Boris Johnson is expected to announce the alert system when he addresses the country on Sunday
The system will rank the threat level from coronavirus on a scale of one to five and be adjusted according to data. He is not expected to provide dates for when the restrictions - first announced on 23 March - might change. It is understood the system will be similar to the one used to keep the public informed about the terror threat level and Mr Johnson is expected to say England is currently at stage four but moving towards stage three.
And in that case keep your English yoons out if Scotland
Thought the government said it was going to stamp down on leaks and sack anyone who leaked. Well doing a good job at that aren’t they.
Sorry to be crass what the hell stay alert its 30 thounsand too late does he think we are all too stupid and not doing what we are supposed to be doing for the last 6 weeks!!!
BBCPolitics Wot for him and his cabinet?
bbclaurak bbclaura by journalists pressing ministers on easing the lockdown, politicians have said things they probably shouldn't have. Surely, surely journalists like yourself need to take responsibility for overstepping by un-necessaarily pressurising on something so critical.
bbclaurak If UK still hold average 600+ dead tolls. It will difficult to avoid 2nd wave. Look How this country do despite threatene by CHINA and 2hrs flight distance.Still Only 6 dead with 23 m people. Ccontrast UK66 m suppose 20 dead only See New York time report
Johnson is making a massive mistake. He is living up to his reputation of negligence indifference and being a complete prick.
Shouldn’t this have been the advice at the beginning and not half way through this pandemic, talk about missing the boat
bbclaurak 🤯🤬😡 Gimmicks, slogans & massaging his own public image. He is underlining the fact that he is totally & utterly useless, has absolutely no idea about what to do & is clueless about how to help the nations. He’s a performing clown & an embarrassment to his position. 🤬😡 Cretin
There you go again BBC pre-empting what Boris will say, you claim he is expected to therefore you don't know, the media in this pandemic have caused so much confusion with people, Andrew Marr this morning there isn't a second app, they'll work with the one they have
UK to launch Cummings alert system. Would drastically reduce infections and deaths across hospitals, care system and community.
BBCPolitics it doesnt make any sense! stayhome was clear and unambiguous. StayAlert means nothing and how on earth do any of us ControlTheVirus ? send it on a training course? lock it up?
Or, to be more precise - continue in headless-chicken mode! Rather than be honest and efficient, all the Tories can do is come up with stunts, or exploit the good nature of other people; being incapable of having ‘a good nature’ of their own!
bbclaurak Rejoice we are getting a new slogan!!!! Well solves everything at a stroke
bbclaurak We need a Boris Johnson alert system.
Why is Boris bothering to talk tonight when the media seem to be telling us now?
steve_hawkes
bbclaurak WONDERFUL! Boris and Laura K are pleased to announce that there is not enough chaos, there are still not enough dead bodies! SO from today, DO WHATEVER YOU LIKE FOLKS! Have a bit of fun on your way to the Crem! Jolly Japes and Dunkirk Spirit!
BBCPolitics WFor all those critical of the UK government’s response to COVID-19, with a little simple arithmetic - adjusting for population, you will see that Wales, with it’s Labour government, is only slightly better than the UK as a whole.
Unless it has the ability to time travel it's about 2 months too late
BBCPolitics When will Chinese cough up money to compensate the world for giving us caronavirus
So now the blame is being shifted to the ppl! If you don't stay alert you, the ppl, are to blame because the next slogan will be 'we told you so, you didn't listen'....'passing the buck' comes to mind!!!!
bbclaurak Will there be a siren alert when the wee buggers are out in force, Kuenssberg?
We will fight it on the ground we will fight it in the air we will fight it on the beaches lol
BBCPolitics Stay alert, the virus may want to mug you. Pathetic ☹️😎
BBCPolitics BorisJohnson what we need is strong 💪 leadership with clear and concise communication. What we have is weakness and confusing 🧇 waffle. Get the leaders and communicators back into cabinet.
He’s not worth listening to - just a bag of hot air . Lockdown needed until this is under control
Time for parliament to go back
If Government effort spent devising new slogans was equalled with action on testing, tracking and quarantine we’d all be in a better place!! WorstPMever bbcqt BBCPolitics BBCBreakfast
This system would require testing, alot of testing...its not going to work.
How utterly ridiculous.
Britain has been secretly flying tens of thousands of coronavirus tests to America as it struggles to lift the daily testing rate over 100,000 a day in the UK. Incredible incompetence of our government is for all to see! 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤡🤡🤡🤯🤯🤯
This is just crazy! UK 'flying tens of thousands of coronavirus tests to US due to lab problems'
Wise after the event...
That doesn’t sound like a roadmap
The UK has wasted far too much time, forget your pride and start following the playbook of the East. Far too many people have been sacrificed due to your inability to act. We should all wear masks, in the long run this will reduce the numbers being infected and ease NHS demand.
