Johnson set the alert level at about 3.5, so we have fewer than three infections. Good news.

You could try- police turning people back at the border and fining the obstructive ones.

Does that make the Alert Level 31,855.9 (based on yesterday's new cases and an R of 0.9) or 186,984.9 (based on yesterday's active cases)?

Yes. Seeing as the scale goes from 1 to 5, I would expect 31,855.9 to be pretty serious. Maybe not do a conga for VE day?
When this popped up it reminded me of those shampoo adverts that said "now for the science bit" and then waffled on about nutrileum.

But the police would have no authority for stopping or fining people at the Cumbria border. Driving into Cumbria would be legal.
I'm not sure I only have A-level maths
I think I need to ask my mate with a PHD physics if he can work it out.

It will be down to all employers to assess and put into place measures that are suitable for each individual workplace, not the government...and that's the way it should be. Perhaps he could have made that clear but it's an obvious to me at least.
I've worked all the way through the lockdown and you're all, well a lot of people, are going to be distinctly uncomfortable with going back because you're likely not going to get a perfect solution, its impossible. My company has put loads of measures in place...lots of money spent, lots of day to day managing of problem areas...and yet, achieving safe distancing at all times is virtually impossible, it make me mad sometimes, it makes me nervous most 9f the time....and it's what 90% of people are going to have to confront unless you're very lucky.
The government cannot answer and solve all the issues, there are going to be a myriad of uncertainties and compromises to be made, people are just waking up to it. Lockdown was easy, going back to work isnt going to be in many cases. Welcome to my world all you so far lucky people that were furloughed.

Have you a link to that please?
I can only find Tim Farron's views on the matter which are not official advice.

It is a dilemma as to what is ideal in The Lakes (as it will be in many other tourist hotspots) as the bleating here about the leisure sectors financial hammering is reaching a crescendo within my contact circle. All a question of balance and one that is very tricky.
How full The Lakes gets from Weds onwards is open to conjecture - there's nowhere open to stay, nowhere open to eat (apart from the odd takeaway here and there) and the pubs are shut. That won't deter everyone for sure but I can't see there being an overwhelming stampede - although I sure the Media will contrive some image that suggests otherwise.
I'm in the Central Lakes area later this week so I'll try to remember and report back.

Many thanks for that - it didn't come up on my search.
I guess there is a possibility that the ACC's view might be clouded by the potential increased workload for the Force?
On my quick whizz around the village this morning the (legally separated) chats with 3 other residents didn't raise any real concern over the issue, which was discussed in the light of yesterday's announcement.
