To be expected i guess. Especially when there are so, so many lunatics out there. :mad:

Only essential work. Hopefully that means factories and construction sites closed. Not allowed go further than 2km from your house and only for essential things. Can impose penelties if you breach the rules.

Can I have one please ?

We thought this would happen , now it's here , it's needed imo .

We just have to hope that people comply and stop the conspiracy nonsense or playing it down.

Got a text during it saying it's like a sci-fi movie. It is surreal, but necessary like you said.

Hope you're all ok, the news of the temporary mortuaries rattled me, but if everyone plays their part for 2 weeks we could escape what Italy etc are experiencing.

I think that would be considered a necessary medical trip so don't panic.

Can my partner still get my shopping and drop it off? That's social care, right?

Yes I would think so, essential .

So do we have to explain our business at checkpoints or something? How does this work? I did google but nothing concrete yet?

Yes, allowed to make trips to help others. Obviously you should try to avoid going out, so someone will need to deliver food etc. Perfectly logical for your partner to continue to do this.

This will be self-policed to a large extent so everyone should report the assholes who ignore this advice.

I don't think the guards or army have the personnel to mount constant checkpoints. There was talk of drones being used at one point but I expect the majority who comply will report the selfish assholes who don't.

No Guard in the country wants to stop people & ask them their business, no Guard wants to tell people they are too close to others.
Hopefully everyone polices themselves with these rules.

I just popped in before putting on a movie to say that I haven't physically been around another person in about 4 weeks apart from passing strangers going on my walks. I'd spend a lot of time by myself anyway living alone and not being good socially but this is a whole new level of loneliness for me. This thread and Boards is a great place to come to stop me from cracking up, I'm glad I post here with you guys and you'd be hard pressed to find a better group of people. We may all be sick of each other by the end of this but until then thanks for the company. It is much appreciated.

Fair enough. In yorkshire theyre turning people back because of mass gatherings on scenic walking routes. Not the same as checkpoints maybe. There was a story about lots of additional squad cars which sounded dramatic but Ive barely followed all this. Its just so sudden.

I'd like to second this. I'm no social butterfly but this is an exceptionally lonely time and I'm grateful for the lovely boardsie community.

I think we should all have a wherers meet up after all of this.

We can all look nervously at our feet and communicate on thread if needed!

Few drinks though and we'll be grand.
