They’re one of the few business still allowed to open in Germany, so I’m guessing yes

 

I suppose haircuts can be a form of personal hygiene too as much as an aesthetic activity. Still should try and get your hair cut at home if possible imo if you are trying to avoid social contact.

Utterly ridiculous announcement, Boris really is spineless. Don't ADVISE, DO, otherwise people won't stop. There is no sense in keeping pubs and clubs open at all at this stage.

 

I can’t believe they’ve said practically nothing. It’s sickening. Maybe it’s just because I’ve had the day from Hell but I can’t believe there are still no enforcements. Loads of kids were missing today because parents just wouldn’t send them in. I’ve started compiling work for classes on google classroom but the atmosphere at school is nuts. I could be off with stress before long.

 

There were literally five people in my class today lmao. We've been given a lot of work from home activities for our training day on Wednesday so I would guess, if there's any sense, that this will be the last full/half week, but I can't trust this government with sense...

 

I travel almost 90 minutes on public transport to get to my work (I've been trying to leave, though this has thrown a bit of a spanner in the works), I've been washing my hands/using sanitiser several times a day and avoiding most other contact, but it just won't be healthy for me to keep coming in for too much longer (especially as the borough I work has fourteen cases, thankfully only one where I live).

Primark now closed throughout all Europe!!

 

Darn! That's my route to a cheap alternate to toilet paper closed :(

If this pattern holds up across Germany it would explain the statistical anomaly that is Germany’s death rate

It's hard to have anything other than a complete lack of confidence in this utterly hapless government. I genuinely despise them.

The hell does that latest bulletin even mean? What constitutes "essential" social contact??

 

 

Procreation. Like, for the continuation of the species. I bet that's it.

Everything’s being cancelled 😭

 

While I agree, I’ll still cry

well apparently theatres in London have been forced to close now, my parents went off tonight to try and get to see Hamilton before their inevitable closure but were too late as they went only to find out it'd been cancelled.

Being genuine for a second it's things like people working in the NHS that obviously need to keep going.

I'm annoyed that the government haven't just said that places MUST close. I really can't understand why unless they are putting the interests of the banks and insurance companies above the interests of individual businesses.

 

 

edit - although I guess there could be some sort of social science at play here. I guess people may be less resentful of it happening if they feel like they are partly choosing it as opposed to being forced.

I also lost my events job today *.*

 

Things we love to see

Part of it is for £££ reasons, looking to protect economy as well but I think they’re reluctant to impose isolation now as we’re probs gonna be in it for a long time which will become hard to enforce.

It's a part of Tory ideology - survival of the fittest and individualism.

Grand National has been cancelled.

well Trump just said if the US does its job, they should be able to "wash through" this virus by July or August

He also didn't think it was a big deal last week so we shall see!

If I was really cynical I would say it might be to do with the argument 'If our economy is even slightly better than some of the big EU countries by December it will put us in a stronger position for getting a Brexit deal.'

 

But I really don't think our government would stoop that low during a matter of life and death.

Boris probably wants the poor and vulnerable dead really. He doesn't care about a single human being.

Yep!!!! Louder please for the people at the back.

 

Looks like I'm working from home indefinitely. I'm currently at the point where I'm exploring the outer limits of boredom and slowly going insane (well, more insane).

My holiday to Benidorm this Friday got cancelled. They gave me the option of postponing the holiday, flying to Marrakech instead of a full refund
