Lock Down Rules Critique

Lock Down Rules Critique

Have you notice all the contradictions since this so-called 'coronavirus' started? Now there is more rules that simply don't make sense with the easing out of the lock down. Your country probably has the same contradictions as we have in the UK. Boris Johnson last night announced some easement of the lock down rules (Oh, thank you master for giving us a little bit of freedom!).

The news article is in italics.

As long as a two-metre distance is maintained, and people "stay alert," they will be allowed to sunbathe or chat with one other person from a different household, a Government official has confirmed.

Oh, that means if you happen to meet someone that you know when you are shopping you can't chat with them? Does that mean you might catch the virus? Well, people have been chatting with others all during this time.

The easing of restrictions, which will come into force on Wednesday, initially sparked some confusion as Boris Johnson indicated in his national address on Sunday evening that sunbathing could still only be done with members of the same household.

It seems like, according to Johnson, that if you sunbath with someone that is not of your household (even if you keep the magical 2 metres apart) that you might catch the virus?

He said: “You can sit in the sun in your local park, you can drive to other destinations, you can even play sports, but only with members of your own household.”

Up till now, national parks have been closed but Boris Johnson did not say if the parks were given permission to open. It seems like the more open space you have, the more dangerous it is for catching the coronavirus virus!

But a Government official later confirmed that as long as they stay two metres apart, people will be allowed to relax and chat with another person from another household.

This contradicts what was previously said – that you can not sunbath with someone. I see, those little 'viruses' know the difference between sunbathing and chatting; that only if someone sunbaths that is not of your household will you get the 'virus.' This is so ludicrous that you can't even make this up. What is more stupid than these 'rules' are the people who believe them!

Mr Johnson had previously warned people that if friends outside of a household asked to meet up, they should refuse.

Again, I guess these nasty little 'viruses' are waiting for the rules to be in place by our dictator, as now it's OK to meet up with those outside of our household.

Other frontbenchers focused on Johnson’s plea for people to return to their workplaces if they cannot work from home, while urging people to avoid using public transport where possible.

This is a good one. This shows how our PM Boris Johnson (and others) are out of touch with reality. How can you go back to work if you are an employee? That would be up to your employer! How can your employer open if they don't have permission from the government? Now, wouldn't everyone want to get back to work?

Most people can't walk to work. For those who can, they don't need the government to tell them so, they would do it automatically. The same goes for riding a bike. As for taking a car, they don't need Johnson to tell them, they would do it. But many can't because: they don't own a car, there  is no where to park, or that it's too costly to park in the city. So, they have to take a bus, metro or train – which Johnson says to avoid if possible. Well, for millions of people it's not possible.

Johnson went on to say that by June some restaurants and pubs will be opened provided they meet health requirements and social distancing is kept. This will hurt many businesses. There will be those who would still be shut, and those that will open, will not be able to make a profit as they would only be able to operate at, say, one-third capacity. Or, they are fined because they were caught not having people 2 metres apart.

There are many businesses right now that can't afford to open, so telling people to go back to work is not possible. With other businesses that are still waiting from their 'master' to open up will put them out of business by that time. Finally, with restaurants, pubs and cafes not being able to operate at full capacity, they will soon go out of business. So, people will have no choice but to sit at home – again.

Where is the logic in all of this? There is none, and it is designed this way to deliberately destroy the economy so the mega wealthy can buy up, on the cheap some of the remaining business, while permanently closing other businesses so will be easier to have a monopoly on the business.
