The main points I got from it were:

  • Second lockdown.
  • A lockdown but not like the first lockdown.
  • Schools/Universities to remain open.
  • Furlough extended for a month. Was due to end tonight.

I think the bit I have highlighted in red, could be problematic, in that how will it cause the R rate to be under 1, with children mixing with other potentially infectious children, passing on the virus?

The growing unrest and mental health of people could see issues of suicide rise exponentially. (It already is to some degree).
