A week into lockdown in Wales and round here it feels like its made zero difference, everyone is just carrying on as normal

Its only late at night and the lack of roaming drunken lads that feels any different

It doesn't help that the students absolutely don't give a gently caress about it all

A 1960s GTA London would be amazing.

One of the real insider rumours for GTA6 is that its set in the South East of England, its either there or California / Arizona again. That is still years away from release though.

Urgh, the worst of all worlds lockdown. Most major spreading sites open, any form of socialising closed.

I can see this being the last straw for a lot of people. It's gone from 'we'll get through this and be back to normal for Christmas dinner, just like the Blitz!' to 'this is life now'.

Yeah, and presumably if you're changing your primary residence then you aren't falling foul of any rules on second homes.

I mean, look at what they're proposing for Tier 4. Every one of these bullshit tiers has more holes than a sieve. You'll be fine.

Closing all non-essential retail is going to gently caress us over in the long run.

I get the reasoning for doing it, but I think it's going to go like this:

- All non-essential retail closes till December 2nd with the lockdown.
- People still won't full follow guidelines, like they haven't been doing. (They'll have their mum come round for childcare, but then nip to their mates for a brew, justifying this by "they've been in lockdown as well so its ok")
- Come December 2nd, they'll all open again. After being closed for 4 weeks, and only 3 weeks before Christmas, people will flock to them to get stuff done, and just buy stuff as they've been inside for so long.
- It'll look like the US on Black Friday, but sustained for quite a while. Lots of people rushing and crowding shops.
- This will cause another massive spike again around Christmas / New Year.

They should leave non-essential open, impose hard restrictions of numbers allowed in at a time like supermarkets did at the start. Fine those that don't adhere. This could cause people not to rush them once we come out of lockdown and prevent a massive spike again.

Either way we're hosed because they didn't take action sooner.

Atheist! Imperialist!!

I wonder what this lockdown will mean for single person households that have made a support bubble with another household. My mental health is going to take a major nosedive if that can't continue.

I think another lockdown is necessary either way (though it's a little late and I can't see there being a massive impact if the way schools and universities are currently operating isn't altered at all) but it really sucks finding myself hanging over the ol' depression pit again.
