We have had emails both from the company and union letting us know June's pay is no change but get ready for bad newsChanges to furlough pay to be announced today.
Be interesting theres no way the firm I work for will pay for people to be off work.
Wrong I know

For me personally an enhanced redundancy package would be good news as it would allow me to retire I was more thinking of others. Suppose its all leverage on their govt support request.Surely good news
For people who say the measures are being eased due to political reasons, why are Scotland doing pretty much the exact same thing at the same time?
Fwiw I think it is too early but 1st June was always the plan and obviously they don’t want to budge on it.
It wont be good news for people who are on furlough when they announce it's been cut to 60%.Surely good news
It's undoubtedly an impossible balancing act but we've had time to put things in place like an app that works etc and we've just slept on it for months.If they don't ease restrictions they'd be slated for it and if they do they'd be slated for it, so is the state of the mindset of the media and people of an opposite political position.

Whatever changes happen won't change mine & Mrs Moon's lifestyle in the short-term my only lax moment has been a game of golf last week, I'll be off to play again when my mate can get some time off work but that apart its shopping early doors and in the backyard/garden with the odd drive staying in the car.
For what it's worth, I agree. I could possibly believe 30%, but 70%? No. Other surveys will confirm one way or the other there are a lot appearing at the moment.I find that hard to believe tbh.
The conclusion if true (as stated in the article) would be that contact tracing would be unlikely to work, because even if you were 100% successful at identifying cases and their contacts and isolating all of them (clearly impossible) you would only be isolating 30% of infected people and their contacts. And perhaps half of that in reality.
And yet the empirical evidence from places like South Korea is that extensive testing and contact tracing does work, and in fact is incredibly effective. I cannot imagine how South Korea would have managed to keep the death toll down to 269 (they have a similar population and population density to us) if they could never identify 70% plus of infected people. That makes no sense.
Schools closed in S.Korea again.

"That followed the country's biggest jump in coronavirus cases in more than 50 days on Thursday, when it was reported 79 more people had become infected."
I'll call this. From the scientific papers I've read, I'd say anybody can meet outside so long as they stay 1 metre apart. 2 is overkill.
Public transport and mixing inside though is VERY problematic.
Just for a bit of balance, they don’t think opening the schools caused the spike, they are attributing it to a distribution centre for an e-commerce company. Closing the schools is a precautionary step.Schools closed in S.Korea again.

70% makes perfect sense to me. Ask yourself why the spread of this virus was never exponential and reached it’s peak a week before lockdown. Ask yourself why the average age of a Coronavirus death is 80 and with significant co-morbidities, and the percentage of healthy under 50s dying from this is tiny. The answer is obvious but people don’t want to hear it yet.For what it's worth, I agree. I could possibly believe 30%, but 70%? No. Other surveys will confirm one way or the other there are a lot appearing at the moment.
You actually don't need testing for track and trace to work as proven in Taiwan.
Testing helps massively of course, but it isn't 100% necessary.
No one actually knows the accuracy of PCR testing as there is no gold standard.and the success rate of covid 19 tests is...
70%
Hmmmmm

Incidently, having re-read the article again, I think they are refering to the fact that 70% of infected people aren't showing symptoms AT THE TIME of testing. Poor English on the authors part , but something I am more readily able to believe - after all the average time to show symptoms after infection is 5.1 days70% of infected people dont show symptoms. The reason why this virus is such a bugger.

Sure but you can't do track and trace if 70% of the people infected have no idea they may be infected.For what it's worth, I agree. I could possibly believe 30%, but 70%? No. Other surveys will confirm one way or the other there are a lot appearing at the moment.

Track and trace is a government ruse to convince those they’ve scared the living daylights out of that it’s safe to go back to work.Sure but you can't do track and trace if 70% of the people infected have no idea they may be infected.
