" What does ‘as much as possible ‘ mean to you and do you think it will mean the same for everyone? " As much as possible means to me that if I really don't need to do it then don't go and do it. Then I am limiting those chances of meeting people that I don't need to meet. For example I don't NEED a McDonalds but I might want one. So I'll avoid that and avoid others who are serving them to me. I do NEED Fuel so I won't avoid that but I will STAY ALERT to the dangers of the grip on the pump handle and the pay machine etc. PS. The likleyhood of me eating a McDonalds it nil anyways lol | |||

"Can you visit a friend" I have to visit people for work and have to get closer than 2 meters to them so I don’t really get what the point in having a lockdown has been when you still have to work with strangers with no face masks or anything? | |||

Would you consider that you could possibly be a carrier of the virus and so pass it on to your friends or family, or are you confident that you haven't been in contact with the virus?
It is possible, do you have to go to work or do you work from home?
Then if it is possible, there is your answer. You wouldn't want to pass it on to your family and friends. Me, I am a carer for my 90 year old Dad and my disabled brother, so I limit the amount of time I go out in public, for their protection.
Quite rightly you wouldnt risk their health, I live alone and have to travel to work so it is possible i will be meeting friends as the government has now given me the green light to do so
Where does it say you can meet friends?
Where does it say you can’t ???

All that makes sense to me. What does ‘as much as possible ‘ mean to you and do you think it will mean the same for everyone? To me it means, only go out if essential Exactly, doesn't take much to confuse people tho, is it that difficult to understand.. Why didn’t they use the word essential then ? "I’m sure they said Stay Home unless it was essential not to, ie work, food or medical but a lot of people didn’t understand that so what does it matter what the new statement is if not everyone adhered to the first one. | |||

"It's deliberately vague because the government want to get the economy moving again, but they don't want to be seen to be responsible for infections increasing again. It's a massive abdication of responsibility. Sadly it seems there's a solid 40-45% of the country at the moment who will support the Tories no matter what, so they'll probably get away with it."

" What does ‘as much as possible ‘ mean to you and do you think it will mean the same for everyone? As much as possible means to me that if I really don't need to do it then don't go and do it. Then I am limiting those chances of meeting people that I don't need to meet. For example I don't NEED a McDonalds but I might want one. So I'll avoid that and avoid others who are serving them to me. I do NEED Fuel so I won't avoid that but I will STAY ALERT to the dangers of the grip on the pump handle and the pay machine etc. PS. The likleyhood of me eating a McDonalds it nil anyways lol And here is the problem , it doesn’t mean that to me , and it won’t mean that to millions of other people The words as much as possible actually have a very clear meaning ... its the same as saying if you can you should So if you can stay home then you should stay home People who choose to interpret it differently are doing so because it suits what they would rather do than are able to do But we have now been given the choice. Why has it gone from stay at home to stay at home where possible? Limit human contact to limit human contact where possible? " He’s giving you a little more freedom but asking you to use common sense, yes you can kick the ball in the park with your son now but don’t take next doors kids with you kind of thing. | |||

"Unlimited exercise confirmed and schools could start returning June 1st the schools things.... not quite.... first ones back would be kids who are due to go from nursary into primary, and primary into secondary... otherwise.... i think you are looking at september! Yeah Theyre letting the youngest ones go back first The ones that are the least likely to understand that they cant play tag Genius It makes sense it's the young ones who will be picked up by granny and grandpa while mum and dad are at work. I can't see anything wrong with that." It makes sense to send the 4 and 5 yr olds back first? How? | |||

The youngest ones take longer to settle back into a school routine and need more time to adjust to social distancing in school | |||

Can I lick them then? You didn't mention licking....
Ffs boris you didn't even mention licking lol
You can kiss, hug, or fuck a gun. But not lick it. You may shake an elephant while naked, but not lick it. The main think is to stay alert while you're doing these things." I'd stay alert while doing those things, better still I'd stay in! | |||

That it puts the elderly at risk doesn't seem to be a factor. | |||

I certainly wouldnt want to have to make them Not least because of the potential issues with childcare. Most people dont work 9-3 But I dont get why theyve chosen the youngest children to go back first. At the end of the day, if 4yr olds are a few months behind with their reading, they are ALL going to be behind. | |||

" But falling 4 months behind on your fundamentals could push you back the whole way through your learning, the younger you are the more like a sponge your brain is (that not scientific i know its just my understanding and i think its why they say its much easier to learn a foreign language when you are very young than as adult) The more of this prime time to start these kids off well that is missed, when they need very guided learning, the harder it might be for them to ever catch up Generally the older kids have these foundations already and will be able to catch up those missed teaching hours much easier is what i would have thought I know childcare will be an issue for some but i doubt it came into the reasoning, afterall the purpose of the school isnt actually to look after children its to educate them | |||

The former is a simple top-down instruction. The latter recommends a form of moral devolution to each individual. Further I sense (so personal opinion only) that the driver of change is almost unquestionably related to restoring the economic focus of the country. Therefore my last remaining unknown is which country are we talking about?! Thanks all. | |||
