Pesky Splinter posted:Yeah, it's so vague as to be meaningless. My mate's boss is already telling him he'll need to go in to work and has sent him a letter to show police to prove he's a key worker. This essential key work? Facilities at an office that has been closed for a week already.

I give it a week before they realise this is meaningless. People will take this as a challenge or find every exception/loophole they can muster.

Like as long as the majority of people obey this it will probably be enough to flatten the curve. We're not trying to completely stop the virus in two weeks, just keep the number of cases at least within touching distance of the ability of the NHS to cope.

Gwaint posted:poo poo. Seriouspost: just do it. Odds are good you won't even see a police, because we don't have any, and even if you do, these instructions aren't any clearer to them than they are for us. Who exactly are they supposed to be stopping? And from doing what? How do they tell without stopping everyone?

Non essential deliveries replaced with an ad hoc distributed exercise network of joggers and cyclists gradually relaying goods across the nation. Thankfully I have my deliveroo outfit I signed up for and never used. Basically a free pass

If it's a relatively big shop, Google Maps is your friend here - look it up and it'll give you an approximation of how busy the shop is.

"It will be banned to shop for anything beyond essentials" So does this mean supermarkets will be stopping selling things that aren't essentials? And what the gently caress is 'essential'? Can I buy crisps? Booze? Top up my power meter at a newsagent?

Facilities at an office that has been closed for a week already. My place manufactures non-essential plastics, and really should have shut down operations a week ago, but the ballache is this announcement has come just as I'm going to start nights, so me and my coworkers have no loving clue and won't find out what is happening for the forseeable future until the day shift come in. And I'm due to start in like an hour.

RockyB posted:Agreed. Well, this was necessary and overdue honestly. But yeah, so vague as to be unenforceable. 90% of people will justify doing whatever they want to do under the list of exceptions provided. You see it even on these forums where people have been constantly revealing that they've popped down the shops for a handful of things, but it's fine because they're concerned about how crazy other people are acting. A walk around town is exercise, my boss said my job is essential, my household includes the guest wing and servants quarters etc.

It'll be interesting to see what dynamics this adds to shopping. Like are we going to see another sudden spike in "essential" grocery shopping tomorrow (or right now) that clean the supermarkets out? If the shops don't restock quick enough will that not just repeat day after day?

My sister is on the phone from London, and in her area at least every supermarket is still being picked clean as soon as the deliveries come in. Unless the government sort out food shipments and set armed guards at every shop to prevent hoard buying, the capital is 24 hours away from ripping itself to pieces.

Kin posted:It'll be interesting to see what dynamics this adds to shopping. nah, everyone will be expecting everyone to panic buy on tuesday, so noone will bother and they'll wait until wednesday to panic buy. but then people will catch onto that and panic buy on the thursday instead. but then if I've figured that out it must mean anyone else could and will do the same, so it's best to do the panic buying on the friday. But then...

Even though online shops seem to be remaining open I feel like it’d be bad of me to order too much stuff - wanted to get some home exercise gear but maybe I’ll have to make do.

Chuka Umana posted:Only work that should be permitted is essential services. Until the government call for a rent/mortgage freeze people need to get paid. Until the government gives out food for free in Vietnam people will need to get paid. That's the reality of capitalism. Until the government force insurers to actually payout on their policies then people will keep their businesses open. Also you're loving stupid if you think people shouldn't be allowed out for a walk/run/cycle. A) It's really good for our mental health. B) It's also good for our physical health. Which is important at a time like this. It's entirely possible to go for a wander while not being a loving eejit. I'm lucky, I live in a small village, I have a garden I can sit out in and read, wander around (not a huge space but better than nothing) while taking in fresh air. People in the cities probably don't. Boris is getting enough poo poo advice, glad he's not listening to yours. Really regretting not buying that GYBE vinyl when I was in HMV last week. Oh well, it'll still be there when this is over. Unless HMV goes out of business.
