Why hasn’t London locked down?

[SimonMac]

They may not have the official announcement but London was eerily quiet yesterday, I even managed to get a seat on the tube. The coughing fit helped as no one wanted to be near me

[Paralytic]

London isn't an island.

In Italy they locked down one region in the North so people fled resulting in them locking down the entire country.

Do many people in London realise there is life outside the M25?

yes, we do

[Lost It]

Do you realise how many people on zero hours contracts keep the place running?

The government has no plan for covering the costs of forcing people to stop working. No plan for child care once the schools close.

I thought looking after your own offspring was called parenting. I quite understand people that have kids to get more benefits might not want to look after their offspring all the time, it isn't their lifestyle...

But I would prefer that I looked after mine rather than some stranger.

Are you saying you don't think children should ever be sent to school?

And it rains a lot. And what's with all the silly accents...?


The lockdown is coming, and there are no supermarket delivery slots for the next month. We do have one booked for next week, so it looks like we'll have to stockpile...
