This is his moment in time.

We all know he is working night and day for the British people.

He has survived the most brutal version of Covid-19 and is one of the few to come out of ICU alive.

He must now give us hope and give us a proper plan for coming out of lockdown.

We cannot wait for a vaccine like some sort of besieged medieval castle waiting for reinforcements that might never come.

We must, as a nation, start the fight back tonight.

We need to build the confidence back up of our young healthy people to get back out there.

The WW2 generation just cracked on through Hong Kong flu where tens of thousands died. My grandfather went to work everyday whilst my grandmother was very sick with it. People just carried on. We need to toughen up and get back out there.

Come on BORIS. Sort it out.

Am I right in thinking that every tom, dick and harry can drive x number of miles to seaside resorts and just spend the day sunbathing? Kids running around everywhere you can just see social distancing being adhered to.

And that's a step in the right direction?

Good luck to anyone making a long journey to work who doesn't have either a car or bike.

Yep, in England you can drive as far as you like, go and sunbathe at the coast if you wish.

And from this Wednesday, we want to encourage people to take more and even unlimited amounts of outdoor exercise.

You can sit in the sun in your local park, you can drive to other destinations, you can even play sports but only with members of your own household.

You must obey the rules on social distancing and to enforce those rules we will increase the fines for the small minority who break them.

Thanks for the backup. I have heard this is the case in many large and small companies where there was discussions on who gets furloughed.

Whether or not small businesses potentially allow their employees to voice whether they wish to be furloughed doesn't change that it's ultimately up to the leadership of the business to decide if the furlough actually happens.

Your argument was "Who is going to go back to work when they can get £2.5k a month sitting on the beach sunbathing?"

The counter-argument is that employees can not ultimately decide they want to get 2.5k a month sitting on the beach sunbathing.

Yes it was the lack of plan to offer any hope to old and vulnerable groups that was disappointing.

The only real hope for them is for the young to build up immunity to stop the spread.

Failing that they have to wait for a vaccine that might never come.

Many will not wait months on end with no plan or explanation and will eventually come out and we will see terrible numbers then. Sad

The virus will not leave . The lockdown kept the numbers of infection down . Made it harder to transfer from one person to another so lowered the R

number . This does not destroy the virus because people are still infected . Loosening the rules will increase the R number . More people will

become infected but the same "at risk" groups will continue to die and the same not "at risk" groups will live .

There has never been a vaccine for a coronavirus so it is anyone's guess when that will happen . If you are at risk and are able to make changes to

your health and lifestyle , take responsibility . If you can't then be very careful .

Well there needs to be a plan.

The initial plan was to tell the old and vulnerable to isolate for 12 weeks whilst the rest of the population built up immunity.

Then the old and vulnerable could come back out.

Boris said we could beat the virus back in those 12 weeks.

The vulnerable got those letters saying stay in for 12 weeks. When they are told in could be months or years longer many will give up hope, come back out and enter a society where there is not enough immunity to stop transmission and die. Failing that people in their household will go out and pick the virus up and bring it back to them. They will be picked off one by one.

We have wasted 7 weeks to build up immunity in the population so far. It is building but is going to take longer than if the younger had been out there doing their shielding work. We have just delayed the process I suppose.

More nonsense. More people in the UK have been infected because of early inaction than if you'd acted promptly, introduced restrictions earlier and avoided having to lock down. The strategy at the start was to encourage the spread of it and that resulted in having to lock down because hospitals were on course to be overwhelmed. You'd be more out of lockdown but with less immunity by now if you'd acted promptly.

Make your mind up. You're either in favour of building up immunity more quickly or you're not. You can't be in favour of encouraging the spread and be anti-lockdown at the same time. Encouraging the spread made locking down inevitable.

And don't suggest that because hospitals are empty that ending lockdown immediately is sensible. You are still at the peak of daily new cases when the likes of Spain, Italy, Germany released restrictions after a 4 week steady downtrend of daily new cases to levels approaching pre-lockdown levels. The UK is still at peak and that looks like it's going to end in more restrictions in the short-term.

Controlling the spread in non-shielded people from social distancing.

This was the initial policy up to 23rd March and appears to be the policy now with people told to get out more and go to work if they need to.

People will not be fined for driving to the beach or going out more than once a day now. They still talk about 'household' but not sure how they will enforce this. As long as people social distance and they see eachother while out sunbathing I think it will be a breach.

A slow controlled immunity build up should carry on now in the healthy population by default.

It wasn't the initial policy up to March 23. The initial policy was to allow indoor music concerts and football matches to go ahead, Cheltenham etc, and very few other restrictions. That's what led to the spread getting out of control and having to lock down.

It may be the policy to control the spread going forward, hopefully it will be, together with contact tracing and some screening of airports, both of which were non-existent at the start too. I can't imagine they haven't learned from their mistake.

Cumbria's tourism board tweeted: "We are awaiting further details but the safety of residents must come first. For now, tourism businesses in Cumbria remain closed and we urge everyone to continue to stay home."

As part of the PM's plans to reopen society, he said from Wednesday people in England would now be able to leave home as many times as they wish for exercise and drive to other destinations in the country for exercise.

People have previously been warned to avoid travelling to beauty spots like the Lake District in Cumbria, as the county still had high infection rates.

Nice messages are one thing but the blunt reality is another. If there is no vaccine/treatments for this and the virus doesnt "leave" as Trump predicts then old and vulnerable people are in a real fix for the forseeable future. No amount of encouragement can change that and they are all fully aware of the situation. Either stay in for the next couple of years or risk getting a fatal illness.

As said above the best hope they have is the rest of us getting herd immunity sooner rather than later.

Find it hard to believe only 10% in London have had it and 4% nationwide.

He did say that was from a while ago?

That would mean 2.7m people in the UK have had it with 32k deaths.

IFR of 1.2% would would be even about Ferguson's 0.9% and well above Germany tests 0.37%.

That means either the tests are old OR we have had a disproportionate amount of old/vulnerable people infected.

If that is the case we have messed this up completely getting the very people lockdown was supposed to protect getting infected and not built up any population immunity in the young.

They will have the companies make it "company policy" in regards to the vaccine/tracing app etc, they will change your society's structure, you still get "freedom of choice" whether to get it or not, but if you don't then there's no participating in "our society", they will get the useful idiots to propagate that message, and eventually more and more will accept it to be able to function in this brave new society.
