Total lock down this weekend!?

[Derrick Hughes]

Lockdown may just mean stopping the idiots still going to the gym etc

I think it's fair and pretty sensible

Same as getting some order at supermarkets and food outlets

How can you sort Supermarkets out , home delivery cant cope now

 

[Mac10]

The thing is, if everybody bought just what they needed we'd all be fine. It's solely down to selfish t**ts hoarding that there are shortages.

 

[delilah]

if 10% lose there jobs that will be 3 million unemployed back to 1979 -1981

plus ca change

My wifes friends husband is in the police and he's been told total lock down up here buy the weekend, army out the lot, after schools that the last big thing, so maybe rubbish but l wonder.

Well You shouldnt be blabbing about it in public, nor should they ( official secrets act) .

I'm afraid you will now need to prepare for a knock on the door from the 'officials' .

All supermarkets should shut for 5 days over the weekend to restock, open for a couple of hours each morning just to allow anyone over 70 to get enough supply's of the basics to see them thru 2 weeks of self isolating.

A large scale lockdown isnt needed at this stage.

Roads are as busy as usual in the daytimes but come 6pm onwards they have been very quiet since Monday night so people clearly are cutting down on moving about as much as is practically possible.

I totally agree thou about Gym's/ Swimming pools etc, they should now be closed asap, also they should put a stop to mass groups of cyclists that are still clogging up the roads, no need for them to be out cycling!

Cyclist have too go out on there own now , group riding been stopped , and is that your big idea too stop Coronavirus. Ban Cycling
This is one of the biggest supermarkets in East Sussex at 6 this morning , no room to park . I only wanted some pills for my poorly doughter. I did not get out of my car . Found a quiet Boots Chemist

I also heard it would all change after Friday all closed and came from a good source

 

[czechmate]

No as I have to look after the kids

I used to do more tractor work with a kid by my side than without

Is this folks stripping the shelves after overnight stock replenishment?

 

[Scribus]

Is that in the UK??

Good luck if they think a large scale lock down will be adhered to/ possible to sustain for more than 2/3 weeks at most if they do it!

And have they really got enough people in the Army/Navy etc to patrol all the streets/ roads/ city's etc in the UK?? very unlikely!

The services are busy enough as it is.

 

[neilo]

No

Its what all the government experts are saying, was a report out this morning, take a read of it is my advice but basically they said that they expect a peak of cases if we have a full lockdown in May/ June time, cases will then be lower for a few weeks in July/ August and then start rising again in Sept, they said the Gov may be able to relax lockdown rules slightly for a few weeks in July/August then go back to full lockdown in Sept untill a vaccine is ready and which they dont expect untill at least this time next year and possible not for 18 months.

Is that the report you declared was complete nonsense and should be thrown in the bin when someone posted the link this morning?

Parkrun for example have cancelled all their runs so why should cycling be any different?

Imo its hysteria and the reaction of the government etc is way over the top for this virus, yes sadly some will die but it wont be anymore than 8/14000 people which is no more than normal flu death rates every year in the UK as long as the elderly/ people with ill health are protected. everyone else should be allowed to carry on with working etc to keep the country/ businesses running.

Yes, problem is they are all hitting the store at the same time . I looked through the window they were falling over themselves at the tills .

Jeez, just glad I live somewhere sensible. (Ireland)

A friend of my wife's husband is a police man and they have been told to be ready for this happening at the weekend.

Would your wife's husband not be you

 

[Chae1]

I heard supermarket delivery vans and lorries are now going to be exempt from speed limits.

Due to the large number of deliveries they've got to do with people staying at home.

Is that meant to be humorous, sarcastic, a joke or to be taken seriously? Maybe it's a test of comprehension skill?
Whichever way I look at it, it's rubbish.

Some would say that groups of cyclists should be banned anyway. At least you can safely overtake individual ones, or most of them anyway....?
