Commentary: Corona Virus Regulations

Here are my thoughts of the Corona Virus and recent government actions in the UK. There has been some restrictions added this week which don't make sense – even if you believe in little virus that can go around and kill people. So, taking a look at the restrictions from this perspective, let's see if they make sense.

Social Distancing

We are told to stay two metres away from each other. The other day I was standing in a queue (line) waiting to get inside a bakery. All across the nation there are long queues. Well, how will this help if you are down-wind from someone? No matter where you stand, the wind can shift where you are down wind.

Driving Your Dog to a Park

Some people were stopped because they were taking their dog to a park for a walk. Under current regulations, you are allowed to take a walk yourself or take your dog for a walk. You are allowed to walk your dog but you can't go to a park with your dog and do your walking there – just people are allowed to go to park. The only exception is if you live near a park and walk your dog there.

A policeman said that there is no reason to drive your dog to a park. Now, what sense does that make even under their regulations? Are you not isolate when driving? When you go to a park, are you still not isolated (provided you keep your distance)? Of course you are. In fact, they are better off then walking their dog in the city where they live, as it's much harder to keep your distance there.

Electronic Shops Closed

In the UK non-essential shops are to remain closed. Specifically, pointed out were clothes shops and electronic shops. Now, with people who were told to work at home if possible, they need computers, printers, attachments, etc.

People who work from home, means, for the most part, that they will need their computers. What happens when they need it repaired? What if they have to print out something and they need toner? They might not have an iPhone and need one now that they are working from home. Some people might no have a laptop but need one now, where do they get it?

From Amazon, of course! Well, what about your small independent businessman? This whole plan could be to give more business to Amazon and close down their competition. IF government was interested in helping small businesses they would allow computer shops and iPhone stores to remain open.

From the NHS in the UK

The NHS (UK's national health service) said that there are only four reasons to leave home. They are:

1 Basic shopping such as for food and medicine and this should be infrequent as possible.

Fine.

2 One form of exercise a day.

Now, this is stupid. You mean you can't combine walking then taking a bicycle ride? According to them, no.

3 Any medical need or to provide care or help to the vulnerable.

OK, fine.

4 Travelling to and from work, but only where this is absolutely can cannot be done from home.

OK, fine.

Then, underneath this is this notice:

These 4 reasons are exceptions – even when doing these activities, you should be minimising time spent outside of the home and ensuring you are 2 metres apart from anyone outside of your household.

What logic is there that you should be minimising the time outside your home? What if someone just walks a couple of blocks and returns home? And you compare this to someone who jogs for an hour. This takes much longer than a walk around the block, but this OK. So, the time outside varies. YET, they say to minimise your time outside. And, why should you minimise your time outside if you remain 2 metres apart? Also, fresh air is good for your health, along with the sunshine that you get and the good psychological feeling being out doors. It looks like their lock down is to harm you, not help you. And what about spending as long as you want in your own yard? This is not minimising your time out doors but what harm can there be?

Finally, the whole purpose of this lock down is to contain the virus, right? Well, the NHS asked for volunteers to help out with such things as: going to the chemist for those who can't get out, doing shopping for others, among other things. They were looking for about 250,000 people. 700,00+ signed up! So, when these people have contact with others, including in their homes and at hospital they could “catch the virus,” but that doesn't seem to bother the NHS, the UK government nor the people volunteering. So, what's the problem?

If this Corona Virus is so dangerous, so contagious, then there would not be on person well enough to work in hospitals around the country (around the world, too). These people go to work day in and day out; they work many hours a day. Then, they go home to their family and they don't seem to get it. So, why the lock down when those most exposed (hospital workers) go home to their family. Keep in mind that there are many people still working. If this was really a contagious disease, the whole world would have it now; 10's of millions would already be dead but this is not the case.

When these hospital works take off their protective gear, they have to touch the outside of it. When they walk around to the rooms, they are much closer than 2 metres apart; they breath the same air; the droplet of water that contain the virus are on their clothes, skin and hair, yet they are fine. Many of them work 12 hour days seven days a week. With all that in mind, the government wants to restrict us from going to work, from being outside (for the wrong reasons [as if viruses can determine if you are going out for the wrong reason and do you harm]) for being closer than two metres apart.

Keep in mind many hospital workers have nothing more than a cheap mask, a plastic drape on and latex cloves – and this will give you protection from a virus that we are told are as small as 30 nanometres!

Do you see the con in all this? Do you see the hoax? Perhaps you are thinking they have an agenda – and you are right, they do!

You are being conned! Wake up!
