Judy I totally agree with you. Common sense should play a big part in it.

I am healthy too, thankfully but my sister who is only in her 60's has major health issues. As do close friends of ours.

Therefore will it mean that they can go out and about but we will be in lockdown?

So what happens if you live in a mixed age group household ?.  Or one of you is over 70 and the other isn’t?

I know several older people who are already cutting shopping trips, social events and gatherings to a minimum.  We know we are at greater risk and that the elderly will be at the back of the queue for medical assistance so most of us are not silly enough to put ourselves at unnecessary risk.

Or is this Boris Cunning plan to get rid of the House of Lords, their average age is 70 so most of them will be confined to barracks  ;D ;D   I’ll make a bet they’ll still get their allowances though.

Confined to Barracks - perhaps they are going to re-invent the concentration camps  :o  The Brits have done it before - 2nd Boer War.  :-X

I can't sing apparently according to my headmaster when I was at primary school!

Two of our Muslim neighbours have kindly offered to assist us during this period of uncertainty. They are delightful families and regularly bring us curries which are delicious.

Just a thought but Hancock's remit will run only in England. However that may not be too reassuring for those of us in Scotland as the SNP Government usually try to go further than Westminster - could we be looking at 65 or even 60?

Measures being discussed by the Government will be wildly destructive to the economic and now also social fabric of the UK; very much a case of the medicine being far worse than the illness.

I have read that the police will be given powers to detain those not self-isolating, - but where are they going to put these people??

Perhaps people will be detained in makeshift care homes (requisitioned hotels?) if they don’t comply with self-isolation?
