  england, wales, scotland & n.i.

  are independently making or changing the covid 19 lockdown laws/rules to suit themselves... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52600708.

  garden centres are opening in wales on monday, in england on wednesday, but by the looks of things, are far too dangerous to open them anytime soon in scotland or n.i.

  Sigh!! Yet more criticism and still nothing constructive to offer?

  Thanks for the heads up.

  Yes, back in the real world - you never answered the question. Are you just trolling, because you're only criticising. You haven't offered anything constructive to the discussion.

  Here's your chance: what great wisdom/solutions can you share with us which will save thousands of residents from premature deaths? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52631604

  @ Cofty: test and quarrantine staff before allowing them anywhere near the residents.

  Oil-rig workers, armed forces etc. all have to leave their families for limited periods of time, so why not care-workers in order to save lives?

  a) Who said anything about "8 weeks confinement?"

  b) "Pending a vaccine?" A miracle vaccine eh? Like the 'fu vaccine, which still lets 1000s die?

  Your turn: What "sensible" & "workable" solutions can you come up with which will stop care-home residents being killed by staff who infect them not only with Covid 19 now, but with the deadly 'flu virus in 6 months time?

  Exactly Stan.

  Children's nurseries etc. are subject to stringent tests in order to protect kids from pervs.

  Care home residents should likewise be protected from potential killers.

  @ COFTY - Quarrantine the residents and the staff for starters - many lives were at stake - and then show the staff how to implement strict hygiene measures - something which was alarmingly lacking when I visited my best friend's mother in the so-called "care" home where she was (thankfully) a temporary resident.

  Trillions of £/$ have been spent to legally impose "protection" on healthy people, while little or no safety precautions were instituted immediately to protect the very ones who were almost guaranteed to be killed by Covid 19. Many of those deaths could & should have been prevented. It isn't rocket science.

  Training in "strict barrier"? Isn't personal hygiene the primary barrier which prevents infection & transmission.

  The most draconian laws and regulations in history were imposed on the UK public, but nursing homes simply "banned visitors"? That worked well, didn't it?

  No doubt we'll be seeing "new regulations" for such establishments being implemented before the next 'flu season hits the U.K. Lock the stable-door.....

  BBC News today =

  NURSING HOMES: "The care sector, for example, believes more should have been done to protect care homes, given the rising number of deaths that are being reported - there are indications that these account for HALF of all deaths now." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52611507

  Will anyone be held accountable for this avoidable catastrophe?

  Nicola Sturgeon doesn't want Boris' new slogan advertised in Scotland.

  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-52605959

  Isolate and protect the most vulnerable and let the fit & healthy resume normal life again. Quarrantining millions of healthy people is mind-blowingly insane!

  If the UK governments (plural!) had implemented strict protective measures for nursing homes right at the outset, how many lives would have been saved? Disgustingly & criminally negligent.

  Quote from BBC News: "Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to unveil the system, which will use a scale of one to five, as part of an address broadcast to the nation at 19:00 BST."

  Yes BBC - to the ENGLISH nation, not the Welsh, Scottish, or N.I. nations.

  The only thing "united" in all of this was the contempt of the chief advisors in England and Scotland, Prof. Neil Ferguson and Catherine Calderwood who broke the laws on "social-distancing" which they dictated everyone else should obey! But they weren't sacked - they "resigned."

  @ cofty - devolved powers & laws are one thing, but a national crisis/emergency situation overrides devolved administrations - or at least, common sense says they should. AFAIK, London dictates in such situations.

  If not why didn't the U.K. government accept N.I. & Scotland's wishes to remain in the E.U.?

  I'm off to B&Q garden centre now!
