I think you're getting shielding mixed up with something else. People that were told to shield were not allowed to leave the house at all. They also had to distance from anyone in their household - the advise was not to be in the same room.

If they isolate the ones who have tested positive they'll be fine won't they? Would be hilarious if they got kicked out through.

Also the ground that was shielded is not the same group being talked about as having underlying conditions, its a tiny fraction of that much bigger group.

But again you have to consider the percentage of the population that 'health issues' applies to. A recent NHS study puts 67% of the population as overweight. So the number of people overweight who are hospitalised, while above the national average, is not that much over the average.

Seems that this deal is actually just a copy of what we have now as members of the EU. Weren't the new trade deals supposed to better than those we had in the EU?

Speaking of which Italian friend of mine, who lives in London, is heading back to Italy to stay with her parents. Reckons when she gets there she will be tested and get the results within 30 minutes, with a negative test meaning no quarantine. If that's possible in Italy why was Johnson only a...

All seems a bit random. The government seems incapable of taking charge if they're telling places they should be in certain tiers but having local authorities reject it. Add in there's seemingly no threshold for going in to certain tiers and it all seems a bit like guesswork which yet again...

Did you stop working while you studied? I'd barely be able to afford a week off unpaid let alone months!

You might find he has his own ticketing account which was at some point linked to yours so you could buy his ticket. I can buy tickets for my Dad on my account but he also has his own account.

Might be worth a new thread, think a lot of people ignore this one and the other political threads. Something I've thought about a lot but not sure how you can change career mid 40s with a mortgage and bills to pay. Did the quiz thing on the government site and it came up with the most bizarre...

Its almost comical. Appears from nowhere, trending on twitter and winning praise. Hours later, resigns over disagreement with Starmer's insistence on not opposing the CHIS bill...

Obvious to see why, normally you'd get thousands of people moving round the country to spend time in other households. Needs a public buy in through as it would be difficult to police unless you're stopping people on the roads and checking where they are going.

Can anyone imagine something like this happening here?

Is that just a regular occurrence but a good opportunity for someone to have a dig at Johnson after his “I remember how some people used to sneer at wind power 20 years ago and say that it wouldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding,” comments? Bizarrely that person was Johnson...

Probably the simplest way is to ask clubs to put forward accounts showing what they have lost due to covid. You can't be bailing teams out because they decided to spend too much on wages or transfer fees. Shouldn't be too hard for most clubs to show lost revenue and the costs that would...

Although the refusal to play Maddison or Grealish is odd not sure it would make a huge difference at the moment. We can't get the basics right and teams like Denmark play us off the pitch just by doing the simple stuff. I can accept that some of our players aren't world class but they are...

Some of the issues we have now goes back to before covid. Lack of funding the NHS - every winter just with regular flu the NHS is on its knees with ambulances queuing outside A&E; lack of funding the police - how are they supposed to enforce any restrictions when they don't have the manpower for...

What a depressing prospect.

Being furloughed has shown me beyond any doubt what a huge negative impact work was having on not just my mental health but my physical health as well. Stress evaporated overnight. Obviously there's the stress of being furloughed and not knowing if you'll have a job to go back to but thats...
