Lots of people are suffering financially and emotionally but surely lifting the lock down is not the answer. Well I think spread faster with lock down but all it has done made this thing 10 times worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been a whole lot worse, and still could be, without the lock down. Those of us that have not lost a loved one can thank our lucky stars as well as the governments measures. Those of us that have needed medical treatment, or knows someone that has, can be thankful for the lock down that the NHS hasn’t been completely overwhelmed.

I had a text from Barclays this morning saying "any personel overdraught betweem May 1st till July 9th with be interest free upto £750". Never had an overdraught in my life, Aint starting now either.

Without a lockdown, people with the virus would have been on the streets passing it on to others nearby. With the lockdown, most of those infected are staying at home and not passing it on. Some will still be going to the shops, but certainly not worse than before - with social distancing, the spread is reduced. Deliveries are left by the door - no physical contact and a safe distance is almost always maintained. It's almost impossible for the virus to spread more during a lockdown than it would without one, as the number of new cases has shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4ev6is Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 You still unpack your shopping and person who packed for you could be ill coughed all over shopping if wash tins and bottles and wiped down any packageing that only way stop it from spreading through your house hold.

The infection rate was always going to speed up mate. The lockdown has slowed that rate and enabled the health service to cope. I can feel your pain and your anxious to get back normal as soon as possible but it’s just not right yet. You need to be strong and understand that this is not about individual circumstances, it’s about the greater good . God forbid someone close to you gets it and something you didn’t do contributed to it. We are all on your side but you need to think a little deeper sometimes. All the best to you and your family mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have to send them your account number and PIN for them to activate this new scheme?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is saying there is zero risk to having your shopping picked, packed and delivered by someone else but the risks are much much lower than vulnerable people shopping for themselves.

That's when washing your hands is helpful @B4ev6is. Stay away from people. Wash your hands as often as you can because you are touching stuff that could have the virus on it. Have faith, you will get to the other side of this and you will be back at the football. You'll enjoy it ten times as much because you know what it's like when there's no football in your life.
