More restrictions in UK

I read about the restrictions in the UK. It’s tough to shut down an entire country, but measures have to be taken to stop the spread. I wish our President had more interest in stopping the virus in the US, but he is more interested in himself.

I feel for those in GB who must be so nervous especially with this latest mutant strain of the virus. We have lockdowns in areas of our country. There are no bars open here, no eat in dining allowed, essential stores are only open, and only 25% capacity. We are all doing what we feel is necessary to stay safe, it is so frightening.

I heard that my country imposed travel bans for inbound and outbound including UK. I hope that this will end soon.

They have a harsh strain of the virus now. I'm not surprised they're tightening down on restrictions.

Stay safe. That is what we are all trying to do here. The governors have the control over each state here.

The saying goes like this: Better to prevent it, than cure it. So I think he's absolutely right for tightening the measures even more, as much as it's necessary until the threat is gone and life starts returning to normal slowly.

I also heard that the virus mutation has entered Vietnam, so here the doors are closed for all countries.

Got very tough restrictions here for the moment no one is allowed to travel right now except for work and they have to take half a dozen papers with them to prove it also. British strain or whatever they want to call it is in Gibraltar already so there is no easy way out of this for any of us. I was hearing that France has lockdown from eight o´clock onwards of a night we now have ten o clock lockdown time but it could be made even tougher in the next few days.

This is unimaginable. How long can they live like this - very disturbing indeed.

Every country does what it needs to do to stop the spread of the virus.

Every country should have been tougher right from the beginning,

@mrki444 He doesn’t know himself yet. Quite tough though - one of my daughters lives in Manchester another in Scotland. Everything closed.

But I thought he wants the the kids to go to school.

Maybe because of the new strain of the virus.

From all I hear, there is a variant from the virus, which makes it more easy to catch. No one knows what to do. But this new one spread much faster we hear. Its here already in the US.

People are wary of the new strain. That's why they're taking precautions.

It could be a lot tougher. We don't know what else might change - it's a real pain at the moment because they like to announce things at the very last minute - school closures the day before, for example - which makes any necessary arrangements very difficult for people.

Sure hope that all will wear the mask. This is one way to get rid of corona for sure
