Yeah we have been told that its essential that we go to work from our boss. We work in the semi-conductor industry so its not essential business
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
I wonder if car mechanics and tyre and exhaust outlets can stay open?
Depends what the electronics are used for, they may be needed for medical devices.
Does UK get free premium pornhub now too?
Asking for a friend.

Why the feck wouldn't they just announce this in a press conference? At least then we may have had more clarification over the situation.
Just rewatched it. I felt he said 'you should' too many times instead of 'you must'.
Limit the shops that can open and let's be honest if the whole country is on lockdown I suspect the daily business slows down considerably
Good chance that will be essential I‘d guess, anything that can be used in important infrastructure will be classed as essential.
No Fauci in the briefing?
The world is a hell of a world.
They’d have to. There’s still going to be lots of people needing to use cars.
nope not one. Used for fitbits, cars etc no medical devices.
Fecking hell, he is going to lift the restrictions. "This country was not build to be shut down"
It's not enough. People will keep taking the piss.
There should be two 'Exercise Hours' a day - like, 12-1 and 8-9 etc for people to walk dogs / kids and so on.

I wasn't entirely serious with that, as I didn't get a serious answer. I'm still unsure what they will do here as every time I ask my friend about it, who is in the trade, he is adamant that they won't close the sites as it would cause too many financial implications with contracts etc. I'm interested to see what happens now.
That would just mean that 60 million people would be outside at exactly the same time. Not exactly what is required here.
Yea, that's what you want. The whole of the UK leaving their homes at exactly the same times.
Born up to 1964... the younger Boomers are still in their 50s man.
Also later retirement ages etc.
Yep, this is exactly my friend's stance on it. Even though there are 100s of them all working within close proximity to each other.
That would mean everyone out at the same time.
Does everyone in the country have a dog / kids...?
Lockdown for everyone else.
Thank god you're not making any decisions.
Why is he so scared of that word ?
Sorry to ask the important questions here but I wonder if takeaways are still allowed to be open
what the others said. Crazy idea.
Edit: ok so if you don’t have a kid or a dog you can’t take a walk. Also a crazy idea.
Likewise for yourself after much of the utter garbage you've posted in here since this all kicked off.

Boris slightly bungled what he was meaning, as he said "one form" of exercise.
Obviously you can do one form of exercise numerous times a day.
But he obviously meant one "session" a day. But like you say, a session can last forever.
I also was debating with people about why 1 long run would be any safer than 2 shorter runs?
However, i'll keep in with the 1 run a day routine. We all have to do our bit, while totally not melting down
They're doing what gangs have always done, which is social services to stay in the public's good books.
Why are you suggesting that commenting on measures introduced by the government is "politicising" the pandemic?
I never claimed to be an expert. Would retracting my initial statement of "weeks" and saying that these measures are one week too late be any better for you? I suspect not and yet it's me that's apparently being political...
It's almost as if, again, he was strongly suggesting what we should and shouldn't do. None of this is going to be enforced. If I go out tomorrow I'll still see people in groups, I'll still see people go out numerous times a day and I'll still see people meeting family and friends
lucky you.No idea! I'd be more impressed if he did it this way like I mentioned earlier:Why is he so scared of that word ?
I don't think people realise just how many are in this boat.
I bet you can be sued for not paying the mortgage on a house you're not in!
There's 10,000,000 kids in the UK and I have no idea how many dogs. Let's say their parents go with them and 1.5 kids per family and you have approx 25,000,000 people.
67 million people being allowed out all at once from 12-1 for exercise hours.
It's an insane idea.
