I just don't get why he didn't say ok, more of the same for a bit, here's the plan for better times if you stick to it.

I am amazed how many people can't understand what our shutdown is all about.

But then I read this thread and see that there certainly is a lack of understanding. Is it a lack of understanding or just point scoring?

Exercise. Short travel only allowed. Can't people read?

Work. Only if safe to do so. Work from home if you can. Employers must put a plan in place.

I thought he explained it well. 5 stages. We are 4 and lowering towards 3. As the stage lowers we get more freedom. If it goes higher we get restricted again. Why is this so difficult to understand?

So here you go point scorers. Fill yer boots.

The quicker and stricter you lockdown, the quicker you can go back to normal life.

That seems to be beyond the comprehension levels of this government though.

I said we were nowhere near strict enough. Many on here had a gi at me fir saying so. But thise whi had a go at me for saying so now have a go at Boris fir nit being strict enough.

But yeah......

I can go out tomorrow, drive to Skeggy, spend the day on the beach, but I can't visit my daughter who lives round the corner. It's fucking nonsense.

Right, it may not be as clear as everyone wants, but it’s still on the edge of simple. Anyone flouting rules like they have been doing, claiming it’s too vague and open to interpretation, is deliberately being thick.

Hopefully it'll be a bit clearer once there's some questioning in the commons. However, one message that came across was flouting the social distancing - he did say there would be stiffer fines. Again, maybe that will be ironed out in due course, but definately needs some kind of punishment that the police are going to enforce this time, as there are some taking the piss and we'll never get this R rate right down until these idiots start to behave.

So where do you live? If not near Skeggy you are totally wrong. And you can't go on the beach.

Don't you know what you are and are not allowed to do?

Earlsdon_Skyblue1 · May 10, 2020

I actually thought his speech was ok, mostly the part about not getting too complacent.

I was kind of tuning in like it was another disappointing transfer deadline day and none of the questions I wanted answered really got covered.

Can I see any friends and family any time soon?
Can I watch the football?
Can I go and visit a friend in Brussels in end of June? (Was gonna drive there)
Can I go on a stag do in the middle of June to Budapest?

Yes I know he won't have all the answers but I thought I might be able to at least cross one thing off the list.

Anyone that can help me with any of the above is greatly appreciated. Other than people that cannot work from home going back to work, it didn't seem like much else was actually said.

Boris said you are allowed to drive to outdoor places and go outside as long as you socially distance yourselves. He didn't say you are only allowed to drive for x amount of miles.

“You can sit in the sun in your local park, you can drive to other destinations, you can even play sports but only with members of your own household.”

Plus what you’ve posted was yesterday before this speech and what’s to come tomorrow you div.

robbiekeane · May 10, 2020

Weird. Felt sick second week of March and had a few of the symptoms as did the girl I am seeing (I was at her house all week and staying in the same bed and we were sick together).

She went for the antibody test last week and got her results on Friday and was positive. So I went and got mine done and just got results saying negative.

Really weird no? How accurate are these tests

Can they?

They can travel a short distance for exercise. What is so difficult to understand?

How have exercise guidelines changed?

I know the truth doesn't go well with the point most are putting across here. But there's the rules for you.

fernandopartridge · May 10, 2020

There were no proper limits on exercise etc previously, perhaps it is really about the Tories wanting to appear to relax things (so the Dims of this world stop looking longingly at other European countries relaxing their lockdowns) but actually leave it so confusing that people stick as they are.

Also, has any of the legislation been amended for this?

My point is, and it’s not point scoring. Is it is confusing. “Hmmmm, let’s check the bbc website before we go somewhere Beryl”

You’re asking the wrong people.

Most people on their thread get it. Because most people on this thread weren’t doing the conga round their street or doing shitty dances (that I can’t remember the name of) on the floor in the middle of the road.

Can you say the same for the Facebook fuckwits?

And then said fuckwits infect the families of the sensible people on here, or in their neighbourhoods.... that’s how it falls apart.

A point Boris made was that you can play sport outdoors with your family.
But does he mean family, or should he mean household ?
Why can't Clint meet his daughter in the park round the corner and throw a ball to each other or sit on a bench ? ( 2 metres apart if it's a long one )
It's extremely confusing . Scotland Wales and NI have got it right. No confusion.

Ah I get you. Every place in the whole UK should be named as if it is close enough for you to travel to.

The bbc link just says you can now drive to exercise and it doesn't give an allowed distance. He clearly has not read the link.

If you have been keeping up you would know it is to do with households and not family. If you live together there is no extra risk unless those not in your household join you.

What is difficult to understand any of this?

That's what you should do but unlimited exercise in reality means if stopped by the police you can say I was out for a walk or I was driving to go for a walk
