| Comment | The Coronavirus Bill, giving the government additional powers (which arguably they already have) is meant to go through Parliament by the end of the month. The extent to which that, and the existing powers under the Civil Contingencies Act, is used, will depend on how fast hospital admissions increase in the coming days.
Instead of being nervous, we need to realise that - as can be seen if you go out - far too many people are ignoring the govt's advice, and that for most of us, a lockdown just means enforcing that advice and carrying on doing what you should already be doing. |
