Actually, he didn't mate ...

So, R can stay constant and, theoretically at least, even rise a bit, and we could move to the next level, or ( and it's a bit if a daft example, because it would take ages ) we could end up with a constant R leading to 100 active cases and never drop a level.

Ah so not purely based on R. Missed that thanks. Still not sure we would move to the next level with R increasing mind.
 
Xi wanted to sweep this under the rug, which shows the Chinese State at some level, whether intentionally or due to negligence is responsible for the spreading of the virus. The CCP will try everything to thwart the investigations because if it’s proven they have responsibility, the entire world can demand huge monetary compensation for the inflicted damage.

 
Modesty forbids me to state it all.

I dont seek praise. Let's just leave it at that.

If you were actually modest you wouldn’t have said that.

We're still trying to establish what your contribution to this crisis is...apart from keeping off your bike for a few weeks.

(Blah blah)

STAY OFF YOUR BIKES - PROTECT THE NHS

Somebody who is truly modest also doesn’t denigrate others for their apparent lack of contribution.
 
Why is there so much fuss?

We have a general plan/idea of when stuff might open again - but obviously a lot will have to go right for those dates to be met. That is a positive at least.

People have been asking for a 'roadmap' out of this. The same people are now moaning about having one.

People moaning about having to go to work. That's kind of the issue. The government can't afford to keep everyone furloughed in areas that frankly don't need to be furloughing staff - and a lot of companies will have used this as an excuse (wrongly) to do just that. Nobody is advocating people in areas like hospitality etc going back to work - they can't do. They have to be supported. But an estate agent my cousin works for as an admin assistant furloughing her isn't really what this was for. She could still do her work from home, but they decided to furlough and take advantage of the scheme. That shouldn't happen unless it is necessary surely?

Those people may well be able to work from home in which case the EMPLOYER should be allowing them to do so.

There aren't many office jobs which can't be done from home and the majority I'm sure will continue to be worked remotely.

It seems pretty clear to me what the steps are?

Seven weeks of lockdown and now we're in the back half of at least having an idea of how we get out of it. If not, then what do we do?

Also, by my reckoning, most construction (on-site) has been ongoing for the last few weeks. The amount of roadworks done around my place in the last month is staggering - suppose it's been the best time to do it, mind.
