What he’s posted from the bbc there is already out of date. We know there was a case in France on the 27th December with no obvious links to China. Not even mentioned in that timeline.

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.

To me it’s pretty obvious...stay at home as much as possible is simply saying urmm stay at home as much as possible. It’s hardly a massive leap from the ‘stay at home’ (but actually go out when you need to) message.

As for limited contact with others...well guess what that means you should do your utmost to limit your contact with others....I honestly can’t get my head around why such a simple message could be construed as so difficult to comprehend.

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.

Aye this message is so so clear. Yet everyone who has posted on this so far have different interpretations. Aye, so clear!!

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?

Agreed 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.

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.

[hibsbollah]

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.

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?

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
