Coronavirus outbreak

[kingrollo]

That doesn’t mean all workplaces are going to reopen. After all plenty never closed. Ditto ‘other settings’

Of course not. But imo there's a decent change were are going to move in that direction to some extent - and probably more than the noises that were being made earlier in the week.

What noises? Made by whom? Government?
I only follow the BBC coverage, nothing else

Well I'm not going to Google it for you. But pretty sure the BBC news will have some government official saying "any changes to the lockdown will be minor" over the last 7 days or so.

If there’s no change expected in the public’s behaviour, why the change of slogan and new graphic?
At least our FM in Scotland is sticking with the simple message, stay home.

Yes, minor...and? I interpret that as there will be small changes, which surely shouldn’t come as a surprise given that changes are also slowly being made everywhere else in the world as the peak has been passed?

That’s rather different to everyone going back to work surely, other than cinemas, theatres, pubs, cafes and restaurants?

I think it will be closer to the latter part. Either by design or in practice.

Which from other threads around cyclechat from @Pat "5mph" for example, seems to be being loosely interpreted in some places in Scotland?

In your opinion...
My large employer certainly has no plans to reopen the office next week...or at any time soon...and when they do it’ll be done with very strict social distancing.
Are you going back to yours?

The Communities Secretary say one way we can stay alert is stay at home well that's clear then.

I d walk back on my hands.
But as I am classroom based , and work in a hospital - I doubt I will be going back anytime soon - if at all TBH.

So why do you think everyone is suddenly going to rush back to work?

Well TBF they do say most accidents happen in the home.

New t-shirt sales they've had to find some use for the gowns from turkey.

Erm.....because they have dropped Stay Home ?

They can hardly have a slogan "stay home" if they want people to return to work.
