I must challenge you strongly on the "we're all in it together" endorsement Saint Charles Owl. I'd say most of the population are indeed "all in it together" with lotsa community help groups etc being created but there is that privileged proportion of our population, and others, who will be given preferential treatment as usual although I do agree that this virus undoubtedly doesn't discriminate between a very wealthy privileged individual or a poor person. The "all" word that is being bandied out in this soundbite is a tad inaccurate TBF!! The Westminster govt is not embracing every worker!! The employed must pin their hopes on fairness and efficiency from a govt that has been castigated by the UN special rapporteur on extreme poverty for the "harsh and uncaring ethos" of existing support systems such as Universal credit. The self-employed were abandoned up to today and gig economy workers are currently broke. And many folk watching and listening to Johnson's mitigating statements are not workers at all - they are claimants, disabled people, students and pensioners - CITIZENS in short!! Does the long, generous embrace of Johnson reach them???? Or have we all just swallowed the notion that non-workers are second-class citizens??? I could go on re other issues such as parking is free for everyone attending hospital - it is not true!! Re the Prince Charles position, firstly he broke the CMO advice not to travel and travelled to Balmoral anyway. Then he was found to have contracted the virus and was seemingly allowed to "leapfrog" MOPs and desperate doctors to be tested positive!!! 
This criticism has actually been "chased up" for clarification by the Scottish Medical Officer, Catherine Calderwood, and she endorsed the action to test as being correct based on undisclosed private personal details that covered both individuals but she didn't cover the morality of this type of queue-jumping!!. Her response followed a huge outcry from lotsa people, incl medical coordinators, who perceived a difference in protocol compared with other punters who experience similar minor symptoms and duly follow the self-isolation advice. The words "fob off" come to mind but lets hope that an honest explanation was given and we move on. Anyway, there are "bigger fish to fry" at the moment as we approach the point of the predicted escalation in infections. I pray that it is not as significant as expected as many deaths will consequently be attached to this anticipated "surge".
