But the problem is that there will never be a 100% compliance around the general public.
Quite right, we don't need 100% we need the a healthy majority, the same we get with crime. There always going to be a small % who'll will commit crime no matter what but its small and we manage it.
And of this virus spreads in the way they say it does then it only takes a few people not to comply and the whole thing goes tits up.
It's not what I'm saying it's what's happening. If the government got test and trace sorted out properly as they were told i.e locally and not via private company's and all the other failed crap they've been doing we'd keep on top of it as other countries have done.

Not to mention the amount of people that just don't care about the risk. They aren't worried about getting it or worried about giving it to anyone.
Like the % that commit crime we sort them, end of.
So the point being this asking everyone to behave approach isn't ever going to work.
Nobody wanted WW2 other than those that started it, but they like we had/have no choice it got to be done.
If everyone did exactly as they were told then there wouldn't be any crime would there
Mentioned above some will always commit crime that's why we have laws. But like crime any law has to be written so it's enforceable and proportionate to the situation and has to be seen to be enforced, then it will be followed by the vast majority.
Add to the fact that every man and his dog is a 'key worker' these days and you realise that this isn't really any kind of lockdown.
Yes I agree there's is too many classed as 'key workers' but that is the government trying to appease their mates and save money to some extent . The list now needs really looking at, trimed and those that aren't and caught working, the above applies.
The only people that are at home are the ones that work in pubs, gyms, hotels, shops or personal care. Around here between the supermarkets, factories, hospitals and docks I'd say well over 60% of people are still going about daily life as normal. In fact I dont actually know another person that has to stay at home like me.
Most I know are working from home, my 2 lads are both lost their jobs, both got new ones, one lost his new job, the other is still working from home. Areas of the country will be very different, factory work mostly can't be done from home, but the owners should be following the rules. I grant you some aren't, forcing workers in when they shouldn't be, but that's due to government turning a blind eye and money etc.
So really the only options are a 100% lockdown of everyone (as done in other countries) ,keep faffing about like they are (which is getting us nowhere), or just don't bother. And I think we know which one its going to be
Yes, we need to do what we did in Mar, had we stayed locked for longer, sorted out test & trace etc we'd be in a very different position, we didn't but that's a whole new topic.
Sadly there's just 2 choices as mentioned earlier, both are crap but one is less crap and with a light at the end of the tunnel, the other utter chaos.
