I don't really think I need to say more

It was the month before Xmas

It was predictable

Hard lock down now is just too late

Its more a lip service rabbit headlights hope than actually anything practical or effective

But hey how as the daily increases caused 3 vweeks ago occur let's be short sighted and pretend we can halt them

Consistently as in many successful campaigns is what was required but just as boom and bust let's play the roller coaster

Hands face space

The virus has NOT changed

Its rules have not changed

Simple

Don't touch anything you can't imidiatly clean hands from

Don't go within 3 m of anyone

Treat everyone oneself and every surface as contaminated and know and understand how to function with that assumption

And no family must mix with its elders

Follow those rules it will be controlled don't it won't

There's provision for this in the rules and if you're keeping other interactions to a minimum, it's the best you can do. Dad is in our bubble but I'm discouraging him from trying to visit (because it involves trains) and am checking in with online deliveries etc. He cancelled the last Tesco order I selected because "he wanted to go out" so he went on the bloody bus

The tone of the op is that unless all the rules stated are followed by everyone the virus won't be controlled. I'm probably hyper sensitive about to be fair to all concerned . I know the rules allow for me to see them but it puts enormous pressure on.

Your dad going on the bus made me smile, my dad would be the same .

No sorry the rules you refer are the human hope and guess and pretend rules

What's the alternative? Leave her 90yo parents to die/starve etc?! Sending care workers in is worse because they have to visit multiple individuals and potentially work for multiple employers and so are exposed to a huge range of people. Nicecouple do the right thing.

As someone who strictly follows the rules and bubble rules also, it does not always work perfectly.

Take the other night for instance. My gran got home from hospital on friday after a shoulder op. That night, she fell out of bed and my mum went down to sort her out, as she is her carer. Due to the recent operation, lifting her was a 2 man job and even then was not easy at all. Certainly couldnt have been done and still maintain a 2m distance and follow bubble rules.

Not everything is black and white OP

Sensual, this makes no sense. My 81yo father who lives alone and no longer drives, who lives over 1hr drive from us - I am DISCOURAGING him from visiting us (his bubble). That means he's staying at home alone. His dementia is worsening though. HE has unilaterally decided to go out to Tesco, when he could have had online deliveries. I can't control that and am trying to do the right thing. Unfortunately I cannot prevent my father from doing his own thing.

If you mean that the Government should issue advice about how to interact with elders in the safest manner (assuming you have to provide care), then I agree. But considering some people on here seem utterly ignorant of incredibly basic science, I'm not sure trying to teach aseptic donning techniques via pamphlet or TV adverts will work.

I've been saying for months that there needs to be a series of public information videos of Prof Whitty and friends demonstrating the proper methods for putting on and taking off a mask, how to dispose/transport it etc. People genuinely seem totally ignorant about how to do this safely.

Personally I would prefer one of the buzz words to be aware not alert

In my work place

I'm alert to what is happening im aware of what can happen how it can happen and why

Not sure we need Whitty to demonstrate but definitely think public education videos on this are needed...esp for school kids where they are required to wear them all day in school or between classes. Not right for them to be stuffing them in their pockets in between and handling them all wrong in the process. Surely wearing an unclean mask is worse than not wearing one!

I mentioned Whitty (and friends) because the good Prof seems to have been taken into the public's heart. I really think him appearing in such videos would have a far greater impact than either an actor or unknown NHS worker. The cult of celebrity strikes again...

"Sensual, how do you propose we care for people who cannot care for themselves? Old people, disabled people, people fresh out of hospital etc? Employing external carers is just as risky and arguably more so. Do we leave our elders/disabled/sick to starve and die in their beds?

You misundetand me

I don't say you should not

I'm saying it needs to be accepted if we do not nothing else done will prevent the deaths

I may also suggest after 9 months

Those who might know could indeed give a slightly more comprehensive and safe protocol for people to interact with their vulnerable

So far we have

Well you can bubble with them

And ........... oh yeah thats it

If you mean that the Government should issue advice about how to interact with elders in the safest manner (assuming you have to provide care), then I agree. But considering some people on here seem utterly ignorant of incredibly basic science, I'm not sure trying to teach aseptic donning techniques via pamphlet or TV adverts will work.

I've been saying for months that there needs to be a series of public information videos of Prof Whitty and friends demonstrating the proper methods for putting on and taking off a mask, how to dispose/transport it etc. People genuinely seem totally ignorant about how to do this safely.

Not sure we need Whitty to demonstrate but definitely think public education videos on this are needed...esp for school kids where they are required to wear them all day in school or between classes. Not right for them to be stuffing them in their pockets in between and handling them all wrong in the process. Surely wearing an unclean mask is worse than not wearing one!

I mentioned Whitty (and friends) because the good Prof seems to have been taken into the public's heart. I really think him appearing in such videos would have a far greater impact than either an actor or unknown NHS worker. The cult of celebrity strikes again..."

I don't think I've ever seen him wearing a mask.

I did see our illustrious leader asking Ursula Van Leyen if he could take his mask off and being told "no" like a naughty school boy.