Seriously!!! We do not need a terrorist alert system, what we need is the government to act on the solution and not waste more time reviewing what has been proven in other countries. You have the play book, Testing, Contract Tracing, Re-Testing ...
Why is the useless lump talking to the Sun on Sunday before parliament?
So the world doesn't welcome the MPG5 the future generations will see the same crisis within nation's. Master Person in G5 ( MPG5) from penguin in finisher lab no complains .
The new system about to be introduced by PM is vital to keep every Briton abreast of every happening around the virus as the country earnestly works towards leaving this uncharted territory. Having the coronavirus alert system decentralised should uniquely spur devolved admins.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Stay home, Stay safe and dont be conned snymore
Man's shambles , resign
Two months too late
Him and his government are horrible people.
BBCPolitics Who is going to ‘man’ it?
bbclaurak He already had one. It’s the WHO. He chose to ignore it.
bbclaurak What are the Tories cooking up under the table while all this is going on
5 = Mega lie alert - Statutory arrest of all protestors 4 = Super Major lie alert - Complete lockdown 3 = Major lie alert - Partial lockdown 2 = Moderate lie alert - Social distancing, with mask 1 = Lesser lie alert - Minimal social distancing, no mask
I bet you someone sold him a box with five buttons on and told him of the system A bit like Turkish PPE
bbclaurak 31,587
So what emotional state should we be in for each of these alert levels?
bbclaurak Why do the BBC continue to act as willing buffer between Boris Johnson and any direct accountability for his dangerous, irresponsible actions? By serving as a government mouthpiece like this you're setting the scene for him to just blame 'the media' when this all goes Pete Tong
BBCPolitics When they say 'Be alert' they mean if you get sick with the virus it's your fault, nothing to do with the government.
bbclaurak 'There's a special place in hell' for those who purposely lie and cause the death of tens of thousands of innocent vulnerable people.
Pseudo system for deflection. If you think an ‘alert system’ means they know what they’re doing give your head a shake. Marr Ridge
bbclaurak Traffic light alert system, really is that all our gov could come up with..
Be alert. Your country needs Lerts.
How crp this country is at this covid-19 lark.
Wtaf
Another 👹🙄👹
It's a poor and inadequate substitute for mass testing.
Waste of time and resources. A fecking app isnt going to save lives. Put the time into finding and creating a vaccine. There is approximately 68million people in Great Britain. A big spike like what happend with the spanish flu and we are all gone. Think about that.
He's not exactly the man to be trusted tho is he, I'm hardly going to give any personal details, he'd probably lose them down the sofa, looks like he'd have trouble making his own breakfast, sorry boris oh great one
He'd have saved many more lives if he'd stayed home. Please remember his party at the ballot box. Boris will be gone before then, Raab or Gove will stab him in the back like the weasels they are. They'll take the Tories to the next election & get defeated.
Whatever.
ALERT: We haven't got any PPE.
Utter tripe. So I checked this thing the BBC has going about the infection & death count, and it was all over the shop. There's NOT ONE confirmed case in my area, as told to me by an ambulance driver a week and a half a go.
In Kandahar unit 3 commender Atiqullah Safy has killed Pashton Jabar. We want Justice for Pashton Jabar. How is the supporter of the mentioned killer USAmbKabul UKinAfghanistan or ARG_AFG ? Afghan government told in parlemen that Jabar was innocent. AfghanistanIHRC
What that take he’s head of he’s ar.......
bbclaurak Johnson still doesn't look well,should he even be back at work?
bbclaurak If PM has not said anything formally yet everything remains the same. Media should not compete among each other by releasing any gossiping. I know first attitude really does not help.
Let's hope they roll it out to his.cabinet first.
Is it me or is this government just rolling out one gimmick after another. The phone app, e-scooters, now this. All things that are just crap distractions from the amount of people that are dying.
and there still carrying on like this after whitty sayin this endthelockdownuk all im saying
bbclaurak Yeah, that’ll help. Don’t let Patel near those numbers tho 😬
bbclaurak Who told you?
bbclaurak Are you mocking Johnson? Is Johnson mocking us? You can't just retweet this.
bbclaurak Does PM Johnson always need a lot of pre-release of his statements by trusted journalists as he waffles so much askingforafriend
bbclaurak If we see the virus do we shout “VIRUS” like they shout “SHARK” in jaws? or are they having lifeguards out in big chairs on the streets?
Boris is going to aye? Personally?
The weekend the Government lost control. If as likely looking at the pictures of people out and about today the deaths begin to rise how are they going to initiate a future lockdown. This weekend we all have the lights on with the curtains open to continue the wartime allegory
Is this leaking on an enormous red herring scale? . . . or just a fairy tale? plot and counter counter plot or just a lie?
Boris’s Alert system 1. It ain’t going to happen 2. It is happening but we are prepared. 3. Oh shit. 4. Oh shit, shit. 5. Run for the hills folks.
