A Lot of People Went Back to Work Today

I know people need to work, but it defeats the purpose of quarantine. It will risk too many lives if proper measures aren’t taken.

I think what is lacking with the quarantine we have is the mass testing so that anyone with the virus will be detected en masse and the government can do the necessary solutions to those detected positive. But our government wasn’t able to do that because of lack of resources to afford it. With that we only detect those that have the symptoms and we couldn’t know if there are asymptomatic out there that is a health risk too of spreading the virus unintentionally.

i have to go back tomorrow. I'm lookng forward to the non isolation but leery of the getting sick or sharing it unknowingly

I guess rapid mass testing is necessary for now while there is no cure yet,so everyone will be aware of their conditions and will be able to contain the spread of virus as every detected positive one can be treated properly.It's really scary, our health and economy are being compromised.Each livelihood is greatly affected. Do we have a choice?(sigh)

That is my point. The quarantine is silly. If the virus will be her for a long time then the earlier we learn to cope, the better. Why quarantine people when after some months you will make them go out to work. It is like we just wasted the 2 months of lockdown.

I agree. I can understand that people need to earn a living, but I also think it's far too risky

As long as they maintain social distancing and wash their hands frequently and wear their masks then they should be ok.

I hope pre cautions are being taken so everyone will be safe.

I hope it was a good decision and no one gets sick.

Our people are all going back to work - well, most anyway - but our numbers are very low.

Life must go on. In here people go out for working. But the bad news the patiens of corona still high in number

Unfortunately, we are still not sure, but life must return to normal.

Sooner them than me. Thank God our First Minister is taking things slowly and doesnt want anyone going back to work until its as safe as it can be. I hope we are locked down for a good while longer yet. The longer tbe better. Less chance of the virus going wild again. You are spot on, One infected person out there could start another big outbreak. Everybody needs to be tested as soon as possible. I cant wait to see what happens in London. Seen them crammed onto trains on the news. I wouldnt be that close to anyone.

It is very pathetic. You know, in my place is more annoying. Not only go to work.. but also go to the mall . But we realize to give a chance to workers. They have continous their living. Good luck for them

I noticed this week that more people are shopping. The government requested only one person from a family go once every three days, and I think that was happening through Golden Week (ending May 5) but now people are going together. Shops are not open as long hours so they are more crowded too.

Good luck to everyone out there. They must earn for their families.

I think everyone is going back to work too soon; but we shall see.

In my city people work normaly.

Today is the 4th session of Lok town in my country and we have lots of freedom in lockdown but still the condition is not so good

Yes I agree with you... Bit there is no other alternative way also.. Hear persons care them self very carefully than before..
