This is something that's worrying me, tbh. The idea that everyone will be happy to just stay indoors and binge Netflix is...amusingly naive.
Yeah that's spudz. He's got loads of videos pretending to work in supermarkets
Yeah, halfwits around the nation are simply incapable of withholding their impulses because they dont acknowledging the science. Im expecting things to descend quickly after another week.
Looking through the links in threadmarks, I suspect it's a behavioural model clashing with a medical one- as in 'put off severe lockdown as long as possible to avoid panic and let people get used to it'. No wonder that's in conflict with actual medical advice about contagion and overloading the NHS that is predicting ICU capacity full by the end of March. It makes little sense to me at this point. People have been told the risks, they are just ignoring them due to some sense of British exceptionalism.
Ah, that's good then :)
Don't know where you all are, so maybe it's anecdotal, but I've never seen so many police — vans not cars — on the streets. They must know social disorder is on the horizon if they don't clamp down first.
Milk and bread doesn't seem to be an issue up here in Dundee. Never struggled for either of those things.
In places like Honolulu that concern feels real. The cost of living here is insane and with the shelter order people can't work anymore.
Comrade Boris starting the socialist revolution one step at a time.
It's also fine to not go for a walk or run, if you think everyone else is a dangerous idiot who won't respect your space.
I feel the same about my crippling, decades-long social anxiety disorder. ✊
Yeah, circumstances have a huge effect. I know folk living out in the country who are walking in the woods every day, and folk halfway up a tower block who risk bumping into someone the moment they step out of their flat.

My condolences. Those situations are difficult at the best of times, so I can't imagine how upsetting that must be.

You know it's a weird time when what used to be satire is now sensible publishing.
Britons spend lovely weekend being totally irresponsible dickheads

I can't believe I'm writing this sentence, but Boris needs to wake up and realise that "not wanting the UK to become a police state" is pointless thinking today. It's going to happen one way or another: either prescriptive and semi-controlled, or as a response to death, destruction and lawlessness. I know which one I'd pick.Laura Kuenssberg on Twitter
“Govt considering next steps like closing non-essential retail or whether to start treating people flouting the stay at home advice as acting against the law - all being discussed - huge decisions, nothing final”
