Corona Virus Treatment

Sadly that kind of corner shop around our way are more likely to sell Lambrini than bread flour - they see self-raising as being an extravagance

 

It already is, FC, and Police are being informed to not being so rigid.

I agree completely, FC, but my point is that I'm wary of such anecdotes, and that if it did happen a note of the Officer(s) number should be taken and it be referred to the local MP as, like I said the Government is taking the line that such overstepping and beyond reasonable action is not the policy they want. The Police also have a duty, like the Public, to behave in a reasonable and civil way.
There seem's to be more anger over the Derbyshire Police employing Drones over the Peak District to warn tourists and Walkers that they should not be there and possibly carrying the Virus into the Peak District Villages and town.

 

Just a thought - as people get C19 and recover, are they not going to feel more inclined to ignore the restrictions and go about their lives 'normally'...? Will add to the pressures

 

You clearly have not dealt with officers of The Met - - behaving in a reasonable and civil way is not exactly a byword for them.

Equally, I would go back to my point about minimum wage staff not only not being in a position to, but also being very reluctant indeed to challenge an officer of the law. To them, if that officer says that 'X' should not he sold, then that is it, they are highly unlikely to question it. Hell, Mrs C recently struggled to get them to understand that they were legally obliged to fix the one drinking water tap in their building, so not even the managers are equipped to make these sort of challenges - and again, be as wary as you like, the fact remains that I have this straight from the horses mouth.

I agree that too much is being made of the situation in the Peak District - yes, people should not be driving up there to go and exercise (with or without a dog), and the police are quite right to challenge them on that; is using a drone to do so the way to do that though? No, not in my world - that is big brother stuff, and is not acceptable. However, the reports of them dying the water black in a 'beauty spot' (as has even been reported by the BBC) is utter rubbish - this is nothing at all to do with C19, but instead happens every year as a deterrent to keep people out of the water as it is highly toxic.

The trouble is, the whole time that you have things happening such as their behaviour in Boots or them spying on folks with drones, then it does not take much of a leap for folks to believe that stories like the dye in the water are real.

 

Well, there is still no clear evidence that people who have contracted Covid 19, and recovered, have developed an immunity to it and therefore they, as matters stand, could catch it again. So, recovering from Covid 19 is not a Green Light to ignore the restrictions.

 

You might want to tell that to the government NHS fella on the BBC right now - he has literally just said that anyone who has had it will 'likely be immune and would therefore be able to return to work' in reference to medical and care staff.

 

Timing is everything lol
