The problem with London is that it's impossible to get around without the trains. We had to take a piece of hardware from our office downtown to our CoLo on the north side so we called an Uber around 10am and it took us over an hour to get there. If we just had to make the trip without the equipment we'd be looking at a 30 minute tube ride and a 10 min walk. I guess shutting down the tube would be one way to get people to stay in their houses since there isn't any other way to get around for most people. I was surprised how many people lived far out of town and rode the train for an hour and a half to get to work every day.

Yeah, I've been there. I didn't even attempt to drive. The tube was excellent for getting into and around town (AirBnb about 10 miles outside London).

But I think the point of a "lockdown" was not having so many people out and about. They filled up the pubs last weekend. They're not taking it seriously.

"A person under 18 has died from the Coronavirus". Couldn't read the rest of the article because the fucktards want you to sign up to read it. So, after three months and over 40,000 cases someone under 18 died. The person could be 17 years old, or could be an infant. The person could've had other medical issues as do the majority of those who have died from the virus.

It was just a logical assumption based on numbers. I have made myself clear that all life is to be treasured and fought for. None should be "sacrificed" for the economy.

What about the lives you are sacrificing years down the road due to health complications from the stress of poverty? What about all the people who suffer from mental health issues like depression and anxiety being locked indoors and scared shitless by the media as we speak?

There is no clear black and white answer to any of this. Everything you do has an affect on someone else.
