The media is never full of good news, because fear and bad news sells better . . . . I agree, to some extent, that the media is being used to 'control by fear' and keep enforcing what the Government are saying. If you took out the story tellers that are the media, and take out the story the Government spins and only gave people the facts, there would be a lot more calm and understanding in Society. Panic buying wouldn't have happened for a start and neither would people snitching on their neighbours for having a visitor; although they would never have knocked on their door and checked if they were ok themselves . . . . What has now been created is essentially a Police State. How long before they start using mobile phone tracking information to really see peoples movements . . . . |

Re: Social Distancing ...
During mass events with closed roads like the marathon or Ride London cycle sportive the figures absolutely nosedive from 99whatevers to 4whatevers (I don't actually know the unit of measurement) I would imagine something similar being the case.
I've even noticed being out cycling how much nicer the air is and I'm not in an overly built up town. |

I think that often. I hope they release a report after.

Re: Social Distancing ...
I know they've been giving approximate indications of improvements - would be interesting to see hard fact.

Re: Social Distancing ...
if you base it on cities in the East, it is visibly cleaner - the same as places like Los Angeles.

Re: Social Distancing ...
such things as builders merchants are slowly starting to open back up here in Kirkcaldy. as long as people stick to the distancing and they are. its been well behaved from the local population. in fact people have been pleasant. even the neds and junkies are behaving.

Re: Social Distancing ...
So, they were sent on their way rejoicing?
They should have been promoted to pedestrian status for the duration! PS: they probably went a couple of hundred yards from here.
