After cancelling most sports, if they shut pubs as well then I will kill more people than this virus could

Fair point. So tempted to go for a pint later. Nothing else to bloody do.
Resteraunts are probably pretty safe places, so long as good hygiene is practised
Don’t see this happening any time soon. Just been hearing and reading about this ‘herd immunity’ plan the government is supposedly implementing, which involves allowing the virus to speed 70% of the population to
protect against a ‘second wave’ in the winter.
Sounds absolutely mental to me but then again I’m no expert at all on these things.
Won’t see the close of bars or restaurants etc if that really is their plan though.
The most effective way to stop it is to make socialising in any form illegal. Which of course seems ridiculous. But then people could just touch some kind of surface that an infected person has touched and bam. Infected.
Quiz night tonight, darts competition tomorrow. Hopefully it will put others off then I can win both
If they don't wash their hands that is.

Why cancel sporting events if this is the plan?

Because it is the players and staff getting it. Before Arteta was diagnosed football was going ahead.

And to presumably ease pressure on emergency services?
So long as you didn’t get to close to people, washed your hands and tried to avoid touching your face you’d probably be relatively fine at a pub and not catch anything, even if others weren’t doing the same. However those things are easier said then done, could easily just have washed hands touch a surface then scratch your face without thinking about it
You can't get it if you are drunk anyway.

The governments strategy is incompetence. They don’t understand the virus yet are happy to infect most of the population.

What the hell are you talking about now?

Or not wash your hands properly. I doubt most wash their hands properly

At an old company I worked for we had this mental health and safety chap. Mental because he used to take everything to the nth degree.
When there was the norovirus scare back in 2008 he got a specialist firm in to detail how to wash hands. Everyone thought he was being a plonker as usual. But everyone had to do it. Entailed this cream applied to your hands before having to wash it off. Then put your hands under the ultraviolet light to see if you've washed it all off.
Pretty eye opening, the backs of the fingers because of the crevices was where more attention was needed as well as between forefinger and thumb.
What good is closing bars and restaurants while the mass transit systems are still operating?
Imagine what could happen if just 1 infected person covers his mouth with his hand while sneezing or coughing then travels on say 3 trains to get to work in the rush hour.
Any surface he touches will become contaminated and will be touched by hundreds of people in the next couple of hours.
Can you see many of these people using hand sanitiser every time they touch any surface in the underground system?
How about escalator hand rails, lift buttons, hand rails on trains?
What about busses, or even taxi cabs?

Extremely valid point, a nice warm mass transit system crammed with people in a constrained space.
all you need do is touch everything but not your face then guess what wash your hands.
its not hard.
