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

There'll definitely be a second spike this isn't about saving all of us , it's drip feeding us to the NHS in manageable numbers and making sure we don't have to start digging plague pits if too many go at once.

there isn't going to be a vaccine any time soon, if at all so it's looking like you take your chances , on the plus side it's looking like golfers go first

On facebook a couple of weeks ago I read a comment from a guy somewhere in Europe, can't remember where , it was something like , I thought this guy was a comedy character , like Mr Bean, unbelievable when I found out he was the Prime Minister.

Is it any wonder , it really is like the tories are taking the **** , the man has no dignity and is laughing at us , the worst kind of snob , thinks he's better than everybody

More **** journalism trying to grab headlines, full of ifs and buts and coulds, no original thought and statements that are blindingly obvious to anybody with the intelligence of an amoeba Here you have the same newspaper both complaining about the potential for more deaths if lockdown is relaxed at the same time as “sensationally” complaining that the economy has shrunk. Duh. Well that’s news, I though it would have been growing..... There is quite simply no media or news worth reading anymore anywhere. It’s all ********

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.

It would seem your sense is not common in the government.

No news or media worth reading?
if only you had a hedge.
Zero chance of that though. ;)

“Are you worried?”
Yes I bloody well am!
If anyone knows Keir Starmer can you stop him from asking questions that require factual responses!
We are well in control of this war,-which we are clearly winning, cos I say we are. That is clearly common sense and everything else in comparison to Europe is not relevant anymore, as are figures that may appear to be worse. They are not, especially when you factor in unknown factors yet unknown and therefore the true state of the UK’s position remains unknown.
