New national lockdown from this Wed?

No golf as I understand it. Hopefully people will comply and we can break the rise in cases and get back to a degree of normality in December so businesses and shops can have a few weeks to see some strong trading and make as much as they can before Christmas. That in itself is looking to be a different beast. In laws have already said they aren't coming over so just the two of us. No problem as long as we can have something nice to eat and just enjoy our own company but for those with large families, especially kids, it is going to be tough
 
Not sure shops need to be opened tbh. Most have online facilities. Let them operate that way too. No need to allow the masses into shops at winter.

Lots of manufactured justification to make it national wide , in four weeks no much will change because schools etc staying open - all it’s basically doing it shutting pubs , non essential work and amateur sport. Mental health going to be a killer over the next four weeks with the darks night etc

It’s going to be no different in 4 weeks - so what’s changed from the thinking from the “localised” method to the national method ?

The exit strategy seems to be back into the tier system. You might see a tier 4 being slipped in as an option which would allow an exit into no change for some areas.

Isn't that, and with an extra tier only going to go back to the squabbling about how it is unfair one area is on the highest level and five miles down the road isn't

Yes, but I can only imagine we are all going into full lockdown so that everyone is treated equally. Then when the tiers happen in a month, they can say that we all had the same chance....

All the charts seemed to show the South having a much better outlook....
 
Let’s do nothing and laugh if the experts get it wrong, especially when there is an increase in all areas across the Country, including when they are saying hospitalisations will exceed the peak we saw in spring...........Or let’s try and do something and avoid the worse case scenario.

Crazy to think they should ignore the warnings or they are making it up.
 
good to know the briefing was important :) nearly 2 hours late, a child level powerpoint presentation, very little clear instruction then had to take it off BBC1 as cant delay strictly

Lockdown? No, not for me.
Was good last time, not this time. Go stuff yourself. Preposterous, grossly exaggerated, backwards, life ruining restrictions.

Wake me up when people start dying on the streets

Measures to last until start of December
Johnson outlines the measures that he says will last until the start of December.
And he lists some of the exceptions for which people can leave their homes, including:
  • for education
  • for work, if you cannot work from home
  • for exercise and recreation outdoors
  • for medical reasons
  • to shop for food and essentials
  • to care for others
If correct, why no golf?

I interpreted what he said as back to 2 balls.

Guess we will have to wait in England for England Golf to advise Club Managers of the precise interpretation.

Hopefully England golf are more decisive and on the ball than their counterparts north of the wall.
