Lockdown, What Lockdown ?

[Sqad]

Morrison's car park......packed solid.
Petrol station....queuing.
Promenade.....bumper to bumper for 1.5 miles
Coast road pavement packedwith pedestrians.
Hot dog and ice cream parlour.......packed with folks ..no 2 metre distancing.

The whole thing of lockdown is being ignored by a significant number of people.
It is madness..............

and you saw this all from your house?

I agree Sqad, it really is madness. And then some people wonder why things aren’t getting any better.

Mrs sqad reports after driving to shops.

Like us all....our own ventures out are "essential". It's everyone else...

[teacake44]

Well the ice cream parlour and hot dog, should be closed down, you only need supermarkets open. But if you have un-clear messaging coming from government, ie take away, then who's fault is it??

[Mamyalynne]

At least the pier isn't too packed.

The peelers were outside our house this morning stopping cars to ask where they were going

[Zacs-Master]

I agree. Judging by the traffic on the roads many aren’t observing it. Crazy.

If the Derbyshire police had been out and about around here they’d have had a field day. People in groups of more than two and shamelessly buying and drinking coffee.
It’s not right but I find it hard to get too worked up about it.

Hence the 1,000s of new infections a day.

Yesterday deaths were over a thousand never mind infections.

We’ve had lockdowns and social distancing - very necessarily - for 10 months now and I think people are fed up.
I also think that just maybe the rules are part of the problem tho I’m not saying they shouldn’t exist.
What is needed as I always say is common sense but you cannot legislate for that: literally

[theshedman]

Our tesco wasn't too bad this morning, no one at the petrol station, a few people walking past the house on their daily exercise and looking at the webacam not that many on the sea front.

A neighbour, living alone in her eighties maintains she is ‘abiding by the rules’. Except she is not. Now she and her whole (supposedly intelligent) family has Covid and she had the cheek to moan that the vaccination she had hasn’t worked. Madness.

Thankfully its eerily quiet here. Suggest Mrs Sqad avoids shopping on a Saturday when people who are working Mon - Fri visit. Same people try to get some fresh air and a walk with their children. Mid week, mid afternoon is much safer.

o come on
he was taking the dog for a walk - very sociable his dog

The worst I've seen it around here, was when it changed to tier 4, from 2, and everyone went out to get their own Christmas food. Queues everywhere.

[teacake44]

Its not just the general public, in my area a lot of businesses that were closed in the first lock down are still open. One example is Wilko, nothing in their shops in my view is essential, but what I did notice is they have put bottles of pop and a few sandwiches to the front of the shop, to be seen as selling food.

[roslyn251254]

Wilko sell medicines so its ok for them to open
