This is fair too sensible to be on this thread/forum.

People are saying we should have gone full lockdown two weeks ago, well by now we’d have had mass disobedience and far more totally against it in the media and public.

I fully expect a total lockdown in the coming days, we’re gradually getting there, as you say.

To those saying well being gradual is costing lives, it’ll actually save lives in the long run as these measures will last longer and see us into the summer, where things will improve in the NHS.

We’ll find out in the next two weeks. Hope you’re right.

You need an ASBO - an Attention Seeking Bastard Order!

No **** is making you stay indoors under total lockdown 24 hours a day. You’re not a prisoner and it’s not impressive that you think you’re not going to listen to the instructions given to you.

You can go out to exercise and get some shopping. So can everyone! I can, and I will. I’ll be going for a jog and for a cycle every few days. But I’m not going on about being a rebel!

You’re just after attention, surely?

Many people have something called a phone, use that to talk to friends and family. If you can’t handle that for a while I think you need to grow some bollocks.

Unless you’re going to get a gathering of people together outside you’re not doing anything anyone else in the country has been told to do. That’s not rebellious.

If you are going out and getting a gathering of people together I hope you get a £1500+ fine like what’s happening in Spain. And I hope no **** gives you a penny towards it.

No one said it two weeks ago. Only when the rest of the world predominantly did it a week last Friday.

Trump speaking now.

10,000 units of hydroxychloroquine being made available from tomorrow in New York hospitals. He made a very interesting claim. Chloroquine is an anti-malarial drug. he says that the virus has not done well in those countries which have a malarial problem because they have high prevalence of chloroquine. Intriguing.

Me, my wife and two kids haven’t left our house for 11 days (except I take the dog for a 5min walk twice a day). Not one single complaint from any of us. The kids have been absolutely brilliant so far and the time is going so quick.

Some people need to get a grip.

I live alone, I suffered with depression for 15 years of my life (never taken any medication for it, refused it from the Doctor)... but even though I know that something could crop up in the background, I do not feel the need to brag that I’m ignoring the government with rebel spirit because I can’t go three weeks without speaking to anyone. I could go three months if that’s what they told me to do because I know that my actions could kill people.
 
Britons who are currently travelling abroad are being urged to return to the UK now.

A statement from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) said tourists and short-stay travellers should come home while commercial flights remain available.

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said: "Around the world, more airlines are suspending flights and more airports are closing, some without any notice.

"Where commercial routes don't exist, our staff are working round the clock to give advice and support to UK nationals. If you are on holiday abroad the time to come home is now while you still can."

The FCO statement added that international travel is increasingly becoming more difficult - with borders closing, countries stopping people from leaving, and further restrictions being introduced on a daily basis

Yes, let's all be worried that this is leading to some mass end of democracy and that through these actions we could save tens of thousands of lives nationally and millions globally. Uneasy? I will sleep uneasy - because he hasn't gone far enough. You'll sleep uneasy because your Dianne Abbott pillow can't be dry-cleaned for a few weeks.

Eh? Dianne Abbott pillow? You do know I’m not a Labour voter and think the current position of the party is in the fucking looney bin?

Learn from history or be doomed to it. It’s hard to see now with hundreds and thousands dying from this thing but in the future every government will know how to implement these types of measures, as we’ve finally actually implemented them in the UK. We’ve seen democratic, free countries the world over fall into the hands of fascist and communist dictators. All I’m saying is now that the blueprint is there for them, I feel uneasy.

HOWEVER, it’s the only thing that will stop thousands of my fellow citizens from dying in the here and now so I AM FOR IT.

Why you think this view is a big deal, never mind disagree with it, I don’t know.

No. He. Didn't. He never said don't work, he said unless its absolutely necessary, don't leave the house, unless you can't work from home. Totally different. Unsurprisingly for many paying the bills is absolutely necessary, and most can't work from home.

What!!! Do what you want, what would you consider absolutely necessary if not a key worker

So you’re telling me that Sports Direct is essential and yet you don’t understand why people are confused?

im pretty sure they will pay any companys 80 per cent wage bill iff they have to lay them off as long as they promise there is a job for them when the lockdowns over

Here’s a good one say you send home 10 of your workforce and the company gets the govt to pay 80% of the wages and then you need a couple of them again and later on you don’t, can you claim the 80% again?
