A council has apologised for telling people that coronavirus will be"waiting for you" at the pub when they reopen this weekend.
The post also included a short video warning people:"Don't put yourself at risk for the sake of a pint."John Harrison, co-owner of the Beer House, said:"I was shocked to see the tweet after we'd spent weeks working tirelessly to make sure our business is a safe environment, going above and beyond the government guidelines.
Why apologise for stating the truth we have to wake up
They shouldn’t have to apologise. What they said is scientifically correct. It’s sort of how infectious diseases survive and spread.
Summing up the meddling controlling arrogance of most councils.
It’s hiding inside the jukebox 😝 😂 😆
Fair point, I say. If we see a massive spike over the next week or two, will they reinstate that accurate tweet?
I mean, they're not wrong.
Seems a reasonable thing to say. Coronavirus hasn't gone away.
True though.
Do Asians actually down pints.
Sadly they are right.
Why apologize SheffCouncil.. ...your absolutely right.
Of course it will 🙄
What a shocker 😮
Labour council is it?
Look who’s running the council.
But it will, snowflakes.
Well everyone now knows who to vote for in the next election, none of the current clowncil members
Pity they didn't say this at the BLM demos
Holbornlolz The only reason this is an article is because they beat you to the punch and you're salty
paulmac708 Lol - social media intern looking for a new gig
So the clown who put that out has been sacked?
This is just the sort of comment we expect to here from our Labour Council.
Well they're not wrong are they
It’s about time people started encouraging business and commerce in this country. So they think money grows on trees and jobs will be there forever?
I made it through the 90’s being absolutely mangled on MD, alcohol, coke and ket every other weekend... So I think I’ll be alright with a non fatal flu bug down there thanks captain 🤓
Last one out of Sheffield city centre, please turn off the lights. National embarrassment once again SheffCouncil 🌲 🌲 🌲
Superbusinesz Why apologise? They were right originally.
Sheffield council is spot on, By the end of today there will have been thousands infected due to pubs reopening, Do you really think people are gonna listen to social distancing rules when intoxicated (pissed) not a fucking chance. Can't wait for last orders at the bar 😷🤮
Brown666W It will be.
I'm betting they didn't say this to the protesters on the BLM march in Sheffield.
The new normal - your government hates you.
Why apologise for something that is true.
But it's true can't run away from the facts
Dont apologise for stating the obvious
Unless you’re carrying a BLM placard.
Depends how sensible people are
Probably a very possibility comment, only takes one or two ppl in the pub for the virus to spread.
Covid-19 is waiting wherever we go; pubs included!!!
In the same way it and multiple other viruses are always awaiting everyone, everywhere.
Why? They ain’t lying ⚰️
That's lies everyone isn't up alot yet all safe Sheffield but locked down in week so
Why apologise it is true, shows they have no bottle in backing down to snow flakes !
Nobody knows! On the balance of probabilities they are right. If they were the gov no apology would be needed because they would blame the elite unions?
When is Sheffield City Council bringing in sharia law?
Sounds like the council aren't they brightest...
TonyP12490831 People saying Councils are telling the truth, we are Truly in a mad, Mad World!
But it’s true, you won’t see me in a pub yet.
A Labour council no doubt, the message has a definite religious undertone... keep religion out of politics
Why apologise for telling the truth?
They haven’t lied though have they? The virus does love crowded places indoors, maybe a bit tactless but honest. If only we had a government like that.........
Why? The truth never lies. Was someone's party mood dented?
Apologise for the truth why?
Sheffield Council. The same council who ordered the chopping down of all the trees there to save them the fag of sweeping up leaves. ‘Nuff said.
It’s true
aginnt damn fearmongering liars. the general public needs to free of these oppressive lockdown measures. the virus is not lethal enough to justify any of these measures.
In all fairness with the drinks flowing and inhibitions lowering pubs do have the potential to be super spreader central
The scamdemic just keeps on giving. 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
😂😂😂
Sack 'em
From personal experience, i have found sheffield council to be incompetent at everything they do. So its no surprise they were spreading unsubstantiated fear and causing damage in the process - its what they do best!
