It's Wednesday, Boris told told you to get back to work you bone idle benefit scroungers. 
Why is the Piers Morgans of this world crying so much about businesses being able to re-open? It's advice, not an order and any BUSINESS can choose to ignore it and remain closed ( as we are ) and claiming furlough for their staff. |  |

And the majority of those 238 will have had some form of undiagnosed underlying condition. As post mortems aren't taking place, it's almost impossible for them to confirm one way or another. |
So we have two experts here willing to risk the lives of the over 60’s so that everyone can go back to work? What happened to this government’s claim that “we are all in this together”? To paraphrase George Orwell, it would appear that we are all in this together as long as we are under the age of 60. |  | | |

where has anyone said that?
I think over 60s should be protected as much as possible |  |

If you stay at home, how will you be at risk? The virus doesn't keep creep under your door. | |

If everyone goes back to work that will include many over 60’s who need to work in order to make ends meet so they will be at risk. It is highly likely that the virus will rise again (it has done in other countries) which puts everyone at risk. No one is able to stay completely locked away. You really need to think about this a bit harder. As soon as lockdown is lifted, the risk is higher for everybody. Forget the 2m rubbish. The virus can travel up to 8m in a sneeze or a cough. To stay entirely safe the over 60s would have to completely self isolate all of the time. A sacrifice you might want to make on their behalf it seems. | | | |

Do your bit mate. Stay alert doesn't work for you so 'Stay at Home'
Just like WW2 we didn't ask the old to fight , this is a battle for the younger generation and they need to be able to fight it without having to worry about their elderly loved ones. |  |

I wish I could but we need the cash so will have to go back to work in June. Fortunately I don’t have to use public transport and can keep the public at a distance so hopefully it will be relatively risk free. I appreciate that the lockdown has to be lifted and there is no way it will be risk free without a vaccine so more deaths will occur. However I think it is still too early. We haven’t got the test, trace, isolate system up and running yet and that is vital in the next stage. Still, we are where we are! | | | |

That's the spirit but please don't take any unnecessary risks. Your health is more important than money. | |

It is, but everything is a balancing act and we are racking up debt and at some point need to get some more money coming in. I am sure many people are in the same position. I don’t have any health insurance so am one of the few people who is worth more alive than dead! | | | |

Sounds just like the wider economy. |  |

Indeed. As I said, I agree that we need get things going again, but it needs to be controlled better than it is presently otherwise we are going to end up with another virus spike and possibly a stricter lockdown. | | | |

And we're not going to if this article is anything to go by, looks like herd immunity by stealth it is.

They found the data
A DHSC spokesman said it had been giving data to Public Health England for a number of weeks which it shared with its local health protection teams. He said the DHSC was ”developing a solution” for others such as local authorities to access data.
He said data was not “disappearing” and that “there was a recent technical error relating to postcode data, but this has now been fixed, and a fully corrected data flow was issued last week. This did not prevent public health bodies from undertaking contact tracing of those with positive results”.

It still doesn't solve the problem of local tracing.
No joined up thinking in any of this. | | | |

They are not expendable I am lucky enough to still have both of mine.
We should just lock the over 60's up until a vaccine is found. it's seems most want lockdown anyway. |
Lock the door on me and I'll kick if off the hinges ! | | | |
