Oh, I'm sure we will do in the long run. Just a shame so many people are so keen to ignore the reality and make matters worse in the short term.

We've all got families we're going to miss. I've got 3 nephews I see 3-4 times a week and it's gonna be fucking horrible. However, nothing is more important to me than my families and friends so if I don't get to see them for 4-6 weeks while this is brought under control then so be it. I just hope to god EVERYONE tows the line here but some people are so fucking stupid and selfish I sadly fear it will take longer than expected to get back to anything near normality.

Ok it may be longer than that but thinking logically (which seems a big issue for some on here) IF people abide by the lockdown the number of new cases should drop dramatically. Assuming I've read and understood the infection/isolation periods correctly.

And no, things won't work if people have the "why should we comply?" sort of attitude.

-Matt

Matt.... Most of it, explain it to me, I am listening..... Michael"

OK, lets try slowly.

Each person on average infects 3 other people at the moment. That is the current rate. Known as R0.

That means that if I go out and about as usual, I infect 3 other people. Those 3 other people infect another 3 people each. That is a total now, of 13 people (1 + 3 + 3*3). Those 9 can go on and infect another 3 people each. ie 27 people. So now we have (1 + 3 + 3*3 + 3*3*3) = 40 people in total... then 121... then 364... then 1093... see... it starts to go up dramatically.

After 10 levels above we now have 88,573 people.

But what would happen if instead of 3 people infected each level, it was only 2? What if at each level, 1 person stayed at home, or didn't go out?

Then after 10 level we'd only have 2,047 total people infected. A massive difference.

At the current rate of infection, we are going to massively overload the number of ICU beds, ventilators, staff we have. And that is not just a problem for those that get the disease, but anyone else who needs treatment for anything else at the time too. You have a heart attack? Sorry, tough luck. You die. You involved in a serious car crash and need surgery? Sorry, you die. You have a bad asthma attack? Allergic reaction? You die. There simply will not be the medical facilities available to deal with these situations.

So far the government has asked people to "socially distance" and it has not worked. People who don't think that this applies to them and don't understand or care that it affect everyone continued going out.

Now the government has had to take the next step up and mandate further lock down. Because some idiots couldn't control themselves.

he has said he will still pick her up and drop her off as he is driving past on his way to work. I dont know how this stands but I'm not going to stop him if he wants to pick her up... technically she could walk from ours to his for exercise across the fields..He lives by himself. So don't know how it will be.

How many people need to die before you think people should stop being knobheads and try to protect the more vulnerable? "

That's the point of a pandemic. It does take the vulnerable. It's fighting nature to stop that. Thinking "Oh we have to save granny" is emotional non-scientific selfish thinking. Yeah I get that people care about relatives, I do too, but we should be thinking of the greater good.

As someone currently in isolation, and running low on fresh stuff, I still see no reason why I would be going outside right now. I will not risk spreading something I may develop to other people. Shame all my family is down with it too so cant even get them to drop it off (the Joy's of having a parent caring for all our kids).

Everyone keep safe and be smart.

Especially when we were already understaffed in that department. Not even including that "flu pandemic" has been on the national risk register since at least 2008 and is down as one of the most disruptive and most likely events to happen.

Bulk buying will not be allowed. Supermarkets will only allow a certain number of people into the shops at a time. They can restock easier. There will be tape outside the shops and you step forward one see a at a time once someone comes out. This is happening in Spsin etc and the shelves are well stocked

His point was that the numbers doesnt justify bringing the world to a economic diaster and ruin when not even 0.1% of the population his it.

I don't have a problem with western medicine. I do think we keep people alive with extraordinary measures when we shouldn't and a time of crisis is not a time to get sentimental and emotional about it.

I know my view is unusual, but for me the 'we have to save everyone' is unrealistic and...Well just doesn't make sense. And I find my inability to understand where people's actions are coming from frustrating.

