>>36171 Yeah, but it doesn't appear too serious currently, more of a precaution in case it gets any worse. He has passed the power of leading the country to his official stand in yet so it can't be that serious at the moment. However I'm pretty sure he's trying to down play the whole thing too.
Holy Shit! I managed to get a food delivery booked, it's not for 3 weeks but at least I know when I can next get some fresh food. I think if I'm careful I can make what I already have last that long. It's a big relief, although I'll keep my eye on other options just in case.
The UK lockdown is pretty weak. People can go out once a day for a walk or run. They can go to a shop whenever they need food. People can still go to work if they can't do their job at home.
A lot of non-essential shops have closed but only because people have stopped going, not because they were made to stop.
And to top off the 'extreme measures' being taken by the government anyone found out in public in a group of several people of more might be fined as much as £30!?!?!?!
It's no wonder people aren't taking this shit seriously.
Yesterday I went to the Sligro (supermarket for foodservice businesses) and I wasn't allowed in! They only allowed 1 customer per business and you had to wear gloves.
