    Yes they should test. Would love to know why they don't. Not enough tests to be given? Trying to hide the stats?

    If we do nothing? What is being close to lockdown? And I think we will be in lockdown within the next few days.

    The problem is that they don't know what will happen next. As I said before they need to make a list of what should close and what needs to stay open. No excuses for anyone. Everything will change weekly at least. At times they will need to be more strict. Others they need to loosen a bit. But...

    Until the numbers go back up then the restrictions would be set again. But each time it would be better than before as more people will be immune to it. That is unless it mutates.

    Do you really think that is what the plan is?

    Nobody knows how long it will last. Nobody knows how many are infected. But one thing for sure. The 28 days mentioned will only be the start. All you have to do is read between the lines. Schools look shut until September at least. They didn't postpone exams but they cancelled them. But they...

    Yes we will find out soon. The main problem wasn't how long we took. It was the amount of idiots ignoring every bit of advice. If everyone would have done as asked we could have kept close to normality for much longer.

    So should we just have gone into lockdown before hardly anyone got the virus? Most people are OK when they get it. It is hard to decide. We can't stay in lockdown indefinitely. But we still can't play God with people's lives.

    Not looked into it but thought that if the government paid the majority of the wage the employer could pay the rest. But yes keeping jobs is top importance.

    But what would it be like if we had locked down weeks ago? Hardly any cases so when we finally get let out again we would have been in the same position. It looks like lockdown until the cases vastly reduce. Remove lockdown. When it looks like hospitals are getting full again time to lockdown...

    Thought 80% was covered by the government.

    Yes it is mainly working. Hardly any vehicles go past our house now. As long as it is filled out before you get stopped and you are on the direct route you are OK. So what are would you be OK to have paper? Very good idea but might create difficulties. At least anyone can get their hands on...

    That is why it needs to be made law. Look at how publicly Sports Direct tried to stay open when they knew shops had to close that didn't sell essentials. There needs to be a list that states the only type of companies that can remain open.

    The paper one is mainly working in France. Very easy to do and now the fines are higher most people do as they are told. And the wife said yesterday that it is now prison for persistent offenders. I suppose that could be for those who can afford to pay the latest highest fine of €1,000.

    You can also hand write them. What a lot of people are doing is getting a copy and filling them out in pencil. It is what the wife is doing. Her neighbour gave her a few copies when they first brought them out. You have to put the date and tick the box on what you are doing. So then they can...

    It will be in about 2 to 3 days if it continues to mirror what France has done. At the moment there isn't a lot to stop us from travelling about. We have been told not to and nothing else. They have no clue where we have been or why as things are. It was a few days after the French were told to...

    No idea. But in France they have allowed garages to stay open so people can keep their cars on the road.

    And this is just the start. I have argued with the wife and we are not even in the same country. It has really got to her and she has a large garden for her and the kids. Feels bad about them not being able to go anywhere.
