Coronavirus lockdown and exercising outdoors

[PygaSchmyga]

You don't get it do you?

Not living in fear and being irresponsible is two different things.

Being irresponsible leads to clinics and business closing down until they can sort out disinfection and isolation/testing.

 

ChrisF has sites that were open, but are now closed, that is bleeding money. That is the exact opposite as to want when you tell people to open their business again. Open it, but be responsible.

 

Exercising in groups and without masks is stupid and irresponsible. What if someone in that group is asymptomatic?

Braaiing with your mate (as mentioned above) is stupid and irresponsible. What if someone at that braai is asymptomatic?

Its equally irresponsible to blindly follow draconian instructions without stopping to consider and understand whether they are sound and rational.  Well done to Trevor Manuel for critically considering the SA lockdown, and calling it for what it is - NOT RATIONAL.  Unfortunately the sheeple like many of the commentators here have no ability to think for themselves, and feel the need to blindly obey foolhardy nonsense, and worse, feel the need to police others for also not stupidly obeying these obtuse laws.

I have dinner with my wife every night. The next day we go out and interact with hundreds of people at work. Is this any different?

I really don't see how it is much different.  I'd argue what my friend and I did was in fact very low risk in comparison to many other "legal" activities.  And it came after 2 months of very little social contact.  Hardly an every day thing what we did.  Perhaps people are upset that I was brazen about admitting it.

Is Trevor wondering around at night going to braais?

[PygaSchmyga]

Why hide behind the herd? If it's your view...state it as such?

 

But before you do that perhaps ask for circumstances of the braai?

 

And even before that, question yourself whether you have transgressed any regulations lately? And if so, whether you had conducted your own risk assessment first to justify your decision?

 

 

Seriously?  lockdown sure be getting to some people, thats for sure.  go for a bike ride, maybe try 5,01km for that rush of reckless craziness!

Is my aunty actually my uncle?  I guess we'll never know.  At least Trevor can think for himself, unlike many around here

So what do you think my point was?

haha admittedly I had had a couple of glasses of red wine. But it's true I don't feel ashamed or whatever I am supposed to feel about it.

 

because you probably can't define ethics

I think we know.

 

There's a difference between calling out childish rules, and acting like a child.

judge much?

[buchanan]

because you probably can't define ethics

And I am sure you can.

[Skubarra]

I think you guys have things a bit out of proportion.

 

You chose to brag on a Corona thread how you break the rules and taunt the "suckers" who keep to it, what kind of response were you hoping for?

[dave303e]

And I am sure you can.

 

Had it as a course at university, I can lend you the text book?

 

Maybe read about patient 31 South Korea before your next braai

[ChrisF]

Oh please, listen to your self righteous bolloks.   We have been on LD for 8 weeks now. Do you plan on hiding in your house forever??  Keep your disgust and judgement to yourself pal, if you want to live in fear thats your business but the fear mongering claptrap is over.  People need to get out and get back to work unless you feel you in the high risk category .  This virus is going to infect us all within the next 2-3 months and all your fear mongering will not change that fact.  You cannot hide forever.  

 

Now why would I be refering to sites halting if I was still on lock-down ?

 

useless saying anything more ... you have long gone made up your mind .....

Every response is welcome. As are my counter responses.

Well done for making another thread about you.
