Coronavirus outbreak

I'm not sure I could cope with following such a ridiculous and confining rule.

I'm frankly amazed the French are complying. Assuming they are, that is.

If they don't comply, they have to pay a fine which goes up every time they get caught.

We drove through France (from. Spain), via Somport Tunnel to Calais, at the beginning of the "lock down". We had the "Attestation" form, which I had to hand write, since we had no printer. One form per person, per day.

It did appear to be being Policed, we were stopped at one Police Road Block, and, the forms were asked for and scrutinised, at a subsequent check point we were initially indicated to stop, but, were then waved on without any checking, presumably, because of our UK registration plates.

I have just been listening to Macron on the French radio and the confinement is to continue until May 11th in France, when it will be reviewed then.

I believe Wednesday is the day the govt and states get together here to review the situation, with growing pressure to start relaxing the lockdown for the sake of the economy. I feel sorry for the French having to prolong this.

we have 2 in jail for breaking lockdown rules, the fixed penalty has not been through Tynwald yet, however the emergency regulations have been in place for a few weeks, £10.000 fine maximum and or/ a 3 month jail term

Why ?? Dying is quite a motivational factor.

It would seem the vast majority of the UK have observed the lockdown in the UK over the Easter weekend.

Can't remember where I read it - but one polictal commentator said that UK govt are surprised at the level of compliance.

Merely being more than 2km from home will not kill anyone.

Painful posting with a phone, attempt 3!
They mostly are in the sticks, it's a civic duty thing.

The problem is the people who are 12km from home because they are stir crazy and want to visit their friends.

Quiz Question.....which country has ?

Limited gatherings to more than 50

I think you mean no more than 50!

I’m sure one of the hacks will ask at the briefing later

Did they? I may have missed that bit, but I did see them doing the old "I can't hear you" schtick to a couple of reporters, including Channel 4. I guess Dominic's back at work then?

Dunno, didn’t watch it.

Yep I have a friend in Ireland confine to 2km which for bike riding basically means he’s on the turbo in his shed. He is swearing somewhat farking rotten on his turbo strava posts. It’s driving him mad.

Correct and with a permit as well.

2km limit as the crow flies or measured on accessible public roads/paths? ...if there's money involved the line has to be drawn carefully.
