COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[abu13]

I was at a Morrisons earlier to get the elderly parents weekly shop , I was amazed at how little people were buying why go to a supermarket and just buy 2 or 3 items ? A guy in front of me had two cases of beer a cake and a loaf of bread !? It took him nearly 45 mins to get that due a bit of queing on entering and to get to the till to pay .

To be fair he might be married and needs the break.

Deaths will continue to go up for approx two more weeks

Wow so that's at least another 14,000 deaths over the next fortnight.

We seem to be on a steeper trajectory than Spain and Italy. Very grim news.

Is it possible that the UK no longer has the police force capable of enforcing a total lockdown?

Yes. Good point.

Depletion in new recruit numbers for years, lots have left the force over pay or other factors, and now a chunk of them are isolating.

Anybody phoned the police

Lol. Saw 3 police vehicles go past whilst I was stood queuing

It's staggering what UK is doing. The only explanation is that it's in "herd immunity in disguise" plan. Make "stay at home" public appeals to cover your arses as much as possible, but let most of the things going on in the real time. Even USA has more strict things going on.

Does it kinda feel like weve opened our treasury's sluice gates to give a big chunk of the populace a load of paid leave?

I think that’s exactly what it is.

Gorton. They were also illegally parking all over the show. Saw a few cop cars going by but nothing seemed to happen

Herd immunity was going well for them untill football shut themselves down and they had to shut off mass gathering.because of the focus on them,it was a reckless plan that left tne vulnerable hanging

This weekend will be the nudge the government needs to actually put us into a proper lockdown. It will be a shock as so many seem to think this is already a lockdown. The images and footage that will emerge over the coming days will leave the rest of us in despair.

We seem to be keeping the cases and the critical beds at a lower level than Spain so no evidence at the moment why deaths should be more certainly not vastly more.

My cousin went to A&E the other day with Coronavirus symptoms after being told to by 111, and they refused to test him because he wasn't ill enough.

When you consider how often that's going on around the country and consider that Spain and Italy are testing more than the UK, it's impossible to compare their number of cases with ours.
