Something doesn't add up

[1forsorrow]

So we had a 3 week lockdown, now we have another 3 week lockdown. So how come that adds up to a 7 week lockdown? Do they think we can't add up, do they think it sounds better to pretend we have had 2 x 3 weeks or what.

[MessEnoughClean]

Because the first 3 weeks technically ended on Monday, and the next 3 is starting now so that's 6.5 weeks, 7 work weeks... I'm guessing

[OxanaVorontsova]

Because the law was passed on Thursday 26 March and had to be reviewed by today, 3 weeks later

[Bouledeneige]

Really? Why does it matter?

[1forsorrow]

The first one did start on Monday 23rd March, today we are told we are having another three weeks but it ends on the 11th May which is another 3.5 weeks. I know the law wasn't passed for a few days but the lockdown started, the curtain twitchers and police were on it. The 11th May is a Monday so definitely not 3 weeks today.

[1forsorrow]

Really? Why does it matter? Because 3 and 3 doesn't make 7. If we are having 3 weeks lockdowns they should last 3 weeks.

[Notcontent]

Does it really matter? No one is imposing this for fun or for any gain.

[OxanaVorontsova]

They are at least 3 weeks at a time, what matters is sticking to it for as long as we need to

[Qcng]

But, who's saying we're having 6 weeks in total of lockdown? Noone.

After 7 weeks of lockdown everyone will be saying "Cor I'm glad those 7 weeks of lockdown are over"
Not 6.

They're saying another three because we're already in the 4th week, noone likes counting in halves.

I was going to post about this but felt a bit silly as no one else seemed to be asking the question. Is the three week extension starting today? So will be reviewed Thursday in 3 weeks. Or does it start Monday? I’m quite happy sticking with it I just like to have a rough timeline lol

[ihearttc]

Where does it say 11th May? I assumed it was 3 weeks from today? Not having a go...that makes it nearer 8 weeks doesn’t it?

[LastTrainEast]

1forsorrow 'They' have done this on instructions of the NWO to make you feel confused. And yes they were banking on the near certainty that no one in the UK could count to 7

[OxanaVorontsova]

No idea where 11 May comes from, no dates have been put on it by the government! www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52313715

[Peppafrig]

Haven't seen the 11th May anywhere . It will be three weeks from today I guess.

[ihearttc]

Which takes it to the day before the bank holiday doesn’t it? All the days are rolling into one at the moment!

[slipperywhensparticus]

He put us in lockdown three weeks ago today that's why the meeting to extend was held today

He only closed the pubs etc the weekend prior to lockdown

[Chloemol]

I suppose technically it could be 11 th may as three weeks is 7th May but the 8th is a bank holiday this year only for VE Day so really the first day back for many should lockdown be lifted in any way ( and not sure it will be) is Monday 11th

Tbh I don’t care when it’s lifted, it can go on to end of May if it stops some from dying

[OxanaVorontsova]

The lockdown was announced on the evening of Monday 23 March, it is effectively indefinite, but the impact has to be reviewed formally every 3 weeks from the date of the law being passed.

[Lasvegas]

Thanks for explaining oxana. Does that mean for the first few days of the lockdown there was no legislation to enforce it?

[OxanaVorontsova]

Yes

[OxanaVorontsova]

This article explains it quite well I think

[TheLadyAnneNeville]

Oh @1forsorrow... you’ll be amazed when this is all over by the things “they” tell us that just. don’t. seem. to. add. up. And well believe.

[TheLadyAnneNeville]

We’ll believe.

[midnightstar66]

The extension was due previously but there was a small matter of our prime minding in ICU so it was delayed a little. HTH

[Mulhollandmagoo]

Where did 11th of May come from? All we were told today was three more weeks, which from today is the 7th of May?

[Ilovemypantry]

I’m sure we’ll be told a date if lockdown is lifted, I doubt you’ll miss it
