If anyone's looking to invest in the stockmarket at the moment i would suggest any companies who manufacture or supply perspex or similar plastic dividing screens

Careful Flourbasher, I got battered from a certain tribe for a similar post

My Karcher shares are looking pretty healthy.

Yes? For those unable to work from home, they are now to go back to work. The instruction will come from their bosses, understandably keen to pick up productivity. And I get that, of course. But if it leads to packed transport, should the government be allowing it, given the likely impact on spreading again?

I'm all for moving forward, but the point I was trying to make is why are we not planning sensible and safer movement of people on transport that at least has a chance of maintaining the social distancing that we all want? This was a free for all, people doing their best, having to go to work, wearing masks, but at that level of compactness it becomes dangerous for them and wider society. Surely that bit can be planned by the government to minimise risk? We can organise quotas in supermarkets, then with some thought, planning and resourse, surely we can plan it for bus and tube services? Just need will and basic competency!

No they are NOT.
They will go back when safety precautions are in place, and gradually. not en mass.

Ah yes the loony left telling us what to do and think in a communist dictatorial type way.

Seriously, these hairdressers, bar owners, restaurant and cafe owners need to stop whinging and start thinking about how they can solve their own problems rather that bleating that no ones telling them anything.

Remove only 20% of their tables and install some clear plastic boxes. They might be able to make their businesses profitable again
Perspex will be the new PPE in a month or two and if I were them I'd be getting ahead of the game before everyone wants them

The point is Crash that work safety precautions may well be in place at their workplace. The problem is to do with getting to the work place.

When you say "They will go back when safety precautions are in place, and gradually. not en mass", to whom are you referring to? Who are all of those people that are on the busy tubes, trains and buses in the city centres? Are they not going to work then??

Ok, so are you saying that if I am a bar owner, hairdresser etc, then I can reopen and get back to business in the UK? Can you think of a small problem that might prevent me opening at the moment?

Bad news, Eastenders is starting filming again.

This guy has been named one of the top 50 scientist in the West

No doubt Piers Morgan and John2, who are not in the top 50, will put this guy right.

Wear a mask if you can’t keep the acquired distance was advised.

The tube was always going to be a problem so it should be compulsory to wear one or not allowed on.

People also need to take some responsibility for themselves, if I needed to get on the tube then I’d definitely be protected.

If you don’t want to protect yourself then stop moaning.

This board is playing up again. 😡

And the surfaces that everyone will inevitably touch [grab rails for example]
how do you deal with that?
& don't say gloves

As advised, don't touch your face (wearing a mask helps there) and wash your hands or use hand sanitiser regularly. Otherwise don't ride public transport, not every single potential risk can be fully mitigated unless the systems simply shut down altogether. Then what would people do who ride the 1.2M trips on the tube every 'normal' day before 10am do?
