Worrying that the Germans are going with the other option. In fact we look like we’re going to repeat the mistake we made with testing by trying to centralize everything
Crazy decision to not take apple or Googles option and to go alone. Google have a ridiculous amount of resources to make something like that successful. The NHS's record of system development is beyond appaling.

Stories such as this do not really help.
Which firms are you thinking of?I believe we are already in the next phase, unofficially..........the government recently told firms that shut, that they never told them the had to shut, this giving them the green light to open.

Off the top of my head, McDonald’s, B&Q, Greggs etc.
All shut and have now reopened with the health secretary saying that they were never told they had to shut, I believe that is the first tentative unofficial start to lifting the restrictions, with more stores open it obviously creates more people movement and the government will be watching how the increased footfall affects the infection rate.
They weren't told to shut! 2 provide a takeaway food service, the other provide materials for construction. Plenty of similar businesses remained open in the first place.Off the top of my head, McDonald’s, B&Q, Greggs etc. All shut and have now reopened with the health secretary saying that they were never told they had to shut
While I don't disagree with your principle that the government might be happy for a few places to open, the ones you've mentioned were definitely not told to shut in the first place.I believe that is the first tentative unofficial start to lifting the restrictions, with more stores open it obviously creates more people movement and the government will be watching how the increased footfall affects the infection rate.

Bad news on the BBC this morning about the German infection rate...... Doesn't bode well for those who hoped lockdown would be eased drastically next week....
Last week, Germany was optimistic it was on the path out of lockdown. And a handful of measures were lifted, with small shops allowed to reopen and some students returning to class.
But on Tuesday, officials warned the infection rate was increasing - and was now at 1 again.
This means 10 infected people will infect another 10 people. Last week, the rate had dropped to 0.7, meaning ten infected would pass the virus to only seven people.
In order to beat the pandemic, the infection rate has to be below 1.
In the past day, Germany recorded 1,144 new infections and 163 new deaths.

To be fair McD's and Greggs weren't told.to shut - they are classified as takeaways and have been able to operate, albiet at a reduced service all the time. They chose to shutdown. Likewise B&Q didn't have to close - home hardware stores were on the list of retailers allowed to.remain open.
...and McDonald's hasn't reopened anyway

It's not, because when you said this:Sorry I may be missing something but that’s exactly what I’ve said ?
you give the impression that they've just been given a green light to open. They've always had the green light. And you're saying that restrictions are being lifted, while at the same time saying those restrictions were never there in the first place.I believe we are already in the next phase, unofficially..........the government recently told firms that shut, that they never told them the had to shut, this giving them the green light to open.
We are currently in the very early stage of lifting of restrictions
