Why are we still testing just 23k? This is such a joke.

We knew this was coming back in January but denied it


With planning why not ? One member of the household to the shop once a week , so that only 2 visits , hardly difficult is it. 


In the harshest of Winters people stay inside so why would the two weeks of Easter be any different .


Yes of course the military would have had to be involved 


Yes I appreciate the logistics would be hard ……………………..but how  hard are the logistics of a relaxation going to be , equally as , but still have to be done.

FWIW, I think if you banned exercise you would achieve something resembling a true lockdown. Exercise is what is getting most people out and about - maybe this should be banned as it is what appears to be causing most of the grief in most people’s eyes here. That means though that nobody can do their runs, jogs, cycles, even if it’s 5 in the morning or in the countryside. Tough sh*t. 

Shopping for essentials only, one person per household. Only other people allowed out are NHS and social care workers. You would need the military to help and it would come with huge problems but that would be a lockdown.

 Could be that someone develops some kit, some filters perhaps containing bleach that destroys the virus before it enters our system.


He did not actually say down bleach. Sorry but it just goes to show how fucking stupid some people are.

As yourself and many others have mentioned Justin, it seems fairly clear that the 'lockdown' is slowly crumbling of its own accord. It's by no means a return to normal but compared to the first few weeks the increase in traffic and numbers of people out and about are very noticeable. There also seems to be lots more shops open with varying degrees of social distancing being observed.


It will be very interesting to see if there is a rise in new cases in a couple of weeks time. If there is I'm not sure where we'd go from there?

On another note, I’ve just been to do my weekly Morrisons shop and almost everyone was complying with social distancing, politely waiting for others to take from the shelves before stepping in.  Then an elderly woman came bustling up right beside my hubby and get this - she was wearing a face mask!   


I felt like explaining to her she’d be better ditching the mask and opting for 2 metre distancing!

The ‘lockdown’ continues to crumble here when the government should be keeping enforcement going.

What was the point in the extending of the lockdown when you have government ministers briefing the press in private going on about getting back to normality. All this does is influence the public psyche that it’s BAU.

The rush in the UK and Europe to get back to BAU will I fear be our downfall

He didn't even mention bleach he said disinfectant which can be a range of things some are not particularly harmful e.g. iodine but you wouldn't inject it.
He didn't exactly suggest injecting it either but I guess twisting anything that makes him sound ignorant suits some agendas (whether he is or not)

It had been mentioned before that London's peak of cases occurred earlier than elsewhere in the country, on 4th April, and given the time lag between infection and cases this may have occurred significantly before the start of the lockdown. As the backfilling has continued this date is now not the peak. London's total number of deaths on 8th April is 219 whereas on 4th April it was 218.This is obviously a very small difference and could change back tomorrow. However, the 3 day total 7-9 April is 600 whereas on 3-5 April it was 571 so i think the peak day was likely to have been 8th April. I guess roughly two weeks would be back to about the start of the lockdown?
