Seriously

Lots of talk of med students graduating early.

First year doctors usually start 2nd week of August, rumours rumours they’ll graduate early and start work as early as next month

Sandy and his daily rationing posts ffs he really wants wartime Britain back

Interesting/random fact, the normal day they start (Wednesday, 2nd week of August) is known as Black Wednesday. Usually one of the days with the highest or deaths for the year in NHS Trusts. All the senior Drs have taken annual leave for summer holidays with kids, new doctors who don’t know how to be doctors all starting at the same time, and need their own inductions and supervision from the few seniors that are left

Just proves what a sad attention seeking kant the guy is that he now wants to expand his audience base...huge t sser of a poster

And war time rationing was due to there not being the resource capacity to produce enough food. That is not the issue here at all. Supemarkets just need to control and slow down the flow of outgoing stock. That should be quite easy to do if they limit all purchases to card payments only and create a database that logs purchases agst the card.

Yes it would not be full proof, but it would have some affect in slowing down the outflow of items from the stores.

The biggest issues with staying indoors and never out is lack of sunlight, not getting enough exercise, lack of mental stimulation and not getting social interactions. If you took care of these, then your brain won’t suffer from anything.

Now, when it comes to not getting enough sunlight, you won’t get enough vitamin D.

Vitamin D is important to our immune system, and reducing inflammation in the body. And as for the brain, the sunlight regulates the hormones that are important for our body clock schedule and that’ll affect everything from appetite and sleep to mood and energy levels.

The electric lighting that we get with the absence our the natural light will throw off our internal rhythm. This can lead to jet lag and sleep deprivation.

Sleep deprivation will harm your brain as well as increase the risk of obesity - since we tend to eat more fatty food when we’re not getting enough sleep - diabetes, same reason as before, depression, anxiety and other diseases.

These follow up will harm your brain, you can read Can prolonged anxiety, depression and years of lack of intellectual stimulation permanently deplete your cognitive abilities? How does one go about retrieving these lost functions when even the simplest of things seem overwhelmingly difficult? and here Does sleep deprivation cause brain damage?

Now we’re done with the sunlight, let’s go to not getting enough exercise.

Exercise helps our body and brain. It helps us to be happy because of the chemicals it releases, exercising helps our memory (apparently, it strengthens the connections between the neurons) and in neurogenesis (thanks to the chemicals that it’s releasing).

As for lack of mental stimulation, this’ll kill your neurons.

When you’re not using your brain cells (neurons) they’ll more likely to die because the brain will think they’re useless and would rather save energy to do something else.

And not getting social interactions, or being isolated will make you hallucinate.

Why?

Because the part of the brain that deals with tasks is customized to deal with large number of information. We are wired to get constant stimulation such as visual, auditory and other environmental.

And when this doesn’t happen, our brain’s processors will still fire but since they’re not getting stimulation, they ‘fill in’ ones. They start creating images out of partial ones.

And isolation will also affect you sleep patterns, attention and logical and verbal reasoning for not being stimulated enough.

Our brain, in other words, gets really confused and harmed because of the effects that follow staying home away from everyone.

this is the issue, the after effects of being indoors all day (if we go into full lockdown), the economy/inevitable recession, and we are probably going to get it in december anyway even if we avoid it this time.

They should just not have made this public and just let it happen, probably going to have to do this every time there's a new one that comes about to

I support pricing measures, such as putting a 10,000 percent levy on any third item of any one product in a trolley.

I like it...good idea, much better than mine and much easier to implement and much more full proof

Yeah, apparently in Spain they’re not struggling with food supply on shelves, they just have really strict measures in place to control shoppers. Apparently it works that most large supermarkets have security who only allow a set number of people in the shop at any one time, keep a cap of items per person, and additionally also clean baskets and trollers after use and force people to queue 2 metres apart.

pretty much, my mum lives in spain. They're not even allowed out the house other than to even put bins in the garbage dumpster or walk their dogs but to walk their dogs they have to fill in a form and they will get allocated a time each day once a day.

Not even allowed out for a 5 min stroll, this is the problem worse than prison and if you don't lose your mind from going stir crazy your body will end up shutting down from lack of natural air and oxygen and stimulation plus obviously not getting enough natural light etc getting it from a window or balcony isn't enough. It's unhealthy and is going to make so many of these people unhealthy.

The effects of lockdown and the effects of the economy and the world is going to be so much more severe. It will help save realistically about 25k-40k lives, but will probably end up killing 100,000 from the after effects

Another huge flaw in this plan is letting NHS people shop for themselves by opening an hour early etc. They're most likely to spread it...

Shopping list...no hoarding or panic buying...
