Were you tested for it?Orient Punxx wrote: ↑Fri Apr 17, 2020 8:56 am Government doesn’t really need a plan.
Given we’re behind other countries any plan can be based on their experiences of coming out of lockdown.
My wife and I were totally flippant about getting “it” at the outset.
Both of us have had it since and the Wife is back working in the local hospital.
Our symptoms were relatively mild although for me I exhibited for over 2 weeks.
Now we know how deadly this thing is - if we weren’t certain that we’d had I would be sh*tting myself about getting it.
It would help if the British public weren't acting like utter pricks and actually followed the lockdown guidelines correctly.o-no wrote: ↑Fri Apr 17, 2020 7:31 am There are three possibilities I can think of

3) They want to wait to see what other countries do first
Aah, it's our fault.Millennial Snowflake wrote: ↑Fri Apr 17, 2020 10:04 amIt would help if the British public weren't acting like utter pricks and actually followed the lockdown guidelines correctly.o-no wrote: ↑Fri Apr 17, 2020 7:31 am There are three possibilities I can think of

The vast, vast majority of people are adhering to the guidance. It's offensive, as well as wrong, to suggest otherwise.
Most of our bin men ( apparently in my area their down a couple of teams as seven of them have gone down with it ) have been thanked and my missus certainly thanks the super markets. I wouldn't want to work in one at the moment and they seem to be doing well in coping from what she tells me.Real Al wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 8:00 pmObviously people are thanking the NHS, but I've seen that people are also leaving notes of appreciation out for binmen etc. Hopefully your wife is getting people thanking her too, but you can certainly tell her thank you from me.Southcoastsoftee wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 5:15 pm I wish it all was a dream/nightmare, it scary alright, I’ve been laid off and my wife work in a supermarket on checkouts, it’s doing her in mentally, Christ I wish it was over right now, but I guess we will all just have to hang in there as best we can.
I've been saying to friends that it feels like we're living in the Twilight Zone. It's like we've gone into some sort of parallel universe. It's hard to believe what's going on .greyhound wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 5:11 pm sitting hear just wondering is this just a dream

embarrassed to say its worrying to say the least not just for me and
the wife and all the family as well. god knows what it must be like for family's
with love ones who have to work. this is like a horror story.
The lockdown has been in place for 3 and a half weeks mate. Hardly immediateApple Wumble wrote: ↑Fri Apr 17, 2020 10:34 am I find it really interesting that there's an expectation that such a HUGE change is adhered to IMMEDIATELY by EVERYONE!
If an underground line is on strike for one day, loads of people struggle to adjust to either getting up earlier, or taking another route. Change is tough, even on a small scale.
All of a sudden almost all of our liberties are taken away. Everyone is now expected to do something that none of us have EVER done, for a single day, in our life times. A complete change to routine and basic freedoms.
I think as a nation we've done extremely well which such a huge ask.
I am all for the 'lockdown' at the moment (should have been earlier, obviously). But the people bleating on about people not following it, or saying that anyone sun bathing should be arrest or shot simply have no real understanding on how dramatic this is and how bad humans are with change.
The lockdown was enforced with immediate effect and people were expected to change their habits with immediate effect.Millennial Snowflake wrote: ↑Fri Apr 17, 2020 11:51 amThe lockdown has been in place for 3 and a half weeks mate.

Doesn’t matter if it’s a minority, the numbers are still significant enough for it to put people’s lives at risk, such is the contagiousness of the virus.Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Fri Apr 17, 2020 11:58 amThe lockdown was enforced with immediate effect and people were expected to change their habits with immediate effect.Millennial Snowflake wrote: ↑Fri Apr 17, 2020 11:51 amThe lockdown has been in place for 3 and a half weeks mate.

Again, 3 weeks in and i don't see many people breaking it. There's always gonna be some idiots but again, the point still stands. 3 and a half weeks to adapt to something that none of us have had to do in 30, 40, 50 years of our lives is an incredibly short amount of time.
