    George Floyd Death and the Wider Consequences

    Absolutely disgusting behaviour and I have no time whatsoever for these people........ black lives matter? Well clearly no lives matter to them or they wouldn't be having demo's in the middle of Covid-19. Let's hope none of their families end up in hospital on ventilators saying "I can't breath"...

    Face coverings compulsory on public transport in England from 15 June

    Exactly...... how much trouble is it just to put a face covering on? Seriously if that's all people have got to worry about........,

    10 for £6 in mobile street...... they do vary in quality though.

    Who told you that....... only it sounds like you have made it up?

    Face coverings compulsory on public transport in England from 15 June

    Yes it does take away a key facet of human contact but it's not going to be forever....... and clearly this based on advice from experts so the cheap political points scoring is rather tiresome........... this is all rather reminiscent of the rather lame arguments put forward against the...

    Face coverings compulsory on public transport in England from 15 June

    A scarf will do....... a face covering doesn't necessarily mean a mask........ honestly is it that difficult to just comply? I'd be all in favour of freedom of choice in normal circumstances but a face covering is a small price to pay to use public transport normally.

    Long term social distancing: Impact on public life & public transport?

    It remains to be seen how long it lasts.......... anyway there has been a steady move towards online shopping for sometime now, covid has just speeded it up.

    Long term social distancing: Impact on public life & public transport?

    It's the same everywhere and it looks that's how it's going to be for the foreseeable........ I noticed my local barbers being refitted to comply with social distancing and it's going to be a queue to get in most shops....... not too bad in the sunshine but it's not going to be much fun...

    Long term social distancing: Impact on public life & public transport?

    No I'm working mostly from home and I was before the virus............. different people have different circumstances and I think a lot of people are going to be uneasy about using public transport for sometime to come.

    Long term social distancing: Impact on public life & public transport?

    I think it's you that needs to get a grip, it's not about trying to be macho. Some people have very good reason to be unwilling to return to work including footballer Troy Deeney.

    Long term social distancing: Impact on public life & public transport?

    I'm no expert but I think you could well be right about a second wave if people don't act responsibly, I know it's a pain to say the least but the situation is what it is and we're by no means out of the woods yet.

    Long term social distancing: Impact on public life & public transport?

    Obviously we need to get the economy moving again, but it seems like social distancing is going to be with us for the foreseeable future.

    Long term social distancing: Impact on public life & public transport?

    I think the virus or the possibility of passing it onto family members is likely to be of greater concern.

    Long term social distancing: Impact on public life & public transport?

    Yes although at the moment I'd only make car journeys that are essential, any breakdown or accident and others are put at risk. Of course there aren't many options of places to go anyway, I wouldn't visit anybodys house and pubs, restaurants etc are closed.

    Long term social distancing: Impact on public life & public transport?

    I can think of a few train journeys I'd like to make but I haven't, each to their own decision on the matter.

    Long term social distancing: Impact on public life & public transport?

    I think it's up to each individual to decide whether their journey is essential, my partner and I have a car although she gets priority. Normally I would use public transport regularly although I've stayed off it for the last couple of months.

    Long term social distancing: Impact on public life & public transport?

    People are going to have to start using their own common sense, basically don't use public transport unless your journey is essential.

    Long term social distancing: Impact on public life & public transport?

    I assume the exclusive use bit applies to peak hours, obviously some people have to use public transport for shopping, medical appointments etc. I think the message is basically don't use public transport unless you have to, I know it goes against everything that we've been told in the past but...

    Nobody could have possibly forseen the current situation.

    Long term social distancing: Impact on public life & public transport?

    Nobody is saying it will be a bundle of laughs.......... but it's that or risk another wave of covid.
