French 11pm bar lockdown

"Limiting the opening hours reduces the time that people can be in potential contact with Covid.
Pretty basic science I'd have thought...
So you go to the bar at 1pm and leave at 11pm ?
"
That's an hour safer than 12pm. |

The French dont have the same drinking culture as sections of the English public. |

"What a load of bullshit.
"
Totally agree. Oh unless they have told the virus it can’t go into French pubs before 11:15 lol.
Same as when they set a time for Quarantine from a country. Your safe if you land at 3:59 but not safe if your back in England at 4:01. |

Would you prefer it if everything was permanently locked down? There has to be a cut off...just like the speed limit is 30 but hey why not 31 or 32. |

Yes... in Greece it’s 12, I think in Lagos Nigeria it’s still 12, has been for some time. So it cuts the socialising from 6 hours to 2-3 hours per night as people in hot countries don’t get out for dinner till 9 or 10 if they are working. |

"Apparently bars in France have to close at 11pm..
You can't Catch it before 11pm I am guessing..
I'm sure you can but I'm guessing its part of their measures to try and control it."
Its like parents telling there daughters to be home by a certain time,they used to think that stopped them getting pregnant  |

This..
Do you sit there from 8-11 you are safe but enter at 10 and you only have one hour..
Explain that one... |

Not a great analogy... Its a bit like wanting them home by a certain time so they weren't around as many piss heads for as along... Thereby reducing the likelihood they'd come into contact with someone undesirable. |

I would think closing at 11pm is pretty black and white ... |

It’s only flawed if you’re looking for a way round the guidelines or bleating about ‘losing my rights’ or some such idiotic notion. It’s a fine balance between economy, public health and freedom of movement .... shorter opening hours is an effort to meet the needs of three conflicting requirements. What’s not to understand? |

Your points! Previously teachers shouldn’t be back at school.... now 11pm is the correct control for closing bars to prevent/ reduce transmission! It’s good that you now seek to balance the economy, public health and freedom of movement. The very best we can expect from a teacher is to learn!
I spend 4 hours 7-11in a bar with 300 people 3 of which are Covid positive, or I spend 4 hours (8-12)in a bar with 300 people 3 of which are Covid positive... statistically which would result in higher rates of transmission? |

"So it's safe between 8 and 10 as long as they shut at 11?"
The art of being deliberately obtuse... or plainly obtuse... No one is saying is safe between those hours, it’s a compromise as it was pointed out before and a way to try to reduce the overall risk or transmission in the community, it’s a basic concept.
The results should be assessed and the strategy may be to be changed if not effective, simple |

No, this it’s not a lab study that requires a control sample, the comparison of figures in the number of new cases per week should give an indication of whether is working or not |

Sorry I don’t know the full story.... is this a reduction in the final hour ? Two? From previous week? A study of those visiting bars, and staying till the last, in isolation ? (With no other factors ? ) |

You don’t need to specifically study those visiting bars, the effect on the overall population of the measure introduced should give an indication of whether the measure is effective or not and the level of efficacy. Daily/weekly number of overall new cases compared with periods when the measure hadn’t been introduced yet would determine whether the measure is considered helpful or not |

So there are no other variables to be measured.... a decline is a success due to closing early, status quo or higher shows the control to be ineffective? Is that right? |

Nobody said there are no other variables, of course there are and in a complex situation as is assessing the effect of a particular measure in the context of a pandemic a judgement call has to be made. But this particular thread is about the effect of closing time of public bars.
Of course you knew this, but intellectual dishonesty is so tempting in discussions... some people mistake trying to be clever with actually being clever, again, whether deliberately or not |

What you fail to understand with this example is that we are not talking about YOUR risk as an individual here. Or your individual capability of transmitting covid. But the likelihood of transmission in the whole of the community. The premise is that the total amount of time engaged in social interaction by the whole community is going to have an impact in the spread of the disease. You could go about it by limiting the maximum amount of time each person spends in a bar, but for practical reasons is a lot easier to set a cut off point in closing time.
Of course there are health risks who affect people individually, eg, if you smoke or are exposed to asbestos there is a risk to your personal health. This doesn’t apply to a transmissible disease. And then, the mechanism of transmission is another factor. If I’m a risky swinger that engages in bareback sex, my risk of getting a sti may be high, but I’m not going to pass it to say my father in law by sitting with him having a chat over a cup of tea. Whereas I could transmit covid through the normal activity of talking to someone.
Unless one is too stupid to comprehend this or too selfish to care about it, it’s a simple concept that one should assess individual risk plus the risk to the whole community.

"This only applies to bars in the Cap D'Agde naturist village, I haven't seen anything to suggest it's a nationwide rule (yet)."
This is the virus forum therefore let’s not let the facts/truth get in the way of the blah blah blah.

The Continental holiday month ended last weekend. Very few people, mostly residents, and cheapskates like us who won't pay peak season prices, remain in the village. A pretty pointless political gesture. |

It is but some people don' get that. However lets be honest the more people drink the less likley they are going to maintain social distancing so closing early may not be a bad idea.
