All schools closing from Friday indefinitely with exception for key workers kids and vulnerable kids

NI also closing schools with immediate effect Think Williamson (can’t stand him) will announce something later. Reckon England will be closing as well

Not libertarian shmmeee, but why can’t the supermarkets ration certain items, it’s not hard ? If I was the government I would be requesting the supermarkets to do this if they aren’t doing it (and enforce it if not) though

Probably the most important figures currently (confirmed cases are pretty useless as we know there are tens of thousands or more carrying it) are available hospital beds and those in intensive care/on ventilators (and therefore available ventilators)

To be fair Sunak said yesterday there were ongoing discussions and more announcements to follow regarding individuals. Presume there will be some for self employeds in due course

Self employed mate (just me). Sorry. You’re a decent, sensible bloke so sure you’ll be fine (little comfort I appreciate but you know what I mean)....maybe Nick can pay you to be a moderator ?!

Written in a rush, will edit to ‘encouraging’ (disappointed you only pulled me up on that to be honest !)

Sorry to hear that Pete.

Days we actually bought with our tracing and tracking policy and encouraging people to call 111 and self isolate I’m not going into it all again but as per the ICL report, this is now an 12-18 month issue which is going to lead to major disruption/human cost (which the government and their...

Still need the modelling and scientific experts to lead the way on this though. It was by following the modelling that enabled us and other countries, to accelerate/escalate the measures

Exactly the same with my mum mate. It’s not for the government to control these selfish pricks though, it’s their own moral compass (risky leaving it to that I know !!) and as JHF says, the supermarkets themselves. They know what stock they have in/available, it’s not hard to restrict to 2 or 3...

Reckon it will settle down in a couple more days....peoples cupboards, spare rooms and garages must be getting full by now !!! Also supermarkets are redirecting staff to help with shopping/food/essentials side of things.

Agreed. As someone mentioned yesterday the jobs done by teachers, hospital workers and shop workers will be key to our battle against this over the next 12-18 months

I agree mate, I don’t get it (there must be some reasoning behind it as it’s not intuitive in conjunction with the current wider strategy) All I’m guessing (as Tony has indicated) once you do close them I’d imagine they won’t reopen for a long time

Agree sick boy/Pete. This is as much down to personal responsibility now. Had a mate ask me if we were still catching up this weekend (he’s got a couple of step kids, if I’ve got, pass to him, pass to them etc etc). People have got to start realise that now the measures have been put in place...

Bit pedantic Tony, I was only trying to explain my understanding of the situation.

There were rumours that people had correct cover but couldn’t claim because of the advisory (rather than categoric) nature of the government advice. I presume it will tie into business disruption part of policy I never trust insurers full stop. Seen them fuck over businesses and people. My...

ps not that trump deserves any scepticism at all but there is also an election later this year. That’s not to say there doesn’t need to be additional ways to help individuals. I’d be surprised if this wasn’t coming though especially to self employed (although thought I heard about an initial 3k...

Agreed. Especially renters