Wouldn't be a Labour council would it ?
It's just flu, a little later than usual
Is it wearing an orange sweater, maybe a book in the hand, or a rose? Is it bringing in protection, just in case the night overflows chemistry? Is it vegan? Am I supposed to pay? I'm so excited.
SheffCouncil serious pandemic 0.04% of the population are infected. get a grip on yourselves
Quite right that they apologised. Fear mongering hysteria. At present you would need to meet 1700 people in England before meeting someone with coronavirus. If a person doesn’t want to go to the pub, that’s their choice. Stop trying to terrify those who do.
Should never have closed in the first place
Maybe nature will return the favour! Selfish prat!
Has CMO_England apologised for saying exactly the same thing? (Obviously he shouldn’t as it is true).
Why?
They said it how it is. The virus hasn't gone, it's still very much active. OK a lot slower than what it was...
“Councillor Mazher Iqbal, cabinet member for business and investment ...” No agenda there 🙄
This is worser than going to a pub as it is truly getting boring now, hearing the same old shit every minute of everyday and week, get a pair of bo...... and just take everyday with a pinch of salt before even you wish they would shut up about the same old story.
Holbornlolz Odds on the writer of that being a follower of a certain religion which doesn't drink alcohol...🤔
Seems to be a lot of pompous idiots here stating pubs are unsafe. They have bent over backwards to clean, reorganise & prepare & deserve thanks & support for trying to keep going & for employing so many across the industry. I’m am looking forward to enjoying a meal at our local
Judging by these comments we will never get out of this. Maybe we should stay in and watch Netflix forever...
Not wrong though are they
Why are they apologising? It’s the truth.
Holbornlolz Hahahaha
SheffCouncil obviously forgot they have a duty of care to their local businesses as well as their own Leftwaffe agenda. They'll no doubt still be wanting to collect their council taxes as and when - if the businesses still exist that is!
Says more about Sheffield than virus......
Why? They will probably be right
Why..they're right lol
Stop believing the news , I can’t see many vunrable people with underlining health issues in the pub , this illness has a recovery rate of of 95% if not more , you have more Chance of being killed by a car on the way home ,,, NOT much flu this year , if you haven’t noticed ,
Unless its a riot inside coz clearly the scamdemic is scared of those ?!?!
These fearmongers stoke the fear that a lot of people in the replies seem to feel.
Considering it only survives on a surface for a limited time its hardly been waiting for the last 4 months.
Plandemic SocialConditioning Slaves Sheep MedicalFraid ArrestBillGates
Good ill take mine on the rocks
The council is correct! Landlords are thinking about income but the virus is thinking about hosts and survival. We need to get back to work but that shouldn't be at the expense of recklessness and lives.
Best bit of advice for a while. MaskUp if you do go to the pub If you get mild virus infection 10-20% of you mostly 20-45 year olds will get long-term illness Take it seriously the virus does!!
If ppl know each other in their local pub, will know who has been ill.
Holbornlolz Sheffield Council .... LOL
I'm glad everyone's not seeing a problem with the scaremongering - how many suicides do you think there are going to be from this
Lol.. upset a few wokes no doubt. It is indeed waiting for you, best of luck....
I'd be like: sorrynotsorry
Holbornlolz Well, it will be waiting for them! No masks AND indoors, judgement impaired after a few drinks = covid cocktail.
TonyP12490831 No need to apology, if it’s true, Sheffield Council! bbc on the other hand has quite a lot, to apologise for!
How do some of these councillors even get their jobs with dumb statements like that.
We are in a world of constantly feeling the need to make an apology for things we say. This must stop. I am really sorry about pointing this out and trust it hasn’t upset anyone...🥴
If you are going out best get your affairs in order first.
msm 👇
What they meant to say is that 'some of you'll be taking Coronavirus out with you this weekend, you selfish twts'. And 'Don't be licking any toilet bowls'.
