I would have though they’ll simply extend it, and that all this talk of loosening restrictions is premature. I realise there are all sorts of talking heads throwing their tuppence worth in, no doubt including David Byrne, but the Government needs to cut that out if there’s no truth to it. Wales have already extended, haven't said for how long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by Nicola's "government of national unity" thing about going by the same medical advice, I'm pretty certain that's what'll happen across the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Saw my first group of wee guys smoking a joint when I was out running tonight. Lockdown would have been the greatest thing that ever happened when I was 16. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to see the Welsh statement being clearer. I.e. we are extending the lockdown in its present form/with the following changes to x date. Would be happy to see the Scottish Government doing likewise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) The UK is at least a couple of weeks behind other European countries with much stricter lockdowns. In these countries....such as Belgium, Holland, Germany....the curve is only beginning to flatten, and restrictions there will extend well into May. Anyone that thinks that the UK will (or even should) loosen the lockdown, is mad. We're only reaching the end of the beginning here, and instead of having live broadcasts giving people the impression that this is coming to an end, the government and media should be making people understand that this lockdown has weeks to go.....it'll probably be the end of May before some restrictions are lifted.

DeeTillEhDeh Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 BBC Scotland still running with the 100 medical professionals sign letter "story" - have they listed all those who signed the letter? Would be interesting to check out who else on it has political links. My bet is quite a few. I have no issue with Labour wanting to raise it as an issue - I do have a problem of them using supposedly independent surrogates to do their dirty work. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entering a dangerous time for the integrity of the lockdown as folks expectations start to change IMO. I felt when I had kids out for a walk today there was a bit of a shift in activity levels. Say my first obvious group of folk not giving a f**k, lots more dog walkers etc. Could just be decent weather, but I think this might start to come apart at the seams soon. I fear that in a couple of weeks we'll see a sharp spike in infection and death rates, and it will be because loads of folk will be going out over the Easter Weekend and totally ignoring everything. Avoid the shops this weekend! 3 minutes ago, Bob Mahelp said: The UK is at least a couple of weeks behind other European countries with much stricter lockdowns.

Yup. I don't think we're even close to being able to even start talk of relaxing measures, especially if loads of folk, as I fear, will totally ignore the measures this weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambie's Pigeon Feed Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) Everyone that got a letter saying they're vulnerable will have lockdown imposed for a lot longer and things will go back to normal in stages for others, but not for a significant period of time. 110,000 in this vulnerable group in Scotland. For others on immuno suppressents who haven't received a letter, everyone else in this group has them but the government checking with the NHS who is on what medication and who might be at risk takes time.

madwullie Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Given how much of a f**k up the govt have made of this, they'd be fucking mental to even consider being (one of) the first European countries to lift the lockdown. We're already looking likely to be the worst hit and we were slow, relatively speaking, to lockdown in the first place. No way they'll risk being guinea pigs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've made a right arse of it. It'll be at least another 3 weeks before they should be considering lifting the lockdown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
