FFS lock the country down now

[Hazelnutlatteplease]

Is anyone looking at the British public this weekend and thinking FFS lock us down! lock us down now and hard!

Are people really that thick to think that whats happened to poor china, Italy and Iran, cant happen to us.

Our government have seen it coming and done nothing. Other than protect the economy cos that's more important than lives and our NHS. We should have been in lockdown from friday.

Isitmyimagination if this happens will we still be able to go out for walks in our own household members?

As someone who goes running for mental health and whose kids are used to playing sports regularly it would break us to not even be able to walk/run through our local woods and cycle paths.

^So, we're all losing our freedoms/human rights/jobs/livelihoods/contact with others/sanity to stay at home to protect the (less than) 7% who could just stay at home and avoid the virus themselves. I smell a rat.

And now we're going to have the army policing the streets to make sure we all stay in our little boxes and sat glued to the propaganda machine. I hope everything goes right back to normal afterwards, because if it doesn't I will be blaming the hard of thinking.

Fear makes people so stupid.^

I agree

I can't believe how stupid my own family are!
Dad is over 70, his gp phoned him last week to warn him to be careful (preexisting conditions)
He was deeply insulted and promptly took his self off to the pub, mum is adamant she going to the hairdresser this week and for her Mediterranean holiday in June!
How the fuck I made it to adulthood with this pair I'll never know.
