Pubs, restaurants, foreign holidays, domestic holidays and many leisure activities have been opened for large parts of the last year. Nobody has been locked in their house for over a year as you stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I mean, you're the one mocking those who may choose to go to the pub at midnight, after not being able to go for months and months as 'needing to seek help'. You don't know their situations, the motivations behind it. And then linking it to a mental health issue is incredibly poor form. If that's the hill you want to die on, fill your boots.

I strongly suspect they could wait another 12 hours until the pub was open at a normal time for a drink. They are just being stupid. I can, so I will. Maybe if they a really were locked in their houses for over a year I could understand it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queueing up like sardines in a tin, without masks, for god knows how long just so they can sit in a dark garden as the clock strikes midnight with a drink in their hand. Stupid. Just go today, I’m sure it would be far more enjoyable. If someone was that desperate they couldn’t wait 12 more hours they should probably seek help. They are. It's called the pub. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to be the first person to get on social media to all their pals with a picture of a fresh pint though! "I'm mental me, I'm such a character." if they wanted a bit of normality and socializing then fair enough but we all know nowadays, it's all about being seen to be the first. Attention seeking losers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Lets say as a scenario I finish work at 5. The pubs after months open at 6. It would be normal to assume some pubs might see some queuing. Now lets assume some people work outside of those hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's choosing to go to a pub at midnight and then there's staying in that pub when people are crammed into a tight space like sardines. Whether people like it or not there has been a pretty clear reason as to why we have had to take measures to prevent the virus spreading. I'd agree with you that some of these have seemed pretty excessive particularly over the last couple of months. If people don't have the common sense to take a bit of care for themselves then it gets harder to argue with the government's heavy handed approach. This is as much aimed at the pubs that are letting people cram themselves in (presumably against the new regulations anyway) as those choosing to put themselves in that situation. It's almost as if people have learnt nothing from this whole pandemic if we're being honest. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could vaccinate more people per day now, I wonder why they didn’t vaccinate more people per day before the current ‘shortage’. They did, they were doing 800,000 per day at times, who knows what their maximum capacity is, maybe 900,000 to 1m a day? I guess we'll find out in May. What is known for certain is that they are 5m doses short from India this month so that would be allowing 166,666 extra first doses a day this month if they had arrived. I doubt they will arrive next month either looking at the situation in India right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) Where is any justification? I simply stated that mocking people who choose to do that, calling them stupid or stating they have mental health problems is poor form. I can think of why people would want to do what they did, and being locked down for a year is one of those reasons. There are many others. You seem to be standing by the viewpoint that these people are mentally ill. Classy. Edited April 12, 2021 by StefanAVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s far from a “normal” thing any of them would do I expect. Just because the government didn’t specifically put a reopening time on the pub on the 12th it gets exploited.
