more like a advice, not a must
and movie theatres partially reopening like, just a handful of people at a time spread across the room, so not people too close to each other same goes for restaurants, also tables with 1.5 metres distance from each other and also not overly crowded, more pre-arranged dining appointments with requested specific times

A woman on JV this morning had a good point about schools , people moan about the lockdown being 2 weeks too late, but the virus was about then when schools were operating as normal and nothing was out of the norm, its ok for teachers to not want to go back as they have the unions behind them and are on full pay, some children are in vunerable homes etc and need to be somewhere safe, also some schools have never closed ,and pupils have been attending,so for me I think we are being unnecessarily scared,as life is never guaranteed 100% no one can guarantee anywhere is 'safe' .

self-oscillating
|
Loss of smell or taste have been added to the UK's list of coronavirus symptoms that people should look out for and self-isolate with.
Until now, only a fever and cough were triggers for people to shut themselves away in self-isolation in case they had and could spread the infection. Ear, nose and throat doctors had been warning for weeks that more symptoms should be included. Scientific advisers told the government to update the advice. If you or someone you live with has any of these symptoms - a new, continuous cough, fever or loss of smell or taste (also called anosmia) - the advice is stay at home for seven days to stop the risk of giving coronavirus to others. Cough and loss of smell or taste can persist after seven days. You do not need to keep self-isolating after seven days, unless you have a high temperature or are unwell, says the advice. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52704417 I know quite a few people who lost their sense of taste or smell with no other symptoms Last edited by bitontheslide; 18-05-2020 at 10:49 AM. |

Loss of smell and taste were known as symptoms fairly early on.

Yes schools were open in the two weeks before lockdown, the death rate was exploding at that time, and you say nothing was out of the norm? Key workers and vulnerable kids are already at school they have been throughout, including over the Easter holidays. Don't forget teachers not only have that backing of the unions but the BMA. What does life isn't guaranteed 100% mean? That you should just recklessly put your faith in government advisors rather that experts again, I know Mr Gove is all about that but for me?.. No thank you. https://www.tes.com/news/coronavirus...some-staff?amp

Coronavirus: Ryanair describes 14-day flight
quarantine plan as 'nonsense' Michael O'Leary told Sky News he believed ministers were "making stuff up as they go along" - saying such a precaution was unworkable and unenforceable. https://news.sky.com/story/coronavir...sense-11990221 As a CEO he has made the best points today on every UK TV news and Radio.
