Slow news day? The real deal? End of the world? 
 

They’re saying it probably came from an animal, has Somebody been shagging monkeys again? 

Had a chat with my mate, the NHS planner. He says the hospitals he looks after arent rescheduling cancelled surgeries yet. Waiting to see if we get a surge over next few weeks first.

The government scientists seem unhappy with easing the lockdown.

in fact, that was barely disguised disgust I’d say

On the flip side the economists will have been having kittens when the furlough scheme was thought up and then modelled by them. It’s all about balance. 
 

completely understand where @ZicoKelly is coming from. If my mum could get out the house I wouldn’t let her currently. Too frail and would wipe her out a dose of this. But on the flip side not seeing me or my brother is no life for her. 
 

but I’m also really really mindful of the economy and what this could do. For the government and each of us it’s an impossible situation we have to do what we believe strikes the best balance which is what they are doing I believe.  Although many will argue it’s not.

Why are they not comparing the stats like for like in terms of when we came out of lockdown surely that would be a better comparison?

Probably. But some of those aren’t easing up at the rate we are. 
 

Personally, I think we might being doing too much, too soon.

I agree, as does almost every impartial scientist I've seen on twitter. If they fuck it up, we'll have an extra 5 weeks trying to sort it out. Big risk. Cant understand why they haven't done it regionally where the R rate is definitely below 1. Could have done it a few weeks ago in some areas. Bristol for example

They've done regional in Italy, Spain and Germany, S Korea and China to some extent. Could police the roads in and out, big fines. Just seems crazy to me. If you know theres  a low risk area, fucking trial stuff there first.

How fucking amazing will that first pint taste!!! And the 9 that follow shortly after 

We need to know what the R rate is in our local areas. High areas, dont go to school, no meeting friends, stay in. Low areas, go out and do as much as is safe

Think a good session will be on the cards 

bored drinking at home which is good tbf as I leathered it early doors 

Our local primary school is opening next week, with additional outdoor classrooms installed. The neighbours are not sending their kids back. 2 days a week for 4 or 5 weeks. They don’t think it’s worth the risk for 10 “teaching” days.

How many “teaching days” will the kids end up with? Unless they plan to open over the summer?

God knows. Seems they are putting safety first. 

This is an interesting read.

I'm a cynic, but hear me out

6 strong get togethers announced last night

From Monday so 3 days notice

Back to work, don't go to work, you get 12 hours notice

 

I know why I think it was announced last night

Also, we've got a couple round tonight, think there's 8 next door

Trying to cover over the fact that they are no longer following "the science", by allowing some sport..

I'm considering stopping working on my part time job from Wednesday, there is another spike coming judging off how many people are ignoring it, the parking at Crompton Lodges summed it up.. Soon as schools go back it will rocket again :(.

IN Thursday and then 15th of June, I'm in 3 days a week.

Doesn't this say everything.

We have had a very liberal lockdown, yet loads moan and won't stick to it.

Other nations (although not without some issues) had a more severe lockdown and stronger enforcement.

Just a great shame some of our lot can't see this but take the piss.

All takes the heat off Our Dom

Makes his misdemeanours seem trivial 

Had a lovely time in the garden today, kids in the pool having fun, a few ciders and a relax.

The missus had blood taken yesterday at work for the antibody test. Fingers crossed she had already had it and not known. Unlikely I suppose but you never know.

Think that will Vantan Man’s last briefing ? 
 

There again Boris can not sack him.
