If you can’t work at home you don’t work. Other than key workers. And the definition will be heavily reduced from previous. Quote

South of the border. Although you suspect wee jimmy will follow suit at the earliest opportunity she gets. Whether it’s true or it who knows but seems highly feasible. Expect the announcement this side of new year Quote

Back to something like normal by March will be a result Quote

Even to suppress it to such a level that we can start to look forward in combination with the vaccination program Quote

Apparently I was on about tier 4 Presumably this will be a step up If factories are again told they can stay open, then loads more business have to stay open We always need raw materials, spares, subbies for maintenance etc etc Quote

As we all know tier 4 isn’t doing the job. plus given the stories I’ve read on here and stuff I’ve heard about and seen on social media we are in for one of hell of a spike with people “bending the rules” to fit whatever they wanted to do.

Presumably any sort of Tier 5 will be similar to March in that if you can’t work from home then you can’t work. 3 minutes ago, radcliffewhite1 said: Not arsed so long as I get paid Furlough already in place so you’d have to assume it will be relatively simple on that front. And expensive for the Government, obviously. Quote

Left my last place 2 weeks ago so don’t know how it works in that respect, if the worst happens can I start a new job on furlough Quote

I can see the Govt panicking, but I can’t see that, for this area, there is any evidence to tighten up from T3. Quote

Escobarp Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 All depends on the specific industry as to whether that means you qualify as essential under any new definitions. and also when any new restrictions come into play. Quote
Guest Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 Cheers with it being logistics don’t see an issue Quote

Escobarp Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 Could reach the 50k I was told wouldn’t happen by year end 🧐 Quote
wiggy Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 First time over 40,000 in one day. And that’s before all of the Christmas rule bending. Quote
Site Supporter Spider Posted December 28, 2020 Site Supporter Posted December 28, 2020 6 people rang into the missus’s works this morning with symptoms. 2 confirmed cases as well. If it’s the new variant, it spreads like herpes at a gangbang Quote
Escobarp Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 Where I live was down at 49 cases per 100k when we were out to tier 2. We are heading towards 200 at a rate of knots currently. Quote
birch-chorley Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 More importantly, where are they up to with the vaccine? Only need to get 5m done and 50% of the risk goes So 50k cases a day has the same impact on the NHS as 25k cases a day had a few weeks back Along with all the so far unused nightingales, extra ventilators etc - We shouldn’t be facing an NHS collapse in January / February Quote
