The gov is IN LEAGUE with the insurance companies It's definitely an attempt to avoid being financially liable from the govt, but it's predictably backfired because now everyone's just ignoring them.

All the pubs, cafes and restaurants in my area are open as normal and pretty full too. So much for the government's "advice". This was an image going round Twitter yesterday - a Florida beach filled with people yesterday. Pretty fucking stupid, selfish and indulgent. I'd hope they all get sick, except for the healthcare workers they'd stress out in doing so.

If authorities don't want people to go to the beach, then close the fucking beach! Roy Schneider would be with me on this!

and to be fair they are in the open air and not exactly cheek by jowl. A friend who is 69 and suffers from hypertension went ballistic when his son admitted to spending Saturday night in a huge club in the city, and now refuses to interact with said offspring except in open spaces at a few meters distant.

If authorities don't want people to go to the beach, then close the fucking beach! They should have, but it's in Florida, where the average collective IQ among public officials, and the public, is around 87. Florida exists so stupid Americans can make fun and shake their heads at even stupider Americans.

A friend of mine is putting on a big party in a club/bar in Camden this Saturday. I am tempted to go but the fact that I'm still under the weather leads me to think attending would be a bit irresponsible of me. I'm quite surprised it's going ahead really.

No, because it would end up just like something you read in the press.

They shut down all the regional parks in our county. I thought since I have to work from home, it will be nice taking a walk or ride in the park each day behind my apartment. They're shutting until April 12th.
Although I see a few curmudgeons like me walking the trails from my deck.

£330 billion.
12 month suspension of business rates for hospitality industry (this helps my wife enormously as she's seen her work evaporate in a matter of days).
3 month mortgage holiday.

Johnson with his ridiculous, baseless use of 'brilliant' and 'fantastic' regardless of what he's talking about - presumably to give people a boost, to induce a sense of optimism. You get the same thing with Trump. They must think people are stupid.
