Oh and Kudos to Boards for not crashing

We had a bit of a problem, but a swift wield of the ban hammer sorted that out quite quickly and normal service was resumed....

There will come a certain point where the effects of people not being able to work and businesses being shut down will be worse than the virus itself and could result in far more deaths. I'm not sure why people are finding that so hard to understand.

These "lockdowns" cant go on indefinitely, otherwise the whole world is ****ed. At some point most of us will have to accept the risk and try to shield the most vulnerable as much as possible.

Correct. If we see x% in y days, then we start opening this. But you're right. They're terrified. This path is to total devastation. Hundreds of millions of lives destroyed to save a few.

Save a "Few" open your eyes and HOPE your family don't endure what others will. It's not all about economies and money now!

I can’t find it anywhere . If someone is cocooned can they go for a short walk outside ?

Only within their own gardens, if they have one.

IMHO this martial law business is excessive. It will cause more damage to people's lives than anything. It's literally the soviet union collapsing again. I bet if you're a gangster nobody will bother you, the cops only bother people they aren't afraid of.

Agreed - Things (personally) were ticking along nicely - Family WhatsApp group ratty now for no reason etc.

I suppose the thing is, people just weren’t taking suggestions seriously enough.

Poor Miriam on the late late show. Hope they disinfected the chair Ryan sat in last week.

The virus is being spread among the community and will continue to do so.

It is easier to account for the whereabouts of the people in your household, and although you may have friends and family members you trust, so do they and it then becomes diluted. There will be one single break in the chain where someone gets infected and all those in that trust circle eventually become infected.

The goal is to keep the virus in every single household and to let it die within each household.

I agree. A month at the outside, then we will have to start getting back to normal, albeit with some social distancing

Yeah I’ll just let him roam around like the rest of the neighbourhood 🙄

Because that's obviously what I was suggesting. Either follow the restrictions or don't walk your dog.

I think realistically after 2 weeks, maybe 3-4 if things take a bit longer to turn for the better, we will swap back to what we were doing up until today and "cocooning". This and intensive contract tracing and self isolating.

How long can we keep this up before the public coffers run dry?

We will borrow. Every country will. Interest rates are low. There's plenty of money we can take from the future.

He was blatantly saying he is going to break the rule regarding the 2km.

Not a time to be encouraging breaking the rules that are there to keep all of us safe.

Im glad there is a lockdown I like many have very vunerable people in my family, cancer, CF, immunosupresses, other respiratory illnesses, and if by sitting on couch for however long means I am looking at them at Christmas or whenever this is over well pass me the remote because it will be worth it.

I have a small garden and I will gladly walk, jog, cycle, run in a circle in it, if it means them or people like them are alive at the end of this

Yes, but it has worked in other places, go full out for a short time rather than stay in a strangling stalemate for months or years.

Anyone know if people required to cocoon (ie. they must self-isolate) due to an existing medical condition are entitled to apply for enhanced illness benefit? The guidelines on CI say "You are entitled to Illness Benefit if you have been medically advised to self-isolate." Would this fall under that category?

Plus, absolutely every country in the world will be on the same boat economy-wise.
