Think you can as lonh as you social distance

If you travel by plane to them then you should be virus free.

There are plenty of ones with higher reliability than others. Germany and NYC have conducted tests and they're confident in them. And anyway, as I said - if they cant do it, explain why. That's fair enough. He should tell us. I have no problem with timelines.

ok there isn’t a reliable antibody test. Is that ok?

I don’t think that means they’re counted in the stats if it’s just suspected. I only skim read it but it seemed that a doctor can put Covid as a cause on a death certificate before it’s confirmed by test, then a further notification is made when the result comes through to put it on the official stats.

no they can use judgement .

Yep fair enough he did, but he emphasised those two I thought.

I've already said "what a mess", not sure what else can be said, its bad for employees, and employers, my missus can't "work from home", and she's now in flap about whether she should go to work tomorrow, but she works in a dentist that can't treat patients anyway. Far far more questions than answers, it would have been far better to just continue as we are, with increased outside time, the bit about schools is delayed and dependent on other factors, so I don't have an issue with that bit, but what about parents asked to go to work tomorrow, who looks after their kids ?

Also the media aren't helping, watching the bbc news just now they said you can play sport, but they never mentioned the "only with a member of your household" bit, that's poor reporting and adds to the overall confused message.

Im not sure why your mrs is confused by that. If she cant work cos they arent doing anything there then nothing has changed has it?

I’m not disagreeing with you. It’s just a question of when it goes on the stats.

Yeah, I really do. Do you think I want tens of thousands to die just to make a political point? I want my loved ones safe! If he gives any reason to support him I will do. Their response so far has been poor though.

There are very few people on here if at all want the gov to fail,this is fucking serious,it is not a game,those insisting no mistakes have been made really do all of those who have died a disservice and all of the millions in this country who are truly fearful what is coming next

yes but the cause on death certificate and in the death stats can simply be judgement and part of many more serious illnesses . It’s still though a Covid death stat .

Mask slipped - nice try though. Took you one post to revert to type.

You're a grown adult and you literally idolise Boris Johnson. We all know this. Fine. It doesn't make anyone who doesnt a dick. Get over it.

Once again. I want him to succeed cos I want my family to live. I want your family to live. I want everyone on this forum's family to live. Do you hand on heart believe that I'd take my parents dying to make the Tories look bad? Come on man.

Who is he forcing back to work tomorrow? Which businesses has he commanded to open their doors?

himself would be nice.

Fair enough. He should explain where we're at though. And explain all the other things too while hes at it. Then people will be happy. Simple.
