To be fair the UK media today has had a very consistent message on social distancing. They seem to have got fed up of waiting for some of the politicians. This stuff wasn't seen on italian tv till 3-4 days after the national italian lockdown.

This character would be handy right now !!
The media's had videos on all day of the belfast respiratory team, local pictures (on local news was nurses at a ward my father's been to many times and known locally), interviews. Special op ed pieces going through government advice and questions (such as something someone here asked 2 days back). There's been cheesy weather forecasts of people getting tape measures out saying make sure you're two metres away from me for doing the weather. BBC and some others did the spread out thing on the sofa for a while, but it's every program now.
That's quite different to yesterday where we had 'playground' saga where some in the media were saying eh you aren't really asking people not to mix in packed playgrounds? Are you? And just general commentary about numbers and deaths. About people going up snowden. I was watching sky news yesterday and it looked like Kimberley Leonard just thought WTAF am I reading, these people are stupid, can I read out something else please?
Totally different.

Your MOT!
I missed that! We have to get MOTs now? I'm sure I'll fail mine.
On the other hand our car will probably pass with no problems again. It's a Volvo.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the government instruction that these high risk individuals MUST stay at home and food will be delivered to them?
I don't want to be the one to preach to people in a difficult situation but there are pages of posts here criticising people who are failing to heed government instruction on essential journeys, social distancing etc
Yes that's the case the OP had earlier said they needed to go shopping at some point. Then clarified the situation re being at risk.
So I stand correct i've seen what i've done I got two replies mixed. Forgive me I spent a few hour's already today trying it explain all this with a few of neighbours and i've still got a few more to check on yet.
In my defence I did say wait for the letter and it will explain things

Oh yes forgot about that one of many thing ConDems quietly dropped. Was hard to keep up they had so many.
