Have to say I’m beginning to come round to the fact that at some point people are just going to say FUCK IT, we cannot carry on like this, I’m in the fortunate position of both of us still earning but others are really going to struggle after this 3 months that the government have been furloughed.
After the crash in 2007 I said to my now wife it would be 15-20 of austerity and as a public sector worker I’ve born the brunt of that with basically a real term cut in pay of around £5k, austerity will now carry on for another 15 years. There will be a generation of workers in both public and private who are basically paying for the debt of the country for most of their working lives.
I don’t know the answer but my elderly parents have accepted lockdown and if it’s a year so be it, what will happen though is we will get tests and then go visit them properly but not before, kids are going to have to go back to school, masks and cleanliness will be the new norm and I think people will just change their habits to not come into contact with people if they don’t have to. Football isn’t coming back for a long time.
Every day the media has been asking when the exit strategy will begin.
If it starts on Friday the media will be asking why has the exit strategy begun.
Long term, some things will change for the better. I think peoples 'work life balance' will forever be changed for the better.
No fucking way am I doing 5 days a week in an office going forward.
they are just reporting what the public is demanding - most people I know are asking when it’s gonna be lifted
I'll have your p45 in the post tomorrow. Signed , Your Boss
In the words of the UK's main coronavirus task force man Sir Pat Vallance,what I genuinely don't understand is where the numbers are relatively small, why the fuck are we not doing proper contact tracing at all? Its the same in Scotland, on the face of it the daily numbers look manageable to trace contacts and quarantine them.

I get that , but come Friday the media will flip and say it it is wrong to start the exit.
And say the public are asking why.
