So does the lockdown end on Tuesday?

They will have to announce either way soon. I can see another week or two?

until Monday 4 May , partial release is my guess

shops opening
No gatherings
Social distancing to continue


But then we will absolutely fuck it up by allowing flights in and out of the country to start again and people will be able to fly into here from all over the world with no health checks or quarantine requirements on entry.

we will back to square one within a fortnight.

Depends whether it’s raw data being used to make a headline. Or analysed data being used to make decisions on how to proceed. The judgements on who did what right and who did what wrong is for when we have better complete data.

Completely disagree. We have to act now. It's no good saying we'll wait until all this is over and all the data is fully in. That won't save any lives. We need to look at the success of countries like Germany/South Korea now and look at what they're doing and did differently to us. Sitting around and saying 'there could be a 2% margin of error here/data's not fully comparable' would be absolutely egregious when we can see clear trends forming.

Yes , we have to act now, we are and will be monitoring all sorts of information. We know testing is a way out , testing is being ramped up as fast as we can. Hopefully by end of April we will be somewhere near the 100, 000 target and we can see an exit strategy.

The exit strategy is stay home until a vaccine arrives. Unless we want another two waves of deaths after this one.

 

[worsleyweb]

try 3 or 4

You think that long.

No it isn’t.You think lockdown in any countries goes on until a vaccine, probably next winter, is sustainable anywhere in the world?

Think 3 myself, some lifting of restrictions 4 th May. Maybe non essential shops, small gatherings of family members possibly restaurants bookings only small tables bits like that.
