I live 5.6 miles from my golf course so what am I supposed to do? 2. Everyone else apart from me will take the pish so what's the point? If only I lived 5.6 miles away. As I said, I’m 7.5 miles. I just don’t know what to do. Seriously though, ‘don’t be a dick’ is sound advice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wee bit of common sense, screw the nut... etc. Fair enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you do that? Special Constables setting up checkpoints? The whole thing depends on the majority taking on the advice by consent, there's no way of policing it beyond token arrests of Government advisers. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyderspaceman Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 You won't like this particularly but it's great news for this tartan frog. Quote Edouard Philippe presented the phase 2 of the containment exit plan this Thursday May 28 and confirmed restaurants, bars and cafés are to reopen "in all departments starting June 2" but with "temporary restrictions" in orange areas that is to say Paris and Ile-de-France. In these areas, sole café, bar and restaurants terraces are allowed to reopen. This measure will be set for at least three weeks. I'll be pished in the local cafe next Tuesday... then I'll be heading to the hotel bar. I sincerely hope you all get out to play soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy has banned travel between its regions for months. In the UK context you conduct far more patrols on public transport and at obvious destinations as well as random spot checks on the road as well - with actual punishments for those breaching the rules. Your alternative solution of good old British common sense coming to the fore hasn't exactly had a roaring success in handling the outbreak so far. And it'll only get worse when city dwellers all start flocking to the closest amenities available to them from tomorrow based on the government's literal advice to them.

Ditto Edinburgh and the likes of Portobello beach. The idea to advise against people from say Inverclyde travelling to Dumfries or Fife (or vice versa) to walk along the river / sea front seems sensible to me, for a few weeks anyway. D&G has had 3 confirmed cases in the last 14 days, Fife 37 (with just 2 last week), Greater Glasgow 427. It makes sense to limit the exposure of those in the likes of D&G and Fife where symptomatic cases of the virus are practically non existant. That it's to be the nicest weekend of the year so far is irrelevant tbh. Edited May 28, 2020 by Todd_is_God 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're claiming that it makes more sense from a public health perspective to have the people of greater Glasgow pack into their parks like sardines rather than a risk a sole Border bumpkin catching it instead? Seems legit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Greater Glasgow has a problem with the virus going forward, restrictions can be re-introduced there to slow it whilst letting the rest of the country function. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what way would letting the R rate skyrocket and thus a return to greater restrictions within the largest economic centre of the country serve the best interests of a competent government right now? Leaving aside all the extra cases, hospital burdens and deaths aside, what you're suggesting is illogical nonsense. The onus right now should be to limit overall contagion in the country's population by allowing the maximum sensible range for outdoor activities - because the urban population of Scotland is poorly served by immediately adjacent outdoor space. The more options that they have, the fewer of them will be in any given public space and so the government's beloved social distancing advice can be more easily adhered to. They cannot have it both ways here. Edited May 28, 2020 by vikingTON 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
