Good on him for helping out
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
Happy to have been re-called by my company and soon home with my family again. Although I understand and agree being put in quarantine on my return it's still going to suck arse. It feels like my backwater country is on top of things though, I did not expect that.
I'll be honest and say that I'm relieved I'll be leaving tomorrow because watching the rest of Europe fight this virus, I don't fully understand what the plan is here? Cafes, nightclubs, restaurants all full to the brim on weekends. Feels like the Swedish government are sticking their head in the sand and hoping for the best or maybe the economy takes priority over lives? Either way I can't wait to get home and be with my family.

The key is not to be a dickhead.
Its what brought about this lockdown in the first place.
Yep, I work for numerous companies and they are all still operating.
I don't know where people are getting information from, but the misinformation in this thread can be ridiculous at times.
Obviously but if you were being a dickhead first time then literally nothing is stopping you doing it again. The speech will have no impact on those doing that stuff anyway
For anyone worried about police catching them on a second jog in the afternoon.
Btw the way I don't want the tories to increase the numbers of police but it's worth pointing out.

"Sorry there is no pasta, I have no strikers so is same thing".
Colleague from work was returning home in the car and literally got pulled over by the police & asking where they were going to. Good to see the police stepping up quickly.
"If the board supported me, you'd have a feast. As it is, here's a Twix."
Not many boomers still working. Most'll be retired or close to it.
This thread is a prime example of selfishness in this country, loads of you asking about going out 3 or 4 times a day when we have been told not to, wanting haircuts, wanting this and wanting that.
Just follow instructions for once in your fecking life.

The vast majority of people will follow the rules. Those same people were doing it before anyway. The issue is those idiots who before were ignoring it are still going to ignore it as it is not enforceable. It's right to question it I think.
His speech still relies on people to not be morons. But morons are still going to be morons unless there is a genuine way to stop them. The only enforceable thing I could tell from his speech was no more than 2 people/household and closing of non essential shops
Literally this, if it wasn’t a dire situation we wouldn’t be in lockdown. They don’t want us like this.
The more i think about it, the more it could be enforced easily. Police only need to hold fort at key junctions on the road network and given how quiet it'll be they can spot repeat offenders easily from an exercise perspective. Not hugely likely, but not impossible.
I work in commercial banking and know quite a few construction firms. The only reason they're reducing work is if workers are self isolating.
(I don't see it as misinformation, I see it as deliberate agendas.)
The special delivery one.
Well whatever it is, in future when people on here whine about media/social media spreading false information, maybe they should remember this thread.
I'm in the process of buying a new house was supposed to be getting the keys on Fri. Got fridge freezer, couch, internet etc. All ordered.
Have no idea what will happens with all that ...I cant pay a mortgage on a house I'm not in!
In fact theres a chain so the seller will be stuck in it and so on. Wish they'd allowed something like that to be completed. Isn't it contractual/legally binding given the missives are concluded. What a nightmare all round .

Yeah we have been told that its essential that we go to work from our boss. We work in the semi-conductor industry so its not essential business
I wonder if car mechanics and tyre and exhaust outlets can stay open?
Depends what the electronics are used for, they may be needed for medical devices.
Does UK get free premium pornhub now too?
Asking for a friend.

Why the feck wouldn't they just announce this in a press conference? At least then we may have had more clarification over the situation.

Just rewatched it. I felt he said 'you should' too many times instead of 'you must'.
Mate it specifically says no silliness in the thread title.Limit the shops that can open and let's be honest if the whole country is on lockdown I suspect the daily business slows down considerably
Good chance that will be essential I‘d guess, anything that can be used in important infrastructure will be classed as essential.
No Fauci in the briefing?
The world is a hell of a world.
They’d have to. There’s still going to be lots of people needing to use cars.
nope not one. Used for fitbits, cars etc no medical devices.
Fecking hell, he is going to lift the restrictions. "This country was not build to be shut down"

It's not enough. People will keep taking the piss.
There should be two 'Exercise Hours' a day - like, 12-1 and 8-9 etc for people to walk dogs / kids and so on.

I wasn't entirely serious with that, as I didn't get a serious answer. I'm still unsure what they will do here as every time I ask my friend about it, who is in the trade, he is adamant that they won't close the sites as it would cause too many financial implications with contracts etc. I'm interested to see what happens now.
That would just mean that 60 million people would be outside at exactly the same time. Not exactly what is required here.
