Coronavirus - is enough being done to contain it?

The Times is saying that there's going to be a National Lockdown of some kind next week.

How much truth is there in it?

It will be interesting to see how the Government go about getting 70%-80% uptake.

you can be sure Boris will insist on Tory MP's will get it first then sell it nationally at an exortinate price so no one else can have it but the elite.

if its leaking to the times or the torygraph then we are going into lockdown !!

will blame students for going back to uni even though they were told to and us for going out to pubs even though they incentivised it

Will never be there fault

True HP, but how long for?

The rumour is lockdown from 4th November to 1st December.

One study quoted in the Times found that anywhere between 8-17% of infections between August and September could be linked directly to the “Eat out to help out” programme.

We apparently transitioned a little too quickly from “even one death is too many” ... to ... “FUCK! Some people will have to be sacrificed or Pret A Manger will go bust!”

^ Back when we locked down in March, the vast majority of the population was behind the decision. It will be interesting to see what percentage of the population support having a lockdown now and also how many will obey it.
