Get production / construction back up and running basically.

SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
Jingoism in the absence of substance. If we're still getting 4k infections a day and that's just the ones we know about, that ride downhill may be with no brakes and blindfolded.
It’s what I was hoping for yes, strange we could possibly go to the pub before going to family.
So much unexplained from that speech ...
"Now boswas johnstones is dribbling"
The NYT article describes the question as "unsettled" and the Nature article outlines a number of different papers that present different perspectives from different fields so I share the scepticism about any one finding. I think the only reasonable position to take from the information available is that we can't say for certain that economic recessions = more deaths.
The felt like a whole bunch of nothing.
So what, are they going to end the furlough scheme?
The best thing to do when you have a simple 5 level alert system in place is to have the very first marker you ever show hovering at 3.5. So it's a 10 level system then?
I feel like this will make things worse.
I cannot believe Beth Rigby just said you can “go swimming in an outdoor pond” from Wednesday
I guess if you can both bump into each other at park and sit two meters apart ?
I have had couple of emails through over the weekend advising to continue working from home for the time being but yeah I can imagine some employers are itching to get going. Just hoping they have made it safe for everyone.
Of course it will and they know that. The strategy has always been herd immunity.
I feel he hasn't really changed anything to be honest.
He now has to bring this to parliament and fill in all the blanks before we get to see the full plan.
At least when Ireland announced their plan they had a document online within minutes of his speech for everyone to read.

It got them elected. If it aint broke....
Yep mine is itching to get people back he keeps sending video messages and is chomping at the bit to have people back, I'm currently wfh but can see people being forced back into the office
Oh i absolutely agree that we should not just "get on with it", so like i said i agree with the rest of you post.
And your professors probably knows alot more than me, but there is no evidence anywhere, that i can find atleast, to prove that it can reactivate inside the host. So we should not state that like its a fact.
Thats true, and i would like my children not to catch it also, but for now there is nothing that supports that children get anything else than a mild disease and so far nothing to point to that they get much complications in the future. That might change when we learn more of course, but so far the signs are "good" for children with Covid-19.
Prolixity is a nice word, thanks for expanding my vocab!
Garden centres were one of the first things to reopen in other countries, too.
Same here.
People just like moaning for feck all. Not happy unless they're miserable. The Mrs is the same.
Thing is, you can work from home so keep doing that, if you have been WFH for this long, it's obviously working. Employers who now force WFH workers back are going to be liable if anyone in the office becomes sick.
In 12 hours time millions of people may or may not need to go into work...
Considering today’s update has been talked about for weeks, how fecking vague can this man be?

That was bloody funny!I cannot believe Beth Rigby just said you can “go swimming in an outdoor pond” from Wednesday
Unless productivity has dropped for you guys I don't why you would want people back in the office, WFH will be the way forward for so many of us so he / she needs to adapt with the times.
Indeed they should be. If I get forced in I'll try my best to argue it and say I've got the set up now and the advice is to wfh if you can
It feels like they are rushing to satisfy the media. They need to specify businesses that are ok they seem to be allowing people to go back before they issue the guidance document
There wasn't any clarity about going back to work where social distancing is an issue. Hairdressing being the obvious one. It just has to be assumed that this is still not permitted - it should have been made clear though but instead he just encouraged everyone to go back to work if they cannot work from home.
Apparently people miss the "office banter" I dont. Not a reason to get people back yet imo or at least give them the option and get back just those furloughed
Always seems like a control thing to me. Our managers have been fair they told us to WFH the week before the govt did and said they will review this at the end of May as the latest stance. Still you know deep down they want us back in as soon as it is realistic.
Yes and that will be the problem. Reciepe for disaster. Not very clear at all. I assume it’s stay as you are and only your own immediate family you live with and not anyone else.
Pretty much seems they want manufacturing and construction to restart.
“When we began, we hadn’t seen anything like this before” eh? What about China?
Was full of gems like this. Pure waffle.
So people could go to work with questionable hygiene colleagues but not see family...
I've been reading Evelyn Waugh- he's great for learning new words!

We'll end up back in DEFCON 4 in no time.
Then we'll all miss DEFCON 3.5.
