Is lockdown coming for us?

[BackyardChickens]

Do you really think a proper lockdown is coming for us, just like Italy? My husband is still burying his head in the sand about this. I think it’s a real possibility.

I think it will be announced Monday/Tuesday.

I agree. I just despair that it is necessary TBH. Just stay home, how hard is it?

Yes and the sooner the better. People aren't taking this seriously enough.

I know right!

Frankly I hope so, people aren’t complying properly with social distancing and this is dangerous to us all.

I don't think so. Maybe in some cities but I don't think it will happen everywhere

Hopefully! People are being dicks and not following the social distancing advice. If they can’t behave then we need lockdown sooner rather than later.

I bloody hope so! A fb friend just posted pics of her dc birthday - loads of kids out in park and climbing all of each other, hugging, kissing and then I see a pic that has her 70 plus mil in it!

Huge group of guys in the park today playing rugby.

Tackling each other etc.

🤦🏼‍♀️

It will be announced on Monday with effect of Tuesday

Fucking hope so.

Needs to happen now, people had their chance and couldn't comply

It will be announced on Monday with effect of Tuesday

And this information comes from?

Yes and it can't come soon enough

God I hope so.
Total not just London.

I fucking hope so to be honest.

What’s the difference between lockdown and what we have now?

Hope so

I think it will happen but I think we’ll get another half hearted ‘now look guys, this really isn’t cricket. Would you mind awfully trying to stay away from each other? You can go out but you can’t go out out’ message from ‘I want to be everyone’s friend’ Johnson on Tuesday. Then Lockdown on announces Friday to start 6pm Saturday next week. Easier to start it on on Sunday.

Ourselves and teens are following advice. But lots of teens aren’t and are still meeting up and hanging about roaming around in big groups.
Also lots of over 70’s also flouting the rules.

Will be all be locked at once or region by region?

I fucking hope so

@RoseCider my intuition. Sorry should have been more obvious it’s just my opinion, plus tips that the army are mobilising on Tuesday from squadsie wives

@utterlybutterly8 no more fortnightly blow dries for OAPs. No more frantic buying every other day at the supermarket. Playgrounds not packed out with bored kids on day 1 of no school etc etc

What’s the difference between lockdown and what we have now?

Stricter controls on movement outside of the home. Stronger police (and possibly military) presence on the streets. Likely some form of proof of trips outside the home (work pass, dated and timed note of where you intend to go).

Possibly additional legal powers to detain someone purposefully flouting the rules.

Shopping centres closed. Schools reduced to two key workers. Definition of key worker narrowed.

Busses stopped (apart from to supermarkets hospitals etc).

Cafes and restaurants currently doing in store take out are forced to stop this and only do contactless delivery.

Could be any number of the above.

Utterly- one of my fb friends posted today a photo of her and her mates with cans of cider- "when you need a catch up but pubs are shut- bench it is!! #stay classy"

I despair,, but really, true lockdown is necessary
