Not sure if it's been posted yet but...


I’m going to explain Boris’s method for anybody who doesn’t quite get it. I’m not saying if I agree with his plan or not but here goes

His plan is to segregate all vulnerable people (older, ill and at risk) let’s call this group A

Anyone looking after the older, ill and at risk can be group B

The general population generally healthy can be group C

Group C needs to go about its business keeping the country moving kids at school us at work

Group B looks after group A and avoids contact with C

Group C is allowed to contract the virus and because it’s generally healthy it can cope with it better than group A

Group A and B are almost self isolating without the virus to avoid putting strain on the NHS and reducing the risk of getting the virus and then needing the NHS

Group C (the generally healthy) go through the cycle of contracting the virus self isolating and being looked after by healthy family members, friends and the local community
Anyone who has complications gets looked after by the NHS while groups A and B are kept away The NHS are not strained by A and B while it's looking after complicated cases in C

As group C comes full circle and recovers it divides in to groups that take group B’s position looking after group A allowing group B to go though the cycle

With B and C though the cycle
A is free to have NHS to itself because B and C are now clear from illness and infection and hopefully have a degree of immunity from getting it again this season.

Hope this helps

good post.

just curious now though, supermarkets must be the highest alert for spreading this virus -
Could there not be some sort of way for the elderly outside to pay a young worker to run in and get their bits. That way inside is young and Middle Aged.
 
Mates wife who works in a hospice in W Yorkshire has come home and said the residents are being prepared to be shipped elsewhere as their "home" is prepped to be an emergency mortuary.

The missus is from Basel, with most of her family in Basel, Bern, or Zurich.

We were scheduled to travel back for her best friend’s wedding in June.

We’ll see if that happens...
 
A bloke on the telly was asked the question whether, if a family is doing the 14 Day isolation and a second family member gets the virus, does the clock restart. He said, no. If the second one catches it on Day 12 the rest can still come out of isolation after Day 14.

seemed like good news, but what is the rationale?

Lidl, here in Ireland are operating shopping times for the elderly. 9a.m. - 11a.m.
It’s a good idea I think. Not just that it cuts down the mixing with others element, but they were being completely left behind during the mad first couple of days, where twats were stockpiling.
So the shop would be sufficiently stocked for them when they come in at these hours.
Other local supermarkets that I know of have banned children. Cut the numbers down and made it single shoppers only.

Not surprising. It and other measures are in the emergency plan which is openly available on the gov web site. there are quite a few measures addressing this subject.

What a lot of people don’t realise is that the Trafford Centre stock body bags on occasions and did so in the build up to Christmas 2017, in anticipation that there may be a terror attack.

I really would love the Police involved to stop the panic buying
 
A local guy I know who’s 85 and not in the best health is continuing to go to the pub.

There’s three lads at work who are currently at a pub quiz.

The government really needs to close them because people aren’t and won’t listen.

it’s a matter of time.

they’ve ensured half less will go but advising them to stay away - anyone still going over 70 is risking their life though

It's very much the responsibility of the shops themselves to manage this with security staff etc. May well come a point when police are needed to deal with more civil unrest if this continues to develop.
