It is likely to involve very localised lockdowns of schools, hospitals, housing estates or parts of towns that see flare-ups. it's a real rollercoaster ride of Tory arrogance and incompetence!

If everyone had the app, you could message everyone around there maybe, but the app isn't going to have a good takeup rate realistically, and anything local would presumably miss people who live elsewhere but work in the area. Short of putting a note through everyone's door or vans with loudspeakers (that would miss anyone out at work outside the area), I can't think of any easy way to tell people that a local area is locked down.

one of my friends is living on an estate in Northampton at the moment where people are still apparently having big house parties (with bonus fighting) so I'm not sure how much more successful asking them all to stay inside is going to be when it's literally just them being singled outDanger - Octopus! posted:I really don't get how local lockdowns will happen.

It'd depend on what level of tracing they're capable of but yeah that will absolutely mean police checkpoints and patrols of neighbourhoods if they can get it narrowed down to postcode sizes.

To a first approximation, the virus is spread by people working, or going to where people are working. ‘Lockdown’ is right wing framing; the effective measure is not arresting people for going outdoors, but furlough; paying people not to work. Most working people Do have an address known to their employer,. So a localized furlough seems like it might work. No doubt the actual plan will; be something stupider

Isn't it more likely they will just maybe send people a text if they have the app and if they don't follow it because they need to go to work to live, welp, too bad, personal responsibility.

Yeah I can't see anything like police checkpoints for individual streets or estates. There isn't nearly the manpower for it. This is just a last-minute "tough measure" to deflect from Cumgate and I doubt there was ever any serious intention to enforce it.

Even if this were a genuine suggestion and not another Tory distraction, and it was feasible to enforce it, I don't even see what the point of such narrowly targeted lockdowns would be by the time you've identified a cluster in a school or a large workplace or something those people have already been going home and potentially infecting their families and they've been going out and infecting their colleagues/school friends/teachers etc etc for probably at least a week even if we did have a world beating testing and tracing system I mean in the Tory fantasy world the idea is probably to "minimise disruption" so "number go up" but in the real world it seems like would make more sense to do it to a whole local authority or a region that has growing case numbers, which is actually what I assumed they meant at first

As much as the government loves CP I don't think they have the resources to equip them. They'd put up the oppression challenge and end up with one store bought bane mask resprayed in white, to share, and it would cost two hundred billion pounds.

gently caress I hate AAPI (As A Parent I) brain My mum's going spare that she hasn't seen her first and only niece since March, my brother flat out refuses to let her come over. It's not even like he's being consistent about it either, since he's being going to work this whole time, and he's not doing it out of concern for my folks, it's specficially cause he's worried that his daughter (born just before christmas) will be put in danger by them visiting. I know she's his kid and it's ultimately up to him and his wife, and I know my folks don't just have an automatic right to interact with their grandchild, but just spoke to Ma and she was in tears. Really want to speak to him but know that'll only make it worse, he's a stubborn and often irrational fucker who will only double down if I do. It's like, if he's not going to let anyone interact with his child until this is over, then she's going to be two by the time any of us get to see her again. I've only met her twice, ever, but it's so much more important to Ma than it even is to me, and it's just so pointless and arggh I know, lockdown and that, but my folks don't go out otherwise, they've not broken the rules, they'd be the only ones in any actual danger whatsoever, they aren't going to then go anywhere else either, and they're so upset that they're missing out on these first few months entirely

Julio Cruz posted:Nando's is good if overpriced Nandos is average and varies by restaurant but either way is massively overpriced. Buy any random piri piri spice mix from a non white person grocery, mix it with oil, yoghurt, extra garlic & ginger and some honey then slather that on boneless chicken thighs. Exactly how you'd do tandoori basically. Throw them on the BBQ or do it under your grill if you don't have one, baste with the nandos sauce of your choice as you flip them 6-7 min per side depending on temp. Eat. Possibly put on buns with fresh lettuce and tomato if you're fancy. Entire pack of chicken thighs + spice mix costs less than one chicken burger at Nandos and you get 8. For bonus points make your own spice mix & make your own hot sauce but that's not practical for most.

Don't know if that would be possible? My niece is obsessive about keeping her 4 year old locked down and not seeing anyone - she's actually more worried about catching it herself and dying and 'who will look after the little one'. Apparently someone local - a single parent - died of covid and noone to look after the child.
