The media need to listen what actually came out of the mouth of the prime minister instead of putting words he didn’t say and confusing people.

Here, Boeing have finally announced that they are shutting up their (work)shop but who knows what damage has been done by their 50,000 employees in the area going about their daily business for the past 2 weeks.

Governor (not Paul Warne) to address the state in about an hour. I feel a Boris coming on as after seeming to slow the death total jumped by about 17% since yesterday.

There is no way they will stop families seeing each other. Its nonsense. Can you imagine young grandparents not being able to see young grandchildren for months'? I don't doubt that it will cut down on family liaisons though which I suppose helps the cause. In any case how will the police be able to watch everybodys homes?The only way they will know if neighbour turns against neighbour dobbing them in but this will be remembered when the storm is past...this could turn quite ugly one way or the other...

Dont we as citizens need to take some responsibilty?

[WanChaiMiller]

Regarding essential work vs regular work - I think the lead will need to be taken by business owner / employers on this front. It should not be left to individual emoyees to make that assessment.

67 days to reach 100,000 cases
11 days to reach 200,000 cases
4 days to reach 300,000 cases

I know testing and awareness has naturally accelerated but it says it all really!

from the sun. SHOPS ALLOWED TO STAY OPEN


ONLY a small group of retailers will be allowed to stay open, they include:

• Supermarkets
• Pharmacies
• Vets
• Newsagents
• Pet shops
• Hardware stores
• Retail shops in hospitals
• Petrol stations
• Laundrettes
• Undertakers
• Banks
• Post Offices

gove as added shops providing excersise equipment (cycle shop ect) im sure this will be added too over the coming days

[flourbasher]

Newsagents is a strange one. We can get everything they sell from a supermarket so it's one less place to visit or catch it. I suppose it alleviates queues though

Banks? Why. Cash points, online banking, cash from family or post office for cash.

[Scum-Triumphant]

In the current climate of misinformation and high emotions it’s really disappointing to see 2 grown men trying to wind each other up.

Have a word with yourselves and grow up.

[caytonmiller]

gove said construction and manufacturing workers should still go to work if distancing can be achieved though people like gas fitters, carpenters and plumbers should only do emergency call outs...
wonder if postmen/woman will be working. mechanics? MOT stations? theres still plenty of grey areas

think its time for them to shut the country and stop fekin about. people can leave there home to exercise once a day ? wtf is that about
