They've had answers!!! They are not bleeping listening!!

Can the restrictions be lifted this week?

No. The numbers dip after a weekend and we've yet to hit the peak

It's been 3 weeks at this end of this week, are we looking at relaxing restrictions this week

Same answer as above

Numbers have dropped and we are looking like we may peak this weekend, can we expect restrictions to be lifted next week

Same answer as above.

If I can get it, why can't 10 different journalists get it?

I’d beg to differ (slightly) I do think they’re not willing to give a straight answer because they don’t want people thinking everything will reopen shortly and life will go back to normal. I just think an idea of what sort of order things would go in if and when the lockdown can be lifted would help people.

They've already said what will happen. They can't give an answer because they literally don't know that far in advance.

The spread is stopping, restrictions can't be stopped.

If they gave a rough time idea and that didn't happen, people will kick off. Don't give an exact answer, people are still kicking off.

It's like having a nagging child in the back of the car asking if we are nearly there yet.

I’m not talking about timing though. More about the first stage will allow the opening of certain retail businesses or restaurants being allowed to open for take away only, after that (assuming numbers do not go up again) people will be allowed to socialise in small groups. People will fill in gaps with whatever information they have and get anxious about what they are or aren’t being told. But being repeatedly told they can’t comment on it because they’re focusing on the peak is a little specious

He won’t just be sat on a ward as we know it, the ward I was on last week the staff had full ppe on, there’s no visitors allowed, phones are left outside apart from the one on the desk etc. I imagine despite being pm there will be rules.

Requiring oxygen does not mean he can’t breathe on his own. He might only be on 24% oxygen via nasal cannula, then again

Getting slightly irked by all the “#stayathome” Instagram stories of people basically just having a lovely time chilling in their gardens with a beer. Yes lucky you, you’re being paid to sit at home or do some sort of minimal work. I hate the assumption that we all have this extra time on our hands to make the most of. I’m still in work full time along with all my colleagues, my 61 year old mum is going to her retail job and won’t be furloughed and my partner is self employed and is basically watching his livelihood disintegrate before his eyes. Oh and we’re in a tiny one bed flat with no access to a garden. This isn’t a bleeping holiday!

Are you able to say what region you're in? I've noticed the figures going up a lot in the North West.



I agree. I don't wish to be awful but I've noticed a lot of the ones without underlying health issues that die and their stories end up in the press that a lot of them have been very overweight. I'm overweight but I rarely go to the GP so I wouldn't know if I have any underlying health conditions, so if I was taken to hospital and they asked if I had any health issues I would say 'no' but that doesn't mean I haven't.
