Coronavirus: PM's statement prompts questions and gives some answers
More time in the fresh air for exercise everywhere this week, and a timetable of a sort from Boris Johnson for an achingly gradual return to a recognisable life.
But importantly there will be on NO change for the many people who are more vulnerable to the disease who are therefore 'shielding'.But progress beyond the next few days is a series of big ifs. The ambition is to start bringing back some primary school years from the start of June, but it depends how the outbreak progresses.
The difficult reality for the government though, and for the public trying to understand what these next phases of the pandemic look like, is that different parts of our social life, different parts of the public sector, and different parts of the economy have to move at different paces because there are different levels of risk.But despite the prime minister's lengthy address there are as many questions raised as answered.
