About time, it’s going to be madness on the streets today, police will be busy, I hope to God the supermarkets take some responsibility and limit amount of shoppers in at a time or it will be a free for all.Sky News reporting the government are pushing for a total lockdown within 24 hours

The blitz spirit is part myth.
The bit that is true is that Hitler thought it’d break Britain mentally and the people would turn on Churchill for not surrendering and stopping the bombing. It had the opposite effect and made people more motivated towards the allies winning the war.
The false bit is that everyone sang songs and skipped in bomb shelters holding hands and looking after each other. The reality is that people trampled over each other to get into the underground, looting was rife in a lot of places and even public service workers like police officers and the fire brigade stole from burning buildings.
Of course it wasn’t everyone and of course, as now, you had millions of people acting differently.
I don’t blame those that did necessarily, we owe that generation a great deal and they truly were the golden generation. I’m just highlighting even people then weren’t exempt from the selfishness that the survival instinct causes.

Hurt my feelings? It’s like you don’t even know me!80 years and point stands although they still had rationing 70 years ago so that people didn’t stock up and hoard, funny that given your example. Why would they need to if people were ‘better’ then, societally.
Yes I didn’t reply as it seemed I’d hurt your feelings. My post that you replied to had garnered quite a few likes in agreement and it appeared your taken it as a personal slight. I didn’t wholly agree at all with your reply, it still smacks to me of rose tinted spectacles but I thought I’d leave it.
I’m not so sure about that. There’s plenty of social shaming that goes on in 2020, especially in smaller communities, and yes, even on social media.
Americans to introduce a 45 minute virus test within day. That's a big step forward. Presumably then it will roll out internationally, or there will be equivalents across the world. That would be huge. You could test a whole plane whilst they disembarked etc.
3200 strong trial of antivirals started today - Europe wide. Predominantly French.
Yep.I think the Blitz spirit as it's known today was in fact invented in recent times and seems to be getting more exaggerated with every passing British crisis.
When you hit the 15 mark, let me know.Edit: after finishing the above reply I noticed my post you replied to has three likes. Score!
