Not an option right now.
My gf is trying to find out with her company what's going on too, and so far silence. They are all talking about still travelling in.
This is fecking shambolic and we've known for weeks this was coming, so why is it still so up in the air?
Expect to see a shortage of hair clippers in the shops. And wigs.
My sis is meant to be moving house this weekend? How’s she going to get round that? Assume chances of her renting a moving van are slim?
Takeaways and food delivery services are considered essential I believe, so would remain open
Relax no one is going to see it.
Our prez always looks like he's about to break out in tears during briefs about the virus. He's a realistic guy.
I'm not really sure how much benefit you'd get from closing all borders when the virus is already spreading through the population like wildfire. It's not like huge numbers will be travelling anyway.
Have Italy suspended all flights? They certainly didn't when they first went into "lockdown" so it's not particularly surprising if the UK doesn't either. I suspect it sounds like a more effective measure than it actually is at this point.
Plus you also have a land border with Ireland which is rather tricky to close off.
We're in exactly the same position. Brought everything forward by a couple of days. Very, very stressful.
Get her moved in tonight
I'm somewhat relieved tbh. Removes any ambiguity. You can go and buy food or collect medicine, go for a short walk or run and you can go to work if you have to. That's it. No excuses from people now to start gathering in their hordes at parks, beach etc sharing a chippy together and having a family/friends picnic otherwise police will have the right to intervene.
They’ve had the keys to their new place, but will struggle to get their furniture from their rental to their new house!
Hopefully ireland does the same although the place was a ghostland today when i went out shopping for food. Aldi was practically empty.
They can't now. It all stops tomorrow.
I wish the announcement was made more like this:
Surely its only key workers though?
Can i visit my GF in Northern Ireland now?
Whats the chances of picking up this virus from a pizza take away? I am afraid someone infected will breathe on the pizza and then pass it on to me when i eat the pizza. Should i just cook my own food at home?
Yeah true... Some risks are worth it...
But be interesting as I think the first few days will be complete confusion. People pushing it to see and enforcement in some cases over stepping or doing nothing in others. Will take a week before people really get to grips with it I feel/click it's for the greater good
Thanks mate, that's put my mind at ease.
Yeah, watching the difference between our presidents statement and UK's one.
It was funny, like they need to be spoken to like little children over there.Yep, only essential workers allowed to travel to work or those who can't work from home
Just avoid the 12" Covid special with free Corona beer
I would personally, fast food is bad enough but with the added potential of being infected it's too much of a risk.
I'm looking now, it seems that it won't be. Her bosses are saying they are still open as they can work 2m apart.
Currently it looks like building sites will still be open too.
And the government site currently says still travel to and from work if you can't possibly work from home, but feck knows if that's updated yet...
Not enough officers to do that and daily business
We should've been told what the punishment will be and how it will be enforced. Are police going to patrol the streets and stop the odd car/walker?
Yeah, watching the difference between our presidents statement and UK's one.
If Trump ends the distancing he will feck the USA for a good time .
It's only those who can't work from home I think. That and essential workers.
I have no idea why these measures weren't put in place weeks ago. The faffing around has been ridiculous. We all knew it was coming to this anyway. It would've been nice if the government were proactive.
Electronics shops have been closed.
We are also in lockdown starting from today for 1 week but it will get extended without a doubt. First two patients popped up todayYeah, watching the difference between our presidents statement and UK's one.
That's what I'm saying. Already people in here are saying all but essential, there's so much confusion right now.
So basically, for example, builders will still be going in.
I'm curious, i cycle regularly and even i'm confused as to what constitutes once per day....a 6hr bike ride? So many loopholes i can find already.
Apparently he’s quite vulnerable. When his neighbour kicked the shit out of him a few years ago they had to remove some of his lung. You just hate to see it, he’s such a positive force in American politics.
These lot are trying to outcnut each other.
That's the problem, it's too vague. My friend works for British Steel and has no idea wheter it applies to him or not.
