Which also seems like a gross simplification. But then I wonder how many that genuinely die from it do so beyond 28 days.

Once you add in a social credit system like you have the beginning of in China you quickly disappear down the rabbit hole of the living in a box episode of black mirror.

Presumably as we’re now halfway through August, they’re trying to keep infections under control ahead of Autumn & Winter where we’ll also have seasonal flu to contend with - so like earlier in the year, trying to protect the vulnerable and prevent the NHS from becoming overwhelmed? Because for all the mass gatherings of people we’ve had, there’s been no massive spike and certainly very few deaths from the outbreaks.

Its almost as if people are sensible to keep away from their parents or ill folk by using common sense. Maybe that should have been the directive initially.

That was the advice at the start, wash your hands, keep away from people, cover your coughs / sneezes. Then they were advised not to go to pubs / bars, but kept going and were probably at their busiest the night they knew they were going to be closing.
Unfortunately people won’t do what they’re asked they carry on as normal until change is forced upon them.

I really want to get home but the situation is still way off being able to do that...
Even if/when quarantine is lifted, it's still going to be socially distanced, mask wearing, contact... I don't really want to put the young fella through that - seeing his grandparents like that. Zoom conferences for a while yet I guess...

Now we are allowed out and you can see people, I popped in the pub yesterday and a lad in there and I struck up a conversation. He had got close to his next door neighbour over lock down. On saturday they had a kiss, then she sent him an explicit vid which her husband found. The guy was in bits as didnt want to be a home wrecker. Lots and lots of these stories to follow as the populous find their daily lives change.
