Not really. In your haste to condemn and hear what you expectye ro wanted to you missed the context entire;y.

 

"And if we are to control this virus, then we must have a world-beating system for testing potential victims, and for tracing their contacts. 

  

So that – all told - we are testing literally hundreds of thousands of people every day."

Line two follows line one, and it's pretty obvious that's the case.

You must be very disappointed.

Even you must accept this is confusing.

Builders etc?

Ikea is still planning to reopen, so it must apply to larger shops?

 

Builders, manufacturing etc. He mentioned shops opening from 1st June

The figure that matters is deaths and ICU admissions/occupancy.

But any increased infection numbers that are masked in the greater capacity for testing won't show up until a patient requires hospital care, which isn't straight away. There are a good few of us on here expecting a spike in a few weeks.

I believe that IKEA was always allowed to open. They chose to close down before lock down.

 

Homeware is one of the exceptions.

Its ok spouting on about Schools , didn't the unions say they wont be going back until they are happy its safe to ? , I presume PPE is included.

You really have lost all rationality haven't you

If you can take your head out of Boris's backside for one moment, you have to admit this is all very confusing

Listen to Starmer. Sums it up

He never shut manufacturing , we have stayed open throughout

After weeks of contradictory media briefings the Prime Minister has confirmed quarantine measures will be introduced for people returning to Britain by air - but apparently not yet. What could possibly be the scientific basis behind this decision? Clarity is urgently needed https://t.co/iTIH2xvRWx

Prime Minister Boris Johnson says anyone who can’t work at home - particularly those in construction and manufacturing - should be ‘actively encouraged’ to go to work but avoid public transport.

Given that I haven't posted much on here it's rather pathetic of you to ascribe a view to me that I don't hold.

 

I didn't want Johnson to win the Tory leadership and I'm a remainer.

 

So in your utter nightmare of an evening you've just gone further down the rabbit hole

 

At least I can read two sentences and not get basic comprehension horribly wrong.

Tbh, the teaching unions have got very little power. If the government and school management want schools open schools will be open, PPE or no PPE.

I'm not sure what the big deal is about exercising as much as you want. Who was actually timing it before? What difference does it make either way. Most people didn't do any before anyway!

---

If you can go to work you should, but avoid public transport.

Crazy. How are people meant to get to work then in London?

---

The message seems to be that construction workers should go back to work, on foot, to make money for people who don't care if they live or die.

Increased fines for the flouters, like the idea of that if they can enforce it. Some enthusiastic county police will be chomping at the bit on that one!

He never shut manufacturing , we have stayed open throughout 

My understanding was always that if social Distancing could be maintained, then the activity could continue.  It is obvious that was not possible in a lot of the hospitality industry  and a lot of factories that have a high density of workers. Our local pub is operating  a 'phone order take away service and some pubs are selling take away beer - that's fine.

If social distancing can't be attained then it will not be possible to resume activities  - and this was maybe why they  stopped in the first place.

I can't see that much has changed to be honest - but concede that the message has become  less straightforward.

Important to note though that you are now allowed to go out and sunbathe etc, and drive to exercise.

We’ll suddenly see parks and national parks getting much much busier.

Well I thought it was pretty good considering where we are at this point in time. We know what the mistakes have been and hopefully his plan will work. In terms of a speech, nobody else would have delivered it as well, irrespective of what you think of the content.

I thought there was quite a lot of conciliatory stuff in there as well. I didn't much care  for "And if we are to control this virus, then we must have a world-beating system for testing potential victims, and for tracing their contacts." Why do we always have to beat everybody else ? I want a high standard testing system that works equally well for everybody in this World.

Yes, I agree with everything you said, including the world beating bit!  Why does everything have to be compared with other countries, as if Covid 19 is an Olympic sport?  Even this forum is obsessed with comparing us to others!

Its a bit of a sweeping statement , surely each school has to have the capability to keep social distancing?
