I am sick to death of reading & hearing on the news that "Corona virus has cost business X amount".
The virus it's self has done no such thing, it's the governments handling of the virus, closing down the economy for the past 3 months, that has cost businesses & wrecked the economy.
Now they want to quarantine international travellers for 14 days, long after the horse has bolted, effectively killing off the travel industry.
It's pathetic, the level of panic, chaos & economic damage this government have caused by their actions.
I went out for a drive the other day & almost nowhere was open, people were having to queue around a car park standing metres apart, some complete with their face masks, just for the privilege of entering Tesco.
There was a KFC open nearby where a long queue of cars were idling for presumably hours at a time, just to be served some greasy chicken via a window.
I then drove to a local beauty spot where every man & his dog seemed to have congregated, since there is b....r all else to do, the car park was full, the bins overflowing & the public toilets were closed.
When restaurants & pubs finally open they will no doubt have to adhere to the ridiculous social distancing measures, meaning hand sanitiser at every table, no cash payments, patrons having to stand metres apart, limits on how many people can enter the establishment at any one time, which will probably mean long queues outside, provided people aren't too scared to leave their houses in the first place.
Then there's the problem with schools, parents are too afraid to send their crotch goblins back until there's a vaccine. So there's several million people who can't return to work because they have to stay home & care for the little shits.
Gymnasiums ,how on earth will you be able to work out? You'll have to sanitise every piece of equipment you touch. Doing drop sets of free weights would take about 5 hours.
Swimming pools, why the hell are they closed anyway?
I'm pretty sure the virus doesn't survive inside a giant bath of chlorine.
Anyway, rant almost over, we'll be experiencing the ramifications of this governments botched handling of the virus for years to come.
I maintain that what the government should have done was impose no restrictions on the public & business & just let nature run it's course for the unlucky ones.
