COVID-19 — Coronavirus

When I’m basking in the summer sun tomorrow, comfortably numb, I’ll think of all the scared little wimps cowering in their depressing darkened hovels. And I’ll have a good hearty laugh. :-)

I imagine you think you're being funny.....

reasons

Yes he said essential work so all the hairdresser's and nail technicians can carry on

Hence the pairs

gathering together will be dispersed.
He made it clear.

I would love to know what his acceptable number of deaths are. Based on how long he’s left it to announce these still too lax measures it seems he’s still prepared to sacrifice lives for the sake of keeping B&Q open.

I genuinely thought it would be much stricter.

It’s much deeper than that.

There’s a bigger picture with implementing authoritarian measures and putting people under house arrest but for supermarket trips is something that a Libertarian will always be against.

To put this into context, these are the most authoritarian measures ever implemented by a UK government.

I know it will save lives and it’s needed but I feel very uneasy about it.

Either that or accept that 1% of 70% of 65 million will die (~450k), which unbelievably was British government policy until about a fortnight ago.

i really hope you are joking

He's either desperate for attention or stupid, I suppose he could be both though.

Wel lhe was wrong, as he did what we all expected, hardly a momment you will be talking about for years, as we have been talking about it for weeks already

What!!! Monumental, never been seen

What are the chances of catching it without touching someone, something they’ve touched and staying 2 metres away, walking past them for a split second?

Come on fella so by this theory let everyone out as long as they stay apart, we can call it social distancing or something. Oh shit we tried that. It’s more nonsense from a tit of a PM.

There are so many potential issues. Kids coughing and sneezing for one. Going down slides, running and bumping into other kids etc.

• Only go outside for food, health reasons or essential work

I reckon we’ll get clarifications tomorrow as to what essential means.

I thought he said essential travel for work, that can't be undertaken at home. (or something similar)
