Same problem in just about every major city - remember Trump wanted a May Day-style tank parade on the National Mall? And they had to bring them in on transporters and just park them in front of him? Even Moscow only has that one side of Red Square set up for tanks to parade, they put them on and take them off the transporters at either end.

I mean this is without even getting into standard utility lines and how shallow (and poorly aggregated) they are - water, power and even gas mains collapse all the time under HGV traffic.

Except St Petersburg, according to the acclaimed urban infrastructure documentary Goldeneye

Mark's and Spark's Inversneckie food section looking hilariously bare. Also saw a shop with a poster in the window explaining "FOR YOUR SAFETY WE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING CASH" which was amusing.

On the other hand HMV are still open and accepting cash so I got a Mother's Day gift sorted AND my fave GY!BE record on vinyl

So does this mean we are going to test people and find out who they may have infected after it peaks?

You would expect the epidemic to come down. Then you can move to a phase where you test and trace.

Yeah they are just making poo poo up.

If they wanted to save lives they would have locked the country down day 1 and mobilised the army/police to deliver food and other supplies.

Instead we're doing this half assed bullshit to protect the economy.

People are getting a little annoying regarding italy (not specifically this thread), pointing out that the cases are still rising. These cases must have been infected before the lockdown. The only other option is that the lockdown has done NOTHING. Which makes no sense. From a country to go from mingling freely to almost completely isolated would have to have some effect. So no leveling off of new cases has to mean we're still seeing old cases. The pessimist in me is telling me i'm a fool and that the virus is airborne and/or transdimensional and goes through walls but i'm ignoring it for now.

Well he's not wrong. People are staying away from each other. There will be some slowing of infection rates. Just not enough.

it would be more reassuring if these people weren't announcing things we already knew or that other countries have been doing for weeks, like it's new information or something. I'm getting very strong "don't contradict the PM" vibes off these press conferences

I just found out that the Netherlands is also doing herd immunity, and when trying to explain why this wasnt a terrible idea their health minister collapsed from "exhaustion" and has now resigned.
