Insurance companies can't pay out. They'd collapse long before they managed to pay everyone. Only the central bank can save businesses.

How would you notice unless you broke the rules

The army are going to be on the streets.

The next sentence from Hancock is "within the limits of the advice given." Of course people who can't work from home should still go to work. The advice is if you can work from home do so.

From midday tomorrow France will be in complete lockdown. No one allowed out except for essential reasons after a lot of people were defying the original recommendation. Government will save all businesses under threat. This will be London and the south east soon.

This is why mass testing like in South Korea is needed and why the government and PHE are failing. It's better for public health, it's better for the economy if you just knew straight up is it coronavirus or not.

They'll force them shut soon when the cases balloon in the next week. Today is just the gentle notice stage.

They're only testing people who may need to be hospitalised at the minute I believe.

Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory. The French government are warning anti-inflammatories diminish the immune system and are a bad idea when you have an infection. They're warning against people taking ibuprofen. Whether that extends to natural anti inflammatories I don't know but I wouldn't risk it for a chocolate biscuit.

Health Secretary Mat Hancock says herd immunity is not part of the government plan. Also expected that everyone over 70 will be told they need to isolate for the next 2 months.

Will they catch then with fishing nets like the Chinese police did? We are going to see a lot of changes next week as the governments Thursday plan has imploded. Serious doubts among government scientists and politicians internally and the scientific community externally have led to an enormous weight of pressure for the UK to catch up and join the actions of the rest of Europe.

A few European countries have put heavy fines on anyone breaking quarantine. That might lower some of the feckless behaviour.

The Italian army are being drafted in to work on the production line in a medical ventilator factory. Apple are going to close all of their retail stores around the world, except those in China

The biggest assumption of all is missing in the conclusions. The W.H.O have mentioned that we don't know yet if herd immunity is actually possible with this virus or if it will continuously morph to stay in circulation as some other strains of flu do. To them, it therefore makes most sense to contain until we understand better.

The behavioural science unit didn't expect unilateral and individual action in the country when consulting on the managed infection plan? Let's be honest, the government is having an absolute shocker.

There's no "the". We know vulnerable people will die. Your language is changing it to "the" vulnerable will die, which implies you can't prevent any of it. That is what you need people to believe to back the public policy you support. Thus it is arguably dishonest.

I don't follow the logic in how the behaviours aren't proactive. You're essentially saying the reactive have to recalibrate, but that they have to doesn't make an action no longer proactive, surely. Sounds more about obedience perhaps. You're simply never going to get obedience toward one approach in a culture like ours. The government could ramp up proactive requirements and still you'd get people ignoring it.

It's simply a difference in mindset. You are reactive not proactive. It's wrong to assume proactivity is panic.

Shame about the shoddy camera work

After the humiliation of the UK government response internationally and due to organisations taking action into their own hands, the government are now going to be taking more severe measures on Monday. They're going to ban mass gatherings over a certain number, number to be decided this weekend. Recommendation is going to be work from home if possible. Other measures might also come out.

UK have more critical cases than US and Germany who both have far more cases declared. There is likely a deliberate approach to not mass test over the fear of creating panic.
