Social contact should be minimal & only for essential things, which I believe work is.

Going for a Sunday roast with granny, surrounded by a pub full of similars, isn't essential.

Why anybody over 70 would be gambling with this, I don't know - And anyone having to go to work or school, shouldn't be going anywhere near over 70's at all.

Well I've just been pick my teenage son up from youth club where there was about 60 in there..on the way home I drove passed a pub which was bouncing with revellers celebrating paddys day..all irresponsible eh...you lock yourself away in your back bedroom... I'm off for a pint

jesus christ

Fill your boots mate... but when your parents are dying, drowning in their own snot, then don't go blabbering to anyone about how bad British healthcare is, or how poor a job the government are doing trying to stop this virus?

i have a friend abroad in intensive care... he has diabetes... so he was vulnerable.. he is in a bad way.

I have elderly parents and relatives... i have a type 1 diabetic brother who is classified as high risk.

We have clear guidelines.... we can see whats happened elsewhere.

Its this kind of selfish behaviour that will cost lives.... Your 'only' is their 'everything'.

Really sorry to hear that and hope things go well for you your parents and your brother..to me I.ll try and lead a normal sort of life as possible as no doubt you do yourself which can't be easy...

anyway, back to the joviality of the original post.

There is every chance a load of clubs go to the wall when the season gets cancelled... RL could easily be a different animal when the dust settles.

So if I decide to go for a pint with my mates and there are a couple of elderly people sat in the same pub, who shouldn't be in There?? If I'm going to Have to go to work every day, coming into contact with over a 100 people, I see no reason why I shouldn't nip for a pint after work if I want one.

In total agreement pal...

Personally, I think you are all in the wrong, but like I said, if you want to put yourself and anybody else you meet in future at further risk than need be, then go ahead and fill your boots - I'm not desperate enough that I can't go a few weeks without going to the pub for a pint.

Anybody who is, is basically the modern day equivalent of the fella sat in a small room of people puffing away on his ciggy, putting all at risk just so he can enjoy his life pleasures.

When was the last time you were allowed in a pub..are you aware smoking is banned inside you have to enjoy your ciggy outside..

Holy f*** , read the post carefully.....

come on folks, lets not turn on each other, thats what the virus wants.

Don't get so hung up was meant as a tongue in cheek comment...

For all of who are knowledgeable about financial affairs , are Rugby/ Super League clubs in the pot for some of the government assistance to businesses that was announced yesterday?
