Like many of you across the world, the UK is now in lockdown. Our PM has just announced draconian national measures on a televised address to the nation. Each of the four nations of the UK have followed suit.
Its a frightening thing to be isolated by the State even when its for such obvious and virtuous reasons. I think my Parents experienced martial law in World War II but I never thought me my Missus would have to.
Best of luck to everyone out there, to you and your loved ones and for what its worth I will try to keep Moonbase Central going as long as there's internet space and electricity in case you need some light relief.
Staying home today. Managed to get most things done on the telephone, such as setting up internet banking so I can still pay the bills. I will have to go out in a few days for such things as bread and milk, and to pick up my prescriptions. Other than that I shall be a good boy and stay home.
ReplyDeleteThings just keep getting worse in NZ. The number of cases here is now up to 155 confirmed and probable. This is the first day probables have been included in the total. Yesterday it was 102 confirmed cases. When I called in at the supermarket yesterday on the way home from work the shelves were very bare, and the check out lines very long. I was sent home early at 2pm, as the NZ Alert was raised from Level 2 to Level 3, from 11:59pm Wednesday it goes to Level 4, which is lock-down for all but essential services such as supermarkets, chemists, and petrol stations. At least a month at home, perhaps (likely) longer.
Good luck everyone.
here in Italy is the same from last week.. we must all stay home.. it is the only way.ew
