The problem the government faces with any lockdown is what to do with the people who break it. As others have said our culture differs from other countries and as we have seen over the weekend some people either don’t know how serious this is or just don’t give a shit. We can put the police and even the army on the streets but what powers will they have. These useless crottes who are either drunk, drugged up or both will just see it as a laugh to taunt the police or the soldiers. Unfortunately the won’t be able to shoot the bastards, can they lock them up? If so where?, force them to go home? How?, fine them?, most will be on benefits probably anyway. Is a difficult decision to say the least

The Chinese put them in a big room to catch the virus and either die or develop immunity.
We should do the same. Sadly the PC brigade wouldn't be happy with that.

Fuckin fed up with a country full of wankers.
Got a call from a close friends son who’s disabled, saying his mum was dying, so rushed round and took her to stepping hill, she had it and spent a week in there with pneumonia symptoms, I got Ill no fucker came and all I got was weeks of shit tablets, told I had it off 111 still no help, then I got given a mix of medication similar to what Marvin has described, took four days to be in stock, a visit to bramhall medical centre for an Independent review, still coughing up super glue but alive and pretty sure I’m ok, wake up every night and spend about an hour chucking up shit. Every neighbour avoids even looking at me coz of the noises coming out of this house. But apart from that cool.

Still begs the question though...what do we do if the police or army confront a group of these idiots?

What exactly is green sputum ?
If you mean green phlem it doesnt always mean theres an infection lurking.

My wife is one of the ones who will have to have 3 months behind locked door, I have the potential to pick this up through work, where the hell will I go to self isolate if I get it. I’ll have to stay in the bedroom for 7 days :(
Apparently 67 firefighters are off at the moment, that’s 3 stations worth, we are undermanned as it is, we are going to be struggling to man pumps soon I bet.

GMFRS? With so many cuts there must be spare rooms on station!
 
For those in the vast majority who come out the other side the game will have changed, the world will have hit reset - remember January 2020 - the last month of the "old world"

stuff from deep down in your lungs not the superficial stuff

Who may need antibiotics if they have a cough with or without phlegm?
  • If you have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with green phlegm you should see your doctor as you may have an infection. People with COPD are more likely to be/have been smokers and green phlegm in this group is more indicative of a sign of infection.
  • If you have had a recurrent chest infections you should also see your doctor for a clinical review as you may have an infection.
  • Those who are older (over 65) or who have other chronic lung and heart conditions may need to seek advice about treatment

Even if there are a minority who flaunt it, if the government come out with STRONGER messaging - the vast majority should comply. It will be better than the piss take I've seen today, with people at parks having picnics etc and very much thinking it is Business as Usual.

I just a long friend with a friend of mine who is a doctor at the NHS, she is terrified and was nearly in tears and said she does not know any doctors who are not. If the government lets them down, then they are an utter disgrace and to be honest, so is the general public.

I thought he said England. I’m in Northern Ireland though and we are the last for most things. But it will filter through eventually and I’m taking extra precautions already.

our cases have been a lower than the mainland with 128 in 24 days since first case and only 2 deaths across a 2million population. God bless the Irish Sea.

Health is devolved isn't it so yes NHS England was what was discussed - the devolved parliaments have to decide what they do.

Frankly if the Spanish who are the epitome of outdoor lovers can quarantine themselves with the minimum of fuss, so can the British.
