Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Last weekend it was a family from London going fishing in Devon.
Yesterday it was a family from London going for a spin to the Lake district.
Both were fined and sent home but no mention of how much the fine was.
If they had been fined a £1000, it would be all over every media platform in hours.

I believe if an autopsy is carried out or the person is already known to have a notifiable disease, the notifiable disease is also recorded on death certificate, regardless of actual cause.

Maybe you need to read the post I replied to as you stated “I'll keep my religious beliefs off this forum, if SILH does likewise” is that not directly aimed at him?

Tbf, I have never seen SILH attack anyone about their views, yes he will defend his, but attack someone else, sorry, never seen it.

Let’s be honest, SILH and his religious views/faith/beliefs etc rub some people up the wrong way, no different to some of my views do or others do to me, the difference is none of us are forced to respond or even see them.

We all slip up, but we certainly shouldn’t be advocating certain posters refrain from airing their views because some of us don’t like them, any points of view that are distasteful or crude or disgusting can always be reported for mods to deal with.

I agree with everything you said there. Good post .

A serial lockdown ignorer here in Spain, stopped 6 times, has just been given a 6 month sentence. Bit harsh? I think 1 month would have been enough.
 
It is about it being a deterrent as much as a punishment. A few £1,000 highly publicised fines (so long as they were truly deserved) would do wonders for getting the message across.

Although I'd have no problem with cruxifiction - for a first offense ;-) Best thing the Romans ever did for us.

Here are the Police guidelines:
  • instruct them to go home, leave an area or disperse
  • ensure parents are taking necessary steps to stop their children breaking these rules
  • issue a fixed penalty notice of £60, which will be lowered to £30 if paid within 14 days
  • issue a fixed penalty notice of £120 for second time offenders, doubling on each further repeat offence

Would that only be a seasonal punishment?

For some balance, I'd like to point out the thousands upon thousands that have done the right thing... Making it a whole lot easier to pick out the relative handfuls of DH's...

That is an interesting point, when we were involved with a breast cancer charity they ran a campaign that one in ten women would die of breast cancer.
Checking that stat we found that they were including many elderly women. If a woman of 95 dies, something must go on the death certificate.
My mum is 95 and has had breast cancer for the last three years, it has never been a problem for her, she takes one pill a day and apart from a dodgy hip is in good health.

I guess the 'cause of death' would be the bus although I'm not sure i.f they would be added to the daily covid numbers. I've heard of people recently who were admitted to Hospital with a serious condition who caught Covid while in the hospital and died, 'Eddie Large' (Little and Large) being one recently.
