Has anyone seen any estimates on when we can go back to work?

No, but I am retired, so if they ask me to return they can feck right off. lol .
In answer to your question, I don't think anyone has a clue....possibly as soon as all the over 60s have been culled.

I'm going on my own company policy and basing it around some colleagues of mine who have left not that long ago.

So its a company scheme that would be a far better deal than state redundancy paid by the Government - I see where you are coming from

Feb 28th for 3 months or when your company decides to implement it if you are working from home etc - it will be interesting how long furloughing will carry on if the virus does not subside?

What I'm seeing is fear, ridicule, people who simply don't have the answers and that is understandable.

Putting you hands over your ears and shouting loudly blah, blah, blah isn't going to make this go away.

Clement Attlee was brought into the government during WW2. That is what you do during times of emergency, when you are faced with a crisis all hands are called to the deck.

You still haven`t answered the original question put to you by @Nymzee though have you ?

Who exactly would you replace our current democratically elected leaders with and their scientific advisers and how would you do it ?

Labour are in transition and are about to elect a new leader, as are the Lib Dems, so neither of them are really in an ideal position to take up the mantle.

Next we move onto how would you depose a democratically elected government.

Do the army take power in a coup d` etat, do the present government just decide they don`t like being in government anymore and put the keys through letter box of Number 10 or does Mathew Corbet come along with Sooty and shout, " Izzy Whizzy Let`s Get Busy " and the whole government disappears in a puff of smoke ?

I'm not saying that it wouldn't stop people going for minor stuff, of course it would. I pulled something in my chest or bruised ribs last week and it's still painful when I breathe, nevermind moving about - I haven't slept properly for a week but I ain't going to the doctors! So it's easy to see that it makes a difference too.

But there is also less risk of having to go to a&e. Try putting that into the statistics though...

My GP practice are only carrying out telephone or skype consultations, as the have not been issued with protective clothing ..... yet they have been great with me and my local chemist sorting out my medication etc... a very sensible thing to do imo don't blame them....

"Furloughing?" Is that a euphemism for shagging? Have I missed something here?

Furlough definition - leave of absence, especially that granted to a member of the services or a missionary.
or -grant leave of absence to.

And also shagging

In a sentence: "Emily Thornberrty would furlough the country by roughly 80%"

Amazing to see todays headlines there with even the telegraph and the DM Seemingly putting The boot in over testing .

Well you could do it in the missionary position as defined, but with her it after 15 pints and youve missed tha last bus home plus you would need a bucket to swing on the handles

You mentioned missionary there.,.. so it is shagging.
