Spot on. The statement on the AT facebook page is just embarrassing. Yes its rubbish we can't go fishing, especially as this time of year the lakes are quiet, but bigger picture here. The NHS is in a bit of a frightening place. Lets just all sit tight, get people vaccinated and look forward to spring.

Stay at home. Yep that's clear.
Protect the NHS. Yep that needs to be done, clear.
Save lives. No argument, clear.
Full lock down = NO FISHING.
The guidance which will be law by Wednesday is perfectly clear to anyone who is not a soft, spoilt, entitled, selfish and immature numpty.

Braders - you're so wrong on this. My missus is a teacher - and her school (and all the other affiliated schools) have moved heaven and earth to keep the kids in bubbles and minimise risk.
My missus contracted Covid in November due to a parent sending their kid to school whilst the parent and other sibblings had symptoms. Me and my daughters then caught it off my wife. It's the parents letting their kids/households mix after the school bell that you might want to think about. It's not the schools or teachers - they've done everything possible to mitigate risk.

. . .agree that the problem needs to be solved; however not everyone believes in the current way it's being handled.
Most tax paying, law abiding citizens will trust in what they're being told and do as they're told until they're told to do something else . . .
The 'magic bullet' vaccine is NOT going to remove Covid - this is with us indefinitely now, so blanket banning everything and everyone seems to be a bit of a draconian measure. This is not SARS/EBOLA - the death rates are no different to that of annual flu ffs!
Have a look here and read the declaration - https://gbdeclaration.org/
Seems to me to be a sensible route forward - never mind fishing; this whole debacle is polarizing society, damaging livelihoods and ruining the future for our kids who will be footing the bill . . .

to be fair to Braders in this instance it was a cheeky dig at me (he knows i'm a teacher) as a bit of a laugh.

the 'science' shows that the 11-16 age group is the most infectious (with lots of asymptomatic)
the reason schools are less 'hotspot' is because of the very tight restrictions and guidelines. rooms regularly cleaned and sanitised, one way systems to avoid face to face contact. teachers and students in bubbles / 2 m distanced, people wearing masks as an overwhelming majority, ventilated rooms (windows open!) etc. staggered start / end to the day and staggered break / lunchtimes etc.
there'll always be a few kids flouting the rules but I have to say that at my place they have mostly been excellent in accepting changes to routines.
although I have lost count of the times I have said 'can you please put your mask on?' as a gentle reminder in the corridors....

. . .While anyone can get infected, there is more than a thousand-fold difference in Covid 19 mortality between the oldest and youngest. Children have a lower mortality from Covid 19 than from the annual influenza. For people under 70, the infection survival rate is 99.95%. We now have good evidence on the relative risk posed by the incidence of chronic conditions, so we know that among common conditions age is the single most important risk factor. . . .

We all know that....but when was the last time flu, ebola etc filled up almost every ICU bed in the country so other illnesses could not be treated......