I get what he's saying and where he's coming from. It may sound cold. I also think your response is more subjective than objective too.

Is a subjective response any better than an objective one?

The world carried on for months as they watched the Hutus and Tutsis murder each other without interfering until nearly 3 million had died. Of course it didn't warrant it because it didn't effect us, it had no bearing on the stock exchange so no wealth or economy was being effected other than their own. Wasn't important because they were of different colour, race and were from darkest African corner.

It took 1.6 million to be killed and a week before it got the BBC news. 6.7 million buried (population of Ireland N and S). I'd say most here didn't stop in their tracks to think, there were Grandfather's, Grandmother's, father's, mother's, sons, daughters , families, villages, communities wiped out. Atrocities to children and women that would make Ur hairs curl.

Those who survived watch the west looking in on them like at a cinema.

I'm afraid we're all guilty of being cold and seemingly showing lack of compassion. It doesn't mean we don't have it, maybe just a different perspective and that shouldn't be just assumed as wrong.

What is needed more than anything is showing compassion towards those who are reacting or responding differently. Their circumstances are different, background is different, life experiences are different. Views are different too. Respect that and be big enough to be compassionate towards everyone.

Think of it this way.if you have a large bag of smarties and are told 3 could kill you, are you gonna eat the some and hope you kiss those 3? I dont think so...

Well, we could have done things differently and come to a different outcome. We could have tested and tracked earlier. We could have taken heed of what was going on in China and in Italy.

But if what you mean is "the British population would always have contained idiots that would have fucked it up" then I think I agree with you. Brexit showed that... now people might start to realise.

What do you do when your divorced parents are at complete polar opposites?

My dad has a depleted immune system due to recent chemo and radiotherapy, my mum is being completely ignorant to the point I am finding it hard to even speak to her 'it's only flu' she says and if I get it I get it. What the fuck do I do? Keep my mouth shut? My mother even said forcefully that I don't have asthma purely because I was diagnosed at aged 26, 10 years since I left their care! It is infuriating for me yet my dad has become the rock of my life NOW! And I couldn't have done without him, these last few years, it's like total role reversals, I'm sort of left in turmoil without trying to upset anyone, but ffs it is difficult, yet I will admit I am sitting firmly in my dads camp!

It does unfortunately.

Wo we share custody though. She is meant to be with me mon to Thursday and him the rest of the week. So her staying home.. isnt that simple

If you're at home 7 days a week as part of the lockdown then it is that simple. Yes, it's going to be hard but unfortunately parental custody agreements go out the window. I have a lot of sympathy for everyone in this situation but it won't be forever, people need to be sensible, try and explain things the best they can to their kids and ensure that Facetime, Skype, WhatsApp etc are utilised. he has said he will still pick her up and drop her off as he is driving past on his way to work. I dont know how this stands but I'm not going to stop him if he wants to pick her up... technically she could walk from ours to his for exercise across the fields..He lives by himself. So don't know how it will be. "

There are going to be many people in your situation. I empathise. The only advice I can suggest is that if she or whatever household she is in gets symptoms of the virus, she stays put for 14 days.

So you’ve never accepted any western medicine I assume?

Vaccines?

If you got a cut would you just let yourself die rather than accept antibiotics?

It's and interesting point you make. It's interesting how so many who advocate saving every life wouldn't disagree with evolution and the survival of the forest as standard belief too.

Evolution explains how life on earth arrived at where it is today

It should never be part of a belief system or a way to conduct your life

All things evolve but traditional Darwinism has been debunked. "

I didn't mention Darwinism

He struck upon the theory and you might say it evolved from there

"We needed to do something, but what is being done is too late !

I am sure Boris and his family and all his friends will be fine, deliveries of food, and no need to stray from number 10 he will be fine.

what the hell I am going to do for food or work I have no idea !

no work, no money despite Boris's plans; ah well if the virus don't get me and starvation don't get me I will be in prison for trying to eat !

