You can still go to the pub, meet outdoors and go to work but can't go to ya mates house
Basically, mostly areas populated by South Asians. Stop people celebrating Eid together with the intention of reducing the risk of further spread.Tweet

Well I’ve not been in the office since March so I’m not worried personally but it’s a little short on detail for people who work in retail or service etc. If you can’t be indoors with anyone not from your household then people can’t go and work in a shop or cafe or whatever.That should be the case. Doubt it will though. WoRk iS EvEryThiNg.
Was I the only person who missed the news that it was okay in the first place? My dad came over to drop something off the other week and waltzed in. I told him he wasn't allowed and shooed him back outside like next door's cat!Tweet

Think the "meeting" part of the statement was deliberate. So I couldn't arrange with my mate to go the pub, but I could be in there (and distance) with a bunch of people I dont know.Well I’ve not been in the office since March so I’m not worried personally but it’s a little short on detail for people who work in retail or service etc. If you can’t be indoors with anyone not from your household then people can’t go and work in a shop or cafe or whatever.
Thats been allowed for a little while now.Was I the only person who missed the news that it was okay in the first place? My dad came over to drop something off the other week and waltzed in. I told him he wasn't allowed and shooed him back outside like next door's cat!
Possibly but it’s (not unsurprisingly) not very clear.Think the "meeting" part of the statement was deliberate. So I couldn't arrange with my mate to go the pub, but I could be in there (and distance) with a bunch of people I dont know.
Thing is, pubs are quite good with the social distancing aspect, they have staff to help with itYou can still go to the pub, meet outdoors and go to work but can't go to ya mates house

Tell me that at pubs in the north tomorrow around 7pm when its 30 degrees outside!Thing is, pubs are quite good with the social distancing aspect, they have staff to help with it
Work is the same.
Outdoors isn't a massive issue because of how it transmits?
Going to your mates tiny front room with 8 others is just stupid anyway
You shouldn't let next door's cat in at the moment, alas, stroking you neighbour's cat is like stroking your neighbour.Was I the only person who missed the news that it was okay in the first place?

I don't, that's the point. It just tries to get in on occasion.You shouldn't let next door's cat in at the moment, alas, stroking you neighbour's cat is like stroking your neighbour.
Work places have stuff in place for their staff, visors, gloves, distancing measures, shutting aisles off during restock. Now with the mandatory (haha, not really, nobody to enforce, however it is working as most are wearing them). So going to work should be ok anyway. Businesses are policing it anyway as an outbreak is massively bad for their reputation.Well I’ve not been in the office since March so I’m not worried personally but it’s a little short on detail for people who work in retail or service etc. If you can’t be indoors with anyone not from your household then people can’t go and work in a shop or cafe or whatever.
Call 111, it's quicker.Anybody have experience getting a home test delivered? I've been feeling incredibly tired over the past 4 days and went to order one only to have it decline me after entering my details
Basically everything is still open but you cant plan to meet anyone in the social situations unless they are outside, but if they happen to be in the same place as you at the same time then that's okWork places have stuff in place for their staff, visors, gloves, distancing measures, shutting aisles off during restock.

Cheers, will do tomorrow morning.Call 111, it's quicker.
Pretty much, if people want to catch it they're going to catch it, atleast it takes them out of the equation as spreaders after that for at least 2-3 months.Basically everything is still open but you cant plan to meet anyone in the social situations unless they are outside, but if they happen to be in the same place as you at the same time then that's ok
Italy getting jealous of other countries taking the lead. I get it.Looks like Italy is determined to rejoin the party. Highest daily case count for 2 months today. I don't know for certain why but the only rule that has changed in recent weeks is that masks are no longer compulsory everywhere you go.
So you can meet anyone you like inside a Gym, pub, restaurant or McDonalds (and get a discount) but you can’t visit your relatives? Is that it?Basically, mostly areas populated by South Asians. Stop people celebrating Eid together with the intention of reducing the risk of further spread.
Does anyone even take notice of his statements any more?Tweet

Ive had home test delivered just prior to leicester lockdown and it came quickly (within 24 hours)Anybody have experience getting a home test delivered? I've been feeling incredibly tired over the past 4 days and went to order one only to have it decline me after entering my details
It’s just stupid soundbites from the UK. Restrictions that can’t be enforced and won’t be followed if people aren’t already doing it.Does anyone even take notice of his statements any more?
who is enforcing these dictats?
The UK response just seems like an utter mish mash clusterfeck, with no clear idea or strategy since day one.It is a bit of a joke that these things have been announced through people pestering their MPs on social media and drip by drip information put out on twitter with no consideration on the impact these things have on people's livelihoods. And the vagueness and questions these announcement prompt along with the stress doesn't help.
Yes, maybe, who knows, I think so.So you can meet anyone you like inside a Gym, pub, restaurant or McDonalds (And get a discount) but you can’t visit your relatives? Is that it?

We truly are a shambles
The figures for cases vary too much to use them other than showing a broad view at the given time. Each country not only counts differently, and change but had different phases of increasing testing and capacity throughout the outbreaks. Blood tests show about 5% of Spain had it for example, so we're talking 2-3 million but a few hundred thousand were found positive.I've not been following this thread, admittedly, but doesn't anyone find the 'official' figures per Worldometer a little fishy?
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
Are we to believe that the Iranian health service is so much better than the NHS? A similar number of cases, yet, mercifully, only a little over a 1/3 the number of deaths?
8.5 times the number of cases in Brazil, a country that, apparently, doesn't give a feck about Coronavirus, yet only twice the number of deaths?
Even in Europe, it was well documented that Germany was doing better than most, but they still have 2/3rds the number of cases in the UK, but, again, mercifully, only 20% of the number of deaths.
France's figures do seem to be more in proportion, although their lock down was particularly severe and there were less cases overall.
Someone isn't telling the whole truth here, because I simply do not believe these 'official' figures.
So I could start getting rat arsed down the pub nightly with my mates, but can't consider having my mum round to help out with our 12-week-old.
