public transport. when that doesn't happen it has implications for the economy. they have been lots of chatter over the last couple of days about this big campaign that was going to be launched, even some people suggesting that this whole threat was going to be held over the head of office workers if they didn't go back to work in there will face the sack and there was going to bea face the sack and there was going to be a public information campaign urging people to get back to work. the issue here has been the government owned guidelines in terms of social distancing which was reduced to one metre some time ago although we are actually nuance around that messaging is that to me this is still possible, it makes it difficult to get all your members of staff back to work and even the newspaper offices although we are very keen to go back to me can sometimes be difficult given the social distancing measures that aborted been introduced. and i think borisjohnson is very keen to see why he will eat on the front of this issue and has found that even that

issue and has found that even that is difficult. so very much this campaign that was due to start this week has been delayed and there is now concerned about what that impact will have on the economy. before the reasons i explained in terms of the impact on the city and the people spending power. what is shared reading of this? is the message confusing or are we to simply, the initial message of stay—at—home, are we adhering to that too much or too well? what is your reading?” we adhering to that too much or too well? what is your reading? i think there are two things going on. the first one is that a lot of people don't feel safe enough to go back to work. that has to do with partly the miscommunication from the government, they don't know what they are supposed to be doing or are allowed to do. and the other reason is people are still concerning the virus is not yet adequately under control for them to feel safe enough to go out. everything to a point made a while ago by the american economist unless you control the virus, there is no way of really consoling these economic problems. that has to be the number one issue.
10:47 pm
then the other issue of our people going to go back to the normal going to work 95, monday to friday in office when the crisis is over. widespread acceptance now amongst many companies they will save money and boost productivity by allowing their workers to work from home a few days a week. for some reason, i don't exactly know why the government is not happy about this idea that people will not be working from home more. and the issue potentially around people not using the high street shops and those sorts of things when they go to offices. there are plenty of ways to deal with that and ultimately the government should be concerned about his productivity, which is been very low for many years now and this is potentially the way businesses think they might be able to boost that. let's turn away from coronavirus but we will stay with the paper some of the daily telegraph. a picture of harry and meghan markle. they have
