    I have a housemate who doesn't want to go into work because of mixing with people. Fair enough. But then they bring over their friends to the house and mix with people!!! I just don't get it.

    Sounds like she doesn’t want to go to work because she’s lazy and it’s little to do with the virus!

    There are European countries with similar measures in place, so let's not go around pretending like Dubai and UAE are the only countries yeah?

    Can you tell me which countries in Europe prohibit leaving the house without a police permit?

    Sounds like someone who just particularly want to work, tbh. And a selfish prick.

    Scatter the population = spread the disease.

    I dunno.

    If people are in apartment blocks and all sharing elevators etc. then they could spread it faster than if half of them scattered to houses here and there along the coast.

    Only if the people who are travelling have it..... can people not be trusted to take some personal responsibility? We seem to distrust everyone in this country, bizarre attitude.

    And how can they spread it if they stay in their own house and carry out social distancing as normal.

    Firstly Dubai introduced that measure mere hours ago so let's not go around pretending like they've been doing them for ages yeah?

    Secondly the UAE wouldn't exactly be known for being a haven for human rights.....

    Dubai have had that for a number of days. Was on a few calls to there yesterday at work and from the way they were talking it’s not a brand new thing. They have drones patrolling for people breaking curfew and every car on Sheikh Zayed highway is being picked up by cameras for fines.

    Their Human Rights and attitude to the gay community etc is horrendous

    But! They will come out of this absolutely superbly. They don't fúck around there with safety (unless you're one of hundreds of Indian lads building their hotels, but that's a different thread)

    I would one hundred percent trust them more with this than any European government

    "bye now"

    You might find your car getting the once over if you try to pull a fast one. More than one way to skin a cat. Did you have a drink today sir.

    I don't know about a "police permit", but permits are being used in France and Italy.

    With other EU countries looking to ease restrictions, is that a cause for optimism here in the coming weeks?

    Cops are loving this here, any excuse to beat people up ,.... just wait till June/July here ... gonna get nasty!!!

    Good, I work in retail and have stopped a few people at the door that were coming in for a browse over the last couple of days, people are selfish and need a big stick.

    I’d be sending their employer a nice email with attached time stamped video/pictures of their actions. See how he/she likes that stinker :)

    I've a 5 year old daughter with a rather personal medical issue, not major but not something to let go on and on.
    Doctor told us to come down to their surgery on Thursday, seem to think it 'should' be fine.

    Am I off my head going there with her?

    I'm really worried about it but I also don't want this medical issue to worsen.

    Do go, don’t worry. Hope your little girl is ok, I’m sure both you and her will be fine.

    Are drones being used to monitor towns? I spotted one in the air last week in a controlled flightpath which didn't looks like your typical hobby drone on an outing.

    Frankly I am amazed (apart from a cohort of the entitled), that we really seem to have pulled together here even though it is tough for many to isolate and observe the rules.

    The more the rules are observed right now, the quicker we get out of this, or at least get to the point where things very gradually open up again.

    It's up to us.

    GPs are not letting coronavirus patients into surgeries.
