So that means all shops can open?

Increased testing. The figure that matters is deaths and ICU admissions/occupancy.

That was worded as the future “current situation” not the present one. 

No. 

Laura K is such a fecking lacky

At least Huw Edwards points out that "some of this is rather vague"

Not really. In your haste to condemn and hear what you expectye ro wanted to you missed the context entire;y.

"And if we are to control this virus, then we must have a world-beating system for testing potential victims, and for tracing their contacts. 

So that – all told - we are testing literally hundreds of thousands of people every day."

Line two follows line one, and it's pretty obvious that's the case.

You must be very disappointed.

No, anyone that needs to be at work can go to work. otherwise work from home

Wtf?!

Builders etc?

Ikea is still planning to reopen, so it must apply to larger shops?

You really have lost all rationality haven't you

Well I thought it was pretty good considering where we are at this point in time. We know what the mistakes have been and hopefully his plan will work. In terms of a speech, nobody else would have delivered it as well, irrespective of what you think of the content.

I thought there was quite a lot of conciliatory stuff in there as well. I didn't much care  for "And if we are to control this virus, then we must have a world-beating system for testing potential victims, and for tracing their contacts." Why do we always have to beat everybody else ? I want a high standard testing system that works equally well for everybody in this World.

Even you must accept this is confusing. 

Builders, manufacturing etc. He mentioned shops opening from 1st June

But any increased infection numbers that are masked in the greater capacity for testing won't show up until a patient requires hospital care, which isn't straight away. There are a good few of us on here expecting a spike in a few weeks.

I believe that IKEA was always allowed to open. They chose to close down before lock down.

Homeware is one of the exceptions.

Its ok spouting on about Schools , didn't the unions say they wont be going back until they are happy its safe to ? , I presume PPE is included.

If you can take your head out of Boris's backside for one moment, you have to admit this is all very confusing

Listen to Starmer. Sums it up

He never shut manufacturing , we have stayed open throughout 

After weeks of contradictory media briefings the Prime Minister has confirmed quarantine measures will be introduced for people returning to Britain by air - but apparently not yet. What could possibly be the scientific basis behind this decision? Clarity is urgently needed https://t.co/iTIH2xvRWx

Prime Minister Boris Johnson says anyone who can’t work at home - particularly those in construction and manufacturing - should be ‘actively encouraged’ to go to work but avoid public transport.

Given that I haven't posted much on here it's rather pathetic of you to ascribe a view to me that I don't hold.

I didn't want Johnson to win the Tory leadership and I'm a remainer.

So in your utter nightmare of an evening you've just gone further down the rabbit hole

At least I can read two sentences and not get basic comprehension horribly wrong.
