Yesterday was talking to a few friends that live in England (a few in London, one in Guernsey) through facetime and those that live in London were telling me that people are basically ignoring the lockdown, they still take the tube, everyone runs now (mostly people that barely exercised before now go out for a "run"), theres private parties going on, people still gather at will.
My other friend that lives in Guernsey, says everyone is taking it very seriously, he says maybe because theres a lot of immigrants and being an island with a small population, and much of that population is slightly older (average 40 y/o) people look at whats happening in London and are reacting accordingly.
I suspect this should be the same for other remote areas around the UK, but we will see big numbers coming out of London if they dont change their lifestyle urgently.
Most people here in the UK are taking it seriously. There’s a few idiots ignoring the terms of the lockdown but it really is a minority. The police are moving those people along and issuing fines to repeat offenders..
The real hotspot is Birmingham and the midlands in general, but yeah I suspect London will see a big rise in numbers. For now the figures are pretty low here in Bristol. I’m fairly confident that I’ve already had it, and I caught it off someone who fell ill after a weekend in London. I’ve barely left the house for over three weeks.
