    Well that was a waste of time from the experts.

    Think we hear from the baffling idiot tomorrow.

    I don't know at @How@How. I rarely watch the media outlets on this subject. As I choose to read/watch little on the area, this was a stark warning on the potentials of the pandemic.

    Yes, you may say, it is blatantly obvious what was said. I see it as reaffirming what I already do in preventative measures but to not become complacent, which to a degree, I have done on occasions.

    I imagine if the message is interpretated by hundreds of thousands of UK folk like me, then today's simple message, may have positive overtures?

    Yes, it is obvious I should not be complacent any of the time. But I have....

    Fair enough. If that’s the case then it will work for some. A good point was the thing that there is no evidence that the virus is milder than before. A lot seem to be saying it was. Maybe we have become a bit better at treating it and everyone’s immune system was up with the hot weather we have had.
    If we don’t get on top of this the next 3 months could be a real test.

    I have to say I assumed the virus was the same as before in terms of its capacity to kill.
    I feel the timing of the press conference maybe coincides with its targeted audience, ie those of a more mature age. Maybe a stark warning for these age groups?

    It was as expected. A reminder that it hasn't gone away, we're currently on a poor course and everyone needs to focus a bit more. Nothing exciting.

    If we don't hear from Boris on this subject again it will be fine by me!

    That was my take. As no politicians were present, I took the time out to listen.

    It was a simple message. One I have took on board. Tighten my personal actions.

    I was also took by surprise that only c8% of the population may have immunity to the disease. Again a simple message by the scientists.

    Unfortunately he's already scheduled to speak to the nation later this week.

    It will be something on the lines of 'YOU must all do better or things really will get worse for you all. If it wasn't for my world beating track and trace system things would already be worse. And if wasn't for the best testing regime in the world, we wouldn't know how bad it really is. And the moonshot so everybody can have a test whenever they want has already set off from Planet Boris and is on target to .. wherever. And me old mucka Rishi will be getting his cheque book out again. So less of the doom and gloom and lets get Brexit done. Illegitimi non carborundum'.

    But most of all remember to be scared. And to do exactly what we tell you to do, or we'll fine you and you'll lose even more freedoms. And keep an eye on your neighbours - if they do anything they shouldn't, dob them in.

    No one is stopping me now from seeing who I want to see. Sorry, if I want to go to my mums I will be. Past that point for now.

    Sack Matt Handcock and prove he can lead a country then I might listen but I am not listen to that fool!

    Test, Test, Test! Trace and Trace and a Vaccine - These are the only way out of this mess but tomorrow it will be:

    Over 70's and shielding people have to stay in. Sorry @Bronco@Bronco but that's what I got from today.
    No going to others houses
    Pubs/restaurants closing at 10pm
    Work from home if possible.

    I hope for your mum's sake that you don't become a carrier of the virus and pass it on to her. That's the risk attached to her for you being irresponsible.

    Well everyone laughed at me when I said no over 70's at football. We can't be having you can do this with other people but can't see family. It's madness.

    Seriously, though yes I understand the risks but I could come in to your house now if it was for sale and spread it. If the government says no houses can be sold, no this and that then fine but they won't and that means I will just check on within reason.

    The risk is always going to be there and I its a live in hope risk mate. We can't do no more.

    The government have to up their game and sort themselves out.
