This says a third of all cases are spread through pubs and restaurants so you can see why they think it’s an option.

I sympathise with people who live on their own at the moment and their are definitely fewer options to socialise at the moment. And the impact this has on mental health is worrying.

But if there’s evidence that the virus does spread in pubs I understand why they’re making this decision.

Firstly, that article was from the first week of October. Secondly, the data sample was very small. Thirdly, I think the truth is the 'experts' and the politicians don't know for sure how or where the virus is transmitting, hence the slapdash and ever-changing approach to the restrictions and the failure to bring the virus properly under control.

Where’s the other 70% then?

Would help if the test, track and trace system worked.

When face masks were introduced across the rest of the UK, I'm sure it was the Health minister here saying they weren't required and WAG had taken the approach because the science was being followed?
That lasted about a month, before they introduced the compulsory wearing of face masks in public places ??????
Ive got to the stage now if one of them told me night followed day, I'd check outside

Sorry missed this. I think they're pretty sure how it does spread now and it's mostly in poorly ventillated areas.

I agree the slapdash and ever changing approach isn't great but unless there is a track and trace system that works it has to be balanced somehow. It's a shame pubs have to close but there are other options.
