Probably for the first time ever I’m going to agree with manwork!. So it is dangerous for me to meet 6 friends even if we are socially distanced in a park but it’s ok for 1000 people to group together in a football stadium. There will be surfaces like hand rails and toilets that will be touched by numerous people, fans in the same rows will have to get really close when passing each other to get to their seats, along with many other reasons why it’s far more dangerous.
So why can’t I meet friends in a park but football grounds, pubs and soon theatres are reopening? it’s all about money now and not people’s health. Full steam ahead with opening businesses while the number of infections rises, with a token effort made in imposing restrictions when no money is involved. But why should anyone listen or adhere to the rule of 6 when they see other more unsafe activities are being green lighted? that’s the dangerous message the government is sending out.
I can’t imagine the finances are there for a second lock down so if we do lose control of keeping infections in check the results to the most vulnerable may be catastrophic. Mass gatherings like sporting events played a huge part in spreading it first time round, so even with measures why risk it at a time when infections are growing rapidly.
I knew you’d see the light
