If you want stricter controls should they be introduced regionally according to need?

For example we are told London is 3/4 weeks ahead of the rest of the country. In Italy they aren't applying the same measures everywhere.

Full lock down is going to be very tough on the population. Should it be introduced where most needed first?

No because people will leave the worst areas bring it with them and create more spread just as we've seen elsewhere in Europe

Not if they're locked down they won't!

No I think we have to have measures as a nation - anyway if they work they should stop other regions at an earlier stage - which would be good wouldn't it?

No. Nationally and as strict as possible. £2.5k fines for breaking the rules. 10k fines I don't care. They have to be very punative.

@DoubleAction

You have to give people enough time to get home and enough time to get home is also long enough for an exodus

I live in a more unaffected area and I hope that with tougher measures now we will be able to cope better in 2 weeks time. Lock the stable door before the horse bolts. Maybe if we have spare capacity here and it spreads less we can offer help to other areas

We can’t lock down, realistically. We can’t even stop pubs from opening with the exception of repeat 24 hour bans.

People need to heed the advice.
