Was thinking the same myself

A bit of common sense at last. Thats proper political leadership.

I want the country opened, instead of seeing my father and mother die of depression holed up and isolated from everything they love, the very meaning of their life taken away
It’s a tough call but it has to be discussed very soon here too. I’m terrified The suicide rate will go out of control.

Qasim Khan, co-owner and head chef at a small Latin American restaurant in central Copenhagen, applauds the government’s quick decision to shut down the country, but worries that a reopening after Easter would be too early - and could actually delay a return to normal.
“You risk that our three weeks of very tough quarantine ends being worth nothing … I don’t see a reason for opening up and then risk having to shut down again,” he told Reuters news agency.
Restaurant owner Khan, with the help of his pregnant girlfriend and two remaining staff, is still keeping his kitchen open for take-away orders.
“Is it really worth risking getting ill versus shutting down the place? That has been the toughest decision,” Khan said.
It certainly is as Denmark are like ourselves unfortunately, reaching a point where our deaths will likely grow quite a bit over the next week.

You are in your hole worried about suicide.

Okay Harry but I imagine Denmark’s thinking on this is being guided by public health experts and not a chef.

And you think the point where “deaths will likely grow quite a bit over the next week” is the time to relax the restrictions?
Good fuck.
Oh but of course but it’s all hearsay my friend.
He’s a good lad. He’s protecting his family. Many think like him but many think like us. Everyone should be respectable of everyone else’s views. Imo we need to be thinking about this Monday week.
Could we reopen a few more outlets, things like clothes shops and the like? Maybe even a barbers assuming hygiene and PPE is worn.
That’s a shameful thing to post tank. There’s absolutely no need for it.
there’s going to have to be a line drawn soon, are we going to be happy seeing our parents getting depressed living an unnatural and alien lifestyle forever, separated from everything they have lived and worked for, talking over a fucking wall to them, leaving shopping at the front gate, how long can that go on? for all concerned?

I’d be thinking parks and churches first.
No I don’t, I said they are discussing it.
Because that’s being brave politically.
The reality is (as you’ve pointed out yourself) that there is a delay from the exponential growth in cases to ICU to deaths.
A lot of people like admire to the likes of Sweden and Denmark when it is convenient ie “look at the free stuff they give” but turn their head when they go on a different course. In Denmark’s case though we actually followed pretty much the same course as them and their results thus far are not dramatically different to ours, but they are having this discussion. In fairness our public health experts have been in the press talking about this today a bit (though not to nearly the same degree as discussion is in Denmark) but the fact that the Danes are discussing the economic consequences on society in this also needs to be considered.

Whatever I’m not going into specifics. Just a few little things here and there. All whilst still maintaining social distancing etc.
