UK Coronavirus Lockdown!

- April 1st, 2020, life in the UK is very different to what it was a month ago before the ongoing Covid-19 Coronavirus outbreak. There are restrictions on travel with the advice to travel only if you are a key worker or if it is essential. Stores, pubs, cinemas, restaurants, electrical stores and pretty much any place where people gather are all out of bounds. Public transport has been scaled back and the situation is expected to get worse.
This video shows how it looks out there in the streets at the moment.
Stay safe!

I can remember there were only about 30 cases found in UK a month ago.. Nobody could have imagined the current state at that time.
Same here in Italy, things went from "it's just a flu" to critical in a week or so... especially here in Bergamo. We live in strange times...
A wonderful record of these extraordinary times. Thank you.
I went for a walk around my town, the high street is always congested but today there wasn't a single car on it.
Also in my local Morrisons, my friend said there were two people physically fighting to get the last pack of 4 toilet rolls. That is the same with the hand soap.
I've been staying indoors mostly now for about 3 weeks as I've got pre-existing health issues. Finally had to get out from my 4 walls for a bit of mental relief yesterday (Tuesday) and decided to go out for a 30-60 minute drive. Left around 5pm which would normally mean sitting in endless traffic on any of the roads here. Instead it was so empty that I ended up putting some 40 odd miles on the car by the time I got back. The only time I've seen the roads quieter was 2am on Christmas morning!
Stay safe too ! Greetings from Hamburg
Hope you're safe. Looking forward to more of your videos soon.
Hi! I'm missing watching your walking on a disused railway.
I hope you are O.K. and stay healthy in this uneasy time. Greetings from Indonesia.
I am well, thank you for asking. It's been very challenging with events lately and I hope to get back to making videos very soon. Thanks for watching!
@@morthren how are you doing? we miss your videos
Thank you for documenting this. 👍
that high street looks like the old sunday trading regime( eg not open on sunday)
Nicely documented...👍
Good video. I sincerely hope that those stupid, greedy hoarders who have been taking all the pasta, rice and pulses, quickly discover that they don't like them.
Stay safe, and don't talk to strangers.
Good to know you're OK - stay safe, and look forward to seeing more from you in due course :)
i think i would always enjoy your exploration videos, best wishes for you to stay healthy!
The economic damage caused by this is a self inflicted wound with the potential to be fatal if the 'lockdown' is allowed to continue on. COVID-19 isn't something anyone wants to catch but then again, nobody wants to catch Tuberculosis (millions more deaths than COVId-19). And we haven't locked down against that. Life is for living, not merely existing. And as this superb video shows, what we have here ain't living. Sooner we rid ourselves of the fear and the paranoia, the better. The original health advice still applies: don't get too close to strangers, and don't stay in the company of another individual for more than a few minutes unless they're in your family. Though I love Morthren's videos for the way they chronicle the sadly desolate on the brink of vanishing forever, let's not have today's self-imposed desolation taking entire communities over that same brink. It's time for Society to ghrow up. Not keep hiding away. Posted May 20, 2020.
Many more fast food and restaurants are open here in the US, but drive thru take out only.
Weird seeing this. I used to go to school round the corner..
On another note New Zealand hasn't had any new coronavirus cases for nearly 2 weeks now and there is only one active case in NZ now.
A great video as always and just shows how the country has changed so much in a short space of time. Sadly too many plebs are still going out as if nothing is wrong and meeting up with mates and stuff. It' like they don't care or don't have the brain cells to realize how dangerous this thing can be not only for them but anyone they come in to contact with even indirectly. It's only been a short time since the lockdown and people are already trying to go back to the old ways of driving around and stuff yet this thing hasn't even started wiping out the thousands it's likely to do in the coming weeks. Stay safe stay home.
Could you please go to Ayr car park Scotland thank you (Ryan Thomas)?
Thanks for echoing the views from across this nation. I hope we can resume where we left off, but sadly I think a lot more biz will have hit the wall by then, and those of us who pay our taxes will be asked to dig deeply for even more to help get our country out of a hole.
Non-perishables and of course toilet rolls were wiped clean off the shelves.
How different it was over a year ago, when we were pretty much dealing with the unknown.
1:05 "good times", is it? Ah the irony 😂
Makes me think of the movie, "28 Days Later..."
Hi, it's been a while since there was any video uploaded and I just thought I would pop by and see if you are okay? Hope everything is still okay for you :)
Hey! I am okay, thank you for asking. It has been difficult to get out with lockdowns in place but I hope to be able to start making some new videos soon.
Please make something about lifts
Please come back
I will be back soon
What you showed, pretty much describes it over here in the States. I'm now noticing food being stocked more and paper products becoming easier to get.
Same for all soaps and sanitizer.
Still no idea, when all this ends.
I have a feeling the lockdown will go on for at least another no th or so. But, people need to go back to work. All types of business nerd to open. Many types of businesses, are closing for good. What a mess.
Nice video. New Zealand is currently in lockdown too, you also have the queue outside the supermarkets and keep 2m apart, certain supermarkets here have put restrictions on certain items to ensure everyone gets their fair share. Have supermarkets in the UK out restrictions on items or done something similar? Stay safe!
They have put restriction on some items like toilet paper and certain foods. Hopefully things will start to get better soon! Stay safe too!
nice video man!
I went to a Morrison's recently and it was better stocked then that one . . Got toilet paper from Aldi which was next door they had a fair amount of it in packs of 4
That’s the big question will things ever go back to normal
How did we get to point where we had far and away the highest number of infections and deaths in Europe?
Elderly population, lockdowns only delay the inevitable, high nosocomial infection, inaccurate reporting of Covid deaths, other countries being nowhere near as thorough with their figures. Turns out Sweden appears to have got it right. In my opinion we must never ever lockdown a country again.
Just an update New Zealand is now out of lockdown so that’s why I’ve been out Trainspotting again. What’s the situation like over in the UK?
That's good to hear. They are easing lockdown in the UK with a phased opening of different types of businesses. I think it may be a bit too soon though as the infection and death rate is still quite high.
@@morthren I think the NZ Government made the right decision to go early and declare a lockdown when we only had around 100 cases, NZ being put into lockdown early helped stopped the situation from getting out of control over here.
I so wish I could go and do some photography for future reference..... how did you manage it ......,
Hi Morthren, Merry Christmas! When are you going to be back?
Thanks! And to you too! Soon hopefully
1:05 - "Good Times" not anymore!
5:30 Apparently not
0:20 "neccessary" oops.
Are you taking this advice?
Travelling alone, Brother?
Same here in Las Vegas
Great Reset has begun
