What about if you have a dog? Don't they get walks?

 

No. Expressly forbidden. If they catch you, you get fined.

I thought they could go out for just shopping with people being allowed in a few at a time. How are they getting food then?

 

 

What about services like rubbish collection? A build-up will attract rats.

Allowed out to go shopping or for essential work ONLY. No walking dogs.

so they decided to cancel the party i was going to next friday. it would have more than 1k people I assume so I guess it makes sense :(
I’m sure they’ll be fine for a little while...

That's lowkey ridiculous though. My dog has been trained to only pee and poo on grass, he'd suffer so much :')

I'm sure if he was really desperate he'd do it anywhere. Ours prefers grass but will go in the back yard which is stone.

The thinking seems to be that a lot of kids would be sent to grand-parents if their parents work so may pass it on to them, the most vulnerable group, so closing schools may just defeat it's purpose. At school they're not visiting older people as much. Surely the other countries have considered this too?

 

The kids will be seeing grandparents anyway but if they’re not in school, they’re less likely to come across anyone who has it and get infected. Most kids are fine staying indoors and they all socialise online anyway. You’re also forgetting that staff at schools may have older relatives they will come into contact with. I don’t know why you’re convinced we must stay open given it won’t affect you at all.

 

The governments hand may be forced anyway. Their guidance has been that awful and pointless that people are already taking things into their own hands to protect their families and it won’t be long before parents start keeping their kids at home.

 

I trust the judgement of the rest of the world over that of Boris.

I'm not convinced you should stay open and have never said that. I actually think they should be closed from tomorrow.

Someone on DS asking if all restaurants are forced to close here, would that include McDonald's, Burger King, Nandos, KFC etc. I would think so, anywhere that you sit inside to eat.

 

Takeaways would be very busy. You could catch it whilst queueing there though!

He's pretty healthy for his age but this is obviously a worry.

 

Yeh true, hope they stay well.

Not as good as giving them a walk but you can always play ball with your dog in the garden to give them exercise. You are quite safe from coronavirus in your garden as it is outside, unless the garden is very small and the neighbours are outside.

How daft are people. Honestly starting to be a bit annoyed with the amount of people not getting that quarantine means quarantine. (You would think that wouldn't be rocket science for the Brexit means Brexit crowd...)

 

Yes, no restaurants, no fast food, no shopping, no "but what about". It is to keep vulnerable people safe! Anne Frank didn't have Netflix and whole libraries to read from the comfort of her own sofa.

There's a thread on Mumsnet about how people are turning on each other in supermarkets. A woman saying her hubby's a security guard and he's having to throw aggressive men out of the shops, women pulling other women's hair over loo rolls,. It's the worst he's ever seen and he can only see it getting worse when we go in to lockdown. Police will be needed then. People telling anyone coughing they should be at home not out shopping. Society is starting to break down. One woman with no loo roll at home got the last pack and got abuse from a man with his trolley full of it.

 

Security, heavily outnumbered, had to try to break up a huge brawl at a Tesco Extra customer service counter over loo rolls, as police vans rushed to the scene. That was on Sky News. Several arrests for public disorder and store closed by police.

 

 

Reports of people buying 10 loaves and dozens of eggs each.

That's sensible though. A lot of the people going to supermarkets who are coughing are unbelievably selfish. Most people have family members who can get their shopping for them if they have a cough.

 

Supermarket security guards should be monitoring customers for symptoms and turning people away who show symptoms such as coughing.

Some people have hayfever at this time of year or just a tickle in their throat? Doesn't mean they have Corona :lol:

That's a bit silly how can they tell, people who smoke often cough as well -_-

I suppose so, which is why it is so hard to stop the spread of it without banning everyone who has a cough, which could cause starvation amongst those who have no family members to get food for them if they have a cough even not caused by the coronavirus.

A good point about the US. Remember most people have guns there so what will happen if there are shortages, particularly food. Not just brawls but maybe people shot too.

Yes, sadly I have realized its an idea that would decline the spread of the virus but could lead to deaths from starvation and poverty :(

 

I read that UV light can stop spread of viruses, maybe they should introduce UV lights to supermarkets - but of course the problem is it can cause skin cancer if overused :(
