Re: Coronavirus update

There is something in what you say about numbers but those being bad do not automatically mean he is good.
The poll is based on his performance as lEaDer not on someone elses failure. i don't thin kthe 2 things are mutual.

New exercise rules for those living in Wales: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-52416541

Not sure how this will be policed, but can see why it is necessary. Today, my next door neighbour has had 2 lots of visitors into his house. His father lives next door, and has also had visitors to the house. The divorcee up the road had her friends around for a drink in the garden on Thursday night. So, the rest of us have to follow even tighter rules - not because the science requires tighter rules, but because people need to be told what to do. However, this is going to fall on deaf ears. The road behind our house is quite busy today

Re: Coronavirus update

i live in llandaff but like to go to roath park to feed the swans, its only about 2 miles and i do my shopping on the way home.

About traffic, I live on a major junction and Yes traffic has slowly crept up over the last 2 weeks, but we should be realistic.
When someone is driving his car he is definitely social distancing.
The main highways and M'Ways are almost empty so the traffic in the town/city is only going short distance generally, and the biggest thing is night-time. The road outside is totally empty and devoid of traffic as no pubs club restaurants ot takeways are open. So again people are social distancing. the only thing I see at night are delivery lorries.

So although some arseholes are ignoring the rules and the risks, (and some always will) I think generally it is still working and I think the 'only cycling walking distance' and not driving to the park is a bit of OTT big brother from the Welsh Government. The people who ignore the rules are the same people who were ignoring them already so it will only impact on the people doing right!

Re: Coronavirus update

A thingh on wlaes update now about S Wales police tweeting queues outside a B&Q supermarket and qquestioning if the shopping is essential. It may not be food but it may be essensial for well-being and distraction from being locked it!!!!!

I'm worried that these new levels of restrictions will give the police the excuse to be more draconian and heavy handed with basically good citizens ( we will make something up - who are they going to believe?) and that will make people very anti and less inclined to keep to the rules

Re: Coronavirus update

In Ireland the rules around exercising are as follows:

- to exercise within 2 kilometres of your house. You cannot exercise with people from outside your household
(https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/cf...ther-spread-o/)

Again, other nations are providing a lot clearer advice than we're getting but at least Senedd is edging towards that sort of clarity.

Re: Coronavirus update

no longer required but was nice to see UK engineering firms stepping up to the plate when asked . The moral of the story UK has some briliant design and manufacturing firms . Hope to see the UK expand there manufacturing operations in the coming years . Not sure how but would love to knock china back a peg or two . they just copy most things anyway

No longer required because it was extremely ill though out and badly managed.

Next phase will be delayed due to London dickheads congregating on Westminster Bridge to applaud NHS whilst filing to take any precautions or social distance, with police joining in.

Others will then turn round and copy that dumb behaviours...

Well done Sadiq and Cressida!

We will be doing our own thing here if them over the bridge dont play by the rules.....looks like new cases level around 250 is where we were coming up around the 31st March, it took two weeks to get there from mid march when there were no cases so hopefully another 2 weeks will see it fall away to mid March levels as predicted back then.

Re: Coronavirus update

Telegraph front page announcing 2 week quarantine for those travelling into the UK. This is something other countries put in place what feels like months ago - why does it take the UK so much longer to take action?

Re: Coronavirus update

Fascinating disconnect between people's perceptions of the UK from inside and outside. Inside, the coverage is mostly serious but calm. And yet anyone I know following coverage of the UK from outside is frightened and outraged by what has happened. Commentators I've appeared on shows with - from hard left to hard right - based outside the UK are aghast at what has happened here. My uncle in Guatemala - a country which is about as ****ed as you can get & currently under curfew - called up my mum in a panic after seeing a TV report about the UK.

It's quite incredible, although I would substitute 'tame' for 'calm'. All the more disgusting that the government is trying to disparage coverage that is already calm/tame/mild in comparison to that of objective outside observers.

This government has lacked transparency and honesty since it started the Brexit campaign - not a criticism of the idea of/need for Brexit, just the campaign that succeeded in the referendum and government it later formed - and UK is seeing its soft power status around the wold weaken because of it, not to mention the thousands of lives already lost within the UK.

Re: Coronavirus update

Birmingham Nightingale. As with London, not enough staff to make it work. NHS staff are being concentrated in hospitals, shunting away cancer patients, for example, to keep the HDUs going. A year on there will be a lot of passing the buck when it comes to the real numbers who die of CV, in hospitals, care homes, hospices, at home and those who have not suffered from CV but didnt get the treatment needed due to political expediency.
