Corona Virus

[StanSP]

Can only leave for 

 

Shopping

1 form of exercise - run, walk, cycle alone or members of household

Medical need

Travelling to & from work where absolutely necessary

[StanSP]

Police have powers to enforce through fines if not complied with.

 

Gatherings no more than 2 IF current measures aren't followed. Weddings, baptims, places of worship to be shut as well if measures not followed.

Crikey.

That’s it for 3 weeks then 

[Dahnsouff]

Was always going to be this way.

[bovril]

Ffs. If people hadn't been total dicks in supermarkets and parks at the weekend this may not have been needed.

Last one for the road?

[StanSP]

3 weeks then reviewed after that.

 

I'd describe it as a partial lockdown given the consequences should measures not be followed.

[Leicester_Loyal]

They aren't forcing businesses to close though? So companies are just going to go on as normal, unless the company itself decides otherwise.

This is a really ****ing weird episode of Black Mirror.

This is what I understood the rules to be beforehand.

Yeah I don't think much has changed other than the police being able to fine you.

[Wymsey]

How long will pubs etc be closed for - presumably it's at least three weeks?

[Guest Harrydc]

Will takeaways still open??? 

[Sir Shep]

Gosh, even though it was inevitable it was still awful hearing it. 

[EastAnglianFox]

So many people are going to get around this so so easily surely. 

 

Spotted out all you gotta say is your off shopping or having your excerise for the day

 

I'm a cold hearted fvcker at times but for some reason watching that I felt myself getting very emotional

So all that lot on the tubes , will still be on the tubes because they’re on the way to work, but aren’t allowed to be gathered in groups of more than 2. That makes sense.

[Strokes]

My works in Oxford, can I still go or not?

[Pliskin]

A very dark day for Britain. A very dark day indeed.

[RowlattsFox]

Interesting how they will police this. It's more of a reinforcement of what rules are supposed to be anyway. Taking away non essential shops as temptation to go out.

I’d like to see where he will find the police to enforce this legislation.... they’re currently rushed off their feet trying to deal with everything else.

[Leicester_Loyal]

This seems ridiculous to me, I don't understand. So normal workers are still going to go to work, mingle and allow the spread of CV. The reduction of trains, tubes and buses, will mean that everyone is still packed onto them because the people using them will be going to work.

 

The only difference is a fine and the stopping of large gatherings.

 

I really thought we'd get a more strict lockdown than that, I've got to be honest.

 

EDIT: Or is it only key workers now that are allowed to go? I'm very confused. It says essential work.

Only if you can’t work from home 

[Pliskin]

And use home delivery? You can get a ****ing slot until mid April? What am I meant to do until then? ****ing graze in my back garden?
