Let’s take a look at the govt advice so far as we enter the next lockdown phase:



You MUST NOT leave the house for any reason, but if you have a reason, you can leave the house 1/19

Masks are useless at protecting you against the virus, but you may have to wear one because it could save lives, but they may not work, but they may become mandatory, but maybe not. We follow the science.



Shops are closed, except those shops that are open 2/19

You must not go to work, but you can go to work if you need to, or get another job & go to work



You should not go to the doctors or to the hospital unless you have to go there, or if you are too ill to go there



STAY HOME, but it's important to go out 3/19

This virus can kill people, but don’t be scared of it. It can only kill those people who are vulnerable or old, or those people who are not vulnerable or old but that it kills



Gloves won't help, but they can still help so wear them sometimes or not, if you can get some. 4/19

There is no shortage of food in the supermarkets, but there are many things missing so don’t panic buy them. You won’t need loo rolls, which is just as well because there aren’t any.



The virus has no effect on children except those children it effects 5/19

You will have many symptoms if your get the virus, but you can also get symptoms without getting the virus, get the virus without having any symptoms or be contagious without having symptoms, or be non contagious with symptoms... 6/19

To help protect yourself you should eat well and exercise, but eat whatever you have as you must stay in, unless you have to go out



You can't see your older mother or grandmother, but they can take a taxi and meet an older taxi driver 7/19

It's important to get fresh air but don't go to parks but go for a walk. But don’t sit down, except if you are old, but not for too long or if you are pregnant or if you’re not old or pregnant but need to sit down. If you do sit down don’t eat your picnic 9/19

Don’t visit family if they are old to avoid giving them the virus, but you have to take care of the old people and bring them food and medication, & strangers who are carers can visit many old people. 10/19

If you are sick, you can go out when you are better but anyone else in your household can’t go out when you are better unless they need to go out



You are safe if you maintain the safe social distance when out, but you can’t go out with friends at the safe social distance 11/19

You can get restaurant food delivered to the house. These deliveries are safe. But groceries you bring back to your house have to be decontaminated outside for 3 days including Pizza... 12/19

The virus remains active on different surfaces for two hours ... or four hours... six hours... I mean days, not hours... But it needs a damp environment. Or a cold environment that is warm and dry... in the air, as long as the air is not plastic 13/19

Schools are closed so you need to home educate your children, unless you can send them to school because you’re not at home. If you are at home you can home educate your children using various portals and virtual class rooms....... 14/19

unless you have poor internet, or more than one child and only one computer, or you are working from home. Baking cakes can be considered maths, science or art. If you are home educating you can include household chores to be education. 15/19

If you are home educating you can start drinking at 10am



If you are not home educating children you can also start drinking at 10am



The number of corona related deaths will be announced daily 16/19

but we don't know how many people are infected as we only test those who are almost dead, if they made it to a hospital, which they shouldn’t have done if they were unwell, to find out if that's what they will die of. The people who die of corona who aren’t counted won’t be 17/19

You should stay in lock down until the virus stops infecting people but it will only stop infecting people if we all get infected and either die or don’t die so it’s important we get infected and some don’t get infected 18/19

No business will go under due to Coronavirus except those businesses that will have already gone under. 19/19
