    Bring them back, test them at the airport or tell them to self-isolate.

    That's probably what will happen but I think less latitude will be given compared to the Italian ski groups etc. They likely genuinely didn't see any issue prior to departure. You'd have to think that most of those on holiers in Spain etc now were well aware of the pending problem and yet decided to go.....

    Im not happy with our plan either.

    I would have prefered we d stopped humans travelling in/quarrantined 4/6 weeks ago. At least then the country could have some sort of normality. Keep the virus out instead of dealing with it.

    Sounds extreme, but so does our plan and uks and every other countries plan


    Hindsight, yes I kind of agree, but that have been realistically possible? Probably not.

    Finally the idea of locking up all 70+ and they staying uninfected or in any manner of good health without outside contact or the ability to go outside is absurd
    Doesn't even seem to account for older folks living with their younger family members.
    What do people do, lock granny in her room and feed her through a hole in the door and wear full PPE everytime they enter. FFS.

    Any further lockdown will come with notice I imagine.

    My advice is instead of pasta, go get some DIY stuff, paint etc.

    There will be long days ahead that will need filling. Tackle the jobs that you have been putting off.

    I think the mods need to start handing out bans to the posters that was posting fake news on here yesterday. Things are bad enough than having idiots posting nonsense in the effort to make people panic more..

    People panic buying again this morning, shop I work in was quiet enough over the weekend but it's gone crazy again this morning. People ignoring the advice about keeping distance between people where possible and whole families in shopping. Can one parent not stay at home while the other gets the shopping?

    Stupid people listening to rumours on WhatsApp. By jaysus we are a thick shower all the same. A person is intelligent, but people are stupid.

    THIS!!!!! We’ve also seen patients in Japan get re infected
    I think there were a limited number of cases they could not explain. They are unsure what happened. That is just one possibility.

    And our plan? Complete lockdown until what, exactly? Until a vaccine is available at an unspecified future date? Until we have no cases, and then start all over again when new ones appear?

    The UK plan has an end date and won’t lead to a deflationary spiral. That alone makes it better than ours.

    We haven’t locked down everything, most people can still work. We have had a staggered shut down of things over the week. Had all those idiots not rushed to pubs we might not of had to shut them down.

    I’d say over the coming months we May see staggered services and closures on/off depending on how the numbers are looking. People are going to keep getting infected. The idea of slowing the curve is being targeted by everybody , even the rogue Brits. We can’t stop it, we can only slow it down. Eventually we will all prob get infected on some capacity, that’s less of a disaster if we get infected in lower numbers.

    Can I ask why?

    Surely the only reason to test someone now is to treat any severe cases?

    Anyone who is not in serious condition just needs to self-isolate.

    Wouldn't thousands of unnecessary tests just put even more strain on health systems?

    People who's time could be better spent elsewhere are wasting resources testing 1000s of people and getting mostly negative results anyway.

    Why what?
    He lives with his 2 kids and his wife who has a chronic long-term issue. Parents on both sides (who were there well within the 2 weeks incubation period. I thought maybe it'd be a good idea for him to be tested.
    Also, if we only test those with serious symptoms then we're going to end up with completely juked stats.

    Yep. Also the supermarkets won't shut, but everything else is likely to at some stage - so we're to Smyth's today to buy our 10 month old son is first birthday present, just in case.

    No real need for your mental health to take a hit. While difficult, if extreme measures like that came in, they should relax your mind.

    I wanted to move into my own place this year so the thought of being stuck in a flat with two of the most disgustingly untidy selfish individuals who I don't get on with is unbearable. One of them won't even change a toilet roll, throws it on the floor of the bathroom agreed to the cleaning rota but won't do it and there is filth and mould beginning to grow because this person is selfish. I was away and they wouldn't open the door for an amazon delivery so they inconvenienced my neighbour. I don't trust these people and I don't want to be here with them during difficult periods. Yes I was involved in choosing them to move in but I had no idea that the agreement to a cleaning rota was a lie.

    I think for other reasons though this will take it's toll mentally on many people as the months drag on.

    I think people really overestimate the capability and caliber of our armed forces.

    The only people that can beat this virus is the general public. We are learning how to combat it and we will beat it. It might take a while but so be it.

    The economic fallout will be severe but we will muddle through.

    And nobody will starve to death.

    Rumous are the PM is slowing tests to keep numbers low so the Olympics can go ahead.

    Pretty short sighted as it is impossible to hide forever and the Olympics need other countries to go ahead plus the ultimate decisions is down to the IOC.

    He has publicly staked his legacy on them going ahead so thats all he cares about.

    Fair enough point but that would make more sense back in the spanish flu, their would be so much travel between the 2 nations same as here as we are an island too?

    Wonder will cancellation due to my partner having holidays revoked due to needing all hands on deck be a valid reason ( healthcare worker )

    Lock down will come in phases. We have just 'dealt' with the pubs.

    Next it will be restaurants.

    After that it will be non-essential (non food/non medical) shops and probably shopping centres.

    That will all happen before people are told to stay away from work/stay at home.

    Sure, a bit of fresh air is good for everybody. From all that's being reported though, children in particular seem to get over this bug pretty easily. So not too much to worry about on that front. It's more a question of limiting them spreading it to more middle aged and elderly people whose immune systems seem more likely to object to it.

    What sort of timeframe before work shuts

    This is important for those transitioning to welfare
