pubs to shut an hour early
Particularly at weekends, many bars, pubs, clubs and restaurants trade long into the next day.
After the long lockdown, many won't have had sufficient trading normality to allow them to survive.
Large sections of the hospitality industry will fail, if as predicted, the curfews last for six more months.
I'm just waiting to see a drunk, unmasked conga line after closing time.
I am sure Honey, is no stranger to the conga around Liverpool singing the theme to Liver Birds.
Come and say hello next time you spot me! 
Terrible for the industry, but I am secretly delighted at the idea of not having to stand at the bar to get served, being able to see the whole music performance, and getting home before ten. 
Wont young people and lushes just start earlier and then all pile in to each others houses to carry on boozing?
That's what they doing around Dorset and Devon. Boozing in each others houses that is not conga.
Why aren't the old boilers dancing around their handbags anymore ? |

I agree JK about taking sensible measures but not locking the world down.
Agree with Honey that this current tinkering is futile if we continue to obsess on the infection rate.
Either shut down properly or consider following Sweden. Either path takes courage; one thing Boris does not possess.
As it looks like we are going to continue down the state interference can stop the virus route, we should lockdown fully now for 2 months - not in Winter.
This to stop the spike in Covid hospitalizations coming at the same time as the peak of other winter respiratory illnesses. |

They wont need to inflate the figures very soon. It seems they are planning to send covid patients from hospital to care home.
Again. And look how well that turned out! 
"If" we need to get rid of and avoid the spread, the schools and colleges will have to shut.
Messing around with closing times is futile. |

Essentially it's similar to Flu before they found a vaccine a few years ago. Should we have shut down then, and avoided all the Flu deaths? Answer - No. Of course we should CONTROL the transmission if we can (NOT control the virus - impossible) by advice and strong recommendations. Increase both protection and treatment in care homes & hospitals. Death rates will fall (they are already way below Cancer, Flu, Sepsis etc).
I think society should ban cigarettes but that won't happen. I think personal hygiene and common sense are vital, not laws. I think media should print ALL death figures and NOT exaggerate the danger of Covid19 because without responsibility punters assume media inflation is truth. It's not. |

Would you prefer then that all (including the many we see ignoring even the most basic covid protocols) should be allowed to mingle and associate with those who do?
In the absence of persuasive evidence that lockdown measures save lives, or that the deaths and harm from state interference is less than from the effects of lockdown.
Yes, of course. |
