The General Covid19 Thread

What’s everyone’s opinion on this ‘saving Christmas’ bollocks?

Feels like a dangerous pandering to media induced sentiment. Personally I’d rather have Christmas with my household only than ‘save christmas’ and go into extra lockdowns and have a greater chance of catching the virus.

Seems fucking stupid to me.

Mad_Cyril I sort of agree but let me present this scenario:
I live on my own in Leeds, my dad died a month ago so my mum is now on her own in Oldham and my brother lives in Wirral (with his family). Normally I would drive over to pick up my parents and take them to my brother’s and then drive them home again. I’m not so bothered about me but should my mum be made to spend Christmas alone?
I don’t have any answers nor am I trying to be a twat, I’m just pointing out that it’s not always straightforward.

Yeah I think of it from my friends point of view who’s businesses are closed during lockdowns. It’s not fair on them to essentially have a party followed by another lockdown.

For me it should be consistent regional controls and targeted ‘at risk’ age groups should be isolating thus allowing something relating to a functioning economy.

It’ll be ‘BAU’ on the Christmas front at Casa Smalls.

Only on Christmas Day though, have to be respectful in some regards.

TitianWarrior I don’t think the police have the manpower or care about such a scenario.

I think it’s fairly clear that the new powers exist to break up house parties, raves, mass gatherings

Sorry to hear that mate.

Its definitely not straightforward, nothing in life is.

I’m with MC - it’s fucking mental that we would ease measures to have a normal Christmas and have more severe lockdowns after (or even before). Fucking stupid - it’s one fucking day. It’s for thickets
