The south should be demanding a lockdown now

[Ducksurprise]

Why wait, our rates are growing exponentially, a short lockdown now could bring rates down. Why wait until we are as fucked over as Manchester.

our rates are growing exponentially

Please provide evidence? Where is 'our' ? Share is the R rate? What businesses do you want shut? How much will it cost?!

Nope nope nope nope nope.

Lockdown just prolongs the inivitable, which is the return of cases as soon as we unlock, just like before. It's happened everywhere else that lockdown happened.

Sorry but we need to be sensible now, ride it out if you're not in the shielded group and self manage with hand washing, keeping distance and keeping the message simple.

Don’t speak for all of the south OP, OP hasn’t said where they are which is strange.

Op, are you a media reporter looking for opinions?

If not, please provide more details and evidence?
