North Wales take a hit for reckless SOUTH WALES - COVID - 19 Update 3 - Health/Econom

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 8.18 pm post the following, " Pubs, cafes and restaurants in Wales will have to close at 10pm, the Welsh first minister, Mark Drakeford, announced this evening.  "

Lets Get Real:

It seems highly unfair that North Wales has to take the brunt of pubs, cafes closing down because of the reckless action of those in South Wales.  One is somewhat shocked that North Wales Assemly membes and MPs have not pointed out that it is unfair, North Wales has followed the rules and the payback, we lose our leasure activities.   If the Welsh Government wanted to be firm it should have CLOSED DOWN South Wales, but of course the Labour Party is afraid of doing that because that is the base of its support, thus everyone else has to pay the price.  NOT FAIR on NORTH Wales.

How long will the new restrictions LAST ? - Covid - 19 - Update 2 - Health/Economy

Sky News: Reports in its 2.56pm post the following on the restrictions " But here’s the kicker - he also levelled with us that this could well last for six months unless the numbers palpably change.  "

Lets Get Real:

In essence the PM is telling the voter, you have to behave or Christmas festive fun is CANCELLED, that will not go down well in the red wall seats.  One has to ask, should we have followed Sweden, no restrictions and they are not falling apart, they must think that the UK and the rest of Europe has gone nuts.   This blog did ask at the start, should we just allow it to happen, no restrictions, even the Spanish Flu died out after 1918, sometimes acts of nature or God, as just their will, and there is nothing man or Doctors can do about it.  It is a question to think about!

New COVID - 19 restrictions in England and Scotland - Update 1 - Economy/Health

BBC News: Reports " Boris Johnson has set out new restrictions for England including the closure of hospitality sectors at 22:00 BST and further rules on face masks.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is not a full lockdown as expected by some, it limits pubs etc to closing at 10pm, all that will do is make people who want a drink go out a few yours earlier or drink at home with friends.   There are limits as to how far you can restrict the British people, what happens if the new restrictions do not work and you have to use more heavy restrictions and fines.  One does wonder how the UK Government coped with the Spanish Flu of 1918, and they had a WAR to finish.  One does hope the boffins are right that such restrictions are needed, also one has to hope that the boffins get develop a vaccine, otherwise Christmas is cancelled or it will be a miserable one, Oliver Cromwell would have love that ( he cancelled Christmas while Lord Protector ).    As a poet once said and this blog is miss quoting, many miles to walk before a drink!
