Pubs more important than human life

Pressure to reduce from 2 meters to 1.

Despite.....

The push to review the social distancing rule conflicts with the latest advice from the Government's two top science and health advisers but the science community is split on how risky it would be to drop to one metre.

England's Chief Medical Officer Professor Chris Whitty and the Government's chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance suggested two metres was still necessary as the risk of spreading the virus remained too great.

Sir Patrick said: 'It's not an absolute (that) beyond two metres is safe and slightly less is not safe, there's a graduation across that, and so roughly at a metre it's somewhere between 10 and 30 times more risky than at two metres.'


Fuck going to the pub's what I say.

Reading that article and looking at everything else going on i do wonder if we're just being guided into self spreading to divert attention from the existing government clusterfuck.

In all honesty I suspect it's been decided that the NHS can now cope with a few more patients ................

The magic number in Germany and Austria is 1.5 meters.

2m is an arbitrary number but it is the number we have got used to.

We are loosening enough restrictions for now (imo probably a little too soon in England)
1m is virtually just normal pre pandemic personal space rules.