No need to apologise, death is inevitable.
Who are they apologising to?
Is this a message from the Mayor (who probably doesn't drink due to religious reasons) to deter pub goers from consuming alcohol? To destroy the pub businesses? Just wondering...
What's really going on?
Perhaps quote Chris Whitty and call it a high risk activity.
The bed wetters in the replies , when did we become a nation of wimps 🤦🏻♂️
WHY?
How come they have to apologise while Hancock is scot free
THEY WOULDN'T BY CHANCE BE A LABOUR COUNCIL WOULD THEY?
🚩코비드19는 세상의 즐거움과 죄악에서 떠나라는 하나님의 경고입니다. 📣
Well it will be won't it. bound to be someone in the pub with symptoms
Not a big fan of Sheffield but they are right in some respect, It’s a huge mistake re-opening pubs, pubs are going to be rammed potentially spreading the virus plus it put a strain on the NHS with all the drunken bums heading to the hospital in the early hours when pubs close.
Maybe we’ll find out in a few weeks time there was no need to apologise?
True, well said and very valid!! covidiots my house is closed to you!!
Good luck tomorrow England, I’m so sorry you’re in this situation.
Sheffield CC is not wrong CV19 is everywhere though not just at pubs Very high chance of getting it at church as well God works in predictable ways
Absolutely, they'll be taking it there with them.
'Apologies for telling the truth fellers'
We need to do something about far-left councils and devolved administrations using the coronavirus to push their interventionist agenda while scoring political points against the Tory government.
Good for Sheffield Council!! Looking after their people.
Well they’re kinda right
MightyFridayVigil
Typical of a Liebour council.
2 pints of covid and a packet of crisps please...
To be clear, only a sore head the following day awaits you at pubs in Sheffield. And bad memories. I cleared out the trolls the last time I was there.
Fair point.
Why? It’s truth. Now plz don’t tell that it’s also offensive and ppl will be offended
yeah. normal service is resumed. 2 + 2 = 5
Why apologies? Look at what’s happening in the states where they opened up bars before Covid had gotten under control.
Withdraw the apology. No snowflakes in July. End off.
They're not wrong, so why apologize
At least Sheffield Council had decency to apologise, which is more than hmtreasury did over their idiotic, thoughtless and crass tweet which has caused offence to many bereaved families. BBCNews
They're right. Tomorrow will be the start of a new sh*t show.
Last real council alive and that official
Should not have to apologise for telling the truth
The PM never apologises
Is it worse than the Home Office telling you to go out and get blitzed?
A labour council, of course.
Better not charge for it, can get it free in the mosque down the road.
Makes it sound like a stalker 👀
London19721 Not likely. Corona beer though 👍.
If all government bodies were as clear on their advice given, we might not have had the devastation that we have seen! Good for them to be straight with people
CRIKEY Sheffield council have a sense of humour whoever's put that tweet out must be related to the grim reaper!!🤣🤣
Why should they apologise for telling the truth? The Government puts smoking kills warnings on cigarette packets...we can see cigarettes. We can't see Coronavirus.
We have to apologise for telling truths now.
I heard alcoholism and randy behaviour waits for people in pubs. And trolls.
Why? It will.
Covid at the bars? Rubbish! Also:
‘Just popping down the pub for a pint love..., do you want owt while I’m out?’... ‘yeh bring me back a case of Coronavirus’ 🤣🤣
Not badly worded. Very honest assessment given the new infection rates in a large part of England. Madness to be going to the pub.
its right though
Well they are not wrong. Stay at home guys. Let the brexiters go out
defundthebbc
Why are they apologising? It will be.
I don't see why. No lies told.
Lol. Thats very harsh. Perhaps true after a few pints 🤫🤔
I don't see any reason for them to need to apologise. It's likely true.
Well, they didn't really lie, did they?
Well they're right?
Why the apology!
They were right tho
Blimey that's a bit dark!
Why apologise? It's very likely true.