And this 👇
We don’t call them alert systems in Australia. Our Prime Minister, Scott Morrison called it “3 steps”. He and the medical officer and other authorities said we’d be crossing a bridge. I’m not sure is 3 steps is crossing the bridge or not.
bbclaurak
bbclaurak All the scientific research and expertise boiled down to a number between 1-5 that will be as meaningless as the terror threat level.
Ah the bbc doing the job that Boris should be doing or might do who knows at this point.
bbclaurak
Thats Cummings mates app who has SFA experience - what cld possibility go wrong?
What happened to the ‘roadmap’?
bbclaurak Does it involve being the only country ON EARTH still not checking or quarantining those arriving from abroad. NOW you Brexity fuckwits want freedom of movement?!
And he can stick that up his arss covid 19 I going to the beach
Welcome to the new world ...
Everything is speculation
Its already here.
bbclaurak
Coronavirus is 125 BILLIONTHS of a metre in diameter ... so yes, stay alert ;)
bbclaurak We don't need an alert system to be warned Johnson and his excuse for a Cabinet haven't got a fuckin clue.
bbclaurak I think he just isn't cut out for it
Apologies, but this feels hugely underwhelming - surely it's already done daily by those monitoring infection rates. Is it just that they will now tell us lot? Cummings been given felt tips for his birthday and a map of the UK? COVIDIOTS coronavirus
bbclaurak This is just going to lead to confusion and will cost lives. This whole strategy feels like it’s turning into a disaster after the public have previously been so willing and onboard.
If we are 4 god knows what 5 looks like.
Can he not just launch himself into space, preferably strapped to a Trident missile
BBCPolitics YOU FLOGGED MESSAGE ON THURSDAY LOCKDOWN TO BE RELAXED! YOU REPORTED ON WRECKLESS VEDAY CELEBRATIONS!! YOU HAVE NOT HELD THIS DREADFUL GOVERNMENT TO ACCOUNT YOU HAVE ABANDONED YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES!!! DISGRACE!!
bbclaurak Definitly getting irritating that the media are telling us what will be said and pushing politicians to reveal before they’re ready.
BBCPolitics Is it just me or does this the result of the bit in the thick of it when they are in the back of the car trying to come up with something to announce at the press conference because they are massive fuckups and can’t say what the originally called the press conference for....
The MSM and much more summed up here:
bbclaurak Glad you know what’s going on? Can you let teachers and schools know please?
He's such a c*nt isn't he.
How do you know, he hasn't announced anything yet
Sorry, but I wouldn’t trust him to launch a fart.
About 2 months too late
Isn’t it a little bit too late. This should have been done at the end of Feb. Not after 31500 deaths.
Please
BorisJohnson don’t lift the lockdown in anyway. We are still losing too many lives and risking our nhs and economy. Mandate mask wearing as we can’t just turn a blind eye to increasing evidence in other counties which are already back up on their feet
Whoever voted for this clown and shower of charlatans need to hang their heads in shame! You were duped and forewarned!
Stop speculating. You’re muddying the waters. Do better, BBC.
You are as bad as Sky how do you know what the Prime Minister is going to say stop scare mongering the public and wait to hear the truth tomorrow
He had a rough ride. He looks terrible.
Is there no secret brief of his you won't publish?
BBCPolitics
Stage 4 moving to stage 3 so go out if you want, you decide the risk. We'll still not meet testing targets so never know the true amount of infected in your community.
End this farce now. End TV licence NOW!!!
BBCPolitics This changes everything. Letting us know what number we are at gives us all the tools to beat the virus. Apart from the effective track and trace capabilities.
BBCPolitics And bang on cue the knobheads have tweeted.
This is really going to help? Boris, you've lost it, people want to know how we're going to get out of this not how bad some statician's model thinks things are. This is everyday reality for most, not ivory tower politics.
BBCPolitics If the labour party didn't sabotage the Brexit against the will of the British people and tried to mess it up!the country would have more time to be prepared for the corona virus! but instead we had government that is landing on the ground running! bravo labour!! its your fault!
Another thing they're going to launch....3 months fucking late.
It's late saturday night and you're releasing this news now?
Btw. Does anyone know a single person who has had an actual confirmed case of this mysterious disease? Globalists trolls, need not reply.
Oh goody... I'll go to bed with the app and wake up that I've been near 6 people with covid-19.... just like the trials in Isle of wight are going 🤣
My daughter said the problem is the government don't trust the public because the public don't trust the government can't argue with that
what level of alert do you think something should be that is having the same effect as 3 commercial plane crashes every day for 6 weeks ... do we we need a score, i think the death toll is enough of a measure..
This is not clear messaging. It is actually dangerous and risking more people’s lives and health. The government should be ensuring the population know the risks, know they are still present and how to mitigate.
