Is it just me, or is the advice about self isolating or not a bit odd? Daughter unwell on 18th, so we self isolate for 14 days. According to the Government website, since she has been showing symptoms, she can go out after 7 days, whilst the rest have to stay isolated. Unless, like me, you get symptoms, in which case you can go after 7. So what was a 14 day self isolation for me is now 10 days. Unless SWMBO and Son get symptoms then they have to stay home the full 14 days..

Mine is tomorrow! I suspect garages are very close to closing too though. I think the government will need to authorise some sort of dispensation on mots if they do to keep people legal.

Yes have long wondered about that - hardly super long life - not vital - maybe because folk don't usually buy - everyone taking one would clear the shelves quickly.

Not what I'd describe as "good news", but allows for some hope they're turning tbe tide.

"We ask all cyclists to be responsible and avoid all outdoor activity during this period," the federation tweeted.
From "The Local" online paper.
"One watchword matters: "Save lives! Stay at home!'.'
The government then appeared to back up this message by retweeting the federation with the words: "We have one message for cyclists: 'stay home'. "
But when the ministry of interior was asked to confirm cycling was banned their response to Liberation newspaper was slightly different.
The ministry said it was permitted if it was "necessary for good personal balance" adding that that it is all about "reducing your trips outside to the maximum".
The interpretation of the rules by police on the ground may also not be consistent.
One French journalist reported taking his bike out to get some exercise and the police who stopped him to ask for his form accepted that it was allowed as long as he was alone.
Cycling to work is NOT forbidden however although you will need to have your "attestation" with you to show to police.

Jeze! You are going to need to draw on some strength of mind to stop your brain from rotting. Do you have a garden?

Yeah there's a few gaps - things are changing so fast I suppose.
It all needs clarification - unless we go into total lockdown - then everyone knows where they stand.
I'm not hopeful in that sense at all, already said those things buried in this thread. Probably another 4000+ deaths to come in peak-1. Or more, maybe even 15,000.
I'm much more hopeful about testing technologies.
The most likely option is what they did in NI when the test centres closed due to the funding situation. (they only have 8)
A temp certificate was issued to give legal cover so people could still sort ignorance and stuff.

I think it’s based on the mean time till symptoms appearing being about 5.5 days after getting the virus. So after 7 days it’s 12.5 days and I presume they also have to be free of symptoms? But yes we were wondering why the difference.
Yes, i have a decent sized rear garden, so at least my dog can be outside when he wants.
Shame it wasn't the start of the winter, the weather has been so bad i've been virtually self isolating for the last 3 months.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the government instruction that these high risk individuals MUST stay at home and food will be delivered to them?
I don't want to be the one to preach to people in a difficult situation but there are pages of posts here criticising people who are failing to heed government instruction on essential journeys, social distancing etc
