Can somebody explain if & why a drive would be against current guidelines?

I.e. getting in the car at the house, driving and not leaving the car until returning home.

Just you and yours, yes? Everyone else staying at home?
That would be fine. Of course!

Go and have a chat with yourself, will you?

Family member died overnight. Had been having breathing difficulties. Will be waiting a few days for results. Had pre-existing conditions. It's getting real, I won't be seeing a lot of people for a decent amount of time now.

This virus is not disappearing "in a few weeks".

The curve will be flattened enough for us to loosen restrictions.

I really really feel for them it’s everything taken away from them. Even more so for the older people without families to look in on them

A grim day has seen the number of deaths in the last 24 hours in Italy revised up to 969 from 917 earlier which was first reported.

The growth in cases going to ICU is not as quick though.

You plan on licking the pavement? :eek:
Stay 2m+ from each other and we'll be A1.:) My keeping within a 2km radius does nothing. I won't be complying. There is no virtue in blindly accepting instruction without rationale. The 2m convention however is scientifically backed.

I don’t know what I’m more incredulous of, your level of absolute tone deafness or the fact that you clearly have an ego the size of the sun.

My dad in his late 70s is making excuses just to go out. The bank. The mechanic. The farmers market. Hopefully he gets it now.

I live 6km from closest shop but 4km from closest forrest.

I can drive to shop to buy groceries

Can I stop off in the forrest on the way home for a walk?

As you said QE causes inflation in assets prices, because the printed money is injected in the financial economy. I.e. inflation is where the money is injected.

With helicopter money, the goal is to inject money in the real economy rather than the financial economy, and thus it will cause consumer prices inflation rather than asset price inflation. That inflation will be particularly visible in constrained spendings such as essential consumer goods and rents (rents is a big one as there will be more money competing for the same constrained supply of rental properties, and more money chasing a finite and essential ressource logically leads to inflation).

Any QE has to go directly to the people this time.

Doesn't the majority of Americans support the President handling of the crisis?

Polling numbers for a president during a crisis do tend to improve.
George W Bush approval rating jumped 40 odd points during 9/11.
I wouldn't read too much into polls atm.
The numbers in US are totally soaring especially in New York and Trump is already keen to lift restrictions.

The post I responded to claimed that it was the "elected government". Clearly that is wholly untrue.

If you can evade the guards hiding up the trees you'll be grand I'd say.

And then a second wave. And another after that. We need a credible description from the government of what their exit strategy is here, or we'll be at this for years. Sweden and the Netherlands have gone down a very different route - I'm not saying it's right, but there are options other than locking us all inside for the next few years.

Yes. But you will have to remain in the forest for 2 weeks.

I think it’s a step too far taking away people’s freedom

With freedom comes the duty of and weight of responsibility, something that was ignored this night last week.

These are temporary restrictions in face of an extraordinary peril to the lives of so many of our fellow citizens. I fully support them having seen the childish behavior of some in this country in the last week.