You are in prison"
don't worry about prison. They will let you out on human rights issues. Fucking joke of a justice system

"The country has seen worse and has came back from worse.

The world has not seen worse let alone Britain."

It absolutely has... there are a number of examples from worse times in the world, where there wasn’t the medicine, science and technology to combat these things.

Have some faith that the people that have spent years of their lives studying these sorts of things can help.

Despite the overwhelming negative issue there are a lot of positives to take out of the humanity of it all. There are good people out there focused on making things better.

Evolution does not explain how we got here. In fact the rate of evolution proves that's not how we got here.

The evolution of the human brain could not have occurred in the time that it supposedly did.

I totally get the maths. I just think that number of deaths doesn't justify this reaction. In the long run pandemics are good for populations.

That's cold.

Please explain how the economic fallout from this benefits anyone? How many lost man hours will this cost? How much poorer will all be after this is over?"

Genetically modified food came about due to an ever increasing overpopulation. It isn't science fiction. So cold - no, you simply cannot be emotive about that fact.

It's the fact that we know about our kinship with every other living thing that means we have vaccines and will be able to combat this particular virus...which just so happened to have fairly recently evolved too

"Panic measures..... No guarantee it will improve the situation and no exit strategy....meanwhile we go on destroying the economic life of the country....

And not only are people allowing their rights to be taken away, they are handing it to them on a silver platter.

Scary times ahead indeed and not because of the coronavirus.

Somthing far more sinister is going on.

If people thing we are ever returning to normal from this, then think again.

Now we have shown how easy it is to divide us, seperate us, take away our rights (heck they didnt even do that, we just laying down and handing it over) life as we knew it isnt ever coming back.

No it is not irrelevant.

Guy posted further up, no work, no money equals no food.

Several months of any lock down will result in millions in the same situatiin resorting to drastic measures.

"I really dont believe how many dickheads post on here.Stay in dont catch it then you cant spread it how can people still not understand that is beyond belief."

1. I understand it

2. I don't want to catch it.

3. I don't want to infect anyone else

4. I do not have food to last 14 days never mind three months

5. I cannot afford to stockpile and its not fair to others even if I could.

6 Boris says people will get food delivered; yeh right like I said him and his cohorts will.

so bare in mind that whilst what you say is correct (excluding the insult) it is NOt practical for everyone - me included.

with very elderly parents 100 miles away south, and a young son living alone 80 miles north and now cannot get home, and I can do nothing to help any of them, and I am fucking sure Boris and his Tory gang wont, but then nor would labour, they are all fine in their ivory towers !

I went to morrisons tonight at 5pm, no milk, no fresh meat, no frozen food other than ice cream, no bread, no loo rolls, no soap, no detergent, no cans of veg, no pasta no rice …. and this is the same all over the country I am sure … yeh I can go out for food, but since I will have no wage, what the fuck am I paying for it with after the end of this month !

No. It was always going to come to this. "

But now what is needed is to slow the spread then the NHS can cope , it’s as simple as that , it will spread , it will spread wide and far , it will also accelerate , the more we isolate the slower it spreads , the slower it spreads the better chance the NHS has to cope , if you go out and willingly socialise you are selfish it’s as simple as that !

Well, we could have done things differently and come to a different outcome. We could have tested and tracked earlier. We could have taken heed of what was going on in China and in Italy.

-Matt"

It's possible that Britain is governed by the party that historically is white, male, educated and arrogant (think victorian times). They would want their own scientists to guide them not those from other countries. It's a "we know best" cos we're rich and educated. What the populous does is irrelevant. So the govt would have been aware of some non-compliance.

No. It was always going to come to this.

The start of squashing the curve began before today. The govt has gradually been doing it with previous measures. Which is why it was always going to come to this. It has been a calculated strategy with perhaps some measures brought forward a day or two as non-compliance has been outstanding.
