I live in the UK and I'm curious what other people think about this situation.



I personally don't think it will.

It's to be reviewed on the 13th of April.

I just cant personally see them extending it. I kind of want them to if I'm honest. But I just don't see it.

I mean, if they want to go back to the scenario of hundreds of thousands (at least) dying then I guess.

I think it'll need to be extended, but with the foot-dragging, fumbling, half-hearted and half-arsed approach of BoJo's bunch of amateurs, who knows if it'll happen? Stop asking, urging, encouraging, and threatening people into doing what they need to do to make this thing shorter, and just fucking make them do it.

can't annoy his base of voters who thinks that it's nothing more than a cold, a massive conspiracy theory and don't listen to advice from doctors or experts

On a selfish personal level it would be nice so I could leave.

But no on pragmatic level I really hope not because people would die.

Corona Virus isn't going anyway in a month and people are still ignoring the lockdown, I see groups of 10+ people around. Takeaways still open, hospitals are full and low on supplies.

Anyone who wants to end the lockdown in the US or UK right now wants people to die or at least doesn't care that many people will die.

^ Hey now that's completely unfair!
