COVID - general discussion - Temp Locked

People can do what they wish for me as long as they keep their distance and keep their clothes on I am not the least concerned.

Hi Bill, I didnt say it was fake more but more likely maybe what in my workplace, when I was working, was called a "trumour".

The reasoning being that you need the true part, increasing covid breaches, to 'sell' the rest of the story.

Have not seen any comment from the ACC but that is, for me, just as likely part of the reason it was promulgated.

You wont be coming to our beach much , we have a large contingent of swimmers in wet suits and skins, and we do have a very large naturalists beach, bit chilly around the nether regions just now, but some folk are very brave , not sure what PC plod makes of all of this, but they were in this morning as every morning so i guess it is ok

Nah, wont be likely to be near anybody's beach for quite a while Ruffs. Keeping myself to myself. 

and you both miss the point entirely

"We both no doubt thought that we would prefer to not infringe peoples rights to drink coffee given the situation"

under normal times i would not infringe peoples rights to drink coffee, or the coffee shack to make some trade, but these are not normal times, we are in the middle of a global pandemic and if in drinking coffee they are not aware of what is going on around them and are making "SOCIAL DISTANCING" very difficult for everybody then we should all object, it is our right and what we need to do if we are ever to get out of this mess

Indeed Ruffs it is your right to be concerned about others drinking coffee and other antisocial pursuits and it is my right to be equally unconcerned because I keep my distance. 

The photos of the ladies in question show them walking at least 2 metres apart with no one else in the vicinity except possibly the numerous police who were there but out of camera shot. I don't think social distancing or lack of it has anything to do with it in this instance. The ladies obviously obtained their takeaway drinks from somewhere that was allowed to be open so why aren't they allowed to drink it?

 Well i hope you do stay safe, but remember it could be that 1 person in every 30 is covid positive so when you next visit your supermarket , or maybe have to queue for your vaccination , mind how you go, and I  hope/am concerned that everybody around you is taking social distancing seriously
