Can anyone explain what he just said and how it's going to work?

Total train crash !
Nobody thought this through and tomorrow will be chaos again

[Toledodude1973]

total anti climax

[STEMO]

Well, I have to admit, I'm a bit confused. Who will go back to work tomorrow morning who wasn't at work already? Why can we go out in the sun on Wednesday, but not Monday and Tuesday? How can primary schools partially open on June 1st when so many teachers have nursery and years 2,3,4 and 5 aged children?
These are just a few questions, I have quite a few more.

Wife's just also told me she has two staff with asthma and two who live with relatives who are shielding. That's four more can't come in.

Exactly what was needed to be said ... with all the mainstream media bleating about "how are we going to get out of this" .... and that idiot Starmer "demanding a road map" ... the answer is...

Very, Very slowly, some small steps at a time, and if the numbers start to rise, those steps will be reversed.

It is not down to the government to stop the spread of the disease... that is an impossibility .. it is down to every single person to actively takes steps to ensure their own safety.... and if you need telling that every 30 seconds you are either very thick, making a political staement, or simply stirring the shit for your own agenda.

[Sir Tigger KC]

Yes, what did people expect?

I get the idea of quarantine for those arriving in the country by air,but what about those arriving by ferry/the tunnel or have I missed that they aren't operating non-trade services?

[cam.in.head]

exactly. its not boris's fault he didnt cause the virus but is trying to help us get through this. we are all taking notice of what we are supposed to be doing and not doing .90% of us anyway but im sure we all know of many people who dont seem to actually give a ***
dont those people realise that its them making it last longer  but they wont be the ones who end up getting sick. sods law !
i for one cannot visit any of my family and even my partner doesnt live with me yet so its hard but we are keeping to the rules.
at least we all have plenty of car time to get stuff done !

I agree totally.  But little children can't be held personally responsible for their own safety, so, unless the government come up with a set of rules which guarantee their safety, then how can schools open?

Why ??

Every school is different, in size, layout and facilities.

Every school has a Head, a "Board of Governors", and a set of teachers.... it is THEY who should be setting the rules for within their own establishment ....

There are no "guarantees" in life .. let alone with a highly contagious virus .. so to demand "rules that guarantee safety" is more a political point than a reality


Of course, being stupid I forgot .. teachers unions are mostly labour controlled/left wing orientated .. so it is natural to blame a tory government for everything

Wife's just had a call from a nurse friend, who was quite concerned about the idea of opening primaries without addressing any of the five conditions the that the unions asked to be in place. She said "If a child vomits, the classroom must be evacuated for at least an hour and a specialist cleaning team be called". No one has been made aware of anything like this.
Boris is an irresponsible tosser who has been made to look inept by Nicola Sturgeon, and that's saying something.

Glad you said you were stupid, saved me 
You've been out of the system too long. Whoever sets the rules to ensure the safety of people within any setting are held responsible for any gaps in those rules. That's why the health and safety professionals set the rules, and only then can people who disregard those rules be held accountable.
Teachers, cooks, cleaners, etc. are not trained in how to deal with the current scenario, and it's not fair to ask them to make the rules on how it should work in schools.
Sorry for the lack of quotation marks and pauses for effect. I don't feel the need for them.

Brilliant, Dave, expect that to hit Boris' inbox tonight
