BoJo news conference at 7, questions from media & public.

Government seem to be deliberately vague in these interviews now to put the onus on the general public, you need to be concise and clear in every point if you give our population an inch they will take a mile.

I think the next few months are going to be devastating even worse than it is now.

I think that's part of the reason Italy struggled so much - can't imagine your average Neapolitan taking too kindly to authority!

The Neapolitans do have ways of showing their displeasure....

A good plate full of sprouts washed down with a few pints of Robinsons bitter would do the job much better.

I agree, more fun too.

Pre-recorded questions?

So all flights to the UK will require 14 day quarantining, unless they are from France, then they won’t. And no quarantining necessary if you come through the tunnel or on a cross channel ferry.
Clear?

Kent will be a place to avoid. Not as if I needed another excuse.

While I understand your thinking, some things at the margin are best left to discretion. It’s a trait of many people (not you) to ask nit-shit questions instead of using common sense. Then certain government reps - either because they are poorly briefed or just not very nimble - swallow the bait and fcuk up the answer.

You can’t legislate for every last detail. If you try, you’ll almost inevitably fall foul of the law of unintended consequences.

Although they’ve made some boo-boos, I also believe the government have bent over backwards to be non-dictatorial and non-confrontational, and to treat the public as having some intelligence. Not a popular view on here but it’s something I go along with. Personally, I don’t like to be micro-managed.

Having said all that, there is some middle ground here.

Not seeing as many articles on how research into treatment & vaccines are going of late (and there’s probs my a multitude of reasons for that).
Are we generally looking at going over the trenches now and taking as many hits (but with careful dodging) as we can to enter that herd immunity?
What the latest on those who’ve had the virus being free of secondary infections?

May have been addressed but what’s to drop anyone who wants to come here and avoid quanrantine travelling through France?

Or if I fly to Nice, get the train or hire a car go around Italy for a bit, fly back from Nice. Is it no quarantine. But fly to Milan drive around Italy a bit fly back fromMilan 2 weeks quarantine. Can’t see any sensible reasoning to a French exemption.
