Yeah a nation of busybody grassing ****s. My personal favourite is people in large houses with gardens or living in rural areas labelling people as scum for using their car to get places to walk (not saying on here neccesarily, but I've got a colleague who is particularly vocal about this) like it's the crime of the century.
Yeah, I don’t really get the car thing tbh. If I’m driving to the woods or park, I’m presumably putting less people at risk than if I walked there.
They’re being simplistic and it’s a headcount thing If everyone walks somewhere headcount in any given area stays the same If the sun comes out and people drive to the beach or park the headcount rises there and social-distancing is impossible Doesn’t account for someone driving to a random rural area where there’s no one but they can’t police nuanced messages
So if I drive to the allotment, where everyone keeps about 20 yards from each other, who is counting heads, and what is the risk?
They can actually, the message itself needs to be clear but common sense should always be used in applying it.
That's exactly my point, its a blunt instrument They think you might be driving to Hyde Park to mingle in an irresponsible manner They should be applauding you for Digging for Victory please log in to view this image I'm not supporting their approach, just saying what I believe it to be
They have no faith in the British Public applying common sense because they're all posh Tory boys who think us plebs are fick Their inbred and public school ingrained arrogance means they don't realise how fick they are themselves Whoops! That'll be the Politics thread
The man who all but pushed past me in a completely uncaring manner got a mouthful in Dutch and English. Others nearby being patient also had a word and security gave him a yellow card style warning.
You're definitely right that you can tweak the graphs to say what you want to some extent, and there's one thing to be aware of: Statista appears to report numbers a bit differently than some other sources. Far as I can tell, they are listing deaths on the day they were believed to have occurred, rather on the day the deaths were reported. It's not inherently a better/worse way to do it, but because of the lag time in reporting, this means that the graph will always look like it's bending, because data for the last few days is incomplete until all of the backdated deaths have been added.. Looking at just the number of reported deaths per day, it's more like this: (the pattern with a couple flat days and then a spike is the flip side of the coin: if you have a country where reporting lags over Saturday/Sunday, using day-reported for your graph means that it'll look like Death takes weekends off)
And in a lot of cases they would be right, just ask any supermarket worker. Social distancing seems to go out the window when doing the weekly shop and sadly the worst offenders are the ones most at risk, the elderly.

The dodgy comedian Roy "Chubby" Brown who appeared in the early series real name is Royston Vasey.
Not me . Best thing that ever happened to me . Hope it all works out LTL , if you love each other it's just a delay
