I think they’ll be more push back here. Speaking to friends most in big companies already WFH but lots saying they’ve been told they need to be in.

Companies have to promote WFH where possible, it is now illegal for them to maintain a full workplace. I was going to the office as normal last but am now working from home. Italy is majorly behind to attitudes towards WFH though.
I think takeaways count as an essential service, as do supermarkets, so both are open.
You know data and it’s wonderful ability and it’s flaws. It’s not one or the other. It’s both. It’s not they fucked up and everyone else did things great and even if it was to be the case it is way too soon to call it. It is also not based on numbers infected it’s number of deaths. The estimate that doing nothing would wipe out 5000000 people down to a figure of tens of thousands following the path we are now on seems to be a performance indicator that the government and experts should be judged on
We're getting towards a full lockdown here in Hungary. Reduced opening hours, schools closed, self-quaranting, borders closed to all non-citizens etc.The real worry is if a lot of people are sick or just on lockdown the supply chains start to struggle. Does anyone know if the countries in full lock down let jobs like this continue? What about power stations? Data centres?

People making it about political point scoring are getting tiresome.
Just as if it's a stick to beat either party with.
Government changed it strategy to save lives and the same people still moaning and bitching, need to have a good look at yourselves
Haha you don't get it do you. You need to have a look at yourself for defending them to the hilt when the rest of the world was telling them they were doing it wrong.
Yeah it was bizarre and seen as arrogant here.Sorry Pete but everyone could see the data and was screaming at them to change course. The idea we wouldn’t be affected like every other country in the world was just ridiculous.
Stop making it political, you just can't help yourself can you when we should all be sticking together? Embarrassing mate
Most countries are apart from Trump.Stop making it political, you just can't help yourself can you when we should all be sticking together? Embarrassing mate
Whoever was in power at the moment would be under the same intense scrutiny though. However you look at it there is a political element to this because it is the politicians making the decisions about how we get through it. And yes, it really is the politicians making the decisions.People making it about political point scoring are getting tiresome.

It is also a fact that we have the most libertarian government of recent times, when perhaps the polar opposite would have been better?
It’s also a fact that the NHS has been chronically underfunded over the last ten years or more, and now it isn’t fit for this purpose. How can there not be a political angle? It’s a great opportunity to reinforce why having a well-funded, equipped and staffed health system is so important even when we think nothing drastic is happening. If there was a bit more slack in the system it wouldn’t be getting overwhelmed so easily.
Political points everywhere, hard to ignore them.
Exactly. The only people saying 'don't make this political' are the ones who vehemently support this government. Of course you're perfectly entitled to support any party and any government, but you also have to be able to criticise and scrutinise them when needed.
Like you say, it's pretty impossible for this not to become political.
Rest in peace the economy and thousands of small businesses. Won't need long until there are people with pitchforks telling people they can't leave the house.
As Macron (pompous oaf according to Grendel) said yesterday 'No business will be allowed to go bankrupt'.
The government could have helped the economy by testing and tracking cases but hasn't bothered, the only option left now is social distancing so the economy is knackered.Not at all. I couldn't give a shit about conservatives or labour.
People bursting a blood vessel just to point score is over the top.
Just saying the opposite of their opposition party and going with that.
Its probably why people are getting so worked up.

Its all well and good saying that but I'm pretty sure they will.Well hopefully we will follow France's lead and look after the people AND the economy.

Every single one of them!Complete Malakas.
Quality assured ventilators on ebay from China !Whoever is responsible for procurement of ventilators in the NHS should be sacked also. Actually tweeting for manufacturers to call a hotline to discuss making them no with all of the pre-production setup and procurement of parts etc. Wonder what the lead-time is for a company to make medical-grade equipment in car-part factories...

It'll be on frameworks but at an individual trust level. There is no NHS purchasing at genuinely national level apart from pharmaceuticals.Whoever is responsible for procurement of ventilators in the NHS should be sacked also.

Macron says a lot of things - and usually delivers the opposite
Sounds familiar.
Can you think of another pompous oaf who says a lot of things and delivers the opposite?
Yes sturgeon and that pipsqueak that runs Ireland
There was the same attitude here up until the start of the lockdown, I fully expect the UK to suffer the same fate as here because of it too.Was going to ask how the U.K. attitude, both governmental and public, is being perceived abroad?
Was talking to a friend in Ireland and he was aghast that we were living our lives as normal over the weekend and don’t seem to comprehend the situation.
