Should the army be brought in to patrol the streets?

Some people are obviously ignoring all advice.

Maybe it's time to get serious with the idiots.

No.

We are not living in a dictatorship. Last I remember this was still a democracy.

You can’t stop stupid. Just slow it down.

Maybe try concentrating on protecting the vulnerable instead.

Start in the main places where the streets are still crowded with people. There are large parts of the country that are wide open spaces that won't need the army.

How about you and everyone else stop bitching at people having to do the best they can and start looking after the vulnerable.

Try shopping for the elderly and taking it to them and leaving it on their doorstep so they don’t have to go out.

Or asking the army to help at care homes when their staff get ill and can’t??

Or you go help at a care home. Or pick up trash at a hospital to help them.

Something productive instead of bitching and spouting crap

"You can't enforce advice. Staying indoors isn't compulsory yet. "

Staying in is not even government advice yet, the official advice is to social distance if nobody on your household is showing symptoms and self isolate for 14 days if one person does.

It's actually beneficial to get out and get some fresh air and exercise to.boost your immune system and preserve mental health.

I think we will have the army out on the streets soon, they might not make much of an impression but it's all we have so we'll have to live with it.

Apparently (unverified) France have said they will close the borders to the UK unless we take stricter measures, if that's the case then it will happen very soon as much of out food comes via France.

There's strict measures and then there's going OTT. I believe that civil liberties need to be protected to the last, the freedom just to go for a walk for example. I don't want to see us in a situation like France where you need an official document just to leave the house for example, it's too Orwellian for my liking.

Plus we need to be conscious of the damage to the economy, that will affect the generations to come greatly.

People are ignoring the social distancing thing though. The army could be brought to the places where crowds of people are still gathering.

It's no good closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.

For your information. I look after several older people, not only in my street but in my neighbourhood. Shopping for them , taking them shopping or simply sharing what I have accumulated over my years in military service and as a prepper.

It’s the same gormless fucks who used to take the piss out of me for the latter who are now running round like headless chickens ‘sprouting crap’ and causing unnecessary fear .

And as an old soldier I know that if/when the army do come they will be there to support the police/ ambulance and fire helping and doing what and where they can .

You might want to find out a little about the people your attacking. My name is Pete by the way . I can give you my military number aswell if you want .

No, the Armed Forces will be doing many things, not least their primary role of defending the country.

When the government 'advice' turns to compulsion then the armed Forces will no doubt support the Police, who's role it is to enforce the law and keep public order.

I don't think anyone who mentioned using ammo ( we most certainly didnt) would mean the wanted people shooted. The army could patrol and take action that doesn't involve shooting. That would be taking it to an extreme which surely isn't needed.

I think sometimes there are people on the forums who deliberately set out to wind up and cause dispute. Maybe it’s there version of fun . Oh well .

We don’t have to agree on anything. But let’s face it most of us are strangers. So we don’t really know anything about each other or each other’s history.

Surely we can disagree without reverting to personal attacks.

We are a military couple. It’ll would be so thinly spread it would make no difference. Best thing to do is make us self policing. We need to tell people when they are doing things wrong. If you see this happening back people up.

Ok interesting thread. I consider myself sane sensible and intelligent. I dismissed this initially then have watched it progress and get worse day by day. I’ve got 2 kids and just taken them out for a scoot. We had strict rules about staying away from people not touching anything etc. The sun was shining and we kicked a ball about. We had fun. Inside I was processing every threat, every person was a potential risk and yes it’s scary but we must carry on. Would I like to see army or police out with guns... no but I think a percentage of people just don’t get it ( despite the media barrage) and worse just don’t seem to care. These are the few that will affect the many. We live in dangerous times and we need sensible solutions on a day by day basis. Stay inside if you can... minimise the risk... work together as local community to keep older and vulnerable safe etc etc... this will pass we just need some common sense.

It's actual medical advice to get outside and have some exercise as it boosts the immune system which would help someone fight off the infection.

This is one reason why it's I don't think we should enter into a full lockdown as the govt seems to be threatening.

We do agree that those with mental health will struggle, but we can't believe that people don't have any room to do some form of exercise. It takes no extra room to do squats than it does to just stand still for example

If people want to complain about their civil liberties being infringed because they can't go to the pub...

Imagine...

Explaining to a child that he or she will grow up without a mother or father because that parent was an NHS worker who got infected treating a person who needed to go to the pub.

Your civil liberty could kill someone.

Yes it is, but surely opening a window is safer than going out. Even people in bedsits could do squats which is exercise. Or jog on the spot. It's difficult times, everyone needs to compromise.

Opening a window doesn't compensate for adequate Vitamin D of which sunlight is the best source nor does it provide adequate supply of fresh healthy air. And you'd need to do a shit load of squats to compensate for good cardiovascular activity.

Jogging on the spot isn't feasible as your neighbours downstairs won't appreciate you effectively jumping up and down on their ceiling!!

Besides, there is no hard evidence that an enforced lockdown would have significant effect to be a reasonable and rational measure.

Yes it is, but surely opening a window is safer than going out. Even people in bedsits could do squats which is exercise. Or jog on the spot. It's difficult times, everyone needs to compromise.

Jogging on the spot isn't feasible as your neighbours downstairs won't appreciate you effectively jumping up and down on their ceiling!!

Besides, there is no hard evidence that an enforced lockdown would have significant effect to be a reasonable and rational measure."

