Further to that French case:

Makes you wonder how far back the origins of this virus will be traced when all's said and done.

Isn’t it amazing how Nicola’s (and other politicians) hair hasn’t grown, no roots showing, all looking neat and tidy 😂

It’s certainly not prescriptive though and if that’s what people want / need then I get that this doesn’t come with the 100% do’s and don’ts list but to me they are simply stating pretty much how most people have interpreted the lockdown so far anyway.

So in summary: Use yer noggin, don’t go out unless you need to and if you do avoid others as much as possible...not sure you need a PHD to comprehend what that means but hey ho I get others don’t agree so fair enough.

So in summary. Lockdown is over

Maybe you should offer to interpret things for the cabinet then because they seem as clueless about what it means as everyone else is.

A rather generalised summary considering the overwhelming majority of schools, offices, shops, pubs, restaurants and sports clubs remain closed.

Isn't your summary precisely what was advocated before this change of message

So, again, why change the message if practically nothing changes?

53 days in the house. Politicians still politicking. No vision. No routemap. Almost all other countries on the way back. Even Spain and Italy.

Deaths and cases still significant.

What a country.

Agreed :agree: It's not as though there's suddenly a wealth of options available to us other than nipping out to buy food. Most folk can surely be credited with a bit of sense after learning to live with lockdown for nearly a couple of months.

Nicola quite rightly wondering aloud what ‘stay alert’ actually means on a practical level. Fairly obvious she thinks The UK Govt approach is a shambles. Personally Stay Alert! reminds me a bit of Don’t Panic! From the Hitch Hikers Guide. Which of course is a comic fantasy.

That's the exact point. Clearly it's not over, however one could interpret it that way. For instance, I could now go back to a life similar to pre lockdown without the pleasure of going to a few shops or football game (if I lived in England). I could have a party tonight with all my pals to celebrate under the rules of this slogan (as it stands).

It almost gives full automany to the individual and how they chose to interpret it.

And the blame game switches to the public for 'flouting the clear advice and guidance'

You can just see in the next 3-4 weeks this spiraling out of control

A certainty. Playing politics with people's lives. People will fall for it as well.

'40/50/60K dead? What could we have done? We told people to be alert and they had a party'

For England.

The Scottish one is to come "as soon as possible".

I think it's safe to say they'll be broadly similar though.

It doesnt suggest you should, nor does it stipulate you cant. How can you not see how vague this is?

Because Bojo knows best. His Govt can do no wrong, or atleast admit they have done wrong

Il ask again - if your understanding is the one the Govt want to be followed (as opposed to what others have intreperated) why have they changed the message?

If nothing changes, why dilute the message? They new message dumbs done the seriousness of where we are

Because old messages become stale and actually the old one wasn’t really being adhered to in an absolute sense anyway?

Dunno...as I said it hardly seems worth all the palaver to me but clearly others don’t seem to understand that staying alert means don’t be complacent and to maintain keeping your guard up by following some rather basic principles.

But hey I’m not gonna say others are wrong and I’m right, just my own point of view so I’ll let others bash on with getting all het up on it all. Think I’ll just keep trucking on in terms of WFH, staying at home as much as possible and keeping my contact with others as limited as can be [emoji2957][emoji2957]
