So the R0 figure we are monitoring is R0 across the gen pop and excluding care homes? Or is it all lumped in together?
Care homes are cut off from the outside aside from staff going in and out,the trouble is stopping it spreading within the home,it is two different things if you like,sorting that bubble out and keeping the R down in the general population,i think I am right saying the R we get told about every day is just the population outside of care homes,if i am wrong somebody will correct me
 
Absolutely right. The economy needs to get going again but we need to let employers know that the health and well-being of staff should not be put at risk.
....or their employment either, employers and employees have been put in a terrible situation with this statement, some employers will insist, some employees will desist, a hopeless mess imho.
 
Once the genie’s out of the bottle, there’ll be frig all chance of getting it back in, especially in this country with the cretinous right wing media egging dissenters on. No way will we go back to a lockdown unless the death rate becomes absolutely catastrophic

It’ll not be put back in but it can certainly be controlled.

If the R rate goes above 1 he will lockdown again.

Much like the rest of the world.

You forget we have a whole world fighting a similar battle, if other western countries start falling apart it won’t be difficult to lockdown again, imo.

I wouldn't think you're far off there. The problem now is making sure it doesn't spread from care homes.
 
That's not what he said.


“So, work from home if you can, but you should go to work if you can’t work from home.”



So barbers would be within their rights to assume they can reopen....except the public aren't supposed to visit.

All a bit vague and wishy-washy.
If my hair was two metres long then I would be surprised but able to visit the barbers?
 
Not everyone is that lucky though.
Its not till something like this happens you realise what a greedy pair of shit houses you work for.
But it's not exactly the best time to be looking for a new job

Don't want to fall out, thats life, some good some not so. Just stay safe and good luck.

That’s a good point. It’s more the attitude of the population I’m on about. It was hard enough getting a significant minority to comply with lockdown first time around, and I think the situation would have to be absolutely dire to get the same compliance second time around, after people have had a taste of normality
 
I wouldn't think you're far off there. The problem now is making sure it doesn't leave those care homes.
Things that have been lost in the chaos include a home where the manager asked 8 of her staff to move in and lock the home down,the manager was sleeping in the boiler room and two were in tents in the garden,minimum wage staff staying away from their families to try keep their residents safe.hancock says homes had been a priority from the start which is a lie,even now care staff can't get tested let alone the residents,it is a scandal it really is,finally though no gov of any colour can do what they have been doing over decades and ignore social care
 
This decision wasn't a health/science made decision.

Otherwise being able to see family from different households would have been announced first.

Especially before the back to work message where you mix with far more people.
