Accepted , I hate them aswell , I hate the point scoring , I belive it will bring unrest here people seeing England been allowed more freedom at a safe distance .. I find it very strange seening her on her podium not asking for her freedom . Stay safe
I asked in a different thread a few weeks ago if NS says one thing and BJ says another who will the Scots listen too? Who holds the power?

I don't blame Northern Ireland for doing their own thing, they have had fewer cases and fewer deaths, they should know what is going on seeing as they are there.
Similarly in Wales, if they go along with what Boris said how many people are going to turn up this week or weekend for a day trip out?

chippies in Skipton are great, the one by the canal is always busy and has been good every time we have been.
Probably where we ate, simple good food.

Another Lancashire lad but that sounds good.

If you can't work from home you need to get back to work.
Fines for those breaking social distancing have gone up.
Yr R, 1 and 6 maybe back 1st June. Maybe some shops.
But people with kids not going back to school won't be able to return to work, so if your employer says your coming back where is that going to leave people?
My kids want to be back at school, my daughter was gutted her year wasn't going back.
Being able to go further a field with family will obviously be nice.

Are you saying no staff are leaving care homes? Are they not shopping for food or using public transport?

Reception year 1 & 6 planning on going back to school, but if you've got other kids in different years you be able to return to work.
The spend as much time outdoors as you like is surely going to be chaos.
I expected either nothing different or something more structured??

Nice to read some good news 👍

I went in a gun shop years ago in Skipton but it wasn't that one, I would say go on a market day, visit the castle, walk around, enjoy pie and mash for dinner then head for the gun shop in the afternoon.

Shooters on the other hand are a soft target for them with very little risk fight back .I live in hope that we may get a limited bit of leeway, but not that optimistic
I wouldn't expect shooting to even get a mention it's such a small or niche sport, but if you can golf or fish alone then doing other sports alone should be acceptable, anything club or group based might still struggle, but if you can keep your distance in work then it should be doable elsewhere as well.

The problem is enforcing the quarantine, it's all well and good saying stay home for two weeks.
This is why the Isle of Man were or are putting people in a hotel at their expense for two weeks, people were returning but not sticking to the two week quarantine.

think it will come but with more freedom comes greater responsibility. When you see the images of lads playing football in London Fields yesterday you realise this is not going to be easy.
Reading comments on my local Facebook it seems plenty went to the beaches yesterday! Pictures of cars queuing to get into car parks.
The weather was great and people are obviously wanting to get out, but we will have to wait and see what is announced at 7pm

Driving to work last week a hare was going over a motorway bridge and silhouetted by the rising sun, it looked very serene, love seeing hares.

I think it’s about time we had a picture of the monster
it could be a new species 🤔
It'll be out of focus unless his wife takes it though!
When we find a "big one" in the garage we like to drop things nearby, its always great watching some big spider shoot out of a tiny hole and drag something away.

We’ve become scared of our own shadows and maybe mislead into thinking that this lockdown isn’t too bad as were still getting paid an amount, maybe even feel better off for deferring loans and mortgages- but that can’t and won’t last, reality is soon to kick in big time
Not sure about being scared of own Shadows, I think most are simply sticking to what the government has asked.
At our mini street party, people were sat apart chatting having a drink, I'm sure no one would have been out if they thought they could catch it.
I've been back in work now for 5 or 6 weeks the social distancing is being hammered home, lots of sanitizer around site and a reduced amount of people, but their increasing numbers next week.
The important thing is not one case on site, with care and the dreaded common sense things have to start getting back to normal, people to work, kids to school just slowly.
I would still expect those with health problems to be told stay home if you can, same for the over 70s as there is no point risking your health if you don't need to.

5k new cases today will be 1/4 million by midweek, and 35k dead . there is lots of it out there still , and the lack of distancing going on every idiot and his uncle fred out exercising. Shopping. B&Q essentials. Ill be honest i dont think we are going to do it. few are taking this seriously.
10 hours ago, Jaymo said:A ‘few’ are looking at the demographics and also realise that it’s proposed that millions have/ have had it with nothing worse than your normal seasonal colds/flu.
8 billion people in this world, 67 million here- even if a vaccine was made available then it would be years before everyone received it and by that time those who have decided to shut themselves away will most likely succumb to something entirely different.Well there were quite a few out in our street yesterday having a socially awkward VE day celebration, people talking and having a beer, no one seemed to think being there was going to spread anything, people wanted to return to work and kids to school.
There have been very few cases in our area, people only new someone that new someone who had had it so no direct contact.
We all know it's out there, but staying bottled up forever won't sort things out.

the fact that care homes , or doctors surgeries are private businesses , never really figured in the equation to be honest , the only thing that mattered was , if we can help , we will.
Top effort Mel, people asked for help and your good lady was able 👏👏

After leaving the assessment unit yesterday afternoon on the way home I saw a lot of cars parked nose to bumper outside a hardware/garden nursery, a large group of people, 30 or so outside all huddled together, cheek to jowl as they scrambled getting whatever was for sale, it appeared to be plants. Any way two sets of people were arguing by the looks of it. There was social distancing however it was 2cm not 2m.
Not good that mate, it must really stick in your craw doing what you do all day and seeing that.
Hope you're keeping well with all that's going on.

It was badly planned to let the cat out of the bag that the Government were considering relaxing the advice.
A lot of people will now just go back to what they used to do, how long till the next Covid 19 case peak?
A week to 14 days probably?
All I was expecting Monday was travel restrictions lifted but maintaining social distancing. Hopefully hobbies can recommence again.
A lot of firms are going back to work if they can manage the 2m rule, the NHS hasn't been over ran, the nightingale hospitals are ready if needed.
I certainly don't blame the government for waiting till after the bank holiday.

Why do you think that?
If government are providing the ppe then NHS comes first, this has already been discussed on other threads, many care homes are privately owned so should source their own, obviously at the moment its either hard to get hold of or gone up in price.

But why should it be deemed suitable for care homes because it's not up to NHS spec. A dementia nurse/carer looking after a patient with covid needs PPE just as much as a NHS nurse.
Would you prefer they were binned?
I've seen care home staff making their own visors out of laminate sheets, that won't be happening in A&E
I absolutely agree care homes need ppe, but nhs comes first.

So what you are saying is care home staff are second class so second class equipment is good enough for them but it's not good enough for real carers.
Calm down, the PPE isn't up to nhs spec but I've seen care homes on the news taking donations of equipment, are you telling me they wouldn't use these gowns?

I’m pretty sure that there’s a tailor or seamstress in prison at the moment for something
If we spread it around the country there’s a labour cost
I imagine there are a lot of companies who could do the work with their employees sat at home furloughed? So they are being paid.
Smaller batches would hopefully get done, so less risk of the 400,000 being wrong all at once.
