7pm Boris speech thread - anyone want to join?

[Therealfatshady]

I'm a nervy bee and thought it would be fun to watch with you all!

I work in a school, (not teacher) my ds is in year 2, what am I supposed to do

Absolutely no idea. Unless they're still allowing key worker children to attend school regardless of their year.

Choma he was clear, he said manufacturing and construction.
So now its essential jobs ( which it's always been) and manufacturing and construction and that's it.

I'm not quite sure what some posters on here think Boris is able to do. Maybe find some magic potion to give us all immunity? He is doing the very best he can in the circumstances - just tell me, who could do better?

My daughter just rang me and said why are people so dumb they can’t understand what he is saying .

That just about sums it up .

Honestly .

Anybody remember Norman Tebbitt?

Get on your bike.

BlackberryCane yes. So what happens if someone's employer demands they return this week and they are unable to add kids at home, so easy to foresee people losing jobs this way.

*as not add

Only just watched it

Very ambiguous re can travel to take exercise. Doesn't state how far etc.

Did he mention nuseries ? I can't find it
No he didnt. So you can go to a nursery in Wales, but not England.

So when he said people who can't work from home should go to work if they can - he should have been a bit clearer.

No, he's quite clearly referring to industries that haven't been forcibly closed by the state. Manufacturing, factories, construction etc.

Non-essential shops have been closed by the government and must remain so until told otherwise.

Oh Jesus! Hairdressers, nail salons, and the like cannot safely social distance, they should not be reopening!

Hairdressers are not manufacturers as someone said up thread.

Non essential shops and services like hair dresses should not be reopening.

How on earth did people take that from his speech! Beggars belief.

He isn't really giving people much notice to get to work in the morning. I'm guessing loads of workplaces have been issued with PPE since Friday so they can open tomorrow.

I'm confused can we go and see family?

Confused? Are they in your household? If not then NO!

It really was as clear as it can be in a situation that is still changing. Another thing that was clear was that if we fuck this up and mix with each other and the infection rate goes up we will be put back into harder lockdown.

He said more details tomorrow as well .

Just be patient and avoid the media . They are the ones confusing you .

If you work in a school and there is nobody at home to look after your child then you can send them to school. Just as you have been able to do for the last 7 weeks!

Why is this even being asked?

It was as clear as mud! “If you can’t work from home go to work”, so that covers shop workers etc, but then says shops won’t open until the next phase. So does my husband’s garage open or not??

As for the driving and being outside as much as you like, people are going to move around so much I can see infection rates definitely going up.

You can’t go and see your family but you could go and “sunbathe in the park” at an agreed time and coincidentally end up two meters from each other. Which is what we’ll be doing.

PMSL at people saying “Keir Steamer is disagreeing with Boris” - the leader of the opposition using this as a reason to disagree with the PM?! SHOCKER!!!! 😁😁 very easy for everyone to backseat drive and complain without any actual responsibility.

More details will come out tomorrow. He can’t go through a list of 100000 jobs for 7 hours to explain yes or no to each of them. It will come out tomorrow on gov. Website.

Also people whining about seeing friends and family not understanding that work is worth risks because of the economy but seeing family, if everyone does it, is massively dangerous with no benefit to the country.

you just know people heard the word go oujt and sports will just meet others as already been asked on here

People are pulling apart his speech but you need to watch it again as it was quite clear to me. Also he did say more details will be released tomorrow.

Why not give all the information before saying ‘go to work tomorrow’. If they have known all week that they were going to tell people to go back to work they should have gave notice for workplaces to start to prepare.

There is absolutely nothing stopping you driving to a park, sitting down for a picnic and your family/loved ones happening to also drive to that park for a picnic and sitting down 2m away from you.

Jeez some of the questions on here are unbelievable he hasn’t got a crystal ball he can only do small changes at a time

You can't possibly think the no crystal ball argument is remotely persuasive when he's literally just set out plans for the future. If you have a mechanism whereby you make plans for reception, that mechanism doesn't stop being available for Year 4.

Also, several year groups of children and staff going back to school and sectors reopening are not small changes. They probably involve millions of people in total.

He said to go to work if you can’t work from home and mentioned manufacturing and construction but there are many work places that don’t come under those umbrellas and aren’t offices or shops either.

The media are a disgrace.

Boris' message was very clear.

It really wasn't difficult to understand.

Very ambiguous re can travel to take exercise. Doesn't state how far etc

Because it doesn't really matter. The transmission risk outdoors when you keep distanced is low. The government won't be spoon feeding every small detail.
