As I was commuting this morning - there wasn't really a great upsurge in vehicles on the road - the car park at work was similar to my usual 7:15 arrival, both occurrences still well below pre-lockdown numbers.
I was astonished by some of the comments on Radio 2 this morning, basically we've become a nation of moron's and we need the government to tell us what to do at every turn in the corner.
1 union guy was harping on about people wont know what to do.... you've had 6/7 weeks to prepare the way to introduce practices to enable people to return to work. If not they stay at home...simples..
His 1 comment had me crying in the car....."What will people do when they get to the lift, they wont know which buttons they can press" did you really say that on national radio....perhaps you should be developing a robust entry and exit plan instead...
I agree totally with the above about public transport etc....but come on, lets start thinking for ourselves....
On another point....
I am waiting with bated breath for the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish governments to start setting out their own road maps back to "normal" before the English government....

Some clarification on last nights announcement stolen from facebook
* 4 year olds can go to school but university students who have paid for the tuition they haven’t had and the accommodation they aren’t living in, can’t go to university.
* I can go to school with many 4 year olds that I’m not related to but can’t see one 4 year old that I am related to.
* I can sit in a park, but not tomorrow or Tuesday but by Wednesday that’ll be fine.
* I can meet one person from another household for a chat or to sunbathe but not two people so if I know two people from another household I have to pick my favourite. But I can’t go closer than 2m to the one I choose anyway so you wouldn’t think having the other one sat next to them would matter - unless two people would restrict my eyeline too much and prevent me from being alert.
* I can work all day with my colleagues but I can’t sit in their garden for a chat after work.
* I can now do unlimited exercise when quite frankly just doing an hour a day felt like I was some kind of fitness guru. I can think of lots of things that I would like to be unlimited but exercise definitely isn’t one of them.
* I can drive to other destinations although which destinations is unclear. I was supposed to be in Brighton this weekend. Can I drive there?
* The buses are still running past my house but I shouldn’t get on one. We should just let empty buses drive around so bus drivers aren’t doing nothing.
* It will soon be time to quarantine people coming into the country by air... but not yet. It’s too soon. And not ever if you’re coming from France because... well, I don’t do know why, actually. Because the French version of coronavirus wouldn’t come to the UK maybe.
* Our youngest children go back to school first because... they are notoriously good at not touching things they shouldn’t, maintain personal space at all times and never randomly lick you.
* We are somewhere in between 3.5 and 4.5 on a five point scale where 5 is all of the virus and 1 is none of the virus but 2,3 and 4 can be anything you’d like it to be really. Some of the virus? A bit of the virus? Just enough virus to see off those over 70s who were told to self isolate but now we’ve realised that they’ve done that a bit too well despite us offloading coronavirus patients into care homes and now we are claiming that was never said in the first place, even though it’s in writing in the stay at home guidance.
* The slogan isn’t stay at home any more.So we don’t have to say at home. Except we do. Unless we can’t. In which case we should go out. But there will be fines if we break the rules. So don’t do that.
Don’t forget...
Stay alert... which Robert Jenrick has explained actually means Stay home as much as possible. Obviously.
Control the virus. Well, I can’t even control my dogs and I can actually see them. Plus I know a bit about dogs and very little about controlling viruses.
Save lives. Always preferable to not saving lives, I’d say, so I’ll try my best with that
one, although hopefully I don’t need telling to do that. I know I’m bragging now but not NOT saving lives is something I do every day.
So there you are. If you’re the weirdo wanting unlimited exercise then enjoy. But not until Wednesday. Obviously.

Close but no cigar. Apart from being the wrong shapes there shouldn't be a line from the 'No' under 'Can you work from home' off to the right.
But yes, it's hardly rocket science. I am irritably minded of Ripley's quote 'Did IQ's just drop suddenly while I was away'?

if we are getting picky - just because you can’t socially distance doesn’t mean you have to or should start at home.
All the same made me smile

That suggests the Government think that we are in this for the long haul. And expect a second spike.
