Will be interesting to see what impact it has initially. If it doesn't work they'll have to think again but certainly worth a try at doing something differently I think.

Except for Tucker Carlson, the other Fox reporters have been absolutely horrible in reporting this pandemic. They're terrible always, but this time they have caused so much damage.
They dont have to pay you under dependents leave though. So did boris actually say you will get full pay? Or what, because i missed the announcement and cant see anything on it.
Too easy.
I think mental health will take a decline over the next few months, by which I mean people will be less sane than they were.
Brother in law just drove past like 50 'tanks' (assuming he means personnel vehciles) heading london direction.
Could be an unrelated event and i got told by the wife so i take no responsibility for this statement
I just past several near Harrogate and mentioned it to my mate . His mate saw 15 or so on the A1 today . Makes sense to mobilise army for when police are depleted .
Just landed back in Tampa from Colorado a few hours ago. 59 people on a 175 seat airliner was an interesting experience to say the least. Also was able to get on with preboarding in the second row and no one directly behind me. I like my chances of survival for this.
I fully expect parents to be out and about with their kids shopping now the schools are closed.
Dependents leave is paid in my profession. I assumed it was everywhere? You can take unpaid leave but that's different.
I think she's right - what else has affected every single citizen to this extent?not sure if serious Angie.
It is obviously right. You either get hundreds of thousands of dead people and a destroyed economy, or a destroyed economy at the end of it. I think it might easily be the biggest recession since the Great Depression. If we have to stay mostly at home for 18 months, the economy is gonna fall like a rock.
"Difference"
Unfortunate wording
I'm not a big fan of her addresses to the nation. She always seems like she's reading from a fairy tale book. Very weird style of narration and intonation that makes her sound insincere even though I'm sure she isn't.
After speaking to a close friend in food supply chain logistics, I really wouldn't bank on that. Obviously, governments would have to just abandon lockdowns come what may if food supply was on the point of collapse.
They're a bunch of sociopaths. The amount of cognitive dissonance that must be going through their heads in the name of tribal royalty to their party must be incredible.
Lockdowns do not concern goods as far as I know.
I don't disagree but as metaphors go it's an interesting choice for a German Chancellor.
Just looked it up. Sounds like fun.
They do not, but they do rely on people turning up for work. The supply chain is more fragile than most people realise, apparently.
The supply is there. We need people to stop being cnuts and we need to remove all restrictions on deliveries if these are even still in place. Hire more drivers if needed.
It is. Rather informative for this sort of thing as well.
I’m pretty sure at this stage that the Chinese took one of the simulations and created it in real life.
It was for things that I eat every single day as a part of my diet, but that I knew were likely going to run out (like nuts, raisins, salt-your-own crisps, peanut butter, etc).
I've been avoiding panic buying of random shit precisely for the reasons you've spelled out. I didn't go near any of the stuff most people are hoarding (not that there's any left even if I wanted some pasta or rice).
I'm still hoping/expecting to go out every few days for skimmed milk, eggs, cottage cheese and bread.
Although I am still young and healthy, the issue I have is that I live alone and have no family still alive. If I were to become ill, I'd have to rely on myself for food and drink. if I were unable to physically get out of bed, I'd pretty much be fecked. And if I were too unwell to go out shopping, I'd be equally in trouble.
So I may not be vulnerable from an age point-of-view, but I am vulnerable from a support network point-of-view. Having a few packets of nuts, raisins or crisps by my bedside is about protecting myself rather than trying to get one over everybody else.
For what it's worth, I've also timed it so that I've been eating loads of takeaways the last couple of weeks. Now I'm going to start dieting for the next couple of weeks (eating minimal amounts of food). Then I'll go back to normal. Hopefully that'll be enough to get me through.
Nigeria has 5 new cases in a week. All are travellers from Europe. The country is run by mugs.
Beautiful
It's great. Madagascar and Greenland are a bitch to infect though.
If there is a lockdown in the UK would that prevent all transport? I would need to travel across the country back from university.
Never said you were wrong, I said it was crazy. You also shit talked about lazy teachers which was kind of my main point dude.
I looked at some data and it did become flat and daily deaths did lower but today with 4200 cases and 457 deaths it's a jump from the recent rate of around 3500 cases and 350 death per day.

Critical people have increased again. Was 1800, then 2060 and now 2257
Tricky alright.
Wish you the best and everyone else.
Hope this can be controlled sooner rather than later.
Maybe she should expand on it a bit fuhrer.
@Nou_Camp99 I'm just annoyed because none of the shops had any Freddos left. Just replace all the words I put with cat memes.
And Western leaders don't? Their response to the virus has been incredibly bad. Repeated the same mistakes over and over again.
Other countries (FSU) did things efficiently and started early, resulting in much lower numbers.
You can say the same for the Europeans too.
I sieg heil stay out of this.
