No, but I really wish it would but I honestly cannot see much changing.

HappyHammy · 12/03/2020 13:26

What do you mean by lockdown,

MakeLemonade · 12/03/2020 13:27

No but I really think it should. I don’t want to be the country that tries non separation/lockdown to see what happens!

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 12/03/2020 13:28

I don’t think it should.

Geometricprince · 12/03/2020 13:29

Nope but I also think we should. I'm actually getting quite concerned now and I'm usually very blasé about these things.

No, of course not, that would have been sensible.
They'll keep the proles going until they die working.

No. At what point are people taking their children out??

halcyondays · 12/03/2020 13:36

Ireland aren’t exactly going into lockdown, not yet anyway.
Schools, colleges and childcare facilities are closing.
Mass gatherings banned of over 100 indoor, and 500 outdoor.
People to WFH if they can.

Airports and ports to remain open - must they?

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 12/03/2020 13:36

Ireland isnt in lockdown, people are still free to travel and go out unlike italy where everything is closed and people arent allowed to travel.

To answer your question i think we will follow ireland into the delay phase to try and push the peak back to the qarner months to allow the NHS to be able to cope better but i dont think we will lockdown yet.

Helen

Some have already done it this week, others are tomorrow.
If you are able to deregister, this will keep them off your back, but I doubt they can fine half the population if everyone who wants to takes this action.
Just say you are self isolating, then whops, we have to self isolate again.

I wish we would follow suit and close the schools. I’m going to see Morrissey on Saturday night and I’m hoping he cancels. If not I will still go because- well because it’s Morrissey.
