Denmark to start a slow open up from Wednesday next week -

[MIgZig]

As long as we all continue to behave ourselves over Easter and our numbers remain manageable.

Children in nursery, kindergarden and up to 5th class to go back from Wednesday next week.

Halleluja!

Sensible policy. How far behind peak are we in the U.K.?

(Hopes the British Covidiots manage to stay in and behave at Easter. In fact, for the first time ever, I’m hoping it pisses it down for the whole bank holiday).

Covidiots? You consider yourself a covintellectual, presumably.

Great to have some positive news.

Nope but I am following government advice on social distancing ie not inviting friends round for a corona party / BBQ and keeping our household at home.

Like pretty much everybody. Have a gold star.

Great about Denmark, OP.

Great news!

@HannibalOnaHeffalump

You clearly got out of the bed on the wrong side.

There are plenty of reports in the news about people ignoring government advice.

How long have you been in lockdown there again OP? X

Denmark went into lockdown 12 days before us according to the internet.

The borders were shut also. they tested over 6000 today and yesterday hoping to get to 7000 a day this week. Which given the size of the population would be equivalent to over 70,000 a day in the uk. Testing childcare, socialcare and health care workers regularly as well as suspected patients.

Lockdown was announced 11 March. To start from the following Monday compulsory, but as soon as possible before. So if you could work from home and/or keep kids off school from 12 you were encouraged to do so.

There are plenty of reports in the news about people ignoring government advice

Yes and why are there reports about it? Because news items are newsworthy. That is, the rare idiots who won't comply make it into the news, eg these: www.getreading.co.uk/news/reading-berkshire-news/group-caught-after-crashing-car

But it doesn't mean everyone is doing it.

Great news about Denmark (and Austria). Hopefully we won't be that far behind.

Testing childcare, socialcare and health care workers regularly as well as suspected patients

Wow—a great approach!

@cologne4711

Show me where I said everyone is doing it?

Fucking hell, the petty little girls of mumsnet even manage to bring a positive thread down .
