No shit, Sherlock!

Where was the surge in cases when the pubs were allowed to reopen? This is just scaremongering rubbish.

This wasn’t known before lockdown eased? Anyone on the street could have confirmed this...

I wonder if it's connected with people having normal human interaction. Or would I need to be a 'top doc' or expert to posit such an incredible theory?

Exactly the opposite to what they were saying two months ago.

I'm all against lockdowns and believe COVID is massively over exaggerated as a health risk, HOWEVER pubs are breeding grounds for germs at the best of times, clubs even more so. Maybe just take a break from drinking out, sit at home and enjoy each others company with a brandy. EZ

But it’s impossible to get it at indoor Islamic gatherings.

Perfect storm is brewing

But this is ok?

Meanwhile in Ireland..

Can’t be right cos Mr Wetherspoon’s said that you can’t catch it in pubs! And he supports Brexit & funds the Tory party so he must be right? Can’t upset Tim by closing his pubs!

What happened to herd immunity. The best place to find a great herd is in a pub. So....has Octoberfest in Germany been cancelled. Some German people are going to mighty 'pissed' off.

Pubs shut so the schools can open seems like a good trade off to me 👍

Who would have guessed?

Definition of an expert: Some twerp who props up the Government's bollocks. We're just not taking it seriously enough are we.

Well worth it tho 🍺

No shit Sherlock.

Don't worry everyone, I'm sure we're 'following the science' (that suits this particular government agenda). 🤦🏼‍♂️

Let's just go the whole hog and ban alcohol entirely! All these people being sociable and enjoying themselves. tsk, tsk. ban it all!

Well if obesity is one of the main factors for bad outcomes. Maybe the big ones should avoid the pubs. Err body else in da club get tipsy!

well that’s a surprise 🙄

Of course they are that is commin sense

What a load of shit

No shit sherlock 😒

Seems that the Papers have any old “expert” On the front page for Sunday. The media and Government not liking that the public ain’t frightened anymore. Keep trying😂

It’s not rocket science

Yes

Who are these coronavirus experts and why haven’t they spoke up until now?

Which experts?

My local is well set up and feels very safe. The bars open in the city centre 😱

No shit...🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

No shit Sherlock

And for that. We should all close it. If it carries on like this.

Agenda 21

I can't help thinking what's the difference if people are in offices anyway? Similar risk I would say.

This is UN agenda 21 not for cv19 get you out of car no more family homes

Who knew, eh?

Things that didn’t age well....🤡

Not all pubs are alike, in my Suffolk village 8 to ten people socially distance and enjoy a pint and good company, not all pubs are alike.

I struggle to believe anything now. So many oppossing views? Cant all be right

No shit!

the people reading this are at home. those not reading this are in the b*stard pub.

I thought alcohol killed the virus?

You love a pandemic

Pub landlord 'complacent' in enforcing Covid rulesLandlord of pub linked to coronavirus outbreak says he was 'simply not strong enough' enforcing rules He regrets that he got found out, meanwhile businesses like my employer suffer because a*seholes like this can't follow simple instruction and we continue to wait to be allowed to open despite incredible efforts to ensure covid safety. I do have sympathy. Can imagine starting with good intentions but so easy for things to slip as people get more intoxicated and you try to actually run the business of serving drinks. It's time for revolution, the virus has gone. Zero deaths today. This is regime change.

The shield is open on all sides. I don’t think anyone has claimed that masks protect the person wearing them. It protects those around them. Idiots. they still need to wear a fucking mask. air, how does it work
