Two meters distance determines our existence!

So sick and tired of sick people coming into the store… It's also so exhausting keeping track of when to clean hands/ disinfect them,... Again and again and again...
Slightly good news for Belgium: 2nd day in a row that the amount of new cases went down... Either our intake of beer protects us better, or we're just extremely lucky, cause ALL our surrounding countries seem to be SOL...

Public Health England produced data to identify where in England people were most likely and least likely to comply with voluntary self isolation guidance live. Suffice to say they did not make this public. No one wants to know that they are the thick idiots that couldn't be trusted to act responsibly. Well now we've all been told.
The list of high Street shops that are exempt from closure has been published. There are those that you'd expect such as food stores and pharmacies. Others include health food stores, bicycle stores, and home/hardware stores.
Apparently mainstream stores are focusing on general needs and can't meet the needs of specialist diets (coeliac etc, not veggie), and health stores can help meet that demand.
The armed forces are currently being mobilised to help with delivering food parcels and provisions to cat 1 at risk self isolators. So please, if you live in the UK and see military vehicles in your streets where you wouldn't usually, please don't panic, they are just helping out.

I think timing is key. Most countries have waited too long with functional measures, whether they were controlling movement, testing, social distancing, whatever. Lockdowns have become increasingly necessary because of this.
i take some of what i said back. singapore has started to see a second wave of new cases partly due to the returning citizens from other countries. now they've moved to ban short term vistors and close entertainment establishments and the likes, where there's a higher chance of transmission. it'll be interesting to see if this works for them.
on the other hand, australia claims that 90% of cases are imported and closed their borders but continue to allow cruise ships to dock and with little checks in place, which doesn't make sense to me.

It's happening in Hong Kong already.

The title is misleading as the only forces that can be used (AFAIK) for such use in the US is the nat'l guard. As I understand it, the Fed is very limited in what it can do (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act).

Should not even be a point of discussion. Take the licence away, no exceptions….

I went to a food bank today to pick up supplies for a vulnerable adult I support in my job. It was based in a church in an affluent part of the Borough I work in. The vicar told me that a neighbour in an adjacent house had called the police to ask that they 'dispurse the crowds'… 'crowds' that were being quiet, observing social distancing, and in many cases were facing the prospect of using a food bank for the first time in their lives, and having to take their small children with them. The police arrived and advised the vicar that the food bank would have to close if people didn't practice social distancing.
We cannot let this crisis create even more of a them and us mindset than brexit already has. For fucks sake people, have some humanity (a general observation not aimed at people here).
