Strangely enough she doesn't trust me too choose the right ones.
I mean how hard can it be you just measure them and pick a nice set with flowers on.

They are not being told to abandon their shielding.
They’re being told they can go outside with another member of their household.
My dad is ecstatic to be able to just go for a walk with somebody else for the first time in two months.
Don’t be so over the top.

TBF some of those who were counted as shielded have been told they will no longer recieve help:
Text message tells vulnerable people in UK they are dropped from shielding list
Outcry after some in England told they would lose government support without doctors being able to talk to them first

Going outside in an environment with a reproduction number at or near 1 (and probably over 1 in many localities in the north west of England) is not sound advice.
It's way too general an approach.
Look at the enormous amount of tools now not observing social distancing...and certainly not covering their stupid 'kin faces. It's too dangerous for those being shielded to go out. Stay indoors.
What an utter disgrace of a government this is.

Hahaha, it must be a joke, right? With all the carefully crafted monitoring systems the government have in place, it should be a doddle isolating all the variables they're relaxing at once to determine how to lower a future spike/save thousands of lives/stop the NHS from catastrophicaly overloading.

That’s clearly stupid but really it’s a separate point.
In the current environment going outside once per day with the person you live with and observing social distancing places you at little or no increased risk.
The greatest risk those shielded people face is those who they live with, and that continues to be the case.

After 3 months of this, one thing is abundantly clear: this government couldn't give a flying one how many people in this country die of Covid19.

Spot on this, and heartbreaking too.
A young nurse in Gtr Manchester who was shielding due to major renal issues died of COVID last week, which was presumably unknowingly brought into the house by her family. It's bad enough losing your wife or mother, but knowing you may well have brought the virus into the home is utterly tragic.

Did it ever occur to you that many people being shielded are living with people who are shileding with them? And you would have them undo all the good work they've done in the last 3 months by going out into an environment where - in regions like the north west and north east - there is a very real danger of picking up an infection.
You deal in abstractions mate.
Movement stats for yesterday:
London - 19%
Manchester - 17%
My mum works for the NHS (not frontline) but they have told her she cannot work from home as they’re unable to provide a laptop/VPN setup.
People she works with have been diagnosed with Covid but she still has to keep going into the office.
So the implication that her and my dad going for a daily walk together is going to place him at increased risk is frankly a piss take.

Similar here with my youngest lad who is disabled.
He hasn’t been out of the house for the best part of 9 weeks and as a result has developed the pallor of Dracula.
We’re taking him out to the local park with us and the dog today, which has massive wide open spaces.
I really don’t see what all the drama is about. It’s down to the individuals who’ve been shielding and their parents / carers to decide whether to go out.
If they don’t feel comfortable going it, don’t, it’s as simple as that.
lol
You’ve just tried to use some Hokey Cokey calculation that because the R is at 1 it’s therefore unsafe to go for a walk outside while social distancing. The science is quite clear, at 2 metres and outdoors you are at little to no risk of contracting the disease.
1+1=3
If my old man had listened to your sage advice back in February he’d probably be dead by now.
And don’t call me mate.

That doesn't compute for me - the 'choice' bit. If you offer people a bit of freedom after 10-12 weeks stuck indoors then it'll be prettty difficult for them to ignore that temptation.
It's utterly irresponsible advice.
According to that lemon you’re probably a murderer.
Interesting point about his skin from no sun, as there’s some suggestion that levels of Vitamin D is linked to the severity of Coronavirus.
You think riding your bike is essential you absolute dope.
