The latest slogan in the fight against coronavirus
Words fail me.

A dumb down catchy slogan on one hand. Increasingly complicated and semi unfathomable rules on another

Are you in one? I would enjoy it while you can.

Just phoned up a few mates for a trip down the pub, ‘Mathew Hancock’, with a phone number that has a surprising amount of consecutive digits, will be enjoying a beer or two tonight after this crappy news day.

When large chunks of the population appear to be acting like dicks, what do you expect?

I only head to the supermarket once a week (for us and the neighbours). It's mostly been fine and good humoured (the first few weeks during panic buying being the trickiest - not a govt issue. People being dicks again).

In the last two weeks I've noticed a big uptick in people not wearing masks, but also ignoring social distancing. One assumes they care the same about the other hygiene measures etc too. All of them, bar none, have been sub-30. Most late teens/early 20s I suspect.

I'm not a fan of some of the rules - mask wearing being a key one. But equally there's no real reason to be a dick about it. Just don't go to the shops if you're so anti it (as I don't, save once per week). House parties, ignoring social distancing, taking the piss generally etc and then great amounts of shock and horror that the evil govt up the ante on measures.

Young people may not get impacted with the virus as much (look at which groups are growing fastest in terms of cases). But those young people intermingle with people it does. A little, and only a little, consideration of that and it's quite likely the spikes wouldn't have happened and the additional measures wouldn't be necessary. We bring this on ourselves.

Do I think a slogan like this will change anything? Not really. The people who can't be arsed listening now won't pay it any attention. It's not intended for them. The other measures are what are intended for them.

This government has made plenty of mistakes during the pandemic, but there are some things that I struggle pinning on them. And this is one.

They had to revert back to 3 word slogans as seemingly a lot of folk were too thick to understand the previous advice. The amount of times I heard "we need clarity and clear information," it's all too confusing". Well there you have it retards.

That sounds like a defence, it's not, Slogan-is-st.

Precisely the reason me and the missus went for a drink this evening - wouldn't usually midweek, but I'm not optimistic...
