We live in an area with a population of around 5100, and under tighter restrictions, yet a town about 40 minutes with a population of around 106,000 isn't.
To us that is a total farce.
How on earth does that make any sense at all?
Why can't lockdown restrictions be done by postcode area rather than sweeping areas?
That way life could return to more normality, business have a better chance of surviving, and the economy would recover quicker.
Only lockdown the specific areas with high cases for an amount of time then open them back up when numbers drop. |

The Government blanket approach
And when boris been asked this question he goes on about how life matter and people not been doing as told
Not him to blame or the lack of knowledge in this situation
And how they blame people |

And if all 5100 are infected, why should they not be locked down, it's not about volume of population it's about infection |

Personally they opened lockdown too early. Felt they needed to get kids to school to get people thinking to work.
Just kicked the can down the road.
The truth is no matter what the government chooses to do wit it they will have made the wrong choice for many and will get people say they were wrong.
If people acted responsibly then it be easier to manage, but sadly many people don't and so most will be grieved about whatever the government does. |

If you’re in Co Durham, then it was your local council leaders who requested the current restrictions, in fact the leader of Durham CC actually said on TV that the measures didn’t far enough! The leaders of 7 local authorities, Northumberland, Newcastle, North Tyneside, Gateshead, South Tyneside, Sunderland and Durham Went to the government en bloc requesting further measures. |

Yes, you have a valid point. Like we said in another thread, Boris is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. But we do think lockdown ny postcode could work better. |

We are in a similar sized 'village' well under 5000 but share a Preston postcode so where it to be by postcodes, us and the other rural areas where it's also much lower would be affected too..
We are literally surrounded by Chorley, Wigan, Preston with Liverpool some twenty miles away all much higher rates and it's probably the same in lots of other places too..

I’ve been lucky being a farmer I’m out of the way of big cities, but my partner is locked down as she has a Wrexham postcode, joke of it is she’s no where near Wrexham. Infact the next street along has Cheshire postcode. Absolutely madness |

Here is the problem people think they don't have it so shouldn't incur restrictions, whereas i believe those are the EXACT people who should be locked down. Everybody but everybody should be social distancing and masking as minimum, no matter how remote you live! |

maybe if we hadn't had students coming from diddly squat who knows where, the infection rates wouldn't be half as bad up here.it's not the fault of everyone up here. Any idiot could have seen this coming so it doesn't say a, lot for messes Johnson, Hancock, Witty or Vallance |

I can just imagine the outcry if students had been prevented from attending their universities. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t! |

There are those who think another government would do better.
I'm not convinced, because it's the population behaviour that's causing the spread irrespective of what lockdown policies are or have been done. It's us who have one one the main keys to controlling the spread IMO. |

No matter what government does or doesn't do there will always be those who'll blame them, as if they are the cause.
We should all be taking responsibility to reduce the potential spread by our own choices and likewise take responsibility for dumbass activity too.
Some students decides to not physically go to their uni and stay at home as for them it was going to be all online until January at earliest. There are those in the same courses who chose to go to the uni and mix it up. |
