Put the UK on lockdown to stop the spread of COVID-19
The whole of the UK should go on lockdown as people aren’t listening to government‘suggestions’It isn’t fair on anyone. Especially the vulnerable and elderly.The fact the government isn’t actually doing enough is disgusting.Look at all the measures other countries are taking and compare it to the UK
I have vulnerable people in my household and we have tried self isolating but people are very selfish including some of the people in my own household. If we went on lockdown this wouldn’t be a problem because people wouldn’t be able to leave their house and spread COVID-19. There also wouldn’t be a massive food shortage as people couldn’t get out unnecessarily. It is also putting a huge strain on the NHS and the workers which is terrible for us and also them.
