Unsure if there is a straight line correlation but it will have had a knockon. I read that the Tube was 60-70% down on footfall but who knows, those pictures tell a different story. Perhaps it disproportionately affects certain lines, who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see how tightly they lock things down and how people react. I think people will be fine for a bit, but tempers are going to rise after a week or two.

The UK seems to have lost its' spirit with people having the 'screw you, I'm alright' attitude which means this won't end well, sadly. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we have a very loud minority who just don’t care about anybody else. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris to "address the country" at 20.30. Lock down.. One of the BBC journos on R5 just now said he was in Egypt a few days ago and all the Brits were advised to leave for home ASAP. He did and said that there were some who just said, Nah, we’ll stay to the end of the holiday. Now Dubai airport is close to closure, one of the major travel hubs. There are going to be people stuck abroad for quite sometime and if they ignored advice, then I haven’t got much sympathy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's neither nor then isn't it mozo? it's either lockdown or it's not. While I don't disagree that we MAY do a half-hearted lockdown, isn't that a bit like saying a door's shut when it clearly isn't? No disrespect meant.

BanburyRed Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Presumably something severe is in the offing, although the advice from Raab is just that for UK citizens abroad - 'advising' them to come back, not compulsory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like VAR to me The Gold Commander is in overall control of their organisation’s resources at the incident. They are not on site, but located at a distant control room, the Gold Command, where they formulate the strategy for dealing with the incident. If the Gold Commanders for the organisations involved are not co-located, they will be in constant communication with each other. Gold Commanders meet periodically to discuss and formulate policies and working practices between their organisations, and to pre-plan coordination. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately this crisis is not showing some on here in their best light is it, I'm afraid people want a scapegoat and Boris is an easy target, look I don't think he comes out of this blameless but the best sight in the world is 20:20 hindsight.
