[Misc] COVIDIOTS hot spots

Try Uber, Just eats, Stuart etc delivery. If none of them deliver to your area, then find out if any family or friends can order the food from their phones to their address, and if so, get them to drop it outside your front door. Lives saved.
Well yes, there should be personal responsibility but there isn’t. That why we have leaders and police etc. To set boundaries and ENFORCE them.
One of the biggest factors in the failure of the U.K. to deal with Covid effectively is the lack of enforcement.
Every country that has has strict penalties and enforced them has done well overall.
No good letting everyone get on with it unchecked and then moaning that people haven’t stuck to the rules.
It is absolutely Boris’s responsibility to follow up on the laws he has made. 100%
People can’t be trusted.
If a class is unruly it’s the teachers failure. Same principal. People are ****ing idiots, they need taking in hand.

No. Delivery slots should also be for anyone reluctant to go in to a supermarket for fear of their life. Like me.

This. I've had to send my youngest in but I'm only doing it Tue/Wed/Thursday when I'm not at home. I sent the school my key worker letter explaining what I do so there was no argument. I find out the pub landlords kid is there whose wife works at the pub.
WTAF?
Call them - they will likely put you on the vulnerable list and you’ll have better access to slots.

This. If you are physically able to get to a supermarket then better that than taking up delivery slots that could be allocated to those shielding.
What I would say is that this time round, seeing far fewer people without masks in Tesco Burgess Hill.
I live on my own. No point in ordering online, I'd never get through the minimum delivery before it went off. Much better that people in my circumstance go into shops and save slots for the elderly and infirmed. I pop in once every four days when I come off nights.
What like Spain ? Some of the very toughest rules/enforcement and penalties, and one of the worst records.

I call 8 shirtless and maskless guys playing basketball all crowded around one net a blatant breach of COVID’s legal and moral rules, hence the thread and implied advice to avoid. I don’t care how lonely they might be.
I agree with your point.
There is only one solution to this. The armed forces patrolling the streets. Its such an obvious thing we should have implied years ago to maintain order. How long are we going to wait for this? Its getting ridiculous. Too many people just want the old 'not caring about a virus' ways back which caused all of this. We need a new normal where people in the future don't mingle so inconsiderately, and armed forces will be required to implement this into our culture and society. Thank god they're being implemented with the roll out of this vaccine. Let's just hope that will be the beginning of better order and not all they will be required for.
They got hit early and people were mixing in numbers indoors and then going out and about. They may have had tough restrictions but they mixed.
But maybe others are right. Let's not enforce the restrictions. This approach seems to be yielding fantastic results.

You cant get Deliveroo in rural places so you do have to go to a supermarkets unfortunately as home delivery slots are difficult to get
I would have no issue with the army on the street, although they are never armed when carrying out logistical ops and only very rarely armed when policing civilians. It would be a good measure to take. But I can see why some would object.

Lad i work with went round to relatives to check on them Christmas day even though he knew that had tested positive . You can guess the rest.
And Italy. Aggressively enforced laws with the combined efforts of police and military in waves 1 and 2, yet a CV19 death capital both times. Can only put this down to the ‘inventiveness’ of Europeans (except Danes and Norwegians) to furtively break laws behind closed doors.
Whilst the Taiwanese and South Koreans comply and all live on.
Really ? Just checked ours.....extract for 2 weeks or so ahead...almost any day/time available. Rocking horse shit ?
People do not need to be gathering in garden centres. Full stop. There are plenty of covid safe ways to meet. Or you can make a video call. Put the radio on, phone a mate, meet a mate outdoors. Plenty of ways to avoid loneliness without risking lives and drastically extending the time we have to be in lockdown.
