Ok a question for anyone living in England.  What do you think about boris's decision to go the stay alert message,  telling people to go back to work when Scotland,  Wales and northern Ireland have said stay to home .
A total open question,  trying not to be too political tho that's difficult.

I think it all comes down to money. We cant keep paying for people not to work. Ive had to work through it so far and if you can adapt how you work, then you do. In theory, as long as people are distancing, its possible, in the same way you can still shop. It relies on companies putting strategies in place and employees working with it. Work from home whereever possible is till the message, and there's no reason offices should all flood back. That said, what happened in London yesterday was idiocy, where the tubes were jammed. I guess its a case of waiting to see what happens.

They're easing the lockdown in England only.

I'm thinking of moving to Wales before the relatives turn up 

We're going to have to get back to normal at some point though. With sensible measures in place, and working from home where possible, it shouldn't be too difficult.

The Lock Down also being eased in Jersey......going too far in my and a lot of other peoples view...we seem to have a lid on it here 25 deaths so far,and not a new one for quite a while and yet our Government think it's a good idea to open more shops,pubs selling food and relaxing restrictions on building sites.....i fear this is a very bad decision as it seems in several countries where they have eased up they are getting increased numbers of infections...Time will tell..

I've got it.
The short of it is.. I've been diagnosed with a new heart condition and Covid -19 as a Brucie Bonus.

Dear me, so sorry to hear this - you really have so much to deal with. *hugs*
So glad your son reacted so quickly, well done!

Wishing you - and everyone else who is dealing with COVID19 or anything else - all the best for a speedy recovery! 

Things here in Germany - well, I am almost tempted that we are getting back to normal, which is obviously not true.
But so many of the measures, which weren't all that strict to begin with, are being eased now. That's a good thing, don't get me wrong. But it seems that many people indeed seem to interpret this as "hey, this is over" - and that is certainly not the case.  We'll see where this leads us - guess we have to try at some point, right?

We have to start getting back to work at some stage. £300 billion of the economy is gone and if that continues we will not have money for public services like the NHS, unemployment will create health both physical and mental and many other issues that will make COVID 19 look like a cakewalk. But we need to do it carefully.

I appreciate your phrase about not trying to be political Pol. And you are right it is hard. The usual suspects have popped up to try and muddy the waters. Sturgeon your end three weeks ago was bleating on about needing a roadmap out of the lockdown and the SNP (I read it and thought it sensible btw) produced a very short idea document. They did this because the UK government flatly refused time and time again to discuss a way out of lockdown. Now the UK government is trying to chart a way out...lo and behold...Sturgeon want to keep the lock down. Interesting think you not? 

No one knows whether it is right or wrong, but we will pretty soon see. There is an element of common sense to this, but as others have said here, not everyone has common sense sadly!

I'm reopening our business on the 1st June and am currently writing and putting in place procedures and protections for employees and the public.

The other thing that pisses me off is the people who say what the government is not clear or confused. Well I'm currently working through the 62 page "Working Safely during COVID-19 Guidance for employers, employees and the self employed"...and it is pretty damn detailed. More detailed than many of the current regulations!!!!!

There are documents for individuals and other sectors. So I'm fed up hearing how confusing it is by media people trying to make political points.

And I cannot tell you how much money we've spent on anti-bacterial gels and PPE from all over including China. I think I should give bloody Matt Hancock some lessons here.

I believe Scotland is a cpl of weeks behind England in curve,  I'm all for things slowly gearing up,  The Scottish parliament only has so much power.  Personally I would have liked to smaller businesses and shops opening up first and activities that done safely allowed first,  ie fishing,  golf etc. Masks compulsory on busy public transport

Here in N.W.Wales,we've been relatively lucky,but yesterday our county ,Gwynedd had more new cases than anywhere in Wales.Welsh government is obviously worried that relaxing lockdown will bring hoards of tourists to rural areas.As everywhere else,some people are abiding by lockdown rules while others are simply ignoring them.Police told a friend that 90% of calls were from people reporting neighbours who had visitors,bbq's etc.Any strange car in town(everyone knows each other)is reported to police. .As a so called vulnerable person I've been advised to stay in for 12 weeks.,however I think common sense and personnal responsibility must be the way ahead.Yesterday we were told we could go fishing(which I live for..after NMA of course )so I am going, ensuring safe distancing.Beaches are quiet.Doubt I'll ever go to a gig again unless they find a vaccine but think I've been lucky to see NMA so many times over the years.As Wales is still officially closed it will be interesting to see how english tourist areas like Devon and the Lake District cope with Boris' easing of lockdown rules.Stay safe everyone
