Agreed but that's not our call to make, instead we just have to deal with ****ing morons that can't follow instructions unless they are forced to and even then it's ropey at best.
If you aren't shopping for essentials, don't go out. It should be simple but nope, most people tell themselves that this unprecedented situation is nothing to worry about and get mad when they are mildly inconvenienced. |

There's always going to still be areas such as supermarkets that will be busy because food is essential, smaller towns I guess might not seen a giant difference because towns are often where most people live, City's are the dangerous areas as they're usually crowded areas where the virus could thrive because there's always a movement of people a reason as to why New York is going to probably be the worst affected area in the world. In terms of the lockdown, I think it'll most defiantly go on for this entire month. no one can tell when lockdown can end because it's a virus, and things change on the daily. If I was to predict like everyone else I would say by early May they'll be some reductions. I'm all for people lives are more important the economy, but I really don't see the extreme predicts some people are saying like this will last months, the economy would collapse, they're would be more deaths from that then the virus, the lockdown needs to be in place until hospitals have the strength to support cases.

however you can still enjoy your freedom at home, i mean no one restricts you to stay indoors, your garden or balcony depending where you live is part of your home also a suggestion of mine, do not watch the news too much, it can make you depressed if you constantly watch that

Two possibilities here:
1) They know it's not going to happen but are giving ultimatums to keep the lockdown as tight as possible. Using the idea of getting out as a "carrot" to encourage people to be safe. My thoughts on this is that it is a HUGE error in terms of social psychology. When it's withdrawn for "naughtiness" at the last minute, there will be a drop in patience levels and disobedience will increase. 2) Alongside the clearly deliberately selected "we might still need to do herd immunity" govt press release "that was just one advisor" - they are baby-stepping a scared public into accepting that for economic reasons, certain aspects of lockdown will have to end long before the infection levels have decreased dramatically. I'm edging towards believing option two because I think people are severely underestimating the looming economic catastrophe, whilst governments are all too aware of it. They can't say these things outright though because SoMed deems it "choosing money over lives" as they're incapable of understanding how closely the two are linked. |

It wont be and I hope it isn't.
People are still flouncing the rules. Just today I drove past a local playing field to work and there were people kids playing...their parents clearly don't care about them.

So my windows are tightly shut now on a Thursday night. Last edited by parmnion; 04-04-2020 at 03:31 PM. |

You can't spread it standing on your door step on from your window.

No population of humans has ever been placed on this strict a lockdown for a prolonged period of time in written history, which means it has probably never happened, ever.
And we're not psychologically cut out for that level of cabin fever. Compliance rates will drop steadily over time as people lose willpower and the idea that most people will still be complying even 50% in 3 months is very, very optimistic - let alone the 6 months+ that some people are predicting. I know people don't believe or maybe just don't like what I'm saying but . Quote me in 3 months if I'm wrong I suppose. |

I can't see it, Italy started their lockdown in Feb, and they're still locked down.

Even if we followed it, I don’t see it ending anytime soon. And I bet there are going to be a lot idiots in the parks the next few days.

I was just reading up on the Spanish lockdown rules.
You're only allowed out for food or medicine, to walk a dog, go to hospital or work if necessary. Going out for exercise isn't allowed. Lockdown has just been extended to 26th April, so six weeks in total so far. Quote:

The world is run by actual morons, you're more likely to catch a virus on a bus than on a bike .
