CORONAVIRUS PANIC WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE

[Poopadoop]

Ido. I live in a T4 that's as blue as they come. But I see the wealthy middle classes walking together in the local parks in big groups, drinking prosecco from plastic glasses, etc. One problem with having confusing guidance with constant u-turns is that people just say "fuck it, I'll just do what I think is sensible". That and a lot of people are thick, or take the view the government can't tell them what to do, so they'll do the exact opposite.

What staggers me is that there seems to be no thought to the consequences of decisions, no advice taken from experts and no consultation with groups like teachers.

Mrs Bean is a secondary school teacher and we watched the most recent Williamson announcement together. Nobody knew afterwards what it actually meant for them, so it was clear no teachers had proofread the speech.

Likewise the T4, Christmas is cancelled announcement. Nobody in government seemed to think that would mean a mad dash on to the shops and public transport (which was packed out, made worse by running a reduced service(.

Yup to bolded part. There's always going to be some selfish twats that don't follow the rules, but it certainly doesn't help when the rules are really murky to begin with and/or keep changing every week or two.

What's infuriarating is how they constantly stand their ground on their half-assed measures until it becomes unavoidable that they can't keep up the pretense any more and then <snap> they change the policies overnight to something only slightly less stupid, that they can't articulate clearly and that starts in three hours or some shit. Then they try to act like that was the plan all along.

To be clear, I don't envy anyone trying to govern during this pandemic, but fuck me it's hard to imagine anyone handling it worse than the current bunch of twats.

The fact that they're happy to give fat contracts to their incompetent mates at the cost of people's lives is the part that's really unforgivable though imo. Scum.
