If the figures are correct and you are not in a risk group then you probably don’t - are schools actually opening?

They can’t if they are planning on adhering to any kind of social distancing....

I still haven’t had my results but still what’s six days between friends, I wonder how many are like me tested which ticks a box but don’t get the results which keeps you from the next box so keeping the actual infections lower so we can reopen?

...imagine ks1 kids constantly washing hands and keeping 2 metres apart. Keep ks1 and 2 at home common sense would suggest, whatever common sense means.

I can’t see the schools being back very quickly

At the moment no chance as the 14 day self-quarantining is the law. ( just had the police a few doors down checking someone). Also only Hungarians and those EU citizens with residency allowed in atm.
But we'll learn more next week on the easing but they've always said we're 3-4 weeks behind most of Europe. Budapest remains under stricter controls than the rest of the country.
I'll keep you updated if the situation improves.

Thanks for providing the insight, really appreciate it.

I was talking to my brother-in-law today as we are supposed to be going for his stag. The flights haven't been cancelled yet and the core of the group still want to go.

Guess we have to wait and see.

All 6000 of those are likely to have occurred during lock down. Where’s chris Whitty to explain how

A large number are key workers as per the yellow part of the bar chart

As they are looking at tapering off the furlough scheme after july they will force people to return unsafe work places

F**kin hell I'd just done the sums and after being initially spooked convinced myself it's probably 5.5% at the moment which might just equate to 0.7R .

Edit:- which I still do not think is low enough.

Depends if they want them childminded while they get both parents back at work .

Exactly, KS1/2 will be first back because they’re the hardest to keep busy while you work from home, and can’t look after themselves like older teenagers. Public health won’t come into it.

10% of tests positive I heard if it’s above 7-8% of tests you’ve a problem

I tried and thought I'd got it across 5days at 5.5% but not sure we should trust my math's.

Edit :- more like 7.5% I think.

So when would those people be 100% safe to return?

My view is that you either bring everyone or virtually everyone back or you don't at all otherwise we end up in a similar position to the last week or two before the lockdown started whereby lack of teaching staff causes chaos combined with needing to provide remote provision alongside that in a classroom. It's not workable and I imagine the unions will say as much

Another brilliant statistic number of new infections is only high cause we are doing more tests and these will be some of the home tests being completed. Oh ok then bloomin eck. I’m a bit doom and gloom today sorry

I'm the same today.

Agreed. Been getting the distinct impression that a fair few countries are for all intents and purposes going to give up as it's too hard to deal with. Make some noise about track and trace apps and precautions to keep the press and public quiet but pressure people back to work and hope for the best.

I've had my southern fried and other fast food delivered from the local independent one v Via online without issue all the way through.

How utterly depressing the news is today. That dickhead Hancock now on about "backing the police" in prosecuting Neil Ferguson. He was tight lipped when Robert Jenrick arguably did much worse.

Johnson comes out with another target to be missed, more soundbites, more bluster, more deaths. Fuck the Tories.

FFS we got another 4.5 years of these c@@ts

"French authorities had to limit sales of nicotine treatments to avoid stockpiling after this study was published."

Yeah and this is in a Country where you can smoke in public places, makes you wonder who's interested they are looking after .

Nick · May 6, 2020

Are those numbers actually from now or have they found a spreadsheet from a couple of weeks ago to add in?

Done the same as me? Have filled up the two cars in anticipation of lockdown ending, and there being an almighty scramble!

I have to shield my daughter for 12 weeks from mid-April. But if I wasn’t I still wouldn’t send either of them back to school any time soon.
