Do you reckon the uk will go into an official lockdown?

[orangedasies]

Just that really. I understand theirs a lot of suggesting going on but will they officially make people stay in or take responsibility?

Yes. I think end of the week personally.

I am sorry @Tonyaster but there are still too many people thinking they will be just fine, so they don't need to change their behaviour. I think information is always a good thing to make the right decisions, and I think there is a lot of myth out there. I don't want a lockdown, but I can see this might be the only way.

If going like the Chinese pretending in the beginning that it did not exist instead admitting it while it is now a general world problem as the virus have no boarder , feel only option is like many countries a complete lock down. Such decision is not a cheap and require Government's full support as no individual or company can support such confinement

@Bearlover16 Or potentially to assist with one of the many other things that need to be done.

Not saying it is definitely wrong to say a lockdown is imminent, just that the army moving around isn't certain evidence.

Lockdown in London next week

That army photo is the most apocalyptic-movie-cliche yet. I'm getting genuinely scared now. I've seen how this ends!

What would happen if you're visiting or working somewhere, staying in a hotel and lockdown is announced? Do you have a chance to travel home, does anyone know?

Sorry if these are silly questions but this is making me very anxious indeed.

@Bearlover16 Um they are driving on the right though?

Monday latest, at a guess. London is suffering badly, that will need to be brought under control asp.

@Bearlover16 behave yourself, these are clearly not in the UK. Stop fear mongering.

These are actual pictures that have been sent to me. I trust their authenticity 100%. You will realise this on Friday.

@Bearlover Oh really, you trust their authenticity do you? 2 days ago they were posted on a Russian site claiming to be images of French tanks shutting the Shengen border.

Sorry Ukrainian site.

Tanks being moved on lorries on the motorways.

They aren't tanks. They are probably APCs.

After seeing the lack of social distancing myself , I agree the government asked nicely and people are NOT doing it!

Its time to get tough. A week or 2 ago I read in a local paper about army vehicles being moved and I did wonder about that even then tbh......
So I wouldn`t be surprised if something is in the offing.

OK- - the third one is a tank. But one tank does not a lockdown make. They often move tanks around.

The 3rd one is a screen shot from a video of a long convoy of tanks on the motorway. I just couldn't upload the video.

Yup, I call Friday or the weekend...

And there will be a lockdown by Friday.

1. UK will go into lockdown sooner rather than later

1. Army vehicles are on roads all over the country quite frequently, it doesn't mean we're heading for martial law.

Friday.

@Windyone

I think we are all guessing but given recent lockdowns in Italy, Spain & France I think it’s inevitable
