Didn't the flu kill 20K last year?
30k isn't that bad and no need to close down the country.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
32K so far because the country was closed down, in a few months. The flu killed 20k(?) in a year, with no lockdown.
Think, digest and if you don't understand, have somebody explain it to you as this is genuinely absolute stupidity.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal life has to resume though.
We cant stay indoors forever.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nobody said we have to stay indoors forever. In fact nobody said you have to stay in doors at all. You were allowed to go to the shop, exercise and go to work.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stay at Home (for 23 hours a day) was literally the UK governments message until yesterday.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No it wasn't.
The message was only leave home, if for food, for work or for exercise. I spend 10 hours a day, on average outside the home, which was the same before 'lockdown'.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think everybody understands the primary message was Stay at Home.
Of course there were exceptions if your work is essential and you cant do it from home.
But the clear message for the majority of folks was to stay at home.
And for those people who have been trapped at home for 23 hours a day it is really taking its toll.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No. You were never told only to go to work if you work is essential. You were told to only travel to work, where travelling is essential, ie. you can't work from home.
My work is not essential, I still have to do it.
I don't blame people for misunderstanding as Bumbling Boris is intentionally making confusing statements.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Out of interest what kind of businesses fall into that category?
Take building sites for example - majority of them not essential in the current situation and obviously the work cannot be done from home - yet as far as I am aware they have all been shut.
It was clear for my business in that we were identified as essential early on.
What non-essential sectors have been continuing to operate? Has there been any guidance over who can open?
It might not have been directly from the governments advice but I was certainly under the impression that there was a general acceptance than non-essential businesses that couldn't be sustained by home working were closed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, many shut as they aren't as selfish as some think and actually thought about the safety of their workforce. However they weren't obliged to. It was only places where the public gather, ie shops, bars restaurants etc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's just patently not true at all
Most places closed because they were simply unable to put in place social distancing rules. They had no choice so I can't see how you can attribute that to them either caring or not.
Are you genuinely suggesting that the majority of companies simply don't care about their staff?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I suggested the opposite. Reread.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You're suggesting that many companies shut because they weren't selfish.
I'm saying they didn't for that reason at all.
Please reread (your words)
What even is a gaming chair, is this just a pseudonym for your waank chariot?
Working from home is fine if you’ve got a good setup, but can see it being a nightmare if companies do think about shutting offices with health and safety and ergonomics if it is made permanent. Never mind the social impact, inefficiencies from working remotely etc. Can’t see offices simply being shut.
Speaking of IT failures, I had to laugh last week when I read about it the tracking app, and how NHS IT teams were on the case to make sure it operates smoothly.
The NHS IT infrastructure is appalling
They still run Windows 7, have more outdated hardware than is payable practical, and it's a nightmare getting loads of their software to operate.. constantly crashes, when it doesn't crash it takes forever to upload or download to their network, their network is patchy as fvck, and getting anything fixed takes them days usually.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
i don't think offices will just shut but I do think there will be a far greater degree of working from home which for many companies was more of a fad than anything.
Construction and manufacturing can't work from home. Nor can many public services, education or front line services and that's before you get to retail, hospitality and travel.
In reality; not many businesses can actually truly work from home.

It is interesting because we have had more then one member of staff stopped by police and challenged as to why they were still going in to work.
we had to issue staff with a letter explaining why they were essential workers and still travelling into work when the lock down started.
I will admit I switched off from a lot of the stuff that didn't effect us a few weeks ago. But I certainly wasn't under the impression that places like non-essential building sites had all closed down voluntarily.

My son has a letter from the evening times saying he’s an essential worker because he delivers the papers in case he gets stopped.

Yes well when you start querying as to how thick people are without even having any idea as to who you are talking to, you demonstrate a complete lack of any ability to hold any discussion; so in fairly simplistic terms; go fwck yourself.

And just to qualify your inane nonsense I was saying that companies closed down because they had to (despite not being instructed) with scant regard for their employees safety.

Think, digest and if you don't understand, have somebody explain it to you as this is genuinely absolute stupidity.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Normal life has to resume though.
We cant stay indoors forever.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nobody said we have to stay indoors forever. In fact nobody said you have to stay in doors at all. You were allowed to go to the shop, exercise and go to work.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stay at Home (for 23 hours a day) was literally the UK governments message until yesterday.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No it wasn't.
The message was only leave home, if for food, for work or for exercise. I spend 10 hours a day, on average outside the home, which was the same before 'lockdown'.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think everybody understands the primary message was Stay at Home.
Of course there were exceptions if your work is essential and you cant do it from home.
But the clear message for the majority of folks was to stay at home.
And for those people who have been trapped at home for 23 hours a day it is really taking its toll.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No. You were never told only to go to work if you work is essential. You were told to only travel to work, where travelling is essential, ie. you can't work from home.
My work is not essential, I still have to do it.
I don't blame people for misunderstanding as Bumbling Boris is intentionally making confusing statements.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Out of interest what kind of businesses fall into that category?
Take building sites for example - majority of them not essential in the current situation and obviously the work cannot be done from home - yet as far as I am aware they have all been shut.
It was clear for my business in that we were identified as essential early on.
What non-essential sectors have been continuing to operate? Has there been any guidance over who can open?
It might not have been directly from the governments advice but I was certainly under the impression that there was a general acceptance than non-essential businesses that couldn't be sustained by home working were closed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, many shut as they aren't as selfish as some think and actually thought about the safety of their workforce. However they weren't obliged to. It was only places where the public gather, ie shops, bars restaurants etc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's just patently not true at all
Most places closed because they were simply unable to put in place social distancing rules. They had no choice so I can't see how you can attribute that to them either caring or not.
Are you genuinely suggesting that the majority of companies simply don't care about their staff?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I suggested the opposite. Reread.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You're suggesting that many companies shut because they weren't selfish.
I'm saying they didn't for that reason at all.

Working from home is fine if you’ve got a good setup, but can see it being a nightmare if companies do think about shutting offices with health and safety and ergonomics if it is made permanent. Never mind the social impact, inefficiencies from working remotely etc. Can’t see offices simply being shut.

Speaking of IT failures, I had to laugh last week when I read about it the tracking app, and how NHS IT teams were on the case to make sure it operates smoothly.
The NHS IT infrastructure is appalling
They still run Windows 7, have more outdated hardware than is payable practical, and it's a nightmare getting loads of their software to operate.. constantly crashes, when it doesn't crash it takes forever to upload or download to their network, their network is patchy as fvck, and getting anything fixed takes them days usually.

i don't think offices will just shut but I do think there will be a far greater degree of working from home which for many companies was more of a fad than anything.
Construction and manufacturing can't work from home. Nor can many public services, education or front line services and that's before you get to retail, hospitality and travel.
In reality; not many businesses can actually truly work from home.

It is interesting because we have had more then one member of staff stopped by police and challenged as to why they were still going in to work.
we had to issue staff with a letter explaining why they were essential workers and still travelling into work when the lock down started.
I will admit I switched off from a lot of the stuff that didn't effect us a few weeks ago. But I certainly wasn't under the impression that places like non-essential building sites had all closed down voluntarily.
