will be vll be: w—uur li‘ui‘ii out and people will be behind that quite early. health care people were worried about the wobbly aspects of the app and the security as kate mentioned but it will be interesting to see if it can hold the number of cases in the isle of wight. it is a small community and is very different from the rest of the uk. older people are majority of the public there. but hopefully it can be rolled up —— rolled out and people like me will actually be able to go to supermarkets for once. let us to go to supermarkets for once. let us look at their son newspaper. the headline, it is a gap year. —— the son newspaper. they have been told that social distancing might be in place up to a year, it is important to reiterate we do not know what the
10:46 pm
social distancing will look like. no, absolutely. we have only been in the situation for almost a month and already you can see industry figures and big companies like nick tournaments and takeaway outlets move into reopening again because the government had not specifically told them to close down. —— like mcdonald's. people are still going to work, 49% of people who work are able to work from home but that might change. for most people at home, it will not feel like a gap year because they are still working but it will be a very very different year and but it will be a very very different yearand a but it will be a very very different year and a very uncertain period ahead of us but industry figures it is not business as usual. they will have to look at how they can make profit and how they can protect
10:47 pm
their workers because that is the most important thing is life should be more important than profits. let us be more important than profits. let us talk about the boss of heathrow and his comments, how can mrs distance at airports? that would mean queues, matters long. it will not be possible in some areas to socially just and safely over not be possible in some areas to sociallyjust and safely over the next 12 months? there are leaked documents which relate directly to the story about plans the government is trying to work about how certain businesses could go back to work. there is some acknowledgements that it will not be possible in some areas to properly social distance. people in heathrow queueing up to get on a plane will be one of them. they are talking about what they can be bringing in, shields and desks, staggering when people come to work,
10:48 pm
all sorts of options but you're starting to see attention between, industry, the unions and government. it is already known that there will bea it is already known that there will be a blame game in the future. if someone comes be a blame game in the future. if someone comes back to work and tragically gets covid—19. what if businesses don't employ their —— protect their employees or is that the government not protecting people? people are putting their health at risk every day stacking shelves in supermarkets, collecting bends, keeping society going. it is not a gap year in the positive sense, not a gap year in the positive sense , you can not a gap year in the positive sense, you can understand a lot of students putting off starting university this year but a lot of people will still be working. either working at home where there are some frustrations, people on their own is struggling with lockdown and of course there are people losing their jobs so it is not a gap year, it is
10:49 pm
a very uncertain time and it could prove very difficult for some people. i want to move to the japan times. the state of emergency has been extended until the end ofjuly but there will be some restrictions lifted because the japanese economy has been hit hard. yes, they have, they have already talked about something we have not talked about which is the possibility of a second way. they were preparing to ease their lockdown spot they had extended them to the end of the month because they are concerned about it coming back. he did the uk, we are talking about passing the p —— passing the peak and we can step outside our doors but injapan they are thinking, what if the virus comes back? but the global economy
10:50 pm
has been hit so badly, of u—shaped recovery, the recovery could be very quick as well but it is very difficult to exit lockdown and a way that allows us to return to normality which means a lot of businesses will be struggling to be able to deliver. that could suggest this very sharp recovery will take much longer than expected if we have to keep going into partial bits of lockdown and certain businesses like travel, hospitality, retail and lockdown and certain businesses like travel, hospitality, retailand the dining sector are not able to open as normal. a similar kind of front page for singapore, the minister warning that this is not a sprint but a marathon. that is the message a lot of governments around the world to try to get their people, this is not going to be a short—term
10:51 pm
solution unfortunately. absolutely. it is really crucial that at this moment we are doing what we do on paper, look at what other countries are doing and work out how to take a cue for best practice from then. picking can look at korea, italy as they are ahead of us. iodine with heat, we have a big worry which is there will almost certainly be a second wave of infection. every time i hear the government say we are past the peak, you worry about a second with. you have to look at other countries, what they're doing in terms of health and also their economy. most people at home do want to be at home, they want to be at work and taking their children to the park again there is long as they want. everybody is desperate to get
10:52 pm
back to normality butter. governments around the world to say to their communities that this will bea to their communities that this will be a long, long journey and that we have to think about rather than short—term measures and short—term help for the economy, we have to think about staggering this so we can still manage to keep in touch without friends, neighbours and family but also managed to stop a number of deaths and stop it from happening again. the daily meal p3, argent probe into the obesity linked to covered deaths. —— daily mail, argent probe. so many adults are clinically obese. we see a growing amount of research saying that
10:53 pm
obesity has a more severe reaction to covid—19. the immune system, if you are obese, is tired out so there are reasons for it that this proposes a lot of ethical quandaries. any findings that we may get about how biological kneecap, the state of one's health body kit impact on your reaction to covid—19. there have been whispers of an immunity passport, depending on the state of your health you can get more access to the outside world. i think we have to be very careful about that because if you start creating sections of people that have more access to the world, you will leave other people behind. it is those most vulnerable when italy tip at the front of our mind in this crisis. the reason we are unlocked
10:54 pm
and primarily, yes it's for our own health but it is about protecting the health of strangers who might be more susceptible to the disease. we have to tread carefully but accept that all the data we get might help protect all those who are more vulnerable as well. the article talks about obesity, ethnicity and gender, these are all factors about how ill you follow with the virus and they need to be looked at? absolutely. what we have seen with covid—19 seems to map with existing health inequalities. we have seen a massive problem that there has been a massive disproportionate number of bame deaths with covid—19, reflecting that people from black and ethnic minority communities tend to be purer and in poor health.
10:55 pm
there are also of health inequalities leading into that. you are more likely to have health problems if your working class, you are from an ethnic minority or you are from an ethnic minority or you are poor. existing health inequalities have been exacerbated by covid—19. the idea of a means passport creates an divided society. people are already facing inequality and are finding they are facing... so yes, we do have to trade carefully. thank you to both of you for your company. we will be back with you in one hour to do some more paper work. thank you for your company as well. goodbye for now.
