COVID - general discussion - Temp Locked

So where were these people escaping to? Unless they weren't from St.Pancras.

Like my daughter - escaping back to Newcastle - albeit from Kings X.

I’d just like to make the point that not all people living in a tier 3 or 4 have COVID, likewise living in a tier 1 or 2 doesn’t mean they don’t!

Such narrow thinking doesn’t help anyone.

Everyone should take responsibility for ensuring the safety of both themselves and others.

F, I’m afraid in a country that has suffered 67,000 deaths due to this pandemic to your ‘such narrow thinking doesn’t help anyone’ I’d say-oh yes it does it’s keeping a lot of us ‘narrow thinkers’ alive.

So if you lock down tier 1 and 2 areas and put a wall around them, then no one within would catch COVID, If only that was true.

my point was, the I’m alright Jack, sod the rest attitude won’t save you. Everyone has a part to play.

Pssst LLM-Brue said ‘stay at home unless it’s an emergency’ so yes that does include ‘medical staff, blue light service staff, carers & farmers are generally at home(on the farm)🤷🏻‍♂️. Happy to help👍🏻

It isn’t possible the wall idea☹️. ‘Sod you Jack I’m alright’ is & will save you👍🏻. It is saving me. Everyone does have a part to play-true, ‘people must stay at home’ that’s Govt advice & i’m following it.

Very true, I just hope that those who provide establishments where people can "escape to" close down for the foreseeable future and help to stop the spread of the virus. One thing you can be sure of the Police are unable to stop it - neither the will nor the way.

Worth bearing in mind that many of the people that use St Pancras live within commuting distance of London so they won't all be long distance travellers and could just be going back to their normal homes. Much of the route north to Bedford will be in tier four. Also anyone who regularly uses London stations knows they often don't open the platforms until the train is there which causes the scenes you see on the television. Had those people been spaced out on the platform it would not have looked so bad. I am not suggesting that many might have been travelling unnecessarily but you also have to consider the wider picture.
