Pubs open? What does that mean?

so now pubs are back open does that mean clubs will be soon?

Also, what are people's views in meeting now. If it's safe to meet in a social setting like a pub of all places, shouldn't we be allowed out to play? Just throwing that question out there... I fir one will not be going to the pub any time soon

Ladies, can you imagine the joy of dancing in a club and *not* having someone dance their cock up against you from behind? And for once it being as problematic for them as for you - the joys of social distancing!

Social distance rules apply in all pub's, restraunts, hotels etc having close contact won't be happening for a while I know clubs are some people's businesses but they will be last to open unfortunately.

You are still supposed to be social distancing even when at the pub. So having sex still should be off the menu.

We have different locals... inabbitions are the first to go when drinking. Plus you're passing around glasses that people have been drinking from.

I don't understand how pubs are open and not everything else. Hotbed for spreading it

I've ordered a 2 metre extendable jockstrap from Wish to solve that very problem. Get ready, I'm coming in hot.

Would it be more risky to have sex with one person or be breathing the same air as loads? I think it should all be off the menu or nothing

There are lower health risks and greater economic benefits to pubs/ restaurants opening than allowing casual sex.

I'm not saying I think pubs should be open.

Totally agree but government won't allow clubs to open until the very last things. Social distance has slowly disappeared not that some ever did.

The problem comes when that that one person starts shagging more than one person.

Social distancing can be maintained with the rules as they seem to stand. There's some risk but less than being up in people's face. I've gleaned that studies have been done on how things are transmitted. Indoor is higher risk, but table service with limits to who can be on the table limits that somewhat. Obviously fucking is more intense exposure.

Risk is relative, and economic risk exists as well. A balance has to be found.

Only in the form a social club rather than a shagging club though. But loads organising afterparties so defeating the point.

I don't think the government knows what they're doing, and I'm certainly not unlocking myself anytime soon. But the idea that controlled table service is of equal risk and economic advantage to clubs/ casual sex is... laughable

No one actually does have a scooby doo as this has never happened before you could have any government and mistakes will be made, it always has to be someone's fault apparently. Human nature to make mistakes just deal with it not pass the blame things might get done quicker.

The economy was put first when it first started and that's why we have such high numbers. Fuck business and the economy imo, these things will rebuild over time.

It's airborne so being inside with air con, passing glasses around that you are drinking out of and touching all the furniture is putting yourself massively at risk.

Fucking is more exposure but generally you do it with one person not a pub full.

BTW mainly playing devil's advocate here. I think it's obvious if we wanted a competent government we should consider a move to nz

We should have some idea because epidemics and pandemics have happened in the past. Not this virus, but it's not like no virus has ever existed before. Hell this is (if memory serves) genetically 80%+ the same as SARS 1

Why everyone on lockdown instead of those with symptoms? It's such a strange way of handling it!

Also, if you speak to anyone who has done tracking they have literally had no calls.... something real suspicious going on

Because asymptomatic/ presymptomatic transmission is a huge problem. Those who don't know they have it can spread it around. Including to those shielding who require groceries brought in or carers/ medical staff visiting.

Did we lockdown everyone for any of these. They say this but it is a form of flu. Sars is transmitted exactly the same way the only difference is people with covid sometimes don't show symptoms

It's a corona virus not a form of flu. Flu is a different type of virus. SARS, MERS, and four types of common cold are the other types of corona viruses.

I think they did for SARS. But honestly the risk factors are different given the profiles of the various diseases.

I think you're right, corona is what some get from covid. Might be wrong but my understanding was the virus that attacks your lungs is very much like sars. Covid itself is a form of flu and it's not the first, hence it being 19. Why it's so confusing to me to lockdown everyone?... why not test everyone them lockdown those with it? Surely a smaller hit on the economy to test rather than close everything?

When you look at the stats the numbers of people dying now compared to how many normally die normally, there's not too much difference.

I guess I just don't trust anyone with a red or blue tie. Every horrendous act is always justified by money or power

Corona virus is a class of virus. The corona virus here is SARS-COVID-2 which causes the disease COVID-19. The naming is a bit complicated, but the 19 is because it was discovered in 2019.

The flu is not a corona virus. It's a Orthomyxoviridae. Saying Corona/Covid-19 is a type of flu is like saying that cats/ tabbies are types of dog (where "viruses" are animals).

From the beginning of the year we've had a huge number of excess deaths, over 1 in every thousand Brits. And that's *with* trying to control the spread. If you think lockdown wasn't necessary I don't know what to tell you.

Probably. Or compulsory masking/ distancing. Hopefully mass uptake of a vaccine, because by analogy with other coronaviruses, immunity is not likely to be lifelong.

No sorry what I meant was sars is a type of coronavirus. There has been 7 strains of it in the past, 3 more recently and we have never entered locked down for these. Even when numbers of deaths has been similar, all be it most outside Europe.

I'm trying not to get too into the technicalities of it as I am in no way an expert. Plus all thus is spoon fed to us so I'm guessing you have no more of a idea than me... unless it is your profession.

However I do find it strange that we have locked down the entire country. No one is calling the tracking service, literally no one, and hospitals are empty.

I know it's common practice to just nod and go along with whatever the government says but do you not think any of this is suspicious? I'm not one for conspiracies but we all know the people at the top never care to look down.

It isn't my profession, but I've been listening to virology podcasts since March and am a fast learner. I'm only repeating what I'm sure I've understood, and in the spirit of "I learned a thing" not "medical advice". I'm trusting the experts, because my untrained opinion is worth jack shit.

The rate of transmission is more or less known. Lockdown/ restrictions (we've never had lockdown) is based on reducing that. We've still seen a horrifying death toll, one of the worst in the world (most likely because our restrictions were late, lax, and largely unenforceable).

on the plus side i have decided its about time i did join my local social club.... literally live 90 seconds from it for the last 10 years and never had a drink in it.... so i might do that midweek....

Slightly puzzled some where I saw 2 groups of 6 from 2 families can meet in a pub but no more does that mean everyone else is expected to vacate the place or does it mean these 2 groups don't have to social distance. I don't think social distancing even at 1 metre can work very well in a pub unless someone is on the door and stop customers coming in when it is full.

We have a couple of local pubs in our village but the one I tend to like has decided to not open up due to space Inside and social distance Involved which I can understand and sympathise with how long the landlord can do this for is unknown but as someone mentioned earlier this virus will probably be around for a few years yet until a vachines found its a horrible position to be in for him Its the oldest local we have in the village and is historically significant along with the site it stands on we almost lost this pub due to the brewerys but local people pulled together and stopped this from happening I,m hopeing this pandemic will not be the end for this pub and the landlords lively hood there must be other pubs in a similar situation elsewhere.
