I think it's often either or If you are walking along the street and not wearing a mask then it's advisable to keep a distance from others If in a shop or where it is less easy to keep a distance then masks are required. I am sure some people do both and feel safer, whilst others may not. In UK it is not compulsory to wear a mask everywhere. Shops and public transport are the main places where it's now compulsory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The states in that US that "opened up" before meeting C-19 reduction benchmarks are the ones now seeing the most cases. Much of the new transmission is traced back to bars, restaurants, family gatherings, large group gatherings, and lack of PPE. The US is basically f*cked.

There is no way that at this point in time, imagine that we are completely in the clear. Like yourself, I have observed many people who don't seem to care about themselves and I have to say that in the main it has been the younger generation.

galenkia Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 40 minutes ago, Nightcrawler said: I went to a pub in Bromley with some friends on Friday night. We got there early just before 7. Before lockdown it was a very busy place and nowhere to sit quite often. We walked in and got a table straight away and downloaded their app to order drinks which came in 5 minutes. Plenty of people in the beer garden. By about 9pm it was full and felt completely normal. I noticed that by that time that there were a few queuing at the entrance as they were obviously doing a head count of occupancy and those leaving. In my local area, nearly all of the pubs are open but without going inside, hard to know how busy they were. Restaurants are open, most of them and yesterday night I drove through town centre. Lot of traffic and felt like normal Things are picking up, more people going back into work, DIY stores open, garages, shops, almost everything except for Nightclubs and Cinemas. In London there are some real signs of things getting back to how they were I have not been to the West end but I am sure that will be much quieter than before with absence of tourists at what is normally a busy time. I bet many of the West End businesses have felt the pinch and the overheads are expensive in Westminster Me and a mate are due to pay the balance of the music weekend in Great Yarmouth soon that is in early November. At the moment we don't know what to do. Either pay it and hope it happens or lose the £70 deposit. You don't know if they will survive if venues are still gonna stay shut.

Of course then you stand to lose all the money. At the moment all music gigs and events are off limits for public gatherings. Anything can happen in the next few months but hopefully, fingers crossed you will still able to go. Massage Parlours are still closed too, or at least meant to be. Mind you they will be the very last places to open 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I can't see music venues, and this is standing only so no distancing, opening this year. Will wait a bit to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is in early November, I assume it will be indoors. Doesn't that in itself make it less likely to happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he would walk by the C-19 "closed" Asian massage shops and as he passed, doors would open slightly and women would beckon him to come in. 😎 Edited July 27, 2020 by lazarus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightcrawler Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I have just read that a pet cat in Glasgow has tested positive for Covid 19. That's all we need I suspect that all cats will have to be put down to eliminate the spread back to humans.

See, this is what living in the boonies does to a man. There is no mandate where I live. 6 feet = a mask. A mask =less than 6 feet. There is a no both. Where did you come up with this nonsense? That's the more troubling question. Hope you don't vote. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
