I'm not sure what the big deal is about exercising as much as you want. Who was actually timing it before? What difference does it make either way. Most people didn't do any before anyway!

If you can go to work you should, but avoid public transport.

Crazy. How are people meant to get to work then in London?

Increased fines for the flouters, like the idea of that if they can enforce it. Some enthusiastic county police will be chomping at the bit on that one!

If social distancing can't be attained then it will not be possible to resume activities  - and this was maybe why they  stopped in the first place.


I can't see that much has changed to be honest - but concede that the message has become  less straightforward.

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.

My work won't be re-opening any time soon until they have proper consultation on distancing etc.


But eventually, yes, London will have to manage public transport and travel to work. The planning should already be under way.

And anyway many constructions workers have been in all along anyway. Probably one of the easier industries to do so given the level of protective equipment required

I wonder what a school classroom will look like when they go back? Teachers wearing PPE? Everything wiped down often? The parents trying to SD outside while trying to control the kids. Some won't though. Just had an image of a load of noise where the Mum's are having to shout at each other with the distancing.

When it doesn't materialise the armchair critics will seamlessly move on to criticising the Government over unprecedented unemployment exacerbated by extending  the lockdown.

At least my comments are rooted in the science and reality. You ought to try it sometime.
