It's the frustration around the fact that a lot in society are ignoring social distancing. When you are frustrated, you swing to the extreme. See, parents and tantrumming toddlers "RIGHT! All your toys, in the skip!!! I asked you nicely three time but you still keep hitting your sister, I've had ENOUGH!!!"

So how come this thread now seems to be calling for Marshal law?
Martial.

Sorry for not responding sooner.
First, please not that martial law is nothing to do with the Marshall Plan.
Secondly, I am not sure that anyone is advocating martial law; they appear to be advocating the requirement for people to stay at home to be backed by law and that that law should be enforced by the police and, where they are deputised for the police by the army. This is a long way from martial law. I don't think anyone wants the army shooting stay joggers on sight. But perhaps they do.
At present people are encouraged to stay at home. This is not working. We would all prefer this to be an encouragement and for people to follow the advice. But as it is not working, people would prefer that effective measures are taken and that means making it illegal for people not to be at home except in certain defined circumstances and for that law to be enforced.

The guidance is that you can leave home but should practice social distancing. Johnson has said that if people continue to fail to practice social distancing, the rules will have to change and that would mean a more complete lockdown
