I don't believe 90% of the posters who bang on about that everyday are really that deeply concerned about the mental health of others - they just want to justify their own selfishness. Overrun hospitals and thousands of people dying could be pretty depressing too. The lock down strains everyone's mental health. But it's for the greater good: I can put up with it. I'm fortunate to be fit and well. So far Covid 19 has killed 1200 people. I don't know what the figures are for death by Netflix.

The projections that the lockdown are based on now luck to be totally off the wall. Most cases are in care homes and sick people where discharged from hospitals into those care homes. I am not being whiny I though we are supposed to live in a supposed free country I am allowed give my opinion on current affairs and I think this lockdown is total madness. The people is was meant to protect got sick people dumped in on top of them. I am now done with the lockdown the nastiness of some of the posts here has left me in now doubt.

It's like some of you guys are just spoilt kids, who have never faced any real hardship in your lives... this is the first time some of you have had to face anything remotely challenging mentally, and you are throwing in the towel... like a bunch of cowards! What a pathetic generation of spoilt brats we have spawned in this country! (Not everyone of course... majority of people will stick this out and do what needs to be done! But holy fcuk, many in this generation are seriously embarrassing themselves!)

They will never ease the restrictions if people continually ignore them as you seem to advocate. I do believe they will ease some of the more draconian measures soon. But till then do as your told or do what you want. Choice is entirely yours. Your not being punished you are in fact being protected. Thankfully we are also being protected from you.

I am working long hours which are deemed essential. I am going to get out for a decent drive this weekend and head for a beauty spot and get out for a walk and enjoy the sun. Before you shut me down mods can you answer what harm I will be doing? This is a discussion forum we are not living in China or North Korea.

Antares35 wrote: » Ah, this line. Trotted out time and time again by people who cannot or will not understand that a free society is not a f*cking free for all. It doesn't mean we can just to whatever we want and to hell with the consequences. Most "free societies" will still have rules and regulations in place for the greater good, a concept usually forgotten by those who give out about the "gubberment" and how we live in a "free world". With rights come responsibilities. You don't get to pick and choose what rules you follow, and use the "free society" card to get you off the hook. If everyone did that, you would soon find that the concept of a free society and it's civil liberties would no longer exist for most people. Like anyone, I enjoy my civil liberties - I also know they are meaningless if I am six feet under. "free society" :rolleyes:

First week or two of work we has social distancing at this stage it has totally gone out the window and still NONE of us are sick. Large numbers of people working together for 8 to 10 hours social distancing is not practical.

She was picking up loads of stuff including joints of meat and putting them back down again. For every one thing she put in the trolley she felt up about 8 or nine things. Dirty bitch spreading germs all over the place.

Based on the progress that has been made so far in reducing the R0 value and given the rate of deaths and the rate of new cases it should be possible to estimate this on the basis of the data. Edit: Well if the RO value is acceptable now that we have quarantined for a few weeks what happens the RO value if we all get back to normal next week. They can probably estimate what will happen if we stay in lockdown but not if we lift restrictions.
