...or just carry on with the tier thing?

[Bobbisox1]

There was a survey on our local news on Thursday night asking how many had flouted the tier 3 rules, it came out with a third of them in Newcastle,Gateshead,Co Durham and Teeside , said they had

[iluvmargie]

Christmas will definitley be cancelled, I'm sure of it. The news is leaning more and more that way.

[emmie]

heaven only knows how many right across the country Bobbi

[emmie]

ILM it won't make a difference to many who haven;t adhered to the rules anyway, they will continue to behave as they always have, ignored rules on mask wearing, being in family bubbles only

[Bobbisox1]

Exactly and my take on it , if he drops us down a tier because we're the lowest, it's a dangerous time to do it, people are finishing work, pubs would open for food and drink, then BINGO back to square one

[emmie]

most on here seem to want to be safe and not sorry. That isn't what some want, they can go about their daily lives with not a care in the world, only if they catch the virus will they maybe sit up and take notice.

[emmie]

and by then it maybe too late.

[emmie]

i only know what i and the family are doing, it up to others to choose their own way. Boris, Nicola can only advise, its not a law.

[Bobbisox1]

Mmm, wonder if the anti vaxxers will refuse treatment should the get the virus?

[emmie]

no idea but Piers Corbyn brother of Jeremy is in the forefront of these anti vaxxers and lockdown deniers.

[emmie]

London has had any number of demos in support of him and his barking mad ideas, Manchester too by the looks of it.

bobbi //, wonder if the anti vaxxers will refuse treatment //
I'll bet they suddenly have an epiphany and acknowledge that Covid 19 does exist.

[emmie]

most likely danny but by then it may be too late.

[emmie]

our small AB snapshot isn;t the country as a whole.

[-SharonA-]

You cannot wait for Boris the dithered to decide right now. He will decide in 3 weeks time when another million have died.

[emmie]

sharon, he is not the only one making the guidelines.

[ummmm]

How can anyone expect everyone to adhere to the rules when they are still working in confined spaces?

It's very hard to social distance in a small office. They need to work to pay their bills. They can't make all their phone calls with a face mask on, it's not practical.

[emmie]

our local shops like waitrose many of the staff don;t wear face masks, the corner shops too. They can only protect so far -

[malagabob]

It’s surprising the number of people I’ve seen not gelling their hands before entering shops here.
I even saw two, a man and a woman enter a shop behind me not wearing a masks. They weren’t British. I drew their attention to the fact. Both of them couldn’t have been exempt.
With the lack of sticking to the rules, it’s no wonder the country is finding it so hard to contain the virus.

[emmie]

my brother works in a business where most don;t wear face masks and can't be socially distanced, like factories and so on and so on
