I thought it was just me but thats how i interpreted it.

Yes.

It could be said that Sturgeon deliberately does the opposite, example a cabinet minister says that Boris will make a speech to the public about lifting some restrictions, Sturgeon then announces that the Scottish government will not.

I understand your frustration about Boris not listening to what she says, but the way devolution works is this, he does not have to answer her questions, or enter into a debate with her, that is the duty of Blackford, he is the the voice of the SNP in parliament as leader of the SNP MP's, he should be raising these points in the house of commons, that is how the parliamentary process.

Most PM's will answer public question from Sturgeon, or the leaders of Wales, and NI, as a matter of courtesy, but does not have to, that is the responsibility of Blackford who can ask those questions in Westminster, and has to get a response.

Nothing to do with answering a question, bez. You should watch her press conference it’s on the iplayer. Politics scotland on bbc scotland yesterday.

Come on people. Read between the lines.
Boris has had the virus so thinks he's immune. He only cares about the economy now, not us lesser mortals.
Get back to work and stop claiming benefits. [emoji6]

The way I read into it was.

You can leave your home for exercise for more than an hour.
You can sit down on benches, or sit on the grass in a park with your family, you can even have a picnic, but must stay two metres away from others.
You can go for a walk, chat in the street, with one person who is not a member of your household
All of which you could not do.

As to work, I think, but am not 100% sure that if you work in the building trade, manufacturing etc, rather than being furloughed at 80% pay, if the company can comply with social distancing measures etc.
If you can work from home then you should continue to do so.

Some examples from my friends.
One of my colleagues from work has not stopped working, the office people have been working from home, and will continue to do so, but the shopfloor building the machines, have not stopped, but they wear facemasks, can only sit two to a table in the canteen etc.
One of my builder friends went back to work two weeks ago, as the company had made the work they were doing could be done within social distancing rules.
One of my brother in laws was furloughed, but on Friday had a call from work telling him the factory would reopen on Monday.

All the government said about getting to work was to avoid public transport if possible, he did not say you can't use public transport. The reason for this is many of the public transport operators (particularly in the cities) have said that with social distancing strictly observed capacity for passengers would only be 10% of what it was previously.

I think if people are confused they have not seen the news over the last week.
Maybe Boris could have made things a bit clearer in his speech, but as I say I did not find it unclear at all. Don't forget he said further announcements would be made on Monday, following the session of parliament.

That is in truth how I saw it your explanation with the examples is how he should of portrayed it the biggest problem was it was so vague and all wild hand gestures people can listen to what he said and interpret half a dozen things if they miss a sentence just because the speech was ramblings of a mad man I like boris in certain ways but clarity he has not got

changing the buzz words is daft I’m not sure why we have them do any other country’s use them it just confuses the issue when you change them will he change them again

So going by the formula below that they showed when BJ was confusing the masses, the current covid alert number would be:

something between 0.5 and 0.9

+

number of infections: 219,183

that gives us a covid alert level somewhere between

219,183.5 and 219,183.9

I thought it only went up to 5?

Using the R0 theory is a big no no in my mind as it’s just the theoretical reproductive rate based on infection in a group it does not mean you will catch the virus or spread the infection plus it’s geographical so if you lived in the sticks the R0 is lower because there are no people. I can’t see why the government want to make all the population clinical nurses by using a medical term

edit there will be R0 gifs next Karen on Facebook must be loving this
