| Pubs on 16:43 - Oct 17 by majorraglan | Sounds like a tidy well run place, if all premises were run like this then things would be a lot better. Scotia mentioned the Santa Clara in St Clears, a license to sell alcohol bring responsibilities and if people can’t adhere to the law then they should be prosecuted and lose those privileges. Drakers, Boris et al should have seed prescribed direction to the pubs, if they couldn't adhere to it then it’s a case of not being able to open or loss of licence, but some parties are far more reluctant to act than other. The current 3 tier system in England is a joke, people in the areas with the highest rates of infection “should avoid” travel etc, which means if they want to go somewhere they can, it’s not enforceable. It’s radio rental!! Boris is advising people not to do something, but he’s not stopping them which is a repeat of what we had in advance of the big March lockdown when people started acting off their own initiative. |
I’m in tier 1 in the south east corner so have been really lucky all the way through this so far. Even so, I’ve seen no evidence of people not adhering to the rules here - masks everywhere and businesses adapting really well. One of the blokes I go to the pub with is a copper, who says they’ve not had many issues either. |  | |  |

| Pubs on 16:15 - Oct 17 by Scotia | Singapore has less than a tenth of the population of the UK. An absurd comparison. If you can find a country of 60 million people, who are part of a free market with their neighbours, who happen to be of a similar size and within 20 miles of their border and who have successfully controlled the virus after having a massive outbreak by closing their borders, you may be on to something. I didn't want hospitality to open, it had to open. If it had opened at the same time as England we'd be in exactly the same position as now but they'd have a few more quid in the bank to stay open longer term. Why do you think the virus is increasing in France, Spain, Italy and Germany? I intend to break the law because if that law is passed it is moronic. Who am I going to pass the virus to or contract it from if I take the Dogs for a walk to Caswell? Why can't I go to a car showroom, a furniture shop or go and buy a shirt? When shops opened there was no increase so why, if as rumoured, is Drakeford shutting them again? The virus can be controlled with adequate test and trace. Today there were less than 9000 tests in Wales, Gething said in the summer we had a capacity for 15000 only to retract that this month saying that was a best case scenario number. WG are as bad as Westminster. |
As for comments about Wales having higher figures than England. Look at todays figures. 5 Deaths in Wales 150 UK.5x66.4/3.2 =103. Less Deaths in Wales New Cases Wales 674 UK 16171 674X66.4/3.2= 13985. Less cases today in Wales. Try sticking to facts. |  | |  |

No they won't. Obviously. Neither of those countries had an outbreak similar to Britain or even Europe. |  | |  |

Of course they didn't, because they have had pandemics before and new exactly what to do. Unlike the western governments which were totally unprepared, except for perhaps Germany, who were in a better position. Which is the whole point. |  | |  |

Have you just used the UK figurs to represent England? That's just wrong. It's bound to return a higher figure on both counts. Have you got accurate figures for England or is your post just a typo where UK should say England? |  |

Fair points. Our government conducted an exercise in 2016 and we were found wanting, lessons weren’t and we are in a state. We should have shut down much earlier and prevented people traveling on skiing holidays in February when the scale of the disaster was becoming apparent. We were unprepared, the governments eye was off the ball and we are paying the price now. |  | |  |

It is the uk figure hence where the 66 Million comes from. The figures for 17 October shows Wales 674 England 13299 so the result would be 674X54/3.2 is 11373 nearly 2000 less equivalent. The same result. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Maybe because they are more worried about the money aspect rather than the health aspect? And when the health problem overtook the money aspect it was too late to stop the spread? Hindsight maybe but after the lockdown we should have relaxed rules more slowly and only let hospitality open where they could implement distancing and had been inspected and approved by police. Maybe we should still allow places to open on those terms, hard on smaller places that can't but that's a pandemic for you. Stopping international travek sooner just seemed like common sense. |  |

International travel has probably had more impact than pubs. It is people going on holiday that brought it back when it was very nearly gone. It came back because our UK government allowed 3 and 1/2 flights from Zante to Cardiff which is over 3 times the length of a flight from Singapore to Kuala Lumpar and further than Singapore to Bangkok and not much shorter than a flight from Singapore to Hong Kong or Singapore to Manilla. |  | |  |

My point is that closing our borders now would be the epitome of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted. Utterly pointless. We had ten's of thousands of UK residents on holiday in virus hotspots before we new they were hotspots. We already have enough of it her to keep us going for years, and have done since March. |  | |  |

It isnt pointless and had Johnson not opened them with his Air Bridges plan when he did people wouldnt have brought the virus back to spread it around in pubs and subsequently through students. It is no coincidence that countries that have kept their borders closed have not had anything like the problems we have had. Shame that you cannot see that because of your right wing views Mainland China 4634 Deaths Population 1.4 billion people UK 43579 Deaths Population 66.4 million people South Korea 443 Deaths Population 51.23 million people Thailand 59 Deaths Population 69.85 million people Malaysia 180 Deaths Population 32.37 million People Singapore 28 Deaths Population 5.7 million people According to you the uk gets it right whereas the others with far lower death rates got it wrong.

Not having a go at you, but these are just the figures reported to WHO from each country. International introduction , apart from the like of the Zante dickheads, is low. It never went away |  | |  |

I am not sure I’d trust our own stats, between March and 2nd of October the U.K. What’s the total number of excess deaths in the U.K. since March, it’s higher 43,000 that’s for sure. |  | |  |
