Agreed, shame. guidelines were far too ambiguous.
Look like what....matching your shoes with your bike grips
Got an Hybrid bike here but I'll be honest it would be easier driving to the camp site.
Funny, I just saw a cyclist, no, I mean a world where public transport is not viable because of the difficulties of social distancing, which will result in traffic congestion being even worse than pre covid19, and few options for many except to cycle or walk to work.
We can now travel around the country as much as we want, spend hours with total strangers providing we are 2m apart, schools might reopen soon, along with some shops, yet the most important part of most peoples lives wasn't even mentioned. Seeing our families 
The Scottish gov....have just moved Hadrian’s wall and setup passport control ...something to do with.. Stay at home....it did seam a good idea once, simply it meant that ..stay at home....but now...Boris is making a lot of assumptions that people won’t take the ,,,,,,
umm totally confused how it’s going to work

Me too, strange
Interesting times, I think that we are one step on from where we were. ‘Stay Alert’ to me means ‘continue as we have been, enjoy the little bit of extra flexibility but stay vigilant to the risks’. Nothing’s changed for my family as of today. The move in messaging works for me - the needs of the press to insert ambiguity does not. Just my 2 cents.
Dominic Raab has just just announced you can go and visit both parents, so long as your 2m apart and outside.
Boris speech was piss poor in my opinion. Very, very weak, no clear guidance at all.

Boris looked shattered, probably by the enormity of the present situation but also worth remembering that unlike most on here he did actually go full Covid 19 and spend time in intensive care.
Did you think he was going to sit there and read out word for word the 50 page report being issued on phase 1 of easing the lockdown....?!
People glaze over after a few minutes and switch off let alone the hour or so it would take to go through every detail... It was meant to be brief and give just initial guidelines with, as he said full report to follow...
What do people expect ffs.....
Agree, but sadly many will not listen regardless of the policy in place, common sense doesn’t play a part for many.
So, the original question posted by @Tourershine was "How does a post Covid-19 world look?" Well, I think the answer is pretty simple. Once it's all over and a Vaccination is developed it'll eventually go back to how it was. There is evidence of this already, as proven by the reaction to last nights speech form Boris.
As @czmate1999 has said:
That's the most accurate representation I've seen anywhere so far of what was said in the speech, but people have their own agendas. The opposition leader has to criticise, because he's the opposition. The media outlets, including the major news channels, have to pick holes in everything, concentrate on the ambiguity and create more of it, to enable them to fill their programme times, newspaper columns, twitter feeds etc.
It's a shame they didn't just reinforce the message. It all made sense to me. The longer term strategy depends on how the numbers go up or down as we move forward, of course it does, it would be bonkers to suggest otherwise. There can be no concrete, long term plan until time tells us what exactly will happen next. People can theorise all they like, they've got an agenda to do so, as I've already said above.
Anyway, back to the original question. Sadly, despite it perhaps seeming otherwise for a while, the world will eventually go back to how it was. Man's greed and the pursuit of financial riches will come before everything else. Cars will fill the roads, planes will fill the sky, people will fill public transport, more and more money will be made, we will continue to overpopulate this planet and drain it's resources until there simply isn't enough of anything left to support us. Governments will make token gestures to win votes and convince people that they are committed to solving the real big issues that our kind face, but they won't actually do enough to prevent our fate. Then, when it's already too late, we'll either kill ourselves fighting over what little this world has left to give us, or, another virus, but a really deadly one, will just wipe us out. Hopefully whatever life form sits top of the tree after us will take better care of what might be left of this planet once we're gone. Hopefully that'll be after my lifetime, and hopefully after that of my kids. Their generation seem to better understand the care that we need to take, but I think it's too late for them to be able to do anything about it.
The first half of this year and the destruction this virus has caused in so many ways, should have taught us as a species some lessons, but it won't be long until they are forgotten.
