The actual exchange was even worse.

Hunt tackling PM on testing turnaround time. Why don’t you say I want tests back within 24 hrs?
PM: We’ve done that.
Hunt: You’ve introduced a 24 hr targets?
PM: Yes
Hunt: When by?
PM: I’m not giving you a deadline right now I’ve been forbidden from announcing any new targets

This means that they can announce really popular targets but just not put a timescale.

- we will reduce the base rate of tax to 10% at some point in the future.

- we will increase the NHS budget by £350m a week, no wait a minute he has already got away with that one.
 

This is moving from Trump Playbook to just plain Orwellian.

Due to confusion regarding the current government advice, a comprehensive questionnaire has been prepared by a panel of experts that will clarify matters, informing you whether you should go out or not.

Should take no more than 60 seconds.

Maybe we've got this all wrong. Has anyone tried counting his blinks or something and seeing if it spells out 'please rescue me' in Morse Code?

Well the briefing is normally at 5, so I think they have done that. 

Aaaah yes. Got confused as they move it to 4 on weekends

Just received the below from my nan, who voted for Brexit:

"Have you been listening to Boris and questions from mps he’s done nothing but say err and stutter. bet if he’d have known there was going to be all this corona virus trouble he wouldn’t have been so eager to be PM."

Keir Starmer will destroy Boris in any TV debate come election time.

Two more for the Cummings hitlist then. If they do ride this out the party will be even more loyal by the end of it

The last couple of days have definitely felt different, like that's it. lock down is over for a lot of people  When the rules were first relaxed and everyone was confused (but alert!) the expected swarms of people didn't happen. Whether that was the rubbish weather (and better weather elsewhere), or the local messaging worked, who knows.  Maybe a bit of both,  but probably the weather. 

Then, a really nice day, last Wednesday. The place felt rammed.  Not exactly bank holiday weekend rammed, not even close. In fact it probably wasn't that busy in real terms, just in comparison to the last couple of months. But then, despite the weather being OK, it calmed down again. It almost felt like everyone got it out of their system for a day (like a calmer, more scenic version of The Purge) then went back to staying at home. 

Since the weekend though, all bets are off. Constant traffic on the A591 (main road through the Lake District), car parks full or half full, so many people just wandering about cos there's nothing else to do. And so many people just wandering through our site. Just had to kick two car loads of lads out who'd just pulled into our car park (passing the 'Private, Keep out' sign and then just climbed over the obvious barriers to get to the lake)

I'm dreading this weekend

[Crazyfool01]

is there any chance of people isolating for 14 days with no symptoms now ?
