I'm in the centre of London. It is just...weird. I'd say every office-type role is now work-from-home. Entertainment venues are closed. Shops and transport are open, for now. People are still out and about and construction is still happening.

What is not at all clear is the end goal. It's been intimated that the purpose of the quarantine is to cut new transmissions by avoiding contact for 14 days and letting all the live cases work through. OK great, I see that, but then what ? Start all over again as soon as an undetected case flies in from a poorly managed environment ?

There are already cancellations announced for events in June and July, so clearly there is some intent to quarantine for much longer periods than 14 days. Again, not clear what the goal of that is.
