The Government are saying it will mislead people while we’re not over the peak which I must agree. As soon as any new advice come out people will start doing it. The good ol’USA will give us an interesting insight over the next week or two, with some of the States lifting a few restrictions but with the orange Clown effectively encouraging rebellion. I watched his performance In Q&As last night and I am convinced that the guy must be in the early stages of dementia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immediately after the Cobra Committee dismissed any risk to the UK. Would a quicker response have mattered if we ignored it anyway? Probably not, no. Would our response have been different with more clear advice from WHO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he fits perfectly into my US stereotype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump is borderline mad, but he ain’t stupid, and he plays to both the needs and weaknesses of the stupid. I think from my perspective Trump is worse, as he has the codes to the missiles.

However, that article does also call out that the Midland railway was an exception to this rule and used "up" to refer to towards Derby. Well I never knew that........ That's because Derby is the centre of the known universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite scary really as we may get to see what Cov19 can do with no lock down. Hope we've banned air travellers from USofA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be good for the economy if businesses could plan and be ready to hit the ground running when things start to re-open. Yes they do. I hope they can get some assurances quick. I don’t think anyone knows exactly what is the perfect plan and they want as much time as possible to gain information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it looks a bit low compared to the norm wack on and extra 50%, just like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go by Brexit where we've had 4 years and a complete shamble/no idea how to get out, it does inspire me with confidence for COVID19 exit strategy which has been around for just 2 months!
