I dont think so any more than here or the USA.
Any plans to buy from the shops on Monday?

Scotland was a bit behind our curve -and they made decisions differently because their R value was still above 1.
Ive not heard Nicola Sturgeon making any criticism of the Tory govt that could be interpreted as political point scoring.
Not that Im a fan of Sturgeon, Ive always found her irritating, but on CV19 she has been consistent and clear.

Except when she's been talking about care homes or testing or the NIKE conference.
I dont know about that, thanks for pointing it out, I will have a look.

The difference is the Europeans acted sooner on the virus...
And one wonders whether those who object to the protests are really concerned about the virus, or simply object to the protests themselves for 'ideological' reasons?

Well you can stop wondering. I absolutely object to these protests in the UK while we are part way through a pandemic and mass gatherings are banned. I don't care if the protestors kill themselves or kill their close family members. I care that they may spread the virus in the community after 12 weeks of miserable lockdown and risking the progress that has been made. I care about the vulnerable people that may be affected by their selfish irresponsibility.
And just for clarity, I have no problem with peaceful protests in normal times.
Me - Both reasons!
I agree...however the moment in history to make change is now.
this is the pivotal moment, not in 2 years time when George Floyd and Trumps nasty response has all been forgotten.
So do I.
like sending patients back to care homes and allowing the virus to kill some of the other residents -that is disgusting behaviour of a government who then dishonestly claim @the NHS didnt get overwhelmed.
Are you angry at this governments response?
the point is about protesters flouting social distancing

No, it's not. For the previously explained reasons.

Clinicians made decisions about which patients should be moved and to where and under what circumstances. Not the Government.
As I mentioned in another topic, what do you say about the 'selfish irresponsibility' of those who are telling people to get back on packed public transport every day to go to work?
Do you also not care if passengers kill themselves or kill their close family members in the name of the economy?
And which is the greater risk?
Protest or the daily commute?
Does the protest have any bearing on the commute, no!
The commute is absolutely essential at this time to get the country back on its feet.
Who said it did?
But is the daily commute a bigger risk than the protest?
Yes or no!
