Of the guardian news that uk Police Officers have received 200,000 calls informing on people who have broken lockdown rules. Lets begin. Welcome to you both. Lets see if we could get the papers right this time lets start with the time. Britain passed the peak of the virus but anyone hoping for a quick lifting of the lockdown is not going to be happy, are they . No, there is a huge series of steps that the Prime Minister is indicating that we re Prime Minister is indicating that were going to have to go through to get to any kind of sense of life before coronavirus. I think mention ofa before coronavirus. I think mention of a road map and before coronavirus. I think mention ofa road map and no before coronavirus. I think mention of a road map and no specific time
01 of a road map and no specific time or dates yet does indicate theres a lot of thinking to be done. At least the conversation can start with businesses that are desperate to get back to work. People who are failing very u nsafe back to work. People who are failing very unsafe and unsure in the current circumstances. I think they Prime Minister talked about some kind of light at the end of the tunnel, a pastor coming through the channel, we are at the start of the process. Jack, what did you think it is his Performance Today . He was a bit breathless today, at times. Yeah, its not surprising if you consider what hes been through. Its amazing how quickly hes back at work. To be honest with you, considering it was only two and how, three weeks ago he was in intensive ca re three weeks ago he was in intensive care and we were seriously worried about his future. I thought his speech was, it wasnt with the tory mp certainly want to hear they were hoping he would maybe start to say that next week is good to be the day when we start to lift the lockdown measures. Pretty clear from what he
said thats not to be happening. It looks like were going to be an lockdown through most of may as well. And thats not what his party wants to hear. But it is actually what most of the country wants to hear. Opinion poll after opinion poll shows that people fully support this lockdown. They understand why the government feels its necessary. I think thats an involving the Prime Minister to stick to his guns iiow. Prime minister to stick to his guns now. And when he talked about the success of this operation so far yes, in terms of hospital but not in terms of care homes. To think perhaps potentially he shouldve concentrated more on what had gone wrong there . I dont think theres any doubt that they took the wrath ca re any doubt that they took the wrath care how far do not care homes you can understand why look to those images coming out of new northern italy back when the virus struck here there was huge pressure on the government to make sure that we can see our hospitals overwhelmed. And
its huge that theyve managed to avoid that. But it would seem that it is certain terms of the ppe and the testing wasnt got to the care homes quick enough and the fear is that people are really paying the price now. Actually, when you look at it half of the intensive care beds with ventilator are not occupied now. They have protected the nhs very much so. Helen, lets move the nhs very much so. Helen, lets m ove o nto the nhs very much so. Helen, lets move onto issue of facemasks was not Prime MinisterBoris Johnson move onto issue of facemasks was not Prime Minister borisjohnson say yes, coverings might be useful. This seems to have gone whats gone against what was there before. This was picked up in the eye as well. I think even on the eight hand out given yesterday said Something Different in terms of the medical advice. The Prime Minister was talking about face mask in terms of giving people confidence to go back to work. I think that may be right as long as it ought false competence. From everything weve been hearing so far Face Coverings might stop you infecting someone
else but they wont necessarily prevent you from being infected. Thats been one of the arguments all along. As so far not using facemask. And we would want people to have too much confidence about the production theyre getting from it. So there has to be a balance in this. I think one of the challenges facing the government will be persuading people that it government will be persuading people thatitis government will be persuading people that it is safe to go back to work. So, the lockdown, i think its been more successful than they anticipated in their martin modeling. They only anticipated three quarters of the population adhering to the lockdown and actually its gone much further than that. So these measures to bring about that confidence, i think thats the thinking behind his statement today. Yeah. Although a lot of been doing that fines have been pending. And that is fair is the weather improves more people might come out and risk breaking that lockdown. Lets move on to the telegraph because the story about the task. The main right obviously
is about what the Prime Minister had to say about the road map out of the lockdown. Matt hancock confident he will hit 100,000 test target. And actually, despite most people saying he was miles away from it. As the paper points out he is much closer to the finish line and people had anticipated. Thats right. Will get the results confirmed tomorrow afternoon at the press conference tomorrow. Whats clear is that, whether he precisely hit it or not hes more or less got there. If it increases again of the final 25 hours which of course it will, hes pretty much there. If you think of where we were a few weeks ago. That isa fine where we were a few weeks ago. That is a fine achievement. I do think the sort of, precisely did we get 92000 and 95,000100,000 on a particular day, i mean its important that the governments try to keep their promises but its a bit of nonsense when you think about
the situation. It doesnt make any difference if youre precisely at the target. It the point is the government has ramped up testing and apparently very successfully. The bigger concern to me regardless of whether hit the target are not is why its taken so long to get this to this point was up if you look at other countries they were much better prepared from this time of a viral pandemic right at the start they were able to read about their testing a bit a lady immediately. And they were able to keep track of the virus in those crucial early weeks as its right around the country. We we rent weeks as its right around the country. We werent able to do that here and its taken at this long to get to this point. And im afraid thats why our death tolls were so high. And why bring this very severe state of lockdown. And the tracing is another huge issue which is gotta be tackled as well. Interesting also that the nhs is saying that they need energies orders to be tested every week. And thats going to involve up to 120,000 test today. Yeah. This is by no means the end of the ramp up, thats for sure. But as
you say, the key is really what you do with those tests. Are you able to isolate, are you able to Contact Trace . And have that whole infrastructure around the tracing. Today patrick balance was clear, that they need their system in place but it works when there are fewer cases occurring. So his view seems to be it wouldve been impossible to have that system in place during the peak of the virus. Yeah, okay. Now the financial consequences we have been reading about the last few weeks, with got terrible figures coming out of the states in terms of gdp. Youre going into recession. But the ft pointing out how well us stocks are doing. Is this complete disconnect between the real economy and the stock market, jack . Disconnect between the real economy and the stock market, jack . Yeah, i think people are involved in finance are rubbing their eyes in
