The UK response was pathetic, but I'm glad our PM is finally doing something about it.
Still, my Uni has had to close down and I'm suspecting a lockdown would be brought on here soon.
All non essential shops need to close imo, I was talking with the guy at a local comic shop and he said 'what good is it for my gf to be in isolation when I'm not and we live together?'
Not only are they are risk, but others are at risk.
I'm suspecting things will gradually get better in a few months. There's the thought that this would peak in 3 months and that we could be like this for a good while yet.
However, I'm certain that it'll be faster than that. There's the idea that this could be up to a year, I'm doubtful it'll be that long.
I looked for a bit online, and while I wouldn't take my word for it as it was a quick 5 minute search, I found the Market where this was suspecting of originating from passed a hygiene inspection earlier last year. Hopefully these kinds of rules would be better enforced and the new laws actually do something, or this would have all been a waste.
I would say that we should use this as an opportunity to change the way we go about. How many times must we come close to Armageddon before we learn we're not invincible and infact, we're very vulnerable?
