Is the furlough scheme's extension an indicator as to when lockdown will end?

I see Dishy Rishi extended the furlough scheme by an extra month, meaning it will now finish at the end of June.
You'd have to think the lockdown plan, if that exists, is working to a similar schedule.

Seems like a good current bet....but things can change....he is maybe going 1 month at a time so as not to cause worry....like if he extended to December what would you think?
Wonder if same applies to the self employed help? The "grants" for SME businesses? |

Well don't forget the 1.4 million people who received notification to shield themselves for 12 weeks from 23rd March. That takes them to nearly the end of June and so it definitely is there for many of them anyway |

I would interpret it as a signal that it will go on until at least the end of June. But i wouldn't be booking foreign holidays for this July. Or next July.
IMHO there are two possibilities. Either the government realises that this will be going on at least another ten weeks, but have no idea how much longer. Or they know full well that it will be a damn sight longer than ten weeks to approach even a limited type of normality, but dare not tell the people. |

I'd say June at the very least.
Although how many company's can stay closed for that time period and still be a viable business, it's very hard to not see many folk not have a job after the furlough, especially if the government system ends and there is still no work for an employee.
The simple anwser is... Nobody knows, but we all have an opinon. |

no... its technical.....
the original scheme was due to end on 31st may...
any business employing over 50 people have to give by law 45 days notice with intention to lay off people if the scheme is no longer in place...
the 45 day period if the intention was to make people unemployed would technically have been today....
so them pushing it back 30 days basically gives them another month of all the current rules being in place before companies have to go thru that cycle |

"There is no short term fix to this. Some very nieve yet optimistic comments. There are going to be relaxation to current lockdown rule but very mild. Then there will be more lockdowns ect ect. "
Just because somebody thinks differently to you it doesn't make them naive. A bunch of random people speculating on a Swingers forum who have absolutely no idea between them what the government are actually going to do. People talk as if their opinion is fact then slag off others for thinking differently   |

Please dont take offence, it wasn't ment to be offensive.
It very nieve to think there wont be no restrictions after june. Its just not going to happen due to how contagious this virus is.
The only way to eradicate it is via a vaccine or to let it run its course where it infects the majority of the planet and it either kills you or it eventually wont have anywhere to go, just like the Spanish flu did. |

I'd say it's of no bearing at all. Even if the lockdown was eased tomorrow there will be plenty of people who won't be able to go back to work for a while such as bar and restaurant staff. They'll still need to be provided whilst others can get back to work. |

I wouldn't read anything in to it, as they won't make it easy to guess or plan for, for themselves. They've got fairly poor plans in place, it appears. The future is also fairly hard to predict here, it's an unknown virus, its infection and fatality rate is still uncertain.
We've got trials around the world on meds that may reduce symptom severity and morbidity. And Johnson isn't around, to help them to decide what to do.
Just as I'm assuming that I have not had the virus, I'm assuming that the government doesn't probably have an effective plan for how we proceed from here until after it's no longer any problem. I'll then take each day as it comes, with safety optimised and prepared for surprises. |

Very wise. Each day as it comes, not much more we can do. |
