'People have relaxed too much' .... have they?

[SqidgeBum]

This evening Deputy Chief medic Van Tam said the rise in cases were because 'people have relaxed too much' and we all need to take things more seriously. This has made me a bit angry to be honest. I am of the camp who doesnt understand how the shops, restaurants, and pubs can open and the government actively encourage us all to get out and spend, the schools open and we are told its safe, and people are being encouraged to go back on tubes and buses to offices, but its then somehow OUR fault when cases rise.

Was this not inevitable? Did the government not know this would happen as a result of opening things up? I feel pretty peeved that the public are being made out to be the bad guys when we are acting on government advice.

What do people think? Have people become too lax?

@SqidgeBum

When they say 6 people socially, does that mean hobby classes too? As far as I know, a gym can hold a session inside once people are socially distanced. Can my craft group hold a session of 8 people socially distanced? Or is it just physical exercise thats ok? The class was due to resume next week.

Sorry. Wrong thread :-/

That sounds sensible.

aaaand this is why lockdown happened. Glad you messed it up for us all. 👍

Maybe Dowser isn't in the UK?

That would be the only reason anyone would say that I presume. Because surely nobody has been that selfish.
