And that's no way to talk about the government. https://www.itv.com/news/2020-05-30...n-easing-lifting-england-coronavirus-covid19/
Well arrogant and stupid is actually it is spot on, so fair play.
Coronavirus - political views - supporting or otherwise...

The information is clear. The issue is people beginning to feel the problem is over and so ignoring it or interpreting it to meet their own needs. If we need to go back to lockdown, how much support will the public give the decision a second time?

My point was picking up on the issue of the 'shielded' not understanding they could actually go out, albeit with caution.

Genuine question. What does your post mean? I have read it a few times and it makes little sence to me.

What an omnishambles is our handling of this lockdown
Dentist came to know they are reopening via a ticker during BoJo's 'lockdown is over' speech/bluster. No one told them - not the governing bodies, nor the insurance, nor the companies. No guidelines were published. It is a case of every man/woman to themselves as they try to figure out how to work in a dental clinic. They are frontline as they use aerosols into patient mouths and now need PPE. Guess what NO F****ing PPE.
I spent my afternoon trying to make phone calls and search on the interweb of ppe kit. nothing yet. Govt wont supply it either

The Government does not provide PPE to anyone.
Our dentist was using visor, mask and gloves long before this virus.

How long have the dentists had to realise that they are going to have to reopen, that keeping 2 metres away might be a bit of a stretch and therefore they might have to develop a plan...
Any omnishambles here is down to the individual dentists.

It really wasn’t overly difficult to understand, but maybe you have to be of a certain mindset...
The same Government that is telling us to trust the Experts, also told us that we didn’t need experts previously, then told us to trust our instincts more recently
Happy to help ?

Now I understand.
But then punctuation can make sentences easier to understand.
As for the original statement I can't recall the Government asking the public to trust the experts.
They have consistently said they are relying upon advice from scientists before making their decisions.

So it's about Brexit? Also, wasnt that a different Government?

I am not that complicated. If I ask for something to be explained it's because I dont follow its meaning. But if you want to use it for silly comments then I dont understand you either.

Why are you so obsessed with Brexit?
If you are so against it I’m sure there are things that could be done; why not write to your MP?

Unless they are wanting to relax lock down measures to distract attention from the PMs special adviser breaking lock down rules. I can't see any other reason for them saying that those who are vulnerable and have previously been shielding are now allowed to go out when that has always been under Covid alert level 1 while we are still under level 4/3.

If you wish to be pedantic, then yes.
It was, IIRC, Michael Gove though...
Anyway, I don’t want to get pulled into this conversation at the moment. It’s become quite boring and monotonous. See you all on other threads ?

I'm not obsessed with it at all, but it seems someone else is. I take it from the explanation given; the comment from HK was relating to Government not trusting Experts in the Brexit campaign but are now with Covid. So explain your comment because I'm getting really confused with what's being branded about here.

May be an over simplification but surely there is no compulsion to go out, socialise etc. If you feel you need to stay locked down then I respect that and you can stay at home.
It has been said that people think it is all over. See, I don't think people necessarily believe the problem is over but rather have a degree of realism together with a limit of what they can take.
On the reality side of things, we are at the end of what the government can afford to pay for so people have to work and shops have to open. Lockdown is one thing, lockdown with no money is a whole different ball game. So people are working and in more daily contact so people want to relax after work and see less issue with others around them.
As for parks and beaches, I refuse to judge. I have an ok house with a garden in the countryside so everything is on my doorstep. If I was in an urban environment you can pretty much guarantee that I would head for a park or a beach to maintain my sanity.
I will not judge people on their actions until I know the full story. What I do see is the irony that on one part of the forum people have been seeing no problem with 4 ball golf and were quite virulent in their arguing for it yet the world will end now I can sit in my garden 2m from 3 mates having a beer
