't would be doing the country a great service in helping create our heard protection. | |||

It’s a mindset as far as I’m concerned. I do find it easy enough, mainly because I accept it without question.

Oddly enough I didn't make a comment about those flouting the rules as I just wanted to remark on how different one's sacrifice is to another.
Initially I pondered upon why sunbathing is problematic (albeit with social distancing), then I was reminded that the govt proclaimed one exercise daily was a benefit versus risk assessment - allowing benefits to mind and body, so your vit D intake and getting us lazy brits off our arses (not that they'd say it in those terms).
If it weren't for exercise we'd all be under stricter measures. | |||

This.
I've lost count of the number of times we've had filthy looks from people as we drive by (we have to go out twice daily to tend to animals) because there's two of us and a small child (can't really leave at home!) in the car. I've also lost count of the times we've seen the same groups of kids stood outside the same houses playing together, the same groups of teens (obviously unrelated) hanging around outside shops and the same boy racers doubling the speed limits when overtaking us - and we live pretty much in the middle of butt-fuck-nowhere.
This isn't a city issue by any stretch of the imagination.
And if rules get stricter then it means people like us will have to get used to being pulled over frequently (as will key workers and NHS staff) because people are dicks.

No that's NOT how it works There are rules People should or must adhere to them If THEY do not THEY face the consequences of THEIR actions The speed limit is x If x is broken people die People break the limit Do we stop all people driving My list could be endless Cities do seem to be the difficult areas Perhaps instead of total bans locdowns across the whole county an intelligent organised approach for high population areas for example a one way systems in town and city parks would help I think the effect cabin fever will cause is being underestimated just as the virus is both need improving strategies evolutions I also have zero to worry about I have more than enough space . It's the absolutist rhetoric lack of adaptability for different communities and circumstances a one size forced to fudge not really fit anything approach For example surely flats and high rise dont need a lock down they need a rota at least that would be an intelligent start , some logic rules written to help avoid contagion They have to move to get food help them organise Restrictions are absolutely necessary but very good complementary management of spaces is required alongside Look at my motorway analogy Have a road system working like a town speed is low volume is low accidents numerous Organise the traffic into streams and it works better Point being while on the very sensible necessary movement restrictions also assist with management not just metaphoric road blocks I will reiterate I do not say this for my benefit I'm exceptionally lucky But some of the rhetoric just does not sit right And what the fuck are hospital key health workers doing using public transport They absolutely should have dedicated transport to work | |||

It's the absolutist rhetoric lack of adaptability for different communities and circumstances a one size forced to fudge not really fit anything approach For example surely flats and high rise dont need a lock down they need a rota at least that would be an intelligent start , some logic rules written to help avoid contagion They have to move to get food help them organise Restrictions are absolutely necessary but very good complementary management of spaces is required alongside Look at my motorway analogy Have a road system working like a town speed is low volume is low accidents numerous Organise the traffic into streams and it works better Point being while on the very sensible necessary movement restrictions also assist with management not just metaphoric road blocks I will reiterate I do not say this for my benefit I'm exceptionally lucky But some of the rhetoric just does not sit right And what the fuck are hospital key health workers doing using public transport They absolutely should have dedicated transport to work " What else are they supposed to use if they cannot drive? | |||

"Maybe a good idea is to have a viewing gallery over a Covid ward, make them sit and watch people struggling to stay alive and also watching NHS staff risk their life trying to stop people dying" Actually I thought tag THEM fine THEM confine THEM to house arrest if anyone if found breaking social distance criteria as that's the real make n break of the spread For example if a person decides to go on an hours bike ride their potential harm to our NHS is zero If a person goes into a park and runs against an organised flow not keeping 4 m away that's time for action easily monitored too | |||
