So that means we don’t need to “stay (at ffs) home” anymore?
The old bill are going to love the ambiguity of the new message.
Of course we need to hear the Prime Minister later as the lockdown restrictions may well be lifted which would make the transition from “staying at home” to “staying alert” message appropriate, however if we are still being asked to “stay at home” it’s a shambles and somebody is going to have make an embarrassing u turn.

OS, l cannot work from home and have been working on and off since lockdown, over this time l have seen more and more people out on the streets. it can only be office and non essential shop works still off, as all other Trades are still working. Surely if people think its ok to go walkabout and mix when on furlough, then they should be allowed to go back to work.
Two or three weeks ago the press and MP's were banging on about lifting lockdown, and now that it looks like lockdown is going to be eased they saying its to soon !! |  | | |

I think it’s too soon. I’m having a lovely long holiday on almost full pay, and am looking forward to the garden centre opening up tomorrow. I’ll be gutted if he says my sector is reopening before June. | |

I agree its a nice slow pace of life at the moment, but with respect, if you were not being paid to stay at home would you still see that way?. | | | |

Two or three weeks ago you were calling for the lockdown to be lifted!?
Berating the left wing, as usual. | | | |

It needs lifting, but from a personal point of view I’m loving having a long holiday. I don’t apologise for that. Lockdown has been brilliant. | |

I have to say I think garden centres are amongst the most boring places on earth.
I will barely be able to contain my excitement at their re-opening. | |

Alert of what? | | | |
| “Stay Alert” on 11:18 - May 10 with 5244 views | kentsouthampton |
Apart from a two week blip at the start when sales fell dramatically it hasn't affected me in the slightest,I trade from home anyway.
Sales are back to normal. |  | | |

Its pathetic isn't it. Nudging people back to work and danger and if that doesn't work starving them into submission by cutting the furlough allowance to 60 percent.
I bet Boris and co are protected now though. |  | | |

Molecular viruses contained in microscopic water droplets in the air. Viruses on door knobs. You know, that kind of thing. |  | | |

Please Kernow lets not make this a left or right rant, mistakes are being made all the time and would have been if anyone else was in power. People need to take responsibility for their own actions, its not the fault of any government if some people wont do what is right for the good of everybody, because they dont agree with it | | | |

Absolutely appalling message. The Scottish medical lead said he doesn't even know what Stay Alert means. I think it is sounds like when out, keeping your eyes wide open, looking around at all times whilst looking for the virus. Anyone else got a clue? | | | |

According to that font of all wisdom Robert Jendrick stay alert means stay at home, if that's the case why change the advice? | | | |

Because the official unofficial message now is to go out but the official official message is still to stay in. In other words they secretly want everyone to go out even though they are having to say they want everyone to stay in. It’s quite clear when you think about it. Once everyone starts following the official unofficial advice and start going out and ignoring the official official advice it will mean that the lockdown is lifted and when the official unofficial advice becomes the official advice the advice we were unofficially following will be what we are doing anyway. | |

And it will all be our own fault if we have to go back into lockdown again, this lot are so transparent it's ridiculous. | | | |

This is the problem. The nation has become almost addicted to benefits and almost full pay for sitting at home doing nothing.
There are so many people on Twitter etc shouting and screaming for the lockdown to be extended, 99.9% of them are 'workers' currently furloughed or workshy teachers sat at home on full pay.
I imagine the furlough scheme will end for all sectors able to still trade ( everything apart from events and hospitality ) from next month.
Hopefully todays announcement effectively makes it 'acceptable' to visit close family and friends if done sensibly. |  |

We have the most generous furlough scheme and employee/employment benefits in the world through this pandemic.
Even as a BUSINESS owner, I agree that the furlough scheme needs phasing out. The nation ( Dunce included ) have become addicted to benefits. | |

I didn’t know that you had to declare your employment status to go on Twitter | |

Big BUSINESS needs to hear tonight what is happening with the Job Retention Scheme for furloughed workers, currently running until the end of June.-
Collective consultations affecting 100 or more staff require a 45-day consultation process.
I think there may be some very busy HR teams this week depending on what they hear tonight..... | |
