It's like having a peeing section in the swimming pool. NYC has different rules than someplace 20 miles away. It's not about staying safe; it's about government control.
Wales is not the place to be...

Oh, ok, could not figure that out, duh, me,
And I couldn't think of the word 'immunity.' It's called 'herd immunity.'Oh, ok, could not figure that out, duh, me,

Of course, the doctors have said, recently, there is no such thing, just saying what had been said, and what I said at the beginning of all this. (Yes, I am a āI told you soā person.

The problem with that, Aunt Marg is guide lines and executive orders are only pieces of paper in a court of law since they are not law. Thus, law suits have a great chance of winning. At least in the U.S. One must legislate in order to force the issue.

We're heading back up in Mississippi. We did not see a spike when school and football started, did not see a spike when restaurants went to 75% capacity but ARE spiking since the statewide mask mandate was lifted a couple of weeks ago.

IMO it makes no sense to lash out at the government.
Any of us that are fortunate enough not to need to go out to work or school should be content to stay home out of harm's way.
In this area, there is a lot of hand-wringing over what the government thinks we should do about Halloween or if we can safely attend fitness centers, movie theaters, etc... What has happened to us that we pretend to live in a free society and yet we are incapable of making logical decisions for our own personal safety and the safety of our families?
Be smart, stay home, stay safe, save lives.

Wait, just wait. No Halloween?
No mobs of kids begging for candy, knocking on my door after Iāve gone to bed, running over my plants, driving the neighborhood dogs insane, and narrowly missed by cars? This year-none of that?
And people claim there is no god, yet we are delivered from Halloween. Hallelujah.

..we haven't been in Lockdown since around June or JulyWhat a shame that is, Lew, especially at a time like this.

I look at the USA, and I just shake my head. No one listens to anyone. All that exists is criticism. Well, criticism isn't effective against coronavirus. A couple weeks ago on a local forum, a younger person in the area posted that he was afraid the schools were going to close and go remote. He said that he didn't see why kids had to lose out on the best times of their lives to give up for old folks in the worst of their time.
You see, the problem is criticism.... it divides at a time when we need to unite to fight a basically unknown virus.
But, the government cannot MAKE anyone align with the recommendations. We have rights in the US, and THAT is what is killing us. It isn't the virus that is deadly right now, it is our RIGHTS

Are you suggesting we shouldn't have rights? @Ellen Marie. I really don't understand what it is that you are trying to say.

@Furryanimal ..can you take a rental in England for now, until you can sell your place ?... your situation is enough to cause severe emotional challenges. If you can get out before your lockdown.. at least you'll be able to breathe easily.

Can't afford it.I can't sell the house because I don't own it until probate completes.And that process has been going on for nearly a year now,Stalled by a legal issue I don't understand.And lockdown means estate agents are closed and house sales are banned.I had hoped to have sold a garage by now which was going to fund my big trip which isn't going to happen either.I know I own that but until probate completes I have nothing to prove it!Oh hum...

And when England goes into lockdown, does furry animal move again? Time for us all to buckle down. It is what it is, adjust.

I donāt understand what you mean either. A CHILD doesnāt want to do many things children donāt get to choose what is best for them, adults do. Children can, and do, voice a lot of criticisms, we allow this and listen, and then they do what they are told.

I have been looking at hotels and most are fully booked in places I fancy going.People are desperate for breaks.Adjust to what?My days go wake up.exist ,see no one,go to bed.Seven days a week.That is not living.....And I object to the phrase 'grow up'.I'm off before I say something I regret

Since you object, I will apologize and will change my post. Perhaps, because I am in so much pain from the labrum tear and tendon tear in my hip, compounding all my other painful issues I am not as patient with anyone whining but me. I whine a LOT.I have been looking at hotels and most are fully booked in places I fancy going.People are desperate for breaks.Adjust to what?My days go wake up.exist ,see no one,go to bed.Seven days a week.That is not living.....And I object to the phrase 'grow up'.I'm off before I say something I regret
I would imagine our over 200,000 dead would prefer to be in lockdown rather than, you know, dead, but again perhaps thatās just me, just my opinion. Our dead donāt wake up, donāt talk to anyone, donāt see anyone, and, oh, wait, donāt exist anymore. It weights me down, the incalculable loss my country is experiencing.
I am so very sorry you are just existing due to your countryās efforts to keep you alive. Iāve spoken to my son, he has a spare room, he will let you stay. Come to Utah. Enjoy the virus. Our hospitals are full, the virus is still increasing, deaths are up; but we are not in lockdown. You can do more than exist here, existing ends when you die, just saying . @Furryanimal

@Furryanimal, surely this won't be forever. It'll just feel like it for a while.
When a safe, effective vaccine becomes available the activities you mentioned will surely return.
I understand your pain and frustration. A few weeks of near isolation would be a bitter pill to swallow.

The majority of the people dying aren't paying taxes anymore, or not as much and are likely taking more out than they're paying in with SS etc. If govt.s were actively playing a role in deaths to prop up the coffers they'd want more deaths not less.
Man, we're pretty soft nowadays. We think these lockdowns are such an imposition. You have to stay home with your 200 channels and your streaming and your internet, etc, "Oh the Humanity!". Just imagine what is was like during the Spanish Flu or even standing in food lines during the Depression hoping to get some bread.
And I get it, I hate this stuff, I want to do what I want to do like before. I'm going stir crazy like everybody else, but is is really THAT bad?
