Even in medieval times, during pandemics Muslems often ignored quarantine restrictions.  One of the tenants of Islam is "Ensha Allah". basically: "God's will."   If it's God's will you are going to get sick and die, then nothing you do will prevent it.  If thousands are dying in a city, then it must be God's punishment. 

I've never expected anything from god, and he's never let me down.

I read yesterday that all had reported and I said Then I didn’t believe it and it seems I was right.

Immigration say they are doing all they can

This is true; they are doing all they can to make life as difficult and awkward as they can. 

I’m usually in bed by 9, the problem is I have to get up at 11 to go home.

What a great idea - give the police more work in a time of crisis. Get over it - soon you'll be struggling to buy your alcoholic fix.

How's that? I don't drink, but believe in the rights of others to do so, responsibly.

Based on your suggestions,  yes, I believe you are.

 

Why should the police, in the middle of a crisis, make extra work for themselves.

 

Ban it outright and be done with it. Sorry, that prospect probably scares you to death.

Because the job of the police is to police. But that's over your head. Oh, and I don't drink, but I do believe in fairness.

And it can be done:

We're in the middle of a crisis, yet you expect the police force to decide on who can drink and who shouldn't. You're the king of "stupid comments".

That's not what I said. Lol. The police can stop social drinkers gathering. After all, they can't be difficult to see or hear. Blimey it's not rocket science. And I'm the stupid one?

Responsible drinkers can be considered collateral damage.

What a stupid comment.

And just how do you suppose that they can possibly introduce such a 2 tier system?

I think it's called policing, and being responsible, whilst leaving stores open. Or something similar. It's working elsewhere.

It might stop people from sitting around in groups drinking and sharing glasses .

Fine. Then prevent people from doing just that and stop penalising responsible drinkers who are having a quiet one at home.

We are all missing the big picture, as we are not being told the truth but a pack of lies.  If the numbers are as low as they say, why the near total shutdown, and limited curfew.......please tell us

I completely agree. When I see figures of around 100 new cases/day, out of 60 million people, I’ll be honest and say I don’t take it too seriously. If the figures were 1,000s with 100s dying each day I’d think differently. If that sounds irresponsible so be it. But I don’t think of it in that way.