If you are in a block of flats and neighbours have their windows open to you are probably closer to airborne germs than you would be if you went for a walk lol

If people continue to ignore advice I think we will have no alternative than to give the Army powers to Police and put the country in Lockdown! A few days of on the spot fines taken directly from benefits or wages will soon sort out the riff raff!

"You can't enforce advice. Staying indoors isn't compulsory yet. yeah people seem to think that people going outside are avoiding advice and they arent cxx

It's actual medical advice to get outside and have some exercise as it boosts the immune system which would help someone fight off the infection.

This is one reason why it's I don't think we should enter into a full lockdown as the govt seems to be threatening.

People will have to open windows and exercise in the house.

That ain't gonna do people's mental health any favours. Plus some people don't have the luxury of having the space to do so effectively.

Any exercise is better than none but hey, you are determined to look at the negatives. You may find a positive attitude may help you get through this challenging time better, but it's your life.

We will get back to doing squats and push ups and looking on the bright side of life.

There's plenty of evidence that distancing slows the spread.

I'm not actually being negative, just realistic. I do agree that people need to avoid crowded places as much as possible and practice safe distancing.

I'm concerned by the enthusiasm the govt appears to be showing towards taking away people's freedoms and liberties.

In addition to stopping the spread we need to consider the unexpected side effects (mental health, immune systems etc) as these could lead to problems down the line. It's pointless to lockdown totally only for the population to be released later in poor health.

Also there is the risk that after release from a total lockdown the infection rate spikes again as nobody has had the opportunity to build up an immunity/tolerance.

This is a severe flu virus and not the Black Death !

Most of us will get this virus (if we haven’t already had it) and will just feel ill like we have the bad flu.

However there are some people that this virus affects more badly than others, again similarly to the flu.

The problem is that the NHS has been neglected for years by both political parties in the correct allocation of funds i.e. we have more pen-pushers than doctors, nurses and equipment and this virus has caught the NHS and the government on the hop !

To suggest military lockdown of our towns and cities is absolutely bonkers, wonder how the government will pay back all the borrowing that they are taking out to try and protect jobs when we have 25 million on the dole next year !

All the government is trying to do is spread the spread of this virus so that the overstretched NHS can cope; which ultimately is the real problem long term and not just this virus.

Everyone needs to get a grip, stay indoors, only go to work or the food shops as necessary and if you spend leisure time outdoors then social distance yourselves as Boris as asked for.

Even the thick fuckwits bred during Tony Blairs ‘classless society years’ should understand that, surely !

GREAT (UNITED) don't these words have any meaning, like kids coughing in faces of officers trying to get them to disperse crowds of them, I would get them and take them to a hospital and show them a patient fighting for there life's and a dead patient, bring back the old days ruled by discipline cccc

I've seen no advice telling me to stay indoors permanently. Over the past 36 hours I've left the apartment to do half an hour's shopping at a quiet time of day and made sure I've stayed well away from others, bar the cashiers where it's pretty impossible to keep 2m away.

I've got enough food in for this week so next weekend I'll try and repeat the trick. Until the government tell me I have to stay indoors I'll continue to self-distance while getting outside and trying to get some air in the lungs. Hoping to play golf alone tomorrow where there will be no need for me to be within 50 yards of anyone in a wide open space. For the rest of the week I'll try and get out for a few long walks late in the evening or early morning, again staying well away from others.

Why are you so scared of the army being used? Rules of engagement will certainly not include shooting unarmed civvies in the streets and I highly doubt any who got put out on the streets would even be carrying gats. Where you may have a problem is when troops helping communities start being targeted by the enemy within of which there are many within certain demographics.

It’s a risk to put people who are meant to defend the country out there to have numbers hit by those going down and increasing the strain on the health services.

If the armed forces are on the streets it’ll be to help with logistics and medical treatment, not dispersing crowds or enforcing curfews.

"Ok interesting thread. I consider myself sane sensible and intelligent. I dismissed this initially then have watched it progress and get worse day by day. I’ve got 2 kids and just taken them out for a scoot. We had strict rules about staying away from people not touching anything etc. The sun was shining and we kicked a ball about. We had fun. Inside I was processing every threat, every person was a potential risk and yes it’s scary but we must carry on. Would I like to see army or police out with guns... no but I think a percentage of people just don’t get it ( despite the media barrage) and worse just don’t seem to care. These are the few that will affect the many. We live in dangerous times and we need sensible solutions on a day by day basis. Stay inside if you can... minimise the risk... work together as local community to keep older and vulnerable safe etc etc... this will pass we just need some common sense. "

The military can assist the men and women are trained to protect the queen and that she rules, against foreign and Rebellion, military hospitals a positive, most kids will be more interested in the equipment, we dealt with Northern Ireland affairs more volatile situation.

I am an optimist too. But there is a difference with disagreeing on how we handle this situation and disagree about the realities of the situation. I posted what the statistics are and you said you disagree with them. There could be some subtle disagreements with how they are collected etc, but my gut feeling is you were trying to just dismiss them outright as a way to dismiss the reality of the situation.

Errr.... No, no change of mind here. "

You said in this thread yesterday (please scroll back up), in capital letters that ABSOLOUTELY NOT' to the army coming in. Now you're saying yes to the army. That to us is a definite change of mind.

OK see what you mean, very happy to have their assistance with logistics etc. I am against them being used to attempt control the civil population. They are not trained for that and would probably not be comfortable doing it, just think Northern Ireland.

There will be those who will jump in and think it is a great idea, we are NOT China...!!
