Where have you been, watch the news, mortgages will be put on hold, and people will still be able to work, just not joy ride across the country in cars and meet in large numbers, in other words the bare minimum you can get by on, are you a courier ? You will still be working as will truck drivers, people who can work from home will do.
The numbers you just put up, tell you why the lock downs, on a par so far, death rate with Spanish Flu, up to 50 million + deaths, normal Flu is less than 1 million death rate worldwide.
Of course I don't like or want a lock down, but they won't do it without real reasons, do you not think they realise it will **** the economy, yet they will still do it.

No a man and van light haulage, I rely on people requiring small house moves, buying new or second hand furniture, taking items to and from storage that kind of thing, my wife is a hairdresser in a small village salon we own. Just the hair salon alone, outgoings would still be between £600 and £1000 a week with a lock down so it would hit us massively.

Some guy was on Radio 2 earlier today, he owns a restaurant chain down south, one month ago they were cash heavy and looking to open their 21st shop, business has slowed dramastically because of the scaremongering he feels if we were on lockdown he could survive three weeks and then he'd have to declare bankruptcy, seriously mate, the country will be screwed if we go on a two week lock down, the knock on effect will be gigantic

Restaurants can stay open, but people aren't going to go, people will still need hair cuts and things moving, but it's going to slow down big time, hang in there, and prepare for the boom when we come out of the other side.

If this is as serious as they are making out mate, well, its time our Government thought about the British public first, **** paying council bills, tax, mortgages etc, we've pumped enough money into the system for them to send it in aid to other countries, bailed the banks out, **** the big companies their shareholders and profits, its time they took the hit for once after all its our money anyway, time for civil disobedience if not .
my rage is getting worse :mad:

Hearing of a bit of a brawl in one of our local supermarkets today, apparently a couple had 2 trolleys full of beans, soups and others canned items, a few other shoppers took exception and it kicked off.
