Couldn’t believe it today. Went out for the usual dog walk. My little village was absolutely fucking rammed with outsiders who’d come to walk, cycle and mostly just hang around in the village centre chatting. The little shop had a massive queue outside it of people buying coffees, all in close proximity to each other. Whilst trying to walk, great gaggles of people were blocking the paths, not even attempting to keep away as we tried to pass. It was clear that people had just thought “oh, the shops are shut, we’ll go hang out in the countryside instead “. It’s like they had zero recognition that there was any kind of need to prevent infection whatsoever — the whole message had utterly passed them by. It made me realise we’re really fucked and it annoyed me no end.

Depending on the distribution of infections government could decide to fully lock down specific areas rather than the whole country. In China and Italy they locked down the areas with the biggest infections first, Wuhan and Hubei and Lombardy in Italy.
There is a site which shows the spread of infections in the UK, does anyone have a link to it for me?
I think early on the issue for the UK was that infections were fairly spread out across the country making regional shut downs harder to justify because there would be no benefit. If it comes to a national shut down that will be 66 million people under lockdown which could be a first.

The political problem with that is that, incredibly stupidly, they have specifically said that they won't - won't prevent people moving in and out of London, "zero chance". Why say it? So now it's harder to do a U turn.

Those cunts at Britannia Hotels, owners of Pontins, have sacked loads of staff, and those living on site have been told to pack-up & fuck-off.

Well that does seem to suggest Greater London is a centre.

Thanks for posting the link. It isn't the easiest thing to use is it?

He said in yesterday's press conference that he'd be seeing his own mother tomorrow.
I think relying on the message just isn't good enough, even if the message had been communicated better and earlier. This kind of public health emergency isn't something that can be left to individuals deciding whether to take stuff seriously - enough will inevitably found wanting.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the decision has already been made but they’re waiting for military assistance to be in place before calling it.
