As someone has said these local lockdowns dont do much do they, no body will stop doing things they want on a local lock down ( unles things are physically shut then obvioisly they will) but who remmebers them house parties in the last actual lockdown for that memorial day thing or what ever it was? People were past caring then and now people are even in worse situations regards money etc...

A local lockdown wont do much for numbers IMO, what do we think? People will literally just meet in houses instead of pubs

The local lock-down in Leicester worked. Near me in Northampton they were looking odds on for a lock-down a few weeks ago, but they had a massive awareness campaign and the infections came right down because people responded to it. The attitude of the local population is the main thing.

Daily numbers from Spain are not good at all. New cases still increasing and deaths are now increasing alarmingly too. Another 2-3 fold rise and the emergency services will likely be overwhelmed again.. and while that may sound like a very big increase needed, remember that it has already risen x50 fold from the base.

The exponential nature of growth could have us at this level much sooner than anyone realises.

France seems to be on a similar trajectory, and it wouldn't surprise me if most of Europe followed.

Worrying.

Another 30% daily jump in the record number of cases in Czech yesterday, up to over 2,100 now, with the previous record from Monday being 1,600. When you think in March, they were never getting more than 500 cases, it's a bit of a worry.

Liverpools dosent seem too botherd though thats my point, i personally dont see it changing much and even if it does ite all temporary, because as soon as things back open, infections go up ( obviously)

People will travel out of the partial lock downs as they did in full lock down, our police in Powys one of least populated counties in the country had the highest fine rates for people breaking full lock down rules. You just won't stop wombles, having their picnic supper at quayside or practicing their isle of man speed racing and the believing 50+ year old Lycra dressed cyclists he has the yellow jersey, also short and t-Shirt dressed mountaineer being brought down at 3am from Cader Idris complaining thier should have warning signs about changeable weather on mountains and he would have been ok. Wombles are wombles.

Imagine thinking (probably wanting knowing some people in this thread) the government could get away with implementing a national lockdown based on estimations. It would be a complete violation of civil liberties. Plus they would have to admit it was mostly due to their own failure in setting up a competent testing programme. We had months of lockdown to get things in order but apparently they’re gonna get it all sorted in two weeks? And now in this future, lockdown is still seen as our best option? Bean me up please Scotty.

We can’t keep going into lockdown, it’s not practical. There has to be another solution.

We need people to take responsibility and take it seriously, you can see from this thread that some won't and it undoes all the hard work of people that do.

It's obviously accelerating again and we need to not wait as we did last time. It shouldn't happen as quickly as it did where in a period of 2 weeks in March it was already too late, as we haven't got quarter of a million at Cheltenham, massive crowds at stadiums. Predicting that tipping point and making decisions will be key. The issue with that approach will be the naysayers looking at the death rates thinking why are we going into lockdown when it doesn't appear that bad... (n)

If and when we have another national lockdown (and perhaps across many countries) that they close the borders and that remains the case until a vaccine can be found or a treatment that will reduce the pressure for the hospitals/greatly reduce the chance of fatalities. We could also keep in place local travelling restrictions too. It's a crappy thing to even think about where your liberties to move around are curtailed, but I'd rather have that where local life perhaps can continue as normal than these boom or bust situations where as soon as a lockdown is over people act like complete idiots and start the clock to another eventual full blown lockdown.

You've got to hope that no one you care about catches it and has serious complications or worse from it then, else you might feel pretty bad about it afterwards.

We got this last time in spring, who knows what will happen in winter, covid+flu might be enough to finish off some in the I'm alright Jack age groups.
