I’m an American, and would love to see what these things actually look like in the wild. How are these being used? They look so cartoonishly dystopian.

The “brand” is relatively recent and is most frequently seen on the lecterns of the PM’s daily briefing.
Early without hazard tape
Then it appears while Boris is in hospital
Then it turns green as the stay home advice becomes stay alert ambiguous nonsense.
The green does not relate to the Covidmeter colour of the state of alert.

I think that more accurately represents a two-week warning of another peak. :disappointed_relieved:
