    I agree mate, but we are in a mess and we all have to do our bit.

    We shouldn't stay in lockdown because the government have asked us ...

    ... we should do it because its the sensible thing to do.

    Not sure that is the case like.

    South Korea has imposed lockdowns on some facilities and at least one apartment complex hit hardest by outbreaks. But so far no entire regions have been cut off.
    Epidemiologists say it is not possible to compare the numbers directly. South Korea's system is an intrusive mandatory measure that depends on people surrendering what, for many in Europe and the US, would be a fundamental right of privacy.

    They had an outbreak of SARS back in 2002 as well as MERS in 2015 so they knew how dangerous it could be and were on watch for it.

    It’s as if they’d been tipped off by their allies, China.

    Hope it's all cleared up by the time your holiday comes round and you get the chance to enjoy that Spanish sun.

    If you're given the option i'd take the money back. Depending on which airline you're with they may not be around any longer.

    “because I’m happy to be me “
    Fantastic words Smug . It’s the point that every individual needs to reach - and realise that you cannot find happiness in a huge house , big bank balance or anything else until you’ve got contentment with your own being

    So, how is the weather in Blackpool in May then? That's if we're allowed out the house by then like. Might have to take your holiday in the garden, I've got my back yard booked for the last week in June so I can avoid the whole transport issue..

    South Korea have extremely advanced disease prevention and diagnosis tools, including people tasked entirely with tracing the contacts of those diagnosed. We do not, and we didn't take it seriously until too late for that.

    Apples and oranges, and the oranges may well prove to be mouldy in the long run. The only thing that will keep this manageable is lockdown.
