    Transport



    Source: UK 'not out of the woods' on coronavirus - BBC News

    So based on that we are really looking at more or less real start of lockdown more or less NOW, not 2 weeks ago - only NOW transport numbers getting where they should be (close to zero).

    Anecdotically cars near my street seem to be a lot less frequent in the last few days, but not a week ago.

      So if you're wanting ZERO transport movements, exactly how do those nurses get to work?

        That is because the kebab shop has closed!

          I said close to zero.

          Nurses should have been put in nearby hotels (which are empty anyway), get full food there etc - this would have reduced possible exposure to virus of their families.

          At least those nurses who shown any symptons, shoudl have been allowed to self-isolate in designated hotels.

              Well maybe you don't give a tulip when this tulip ends, but I do.

              Based on that traffic data we are literally at start of lockdown, so 2-3 weeks till peak makes sense actually.

                Those hotels that have closed?

                And who cleans the hotels? How do they get to work? Where do the hotel supplies come from? How do the suppliers get to work?

                    All answers to these questions should have been readily available in Pandemin Reaction WhiteBook (or whatever colour they use), this should have been all prepared in advance ready to deploy WHEN tulip hits the fan like it did. It's not like it's unpredictable that healthcare staff will first to catch virus from patients, and safeguarding staff should be a priority in such situations.

                    It's all fooking easily predictable - and cheap to prepare in advance when the demand for materials is low.
