Was there an announcement over night? Seen a status saying they might throw a party as "coronavirus is over". Had two offers to meet today in first 15 minutes. Thought I was upto date but it seems I missed the memo  |

We are going to be so f-cked. And not in the fun way. We already have one of the highest death rates in the world per capita. Went to the garden centre today - only saw one person wearing a mask. Yeah. Me in a mirror.
Scientists are saying it's morphed into a new strain and it is even more contagious than the original. I really wish this was all some big hoax, but it isn't. The USA is imploding. We're next if people don't wake up and start acting like their fellow human beings matter.

I think I missed the memo to! Just got back from work (retail) our maximum no of customers allowed in has gone from 40 to......120!! When I questioned it I was told it's because social distancing has gone down to a metre!!! Ermmmm, no that's only if people wear masks 
Face palm!! |

No,it's not over,you know it's not over.
If others want to meet up,there's not much you can do about it,except refuse to attend it asked,or don't ask to attend.

Wow that's mental, cos it should only be double if distance is halved, someone in charge needs to go back to school!! Hope you stay safe and well xx |

I initially thought that (linear) but then thought about radius - where some aisles could only have one person width ways, now they can have two (in the odd warehouse type stores, maybe 3). |

I thought it was 1 metre if you can't do 2 metres but if you can do 2 metres then stick to 2 metres
I noticed all the shops change around here when 1 metre was mentioned, no longer queuing to go in but a massive queue to pay! |

You're not wrong, but I was providing a theory why one shop has chosen to go from 40 to 120.
I think it's simply down to people using common sense if they have it. |

It’s still 2 metres. In a scenario where 2 metres is not possible, then you can do 1 metre + extra measures like face masks etc.
It’s interesting shops have changed in your area .
I’m in a big shopping centre right now in my local area, and 2 metres is still being applied, and people still queuing up to go into the shops. |

not quite....... maths coming (don't switch off!)
see... 2m by 2m give you an area of 4 metres squared..... if it goes down the 1m by 1m that is an area of 1 metre squares... therefore you can fit 4 lots of 1 metre squared into a 4 metre squared space....
so... in theory they could have gone up from 40 to 160 if they really wanted to push the space...
and here ends todays maths lesson.....   |

You were spot on.
" A square metre is not the same as a metre squared"

Yes and err no.
You are correct, but the amount of Neanderthals out there only read or heard 1m |

"Far from over....
It’s frightening how relaxed people have become
It’s about time. "
We will volunteer your good selves to help out on the local coronavirus ward, when the next wave hits.
After all it is just hype and nothing to worry about. |

Exactly as Fabio has put in his equation.
You can fit a metre square into a circle. |

"No its not but given up reporting people asking to meet. Blatant statuses now asking to meet now. I just won't meet "
Your call but common sense needs to be applied around the most likely to catch it terminally etc., and put measures in place to restart the economy or it will be worse than the 70’s and 80’s which were really bad... just my tuppance  |

Well if it's busy and people can't keep 2 metres away from you you should be wearing one. |

I think the coronavirus has been going on for a lot longer than we know.
And it seems that people online and in the news are saying things how they want to be perceived and not how they actually are.
If there is one thing I've learned from this, it is not to pay to much attention to the news because it is over exaggerated. |

According to the real experts this Pandemic is far from over and the British public should be very wary and take precautions and advice very seriously from these experts especially with bungling Boris at the helm of one of the worst COVID19 records of all nations. It is only by lockdown measures and social distancing that countries have been able to control the spread of it. It is shitty times but only by adhering to the rules will some sort of normality return with work places opening up and leisure facilities being available to all. It is only the uneducated and selfish that put all this at risk. |

That makes no sense. Are you saying stay lockdown or start mixing slowly. If start mixing then that's what's the government is trying to do?

Yeah start mixing with rules adhered to follow advice and only by doing that will we get back to some sort of normality and this is the message from experts and relayed by the government. Unfortunately this government has not displayed a clear and concise messages to the public and this is problematic when the bulk of the population have no respect for whoever is relaying these messages |

So glad I read this post as I was beginning to think the theorists and neanderthals of the world were the only ones on here to test out natural selection
No point reporting people on here as nothing gets done. I just add everyone who have been meeting or are looking to meet to my block list.
Covid-19 is still very active.

Saturday had the most infections around the world in one day. Over 215000.
Now flights are starting back up with plenty of blacked balled foreign travellers that will do a boris's dad fast one...by travelling to a non quarantine country, then fly here.
Not a fecking chance this is over... |

On Thursday, after the WHO held a two-day online meeting of 1,300 scientists from around the world, the agency’s chief scientist said the consensus for now was that the I.F.R. (fatality rate) is about 0.6 %— which means that the risk of death is less than 1 %.
Lockdown was never about stopping everyone from catching covid, it's time to end this SD malarkey....and get everything opened up... Properly.... |

Here and elsewhere, I keep seeing way too many statuses, comments and statements along the lines of "now lockdown's lifted"...
....probably from the same people who'll fly off somewhere for their all-important holiday in the sun, get caught up in a local lockdown like those being re-imposed in Spain, and then shout and scream that the government must immediately bring them home...
....an Easyjet flight went to the then COVID-free Channel Islands when they re-opened on Friday - confirmation announced today that two passengers have since returned positive test results. Quarantine time for a quarter of the people on the plane... |

Yup, I'm sick of seeing these status updates on here and getting pushy messages asking for 'fun' meets. We are a long way from normal. |

Actually reporting them, puts a block in place between you and them.
No point in expecting anything else, it is a sex site after all. |
