New thread

*shut

So what about the thousands of construction sites that gave been carrying on as normal? Do they just down tools and stop work or are they classed as essential work? Half the people travelling around London are construction.

@mrshoho I imagine they will only be required to make sites safe. After that it has to stop.

Well, there's about 20 threads popped up with everyone saying "phew, thank goodness we can go to the park with the kids and Fido"
So I'll give it another 2-3 days before they all get padlocked and have patrols on them.

Hope you're all feeling ok about it.

@MangePas I've been absolutely bombarding him since the end of January along with every cabinet minister and MP
I don't know if you've watched Jacinda Arden's address to the kiwis but it's well worth it.

Will my DC still be able to go to their dads EOW?

I'm thinking no because it would be mixing households ?

I also working manufacturing but in the office processing orders/paperwork. I have to come in I can't work from home.
My only option would be if I quit which won't happen or I get ill.
It's a small ish company. Already down few staff.

I never realised that so many people didn't understand the word essential. And still don't despite having it explained very clearly.

He spoke well imo and good content

@itsallwrongisntit I would verge in the side of caution and say yes that's right. They should stay at main residence.

I'm hoping this is where the Army step in to support the Police in their powers. A visible army presece might make people more willing to comply!

Well the whole company will be closing @unique1986. Or it should be! No one will be placing orders.

Army next. Not enough police for sure...

Our neighbour is having an extension built.

Builders in today. But I did notice that one of them wore a face mask all day.

I overheard them talking last week saying they couldn't afford to stop working as they rented.

I think that's ultimately your problem. It is essential to them.

Schools still open for key workers’ and vulnerable kids?? Anyone know?

I mean obviously those kids still need to be cared for, but there was no mention of children travelling to school?

My dad plaining to go into work tommrow - building trade but been told to only not go in if an email comes in saying no or boris personally shuts the building trade down. He didnt and no email yet.

Rachel Wearmouth - 'There were no measures to control panic buying.

People will interpret the words "essential" and "basic necessities" very, very differently.'

I'm not very clear on the daily exercise advice.

Are you allowed to exercise once a day with more than one member of your household, e.g. parents and two children? Elsewhere he mentions groups of more than two people being dispersed.

Thanks!

If only my company hadn't started making hand sanitizer...

He said only two people unless from same household.

BNO Newsroom - 'BREAKING: Banner Health in Arizona says a man has died and his wife is seriously ill after taking chloroquine, which has not been approved to treat or prevent coronavirus.'

If there’s more than just one person then they all need to be from the same house. In other words: you can’t meet your pal/family in the street and pretend you’re exercising.

My mum through is anoyed boris forgot to mention banks and post offices and it was up to mark drakford to tell us.

What about how you exercise ? Just walk about your street , or go in the car to the country if a mile or so away ?
