Can't blame Boris for the entitled having no personal responsibility whatsoever.

It's not rocket science, he doesn't want the whole country to pay the penalty for the left wingers who have to be forced into following advice.

Italy has the second oldest population in the world after Japan . 23% are over 65 .

If you are one of the people that get a letter but are in the group that has a condition currently under control and are not a worker that is going to be furloughed by their employer then they are not covered by 80% wages but are being told to stay home only qualifying for £94.
They should have announced a financial package for these workers who receive a letter because what will happen is those at risk workers will be forced to ignore the letter and go to work. Why didn't one of these journos ask this question?? The announcement "assumes" that these 1.5 people are already laid up at home but that is not the case..some work!!!! |

Strict lockdown not wanted - but may come if needed Vicki Young Chief Political Correspondent It was a pretty stark warning - and a question everyone wants to know. If people aren't following the advice, what will the government do? It is very clear from the prime minister that he is actively considering further measures. We have seen in other countries people are being told not to leave their houses. But Boris Johnson said he does not want to impose such restrictions. He says he is very, very concerned with people's mental and physical health if they cannot leave the house. |

Recap: UK coronavirus news conference
The latest UK government news conference on its coronavirus response has come to an end. Here’s what happened: PM Boris Johnson warned the government would take "further measures" to enforce social distancing advice if it is not respected He said he would think "very actively" about this over the next 24 hours He said he wanted people to continue to be able to go to parks, but people should stay 2m (6f) away from others Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick pledged the government would support 1.5m vulnerable people advised to stay at home for 12 weeks He said he hoped food deliveries to them would begin at the end of next week, and would become more "sophisticated" over time He added that councils would join up with supermarkets to ensure food deliveries are made |

Huge problem Duffy given the self employed amount of workers, going from earning a wage and having so many bills to money that you cannot possibly survive on is terrible for them.
Eyeball covid 19 still shortened their lives. |
|
By:
self employed should have an emergency fund.
|
|
By:
everyone should of course, but self employed know there's no safety net
|
|
By:
most self employed i know have a pot of 30k at least in their bank but the younger ones probably won't
 a dire situation as they are probably paying rent too so no mortgage relief ... the youngsters will need help with their rent |
|
By:
They will at least have the comfort of no eviction notices to be served for the foreseeable future.
Tough situation for all. |
|
By:
self employed probably a pain in the arse for the govt ...think they'd prefer it if it was all big businesses
|
|
By:
No mention of flights or borders generally. Defies logic.
Playgrounds got a mention. Oh and how dare people take a stroll in the fresh air. Boris is trying to let people have some freedom but pressure is mounting. |
|
By:
I'm a bit more hopeful on a personal level, I just found a few medical papers (gobbledygook to me) but the general thrust from what I can see is that the immuno supressant drug I take has actually been successful in tests against various coronavirus's in the past.

In the bigger scheme of things, there are unfortunate presidents being set. After this is all over, if we're still around some people will be expecting 80% of wages if they lose their job. It's okay saying gig economy workers need help, but they've had the advantages of not having fixed hours and working days. There's not enough personal responsibility as it is.

unfortunate presidents
__________ yeah, you could call him that  |

By:
if we're still around
I wouldn't worry about that if you're healthy. |

I suffered from croup when I was a youngster, and have a weaker chest as a consequence. Not a given that I won't have complications, albeit there are many more vulnerable than me.

Ever had the flu Cider?

By:
Flu cider ?
Is that similar to scrumpy  |
|
By:
Man flu not genuine flu, though it's been quite severe on occasion.

No 5pm today - currently in a COBRA meeting.
Statement later this evening. |
|
By:
Likely that they will STRONGLY ADVISE individuals to self isolate and practice social distancing.
Failure to do so will result in a tongue lashing from Priti Patel |

By:
"Boz will address the nation after the current emergency COBRA meeting" - Radio 4

By:
Though they didn't actually say "Boz"
 |

By:
NoBoz would have been more accurate.

Lockdown incoming?
|
|
By:
London has fallen
 |
|
By:
If we shutdown and the numbers of cases level or drop. Then what?
Were do we go from there? We can't carry for long with everything shut down. And as soon as we resume normal life, the virus will flare up again. |
|
By:
From where ?
If a strict lockdown is performed, everyone will either have contracted it and died, contracted it and survived, or not contracted it at all. |
|
By:
From where ?
No need to address that silly question because a complete lockdown would not be possible. |
|
By:
Agh, I see, unlikely that I can achieve a 147 break in snooker, so pointless to play.
