I bet the Venn diagram for people stockpiling bogroll and hand sanitizer, have "keep calm and carry on" soft furnishings, crockery or whatever and voted for Brexit is pretty much a goddamn circle.

Will england be on lockdown soon?
Will there be any chance of going abroad this summer?
Will there be any chance of going abroad this summer?
I was going to explain something that has been patiently explained by myself and many others a million times already on this thread, but why bother? Some people just don't want to hear it...
If you want to know why this is bad just wait a week or two. Cause with the measures the UK government have (not) put in place, unfortunately you are almost certainly about to find out...
What they are doing.
They need to keep hammering out the message because this thread alone is evidence that a lot of people aren't paying attention.
They are telling you that this containment phase will not last forever.
They're telling you that they will then move into the delaying phase.
What does this mean? It means that it's not possible to stop this happening. We will be where Italy is now. Maybe 3-4 weeks if we're lucky?
People asking why they've not shut everything down yet? They're operating according to best practice, playing for time. They try and contain as long as possible and that slows things down. When that fails, as it must in a society like ours, then you can role out the social distancing measures to, again, play for time. They can't keep those going forever, but they need to use whatever time they can get to let the vaccine process proceed whilst they ramp up any and every system they have to cope with what could be 2 million hospitalisations and sadly many deaths.
At the same time, they need to make sure that going into the winter months when the regular flu hits, that we're not at peak COVID19.
Hopefully all that and more is in hand.
China has acted with the full force of a repressive, controlling regime and that approach looks to be winning. We will have to see how the modern western liberal democracy can approach this, because the virus doesn't care what political system we live in.
I can't blame them tbh. I haven't personally done it beyond baby milk powder, but I have no problem with people not trusting the government on this.
We're an island nation - if this thing mutated and went berserk we'd be well and truly knackered.
Paying the price for allowing half a million Chinese settling into northern Italy, with tens of thousands returning from China in late February.

Well that’s just company policy. It would have been rude for him not to when I was ordering my McChicken nuggets.
