Not ideal but at least I am young, fit and able to mount such a trek. I would be concerned for older people or maybe families without a car that would have to drag the entire family for the test etc.

Hoping they all pull through Are there any stats on the ages/ underlying conditions of those unfortunate enough to find themselves in icu?

It’s a clear sign of why it’s much better to have people socialise in controlled, distanced environments such as pubs and restaurants rather than have them meet privately at home or on the streets with no measures in place. I can only imagine how much mixing will happen next month if we are in level 3.5 or higher. It’s obvious at this point that a lot of people are no longer willing to play ball with the restrictions. The morale is only going to get weaker as time goes on because the fear of the virus is gone. It’s much better to have people meet in controlled environments with rules, regulations and accountability from those running the business than have situations like these but the government have their heads in the sand. If they don’t open pubs and restaurants next month more of this will happen. If people are so desperate for human contact and socialisation that they are willing to stand outdoors on a bleak November night in the rain, wind, and cold, that’s pretty indicative of their overall feelings about these restrictions and how this lockdown isn’t working and was never the answer. I’m thinking back into 3/4 weeks into lockdown #1 and scenes like tonight would have been impossible to fathom, and that’s because public support and compliance is at least half of what it was last time around.

I still think it’s safer to meet in a controlled distanced environments than to have god knows how many people mixing in close proximity in private homes and on the streets. What we can see tonight is only a taster of what’s to come next month if restrictions are still in place. It has proved that people are going to do as they please regardless and that a large amount of socket are simply not complying with this lockdown. And if they aren’t complying now, any extensions or conditions added month will likely be ignored too. They’ve lost the public buy in.
