Agreed. I would say ST66 made the right decision IMO. Regardless of how many people are in each night it really shouldn’t be happening with everything that’s been said to not do.

With so many deaths, funerals were being held in the evenings in order to fit them all in. The government of the day took no emergency measures though and life went on pretty much as normal. Football for example continued as scheduled despite a few deaths amongst the players. It was left to the newspapers to issue advice on how to avoid the virus spreading. Take a less-crowded train or bus, they suggested, cough into a handkerchief, isolate the already sick, give up shaking hands for the present and give up kissing forever.

So basically pretty much what was advised for the last few weeks or so yet a lot of people took no notice of. I’m guessing people listened more or there could have been worse.

Might be for the best - how long before BS finally see the logic?

with 422 deaths in UK I am wondering if we would see the sort of explosion of cases and deaths like Italy has
