You have to remember also that most businesses are now shutting down. Those who can’t work from home, unless they are public sector or logistics, haven’t got a place to go to work.

So effectively, yes. Lockdown.

Just spoke to someone else

Boris has not closed every work place, basically he’s closed all none essential retail shops so only food shops are open. So my place of work is still open and I’m to carry on as normal but don’t go anywhere else other than straight to work and back unless I need something essential from the shops.

I'm sure any industry involving food is classed as essential. From abbatoirs, farms, processing and packing plants, warehouses and logistics. This is my logic but I'm sure anyone feeling unclear should contact their employers.

No longer just recommendations.

Enforcement by police to disperse crowds, collectives of more than 2 unless in one household.

Further announcement of work closures such as non-essential retail.

I've put summary up on a photo. I'll make it my avatar when sorted.

How is it that people are to blame when a government who sat on their hands are not to blame.

When we could have closed our borders (like Germany), forced incoming people into isolation (like Israel)? When we kept our schools open too long. When we didn't order testing kits until it became a crisis...

All the people of the UK have done is follow the lackadaisical example set by our leaders.

I’d say we’re better equipped to deal with this right now than any previous point in time.

We’re also very fortunate to have the NHS, I’m not saying it’s perfect but I’d much rather be here in the uk than a lot of other places in the world.

Germany didn't hide away. They were vigilant. They tested fanatically, traced contactees and enforced measures early on. At this point they have one of the lowest imfection rates in central Europe. They are reporting that their infection rate is flattening out.

In China one should note that only a tiny percentage of their population is infected. Yet despite their huge population they have relatively few new cases.

This is going to be the norm. Lockdown for a few months. Then letting people do some sort of socialising followed by another lockdown period and continue repeating. Will keep the numbers down to hopefully let the NHS cope. This will continue until a vaccine is produced in lRge enough amounts for the population

"Plumbers and electricians can still work but builders can't ???

It's very inconsistent

Why close a small pub but have an office open.with 200 people?

Yes and why did our PM subject me to mixing with 300 people in Asda last Saturday?

Should have went The aldi

In order to save costs we have reduced public transport, forcing people to crowd together on trains etc. Making the risk of infection worse.

Money trumping public wellbeing yet again.

Immunity cannot happen until we have a vaccine, we have no idea whether catching Covid19 gives ongoing immunity.

He didn't actually say only key workers should go to work in his speech. He said people who can't work from home can still go to work unless retail ect that are closed.

Exactly how I read it as well. Major differences are police can enforce social distancing by breaking up gatherings. And majority of non food retail to close.

Glad I'm not the only one that thought this, it's confusing as the news outlets etc are staying only key workers. I'm not a direct key worker but care for horses and work alone anyway!

Yes, I agree with you. The PM had all the data to evaluate the evolution of the virus. The situation in Italy had created statistical data that could be easily studied. He thought about economics and finance. Like the BCE and the northern European countries initially. But when the president of the Italian republic spoke to the BCE remembering that the economy and finance were created after the Second World War to serve European citizens. Not the other. No older person should die in a democratic state. If this is done, citizens will lose confidence in the political system and democratic representation. And there is a risk that citizens who trust multinationals or companies more than democratic states. And from the day after this very strong declaration, the BCE rushed to say that it supported all European states, Italy in the first place. Here in the UK this mess hasn't passed. Finance before citizens. Now we are shifting gears but very calmly. Now it's late. The virus does not wait for incompatibles

Can we please spare a thought for all of the workers still in the risk zone.Ann-Marie is not a key worker in our eyes but her employer has decided that they are.So much so they had a letter of agreement passed at 9.31pm saying that they are fine to stay open.We're really worried for her safety as they have no sanitise, gloves or proper ppe and are front line customer facing staff. Serving customers and not even been able to space 1 meter away let alone 2 due to checkout restrictions.Sorry if a rant but she's really scared.

On the note of tragedy

The country and indeed world has rightly gone into a lock down

Spare a thought from those non recovered from other recent disasters currently with no homes to lock down

Our flood victims and world wide flood, earthquake, forest fires

This must be the damn icing on a pretty shit cake

So all those in the word where this lock down is a huge second kick in the proverbial tender bits

No groups intentionally missed I'm sure we can think of many but the UK flood victims did seem a bit recent where this must hurt

So im working in front line and i must say for all this idiots on here who post that they are still going dogging and meeting and tbh most of them dont look really healthy. You have to understand that with your meet you can get infected when you can avoid that . Its not enough that they are not many beds and respirators in hospitals but you have to think that you take a old person bed or a person who need that bed just for 5 min of fun . Lets be serious and accept the measures the government input now . Its the best thing with this lockdown . So dont be stupid stay home. As we risk the life for you working in this kind of environment so you can be safe at home . Your paid to stay home Wo do it . Watch tv , series play video games , masturbate do whatever you want but dont play with other people life

"Hiding away from the virus would not have eradicated it. Timing is essential. Immunity of the populous still has to happen.

Immunity cannot happen until we have a vaccine, we have no idea whether catching Covid19 gives ongoing immunity."

When you catch a bug your immune system kicks in. Our little army fights it. If part of the army remembers it from a prior exposure, it knows how to fight it before the disease takes hold. If never seen it before, the intelligence part of the army records it so it will be able to fight it quickly next time. This is immunity very simply put.

Vaccine is simply triggering this process without a full fight the first time around.

Immunity is happening all the time.its up to your body if it fights it or not.

If you have a good immune system, not much will happen, however if it was weak then most likely you will suffer and less likely you will die

Cut 8,000 hospital beds. Cut nursing training bursaries to £0.00. Cut 20 hospitals. Freeze GP salaries until GP surgeries shut. Tell ancillary staff they're unwelcome. Create a massive staffing crisis. Tell people a week ago that they ought to go and get Corvid 19 virus to get 'herd immunity,' which is not how herd immunity works, which is why going out to get polio is bad idea.

Then stand behind a banner that reads "Protect the NHS."

Sorry, forgot. Boris is doing a wonderful job.

What I meant, as a response to the tweet I quoted, was that sufficient 'herd'immunity cannot happen until we have a vaccine and that is not coming soon. The point of 'hiding away' from the virus is to give us more time.
