Who remembers social distancing?

Their grannie brings her car!!  There is a fifth school which is a special needs/disabled kids secondary and a stream of mini-buses transport them over a very wide area. That school was open during the lock-down as a "hub" apparently!

Here, in the Isle of Man .... residents are allowed off the island, but must self-isolate for 14 days on return.

This week we have seen one person jailed for 6 weeks .... Also a 64 year-old .... has been jailed for 4 weeks!

So, basically, you have your own miniature fascist state over there. Well done!

I'd never thought of Western Australia as a fascist state, but I expect the guilty parties in the IOM are glad they aren't there:

It may be Draconian but it is working.

Far better than a field of moronic teen and twenties having a Rave, leaving tonnes of litter and spoiling the environment for nearby residents.

Coupled with it being a Bank Holiday Weekend here in the UK which if people ignore the Covid precautions then I fully expect the Government to introduce fat stronger punitive fines than the £100 slap on the wrist.

Long term the denegration of society values we are seeing will quite possibly result in a change of Government actions.

In Asda this morning I counted 32 people (not counting children and staff) who were not wearing face-coverings and were not distancing. (Yes I know about exceptions, my cousin has COPD and wears a mask and so does a relative with severe learning difficulties). Their staff say nothing can be done.
There wasn't much sanitising being done either!! Is every supermarket the same?

In Asda/Robroyston on Friday morning, saw nobody without a mask.

Hello, hello, hello what's happened here, then? I thought this thread had been locked but now - hey presto - its unlocked.

I thought I understood why it had been locked (too political? though, how you isolate politics from anything these days is beyond me). Not just being awkward, though I know I have a PHD in it, but I'd really like to understand (for future reference) why its now unlocked???
