simple explanation going around on FB
 

The Government Plan explained  to why we are not in lock down .

His plan is to segregate all vulnerable people (older, illand at risk) let’s call this group A

Anyone looking after the older,ill and at risk can be group B

The general population generally healthy can be group C

Group C needs to go about it’s business keeping the country moving kids at school us at work

Group B looks after group A and avoids contact with C

Group C is allowed to contract the virus and because it’s generally healthy it can cope with it better than group A

Group A and B are almost self isolating without the virus to avoid putting strain on the NHS and reducing the risk of getting the virus and then needing the NHS

Group C (the generally healthy) go through the cycle of contracting the virus self isolating and being looked after by healthy family members, friends and the local community
Anyone who has complications gets looked after by the NHS while groups A and B are kept away The NHS are not strained by A and B while its looking after complicated cases in C

As group C comes full circle and recovers it divides in to groups that take group B’s position looking after group A allowing group B to go though the cycle

With B and C though the cycle
A is free to have NHS to itself because B and C are now clear from illness and infection and hopefully have a degree of immunity from getting it again this season. 

 

That’s where I’m at

Makes the most sense. We can’t outrun it, we can’t kill it. Take it on and keep losses to a minimum.

Its crucial we keep working and keep kids in school. The risks are so low that it’s just common sense.

Our health and strategy mob deserve the keys to the kingdom of this works, which I honestly think it will.

I know the name of two people that live in my street and they remain the only two I’ve ever muttered a word to. 
 

if they want help I will help of course but won’t be giving my number out to the Cunts that’s for sure or pretending I’ve any interest in any of them. 

Aye superb British spirit on display. This is why we’re fucked. Twats with fucking no community spirit stealing pasta off each other in supermarkets and being generally dickheads to each other.

Then we add in people who just plan to carry on and ignore the advice cos they’ll be fine. The generation who won WW2 must look at this and think why the fuck did we bother?

Nice touch

Myself and missus are the youngest in our cul de sac in our mid fifties. We are a close nit group who go out every month for a meal. 
 Tonight we’ve been round to our 11 Neigbours with our contact details if they need anything. Already had a call from an 89 year old asking if we can get her some new hearing aid batteries.

Wasn't that the case Monday morning, then, by monday evening we're told no social contact and non essential travel?

Im all for the above But are we now in semi lock down sort of? Could change again before the weeks out

Dunno but it already seems out of date

Old fella next door to us

This is the piece of research that has led to a change in the governments strategy and rapid increase and ramping up of measures.

Coronanation Street

I reckon the vaccine could be found in the crevice of Carla Connors arse. And I would gladly rim the fuck out of it to find out. 

 

You're all welcome

A note of caution. I asked the elderly lady up the street to let me know if she needed anything during all this, and she replied by saying “I’m 52 you cheeky twat”

So, just check first.

Panicked when I saw 'Cummings D.A.T' in the references but a quick Google assuaged my fears. 

increasing pressure on the government to helicopter money all over the place 

Many European countries doing the same, guaranteeing between 75% and 90% of average income for a few months, even covering the self employed 

France just announced over €350bn worth of funding, promised to bail out all industries, that’s the sort of confidence booster the economy needs in a short term crisis like this 

Even Hawkish American politicians advising that America give everyone $1,000 dollars 

Desperate times call for desperate measures, I expect the U.K. to announce something similar this week, come on chancellor 

From 2015

My temperature is looks a bit high this morning reckon I’ll be ok folks?

Aren’t the government announcing today some kind of financial package for companies 

Lots of media calling for Boris to shut pubs, restaurants etc none of this advisory business 

He can’t shut pubs. He just can’t.

Fancy new train tracks can get to fuck. We need to protect our people. 

This is world war 2 tackle and something none of us have faced before. 

Every single penny our country have should be chucked at this.

Yep.

If the french have £300billion knocking about, we should have the same at the very least.

Everyone needs looking after. Properly. Or civil unrest is less then a month away and this could turn very very ugly.

Just advised against

 

There’s plenty of money that’s been squirrelled away that could be used for a lot of good. 
 

 

So the Government realise their plan A was shit and gone with plan B. This is the same plan every fucker else had as plan A. At least we are learning.
