London Road really busy this morning and barriers being erected around the play equipment on Whitley common. The countries policy summed up in my morning walk
So what does everybody think will be announced this weekend then in terms of the ‘exit plan’
I think we might get another 3 weeks of what we are in now and the 1st of June is when things will ease off alot

As much as I think the lockdown could end up ruining the country in the long run if it’s here too long, having an extra 3 weeks could be the difference between never having to lockdown again or bringing the measures back in as the numbers start rising.... the only thing is it’s so unpredictable because Germany have lifted lots and they are getting better and better in terms of the numbers going down, it’s a tough oneThey seem to be wanting to ease things off before then but I don’t understand how they can justify that with no treatment available and the virus still likely active among the population.

But as my guess is we are 2 weeks behind Italy and Spain and a week behind France. What were the numbers in Italy and Spain a couple of weeks ago?We still have 4000 positive tests a day they are much lower aren’t they? I think probably because their lockdowns were more severe. Who knows? Rumours about this level being acceptable going forward until we get a vaccination. Risky

You said your degree, which you admitted you keep bringing up, told you smokers with the virus would be in serious trouble. But their fatality numbers seem to be much lower than non smokers.I have read it again-I said my degree, as in the discipline it was in, was relevant. Are you saying that someone with respiratory problems isn’t in trouble if they get Covid?
I hope that King Boris lays out the direction and staged approach nature of releasing the lockdown and clear unambiguous reasons from one stage to the next. Rather than changing minds and confusionWe are all going to get a self help box. 200 woodbines per family member and we are also stealing an idea from Belarus and getting a bottle of Russian vodka - immunity assured all back to normal
Germany has done a lot more testing I think. Like they are getting football back on the go and only allowing players in with two consecutive negative tests.
It’s a good rational and logical question. No time for that approach astuteBut as my guess is we are 2 weeks behind Italy and Spain and a week behind France. What were the numbers in Italy and Spain a couple of weeks ago?

Wouldn’t it take around two weeks to know if cases are rising or does their better testing and tracing give them an earlier heads up?

It is all there and clear to see.

It is a difficult one. Their lockdown was much tougher than our shutdown. But if our numbers are true we should be about where they are. But how can we take any numbers to be true?It’s a good rational and logical question. No time for that approach astute

So not too far behind. That is if we can believe the numbers given.Around 3,000 in Italy I think.
If you contracted the virus in it’s extreme form then it’s pretty obvious with or without a degree that a virus such as this will cause significant issues for you
No. I keep pointing out that you said what you are trying to say you didn't.I am ‘bringing it up’ because you keep asking.

i posted a youtube interview with their top doctor on here a few weeks ago. Very interesting. They have much more experience with these situationswe're a million miles away from emulating what they're doing in South Korea unfortunately and it's highly unlikely we'll ever get there.
I don't know how badly they were affected by SARS and other recent pandemics in South East Asia but if that was their trigger to get prepared for the next pandemic let's hope we put systems in place so we're similarly prepared for the next time.
I'd imagine what's more likely is the government will try and pimp out UK health care in their trade talks with the US.
And before anyone says South Korea has private health care, yes it does, but it's much closer to the UK NHS model that the US health insurance model .

On my way home from work yesterday, on one rural road there were about 6 or 7 sets of walkers in the space of half a mile.
This could go on all day
Less than three hundred travellers quarantined out of 18 M travellers arriving in UK prior to lockdown.A friend of my mother finally got back from Japan yesterday.
2 layovers where they were checked etc. Walked through Heathrow no checks or even details collected for self-quarantining.
have you seen some of the pictures coming from America? It's madness. Packed parks, packed beaches, it's a little bit more understandable here, a combination of cabin fever and number of deaths decreasing is leading to people getting a little complacent, even though this is the time we really need to hold firm, but their numbers are going through the roof.
My daughters placement in Washington has been cancelled and she finds out today if she is going to be relocated to another part of the country, I really hope she isn't.
Trump even talking about disbanding the COVID 19 task force, it's crazy.
