New rules limiting gatherings to 6

[mariesnowgoose]

It is to stop insurrection by groups that want to protest about the bullshit going on, protest and get fined.
they learnt the techniques from the CCP and now Australia.
welcome to the new world order.

Yup, the longer it goes on, the easier it could become to believe in a conspiracy theory.

Not that I do, but I certainly believe in political powers/big business/powerful individuals using the current situation as a golden opportunity and acting fast/cunningly/illegally to move things along in a direction that will benefit them greatly...

So folks dieing is not happning,get real

I can see this new rule being widely ignored. I think the second wave is on it's way, the only question is how bad it will be. Hopefully the lessons of putting CV-19 infected people into nursing homes has been learnt, so it is quite possible the death tolls will not rise as high as before.

People are dying Trev, but I see things happening in my Council's departments that are definitely running off the back of this pandemic. Huge changes in a very short time. A lot for the better, but some more sinister.

 

[trevskoda]

Yes hallmut and our gov not ready or getting a grip on things,having no ppe was the first daft thing,then buying from china,what a disgrace for us.

It's all very well suspecting a conspiracy theory, but the government doesn't give the impression that it's organised enough to run a conspiracy.

With due respect intended I wonder If the Pension bills in most countries were getting too large,and costly. Definately China has a large older population(or did have) maybe im wrong but something is amiss for sure

Could be a double bluff,

If indeed governments have much to do with it.

No really into conspiracy theory’s and my daughter had this thing and was very ill for ten days she was tested and now over it so I’m inclined to say there is a virus and effects different age groups differently. Anyway here’s my point I’m on the road most days all over Glasgow for work purposes and have seen a dramatic change this week in the amount of ambulances on the road they are everywhere all blearing there sirens and blue lights now here’s the bit I’m noticing a lot and finding strange these ambulances have lights and sirens blaring when there’s no need with no traffic lights no obstructions wide open roads. I noticed this during the lockdown as well and that’s why I look now. When they we’re running during lockdown not another car on the rd for miles just tumble weed but they still had sirens and lights blaring I just find this very strange are they trying to keep us on our toes and alert by doing this. Tomorrow look if you see an ambulance dose it really need the blue lights and sirens.

The virus definitely exists, but you're spot on about the ambulances, Wully. It's weird and I noticed exactly the same thing here all the way through lockdown, some flying around in the wee small hours, sirens blaring on empty roads at 1, 2, 3 in the morning etc.

I also remember thinking that was odd at the time. Why would you sound sirens for covid patients and not for other critical illnesses?
And we have always been 'unhealthy heaven' round here with ambulances trundling around at all hours right throughout the year, but they hardly ever sounded their sirens after midnight or through into the early hours. You might see blue lights flashing in the dark on the main road beforehand, but no sirens going.

Strange coincidences.... Hmm... maybe the crew/drivers were just making the most of the empty roads and 'unprecedented circumstances' and just enjoying letting rip? Can't think of another rational reason why they should start behaving differently from before?

Wow! There's shivers up my spine, one has just gone past on the top road with sirens and lights blaring and I bet any money you like if I walked up the street right this minute the roads would be completely deserted round here at this time of night...

 

[mariesnowgoose]

However, although only three days in, each day I have felt I have been walking into a snake pit, and wondering when I will get bitten??

Three days in, have worked out our current youth really do not care.

Yup. Been like that re the virus a good while now, Terry.

Puppets aren't exactly a new thing when it comes to 'ruling'...

 

[Wully]

The new thing is to be announced tomorrow that pubs are to close earlier 10pm as if that’s gonna make a difference they’ll just buy carry outs and head to each other’s houses after a few in the pub I think that will cause more of a problem with more house parties.

 

[mariesnowgoose]

I think we just have to accept the fact that it's going to meander chaotically on into the future like this for some time to come.

I've said it loads of times, all we can do is be sensible and protect ourselves and those nearest to us as much as we possibly can.
No putting anything back in Pandora's box now...

They are still not sure of the long term effects of the covid and some that have had it are still struggling to get fit again according to reports - just have to learn to live with it and be cautious in closed enviroments

Same here during the lockdown. I was out for a walk along an empty dual carriageway, came past me, turned around and came back. 3 times during the mile I walked along it. Sirens going constant into the distance around the estate ( big roads with no traffic) before appearing again.

I heard similar several times during the lockdown.

The only thing I could come up with was they were training a driver, but still didn't explain the constant sirens.

Also, the police helicopter base is 2 miles up the road and he was up every evening at the same time (around 1730) but there was never anything going on, on the roads.

Very odd.

Helicopter up and about looking for anyone who might have a bit of inspiration.

Well I don’t believe in conspiracy theories do you not just think the ambulances have to have the sirens going because there could always be that one car/van and if they hit them could they be liable if not sounding their sirens or could it be that our senses were heightened with a lot less traffic on the roads before lockdown we just didn’t notice just my humble opinion.

 

[mark61]

I don't believe conspiracy theories either, but then I don't believe half the news either, and if it comes out a politicians mouth, I'm very dubious.

Conspiracy theories are no more a guarantee of nonsense than anything else.

 

[ricc]

i dont really understand why australia has reacted the way they have....melbourne has been on total lockdown for example but the whole of ausralia has something like a total of 70 deaths blamed on covid.......and less flu deaths than normal
