I was sent some info in the last hour by a good friend who works for a ‘government department’.
He says that today’s announcement after the Cobra meeting is stage one of a four part plan.
Stage one is basic, ‘self isolation for any one with symptoms for one week’.
Stage two will be ‘self isolation for any one with a family member with symptoms for two weeks’.
Stage three will be ‘isolation for anyone elderly and vulnerable (with or without symptoms for thirteen weeks’).
Stage four will be ‘closure of shops, events etc’.
Each press update to be released in stages to ease reaction.
Government planning is for 500,000 cases.
This plan lasts until September, with a current expectation of a May – June peak.
After a short reflection I’ve passed this information on to you guys and girls because at the moment Boris and co are telling us very little.
