You can count on the English to do the right thing after they've exhausted all other options.
He said you're allowed out to go to work but only if it's absolutely necessary. You really should be working from home where possible.
He did say we can travel to and from work. How can they enforce that??
Yes and you should get more than you could consume in 10 lifetimes.
Will you be able to drive around? My gf lives alone and I also live alone, I'm wondering if it'd be ok for her to drive to visit me :s
The most important question on everyone's mind right now is obviously; will my new fridge freezer arrive on Saturday to replace the one that broke yesterday?
I certainly think that's the approach the government of the country I live in is taking.
I'm sure they will be, they're open here in Italy on a more restricted basis.
Interestingly the sale of alcohol will likely be considered an essential service because of the serious medical issues that would occur when alcoholics stop drinking suddenly.
Yeah still a big loophole where common sense is needed.
No, he was clear about this, don't visit family from other houses. Same with friends and obviously partners.
Police now have the power to intervene
Obviously these measures will be difficult to enforce but semi-compliance with strict measures will have a hell of a lot more impact than semi-compliance with vague advice.
What's essential work?
I haven't been provided for in the measures, I need to work.

Watch the tube still be as busy as normal tomorrow.
Yeah, my vet here in Toronto will meet you at the door, take your pet and bring them out when they're done.
Won't be seeing my SO for a month now. Feel fantastic.
I can't help feel that the exercise element is going to be the one most abused, then we'll move to a completely full lockdown like Italy/Spain.
I'm assuming it's work that you can't possibly do at home?
Nuclear bombs have a larger spread than 2 meters. I'm telling you; Boris Law.
Stay at home basically, unless you're a key worker.
feck sake haven't had a haircut in a month.
The tube is less busy. The reason you have seen pictures of more crowded trains is because the service has been significantly reduced, with trains maybe one every 15 minutes on some branch lines. The service has also been hit because staff have fallen ill.
Churchill had his "fight them on the beaches" speech
Boris had his "you are a bunch of twats that can't listen so have forced me to do this" speech
Boris had his "you are a bunch of twats that can't listen so have forced me to do this" speech
So basically, people still crowding the tubes going to work. Yeah, real lockdown.
A lot of work isn’t possible from home and employers are still asking people to come in. There’s been no assurances for the self employed so they’ll still be out as weve seen today with the packed trains etc.
He said that your gf can visit us.FrantikChicken said:
I agree with the sentiment, it's an important step to take. The language used was still too friendly in my opinion. Some folk need it painted in black and white in order not to be twats.
A fine if you are caught in groups bigger than 2 that are not in your household.
It might be less busy but all it takes is 1 person on that tube to be a carrier and they'll all get it.
That could mean thousands of extra infected people. It sucks but all tubes should be closed.
Was wondering why it was 3 weeks instead of 2 or a month. Three weeks today is Easter Monday so makes sense to have a look at the figures then.
Again.
Some of the medical supplies that South Carolina was sent by the federal government from the national stockpile were fecking expired(I laugh so I don’t punch something)
Still sounds a bit wishy-washy, particularly the one exercise a day part. How are they going to keep tabs on that? Unless you get stopped by the same copper in the same day or something.
Until they've got the military patrolling the street, people are still going to just go on as normal.

Yip.
I've got no issue staying in but happy I can take a walk and fortunate that I back onto country so can go for an hour walk and doubt I'll see 3-4 people. Anyone I see I walk across the road from.
The rest of it though, I couldn't care how much we're being asked to give up (and I'd give up walks if asked to). The alternative is peoples lives.... it's really not a tough ask.
The only thing I wish Boris had done was take a tougher line on people who abuse it. Hopefully mandatory fine
My birthday is Easter monday. Hopefully we can all celebrate!
