Do you think the UK are being stupid not locking down?, like spain, italy etc.

So the English government seem to be very... slow and a little silly to seem the least. What are your thought on how it's being 'handled'.

I'm from Scotland, so I'm aware it's worse south of myself and it's not as bad where I am. However it's really not looking great. I'm not giving in to the panic and all that and I certainly wont horde toilet roll XD

I really cannot understand Johnson holding back until it gets worse. He seems to surround himself by people who are not going to disagree with him. My own son caught it via work in London. He's improving but was denied a test and simply told to isolate himself. The thing is - how can they claim they're basing their inaction on statistics when they obviously haven't them?

@alan20 Your son is infected!? 😕

@alan20 Hope he gets better soon, What does your son do for work?

Moonpenny · F

@alan20 He'll have to succumb soon. And then it will be unplanned. No wonder people are panic-buying... because we're all blundering about in the dark like headless chickens.
Hope your son is on the mend!

@helenS He is and is a chronic asthma sufferer. But seems to be getting over it, no thanks to our Government. His partner is now going down with it. Ten years of Tories underfunding the NHS ! I think that might be keen to not draw attention to.

@alan20 I'm terribly sorry to hear that. How horrible. I feel for you. 🌷

@helenS That's very nice of you, Helen. Hopefully the worst is over.

@Moonpenny Thanks. Most countries do seem to have concluded it's best to intervene early.

@alan20 If anyone gets it wrong, it's Boris!

alan20 · M

@Moonpenny I also think he has built up a serious credibility problem, to put it mildly.

Moonpenny · F

@alan20 It's called 'ego'

@alan20 agree with you about boris dont think he has got a clue, or knows what to do , he is just relying on it to slow down and do nothing untill it really hits us and then panic

@alan20 We all wish your son the best! 🙌 I had childhood asthma and it was certainly no picnic in a very humid climate. 😔
