Guess the CORVID 19 total shutdown date for the UK

[KevinJH]

If this does all kick in - and all the signs are becoming apparent (and needed imho) - I wonder how long it'll be before Liberty and their like will start kicking up a fuss ?

 

[MK Shrimper]

Apparantly my sister has it.

Boris Johnson is acting like a cheerleader for Liberty right now

 

[Barling Magna]

Johnson is proving a bit of an embarrassment as a PM. We need proper leadership at this difficult time. The expressions on the faces of his scientific and medical advisers say it all. He needs to grow some and trurn his "advice" into instruction, especially in London. The fact that he thought we can turn the tide in 12 weeks has been given the lie by the Strategic Advisory Group for Emergencies stating today that the current restrictions should continue for a year with occasional pauses

BREAKINGPM: Cafes, pubs and bars to close
Mr Johnson says the government is strengething the measures announced earlier this week.
"We are telling cafes, pubs, bars and restaurants to close tonight as soon as they reasonably can and not reopen tomorrow."
Places like nightclubs, cinemas and gyms will also follow suit.

 

[Barling Magna]

Casinos and leisure centres as well apparently.

 

[ChicagoShrimper]

March 27th initially for 6 weeks but then extended to 12.

I'm sure some of the 'experts' on the Virus update earlier, stated that the '2 metre distancing' maybe required till at least the end of the year?.
In that case every Premier & EFL football match would have to be played behind closed doors?.

How does playing behind closed doors keep the players a minimum 2m part during the game?..

Exactly, & all being in he changing room together?. Maybe they will get changed in the car park, & be told not to 'man mark'!.

Which is why we may not see any more sport this year.

We can quite easily have three or four of us in the office with the doors locked and still carry out our business. Even if it's quiet both I and the lettings admin teams have **** loads of work we can do. We can make our own drinks and be a good 3m apart from each other. Please just let us carry on working.

 

[The General]

Monday week seems too far away, so I will go from Sat 28th...

 

[Leigh_Seasider]

The way the public are acting I’m expecting Govt action and further restrictions by latest tomorrow. People are using this as an excuse to take time off work and have a jolly and are oblivious to the seriousness of it.

Very true, I have some hefty rows with family about mum's day visiting and today's newspaper headlines have come just in time to support my stance.
I am being very selfish in this, I DO NOT WANT TO GET THE VIRUS. IT SCARES ME ****LESS, and I don't understand how people are carrying on; this is serious stuff and an unseen enemy, in our midst is terrifying when, as an individual I can only do so much and hope others do the same BUT keep seeing legions not doing basics.
March 29, lockdown.

 

[Ex-Member1]

So many people i total denial that this is REALLY SERIOUS. It will take many more deaths to convince everyone that this is world changing. It isn't going away any time soon unfortunately. Science is the only answer IMHO.

 

[SheldonW65]

Tonight 6pm for an initial 2 weeks, probably extended to 4 weeks.

The fear among my colleagues is heightening as we are hearing of more hospital staff contracting the virus.
Like yourself I too am scared of getting it and just wish some people would not be so flippant about it.
We have more reported at this time span than Italy did in the same time period and look at them now!
Please stay safe MG ?

 

[ms brush]

I am very worried for the elderly, because if reports from Italy are true, they are having to decide who gets a ventilator, essentially this means who lives or dies... Terrifying!

This is so far beyond politics, this is hitting us at the heart of everything we hold dear and wish to preserve, which is likely why we have mass panic in the shops and mass denial. Our way of life, our culture, our economy and our liberty is under attack, which is horrific. The government can't lock down everything at once, because people need time to adjust. It is coming down the track though, and very quickly. When it does, it will be months not weeks. Our lives will be very different on the other side of this, just as it was after the two world wars.

This situation is unprecedented, so the government won't get it completely right, and people will suffer. But, as in football, it's easy to criticize from the touchline...
