No great deal of information required, just that those in specified areas should "KEEP AWAY FROM OTHERS(wherever they are, eg Wales)". Not that complicated.

How else do people suggest it should've been put in a simple manner, that can also cover all the bogus scenarios?
I was unaware it was on the late evening news, but to my knowledge it was release on twitter first. Why not make the announcement at 12pm today coming into effect from Saturday

A highly complex situation cannot be explained via simple statements to a satisfactory degree

That's like saying to those who handle nuclear waste 'just be careful with it and you'll be alright'


Finally, the ONSS & Chris Whitty have said we're reaching the limits of what we can do. But Boris is still going ahead with returning to the workplace and opening schools.

If the government tries to curb social activity to allow economic activity to increase the British public as a whole I suspect will not tolerate it.
