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

Nah - it was always coming buddy.

Then it should've come last week. I don't really see how that one week makes people more psychologically ready.

So building sites will remain open? One of the easiest places to spread the thing!!

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? 

You can still go shopping for food...

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.

Only key workers

Apart from places that sell food or medicine everywhere else has to close 

[Kopfkino]

So what those of us that have been paying attention have been doing for the last couple of weeks?

Yeah from Friday. 

There isn't much more they can do. This is essentially 'lock down' 

 

This is as far as most of Europe is at the minute.

As someone who struggles massively with claustrophobia this is really ****ing with my mind. 

[filbertway]

I imagine the idea is to slow the spread down rather than prevent it completely. Slower rate of spreading gives the NHS more breathing space.

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

Can you work from home? If totally impossible, then yes.

I thought this too. Do they not know that you can't get home delivery or Click & Collect anywhere

If you can get to a farm shop. I'm a bit like this to I went to 2 Saturday and got everything I needed for me and the wife.

Good job sturgeon’s got a sign language person on her slot. I can understand what she’s talking about

 How have you been living for the past few weeks? 

[whoareyaaa]

Will building sites have to shut can anyone confirm?

[MattFox]

It’s basically the same as France and Spain.

 

If you have to work you can go but everything else bar essentials is banned

I've got enough food to last a while. Just a fear of being trapped in. I regularly have to take a long walk in normal times just to clear my head. The thought of being restricted to doing it once a day terrifies me.

Who knows! Seems like you decide for yourself to be enforced

[Wymsey]

Seriously, this situation will no doubt affect people's mental health.

If they're struggling and need professional help, would this be declined for a good while?

[Super_horns]

How will they know if people have been out more than once to excerise?

The police will ask you. Or, they’ll measure he wear on your trainers and check the difference if they catch you again
