COVID-19: Land of Confusion.

 The Government has announced new extra lockdown measures for the Midlands, North West and parts of Yorkshire.

Glossing over the high Muslim population in the Midlands and Yorkshire, the restrictions are hitting Merseyside too, but then the Scousers don't go much for being told what to do.

But I notice that some parts of Greater Manchester are going back into lockdown after Augusts extra restrictions were lifted. I didn't know that the extra restrictions were lifted already.

And there's the issue: with all of these different edicts, rules, regulations and restrictions coming out of government, it's hard to know what the score is in parts of the country. England, Wales and Scotland, not a problem. Wales and Scotland talk funny so you know you're somewhere where the rules may be different.

But issuing several on-off-in-out-shake-it-all-about restrictions and relaxations in England is just causing confusion. And people are now saying "fuck it, why bother?" because it's too complicated to keep up.

Instead, lets have a short, sharp shutdown to sort the issue out. 14 days lockdown and let's see how the virus progresses afterwards. The time has come to reset, reboot and make it simple again. Stop spreading the fucking virus!

And why the fuck are we accepting illegal immigrant's from plague-ridden France still? Immediately bussed to hotels in Northern England and the Midlands (those locations sound familiar) and then free to roam the streets immediately, with no 14 days isolation period. Coincidence? I think not!

Let's have it: lockdown and only essential workers exempt. 

And only release lockdown after clear guidelines have been given and pubs, restaurants and cafes only allowed to reopen with proper mitigation measures in place. I've seen too many lax establishments open up with absolutely nothing in the way of mitigation. No screens, no distancing, not even hand sanitiser. Those fuckers need to be jumped on.

And lets stop pretending BLM and Extinction Rebellion are immune. They're not. Large Gatherings and protests should be stopped.

In Southampton the boat show was stopped just hours before it was due to open. What the fuck was it doing opening anyway? Who the fuck thought it was a good idea?

God fucking help us if COVID-19 was something really deadly like Ebola. We'd be royally fucked by now.
