Extension until March 2021 Money Furlough
confirmed

[Strictly Jake]

Must say it brought a tear to my eye getting the bus back to work after my lunch break seeing all of the little shops, pubs and hairdressers all closed. A lady was shutting up her hairdressers and was crying. I guess she probably doesnt know if or when she will return. Id say the 4 weeks has the potential to expand to longer

Im in a limbo as to whether im jealous of people getting 4 weeks off with furlough or being apprecaitive I have 7 hours a day of work with full pay.

They will definitely reopen in December, but I expect it will be done gradually.
I know it's difficult, but it's the only way to get numbers down.

It’s certainly not the only way, and one of the big ways (colleges and unis) hasn’t been explored yet.

no schools and unis have to stay open, important for children

and also important for parents to not have annoying children at home all the time

Good news from Scotland again. Nicola says R number around 1 and again our harder approach earlier is showing good positive signs on the numbers

College is 16+ Nicky. 16-24’s are spreading the virus the most since they returned to education.

I guarantee you I am safer at home than college. In college I have to be in a room no larger than my kitchen with 15 other people, no masks, no PPE. The other option is virtual learning (which we did for most of last year and worked perfectly) where I can be protected from the virus myself and my vulnerable household.

Lets hope this lockdown works. It would be nice to actually have Christmas to look forward to.

The government has been criticised by the official statistics watchdog for the way it presented data to justify England's second lockdown.

The UK Statistics Authority highlighted the use of modelling at Saturday's TV briefing showing the possible death toll from Covid this winter.

It said there needed to be more transparency about data and how predictions were being made.

The projections were out of date and over-estimated deaths, it has emerged.

no chance, since youth don't listen and will still go on with the illegal partying

and this lockdown is too short anyway, just one month, you need definitely two or three months

Now Press Questions

[AnnieK]

I agreed with the first question about outdoor spprts. My son sits in a classroom all day woth 30 kids, twice having to self isolate because of positive cases but he cant play 7 a side football or go to his athletics club where they keep they all socially distant when lane running.

[joeysteele]

He's talking about opening up hopefully things for Christmas.
I can see possibly more chaos by or just after Christmas.

Starting to or opening up, things from December 2nd is in my view going to have in those mad 3 weeks to Christmas and New Year.
Caution thrown to the wind bigtime.

He's raising again a hopeful success in this measure.
Which of course all hope it will be.
Will he however, throw it all away again by opening all up too soon, too quickly in the run up to Christmas and New Year.
