Coronavirus: Will You Comply With The Government’s Advice?
271 Answers
Whether you fall into the group classified as ‘at risk’, or are over 70 and advised to remain at home, or younger and fit but requested to abandon your social life, will you comply - and if not why not?
Me? I think we are duty bound.

Of course we will comply, as you rightly say Naomi we feel we are ALL duty bound to do so. Chillidoubt must feel like banging his head against the wall with some of the responses here. It’s not much to ask to put your social life on hold for a few months is it? Better that than catch this virus or continue the spread of it. I despair at times...

God, Chill, that’s terrible.
I have to admit to being in the ‘it’ll be fine’ group.

Had colleagues with the same mindset a few days back, CJ.
The Senior anaesthetists and intensivists have been informing us that we are roughly 2 weeks behind Italy, so that’s when they’re expecting it to spike over here.
The scale of what is in the offing is now dawning on many and the mood is growing less jovial and more somber by the day.
Heed the advice and warnings, PLEASE, I implore all of you.

The distance thing is impossible in most scenarios.
Found it ironic when taking my mum to the special pensioners hour at Iceland and at least 100 of the most vunerable people were all huddled together in the close proximity of a queue.
Sounded like a good idea from the supermarkets but probably not in reality.

I have not been complying.
I work in a store and we probably get 5000 shoppers a day through the doors, so avoiding 20 mates in the pub Doesn’t make sense.
Thankfully, every one in my little group of about eight is still coming out. If we don’t, then our favourite bars will be out of business in weeks, gone forever.

There was a doctor talking from Italy on the News tonight whose wife and child are in Britain. He said he was watching us carefully and we are on the same track as Italy and it would explode here, worse than Italy, in a few weeks. I can't remember it exactly I wish I could. Did anyone else see it? He's so worried about his wife and child.
Ladybirder,
Italy has been hit harder than us due to social reasons, not anything else. They have an elderly population than us, a quarter of all are over 65. And there is a lot more Contact between the young and old than in the UK. So if we do see a huge increase in cases, it will be for different reasons that Italy have been hardest hit.

Exactly the sort of bloody-minded idiocy that is seeing Italy and France moving to consider even further draconian measures in order to get the population to comply.
Really do wish some of you could spend the day with me tomorrow.
Consider the selfish actions you’re taking and ponder on who amongst your group you may possibly infect(and vice versa), and whom in their homes and domestic circumstances they in turn will go on to.
