Are you saying dogging is still allowed.

Are you asking for a "friend"?

I think the safe Covid sex advice is to wear masks and face away from each others faces.

Your post is incorrect they can meet outdoors and in cars, if they socially distance.

Seems like couples who don't live together can't meet now.

Still, presume it's all right for men who have 2m long thingies.

So come on, you know you want to: Ask a minister a question about coronavirus - GOV.UK

They won't answer anyone's questions from here as they never answer questions anyway they just waffle round them.

Yes but they absolutely did not shut down their economy in any way, they still suffered a gdp reduction due to lower exports because of other countries but otherwise domestically had a minimal decline.

All while having similar health impact to other european countries with similar demographics.

I'm fairly sure I read somewhere that they suffered the same as Denmark (which did lockdown) in terms of people stopping spending.

Untrue. The virus is so obviously airborne and capable of lingering around. An indoors venue with strangers, with or without aircon, is the perfect way to spread it around.

The key here is that the original strategy of 'herd immunity' is still being attempted, despite evidence being inconclusive on this being possible. If the virus mutates - as is believed (current Lancet magazine, BMJ too) - then it is plausible someone who caught it in February can now catch it again and not just brush it off as a minor second infection.

Exposure time seems to matter. If you brush past someone and somehow are exposed to it via air, or perhaps on a surface, that's considered a small dosing. If you're talking to an infected person for 3 hours over pints then your viral exposure is higher and the illness likely to be worse.

Given how ubiquitous alcohol is here in shops I don't see the need to support pubs now and would rather help the economy in other ways.

Won't change much.

People will still meet up outdoors.

There need to be more deaths for people to start behaving appropriately. Give it a couple of months.

Probably what's more important now is number of hospitalisations, rather than deaths, which are still, relatively, low.

Again, how is this going to be enforced?

It cannot be enforced. It relies (it has to rely) on the common sense of the citizens and the trust they have in their governments.

Which is why countries like Sweden are doing OK and country of a-holes like uk and us are doing poorly.

Your last statement is false.

They had the highest number of deaths per 100,000 of population of any Nordic country. Like the UK they didn't test all suspected Covid cases and didn't hospitalise those with "mild' infections as their health service was over run.

And they also had the biggest Q2 GDP fall of any Nordic country. Coronavirus: Sweden GDP falls 8.6% in Q2, more than Nordic neighbors - Business Insider


If you want to hold up islands who did well , as the UK consists of islands, look at New Zealand and Japan.

Have you evidence to back up your repeated claims?
Last time you claimed Sweden had done it right, you were presented with evidence that proved you were wrong, so why are you repeating your falsehoods?
