What might a stricter lockdown look like? Will we get to a point where we can't go out to exercise at all? Or is it more likely we'll only be able to go shopping once a week?

In my town the lockdown is being observed very well. People are smilingly giving each other a wide berth when out but overall it is eerily quiet.
I wonder how typical this is? None of us can have a sense of what the overall picture is.

I hope it doesn't get any stricter. I am already struggling with mental health and being inside so much. I've been in 3 weeks now due to illness and I can't do much more.

It is possible, but I think the government would have to have their backs against a wall to do it. And I think they will actually be reassured by the apparent slowdown in number of cases, making it less likely.

I welcome stricter measures because far too many people think it doesn't apply to them

It could be, though, that enough people are obeying the rules that the rule breaking of the minority doesn't effect the eventual outcome enormously. Like in the bottom model here www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/corona-simulator/ you don't need everyone to socially distance in order to vastly reduce cases, you just need most people to do it.

Oakmaiden I agree if numbers slow as they’ve already suggested I doubt they will go further

@safariboot , increased enforcement by whom? Don't you think the police have something better to do than breaking up some dickhead's bbq?
