Can also confirm, they’re looking for volunteers to help run the tests.

427 dead in Italy today. More in Italy than China now. 5322 new cases as well by far highest increase in a 24 hour period. It's gathering even more pace than before... Hell fire!

My brother's in-laws (wife's sister and her husband) live in Milan and it appears they both have it now, they are in their 40's, hope for full recovery. My brother's mother-in-law is in Milan as well, but appears she is okay at this time.

It's bloody scary to think that it might be us in a couple of weeks time. Hopefully the measures they are introducing and the lessons from Italy mean we don't get that bad.

Got to say most impressed with the Neville brothers gesture 2 hotels fully staffed to house N.H.S. so they do not have to risk spreading virus by returning home to their families at no cost whatsoever (Sorry if mentioned before) Edit it is Phil and Giggs

Stay safe!

I visited Brescia & Bergamo a fair bit when I was with my ex. Seeing video of army trucks going to a hospital I recognised just to pick up corpses was shocking. Seeing the real world that I know get fucked by this makes it so, so much more real and tragic, I think we should all emotionally brace for seeing horrible footage out of North Staffs, it could happen if we get unlucky with a cluster round S-o-T. The only good news is that Lombardy's deaths dropped a lot from yesterday, hopefully it's over the peak but I'm still worried they might just have crested one of the foothills.

And they are only testing people who are going into hospital, there must be hundreds of thousands of not millions who have it in Italy. Have people not been observing the lockdown?

It’s a class move. Maybe a few of the worlds billionaires should try following suit instead of asking the government to bank roll their company like that horrible little bearded fuckwit.

I hope he's right and I hope (perhaps naively) that people take note.

In Holland, Prime Minister Mark Rutte giving a national address right now on tv..... 76 lives lost as of right now.....Holland is not going into total lockdown and re-iterating the fact that social distancing of 1.5 meters makes a huge impact on minimizing the spread of the virus.
Panic buying has reduced dramatically

Streets are dead outside my mates' places, but Italian news says not everyone's doing it. "Very grave situation in Lombardy: the region asked phone companies to check citizens' movements and 40 % moved over 300 metres. Fontana tells people to respect the rules: "the number of infected isn't going down. Stay at home or we'll get more aggressive". But really it could just be the timetable. It takes on average 5 days from infection to symptoms, and 23 from infection to death. They locked down 11 days ago, so you're still gonna be hearing about people who got infected before then so that'll muddy things up.

Getting sick of all the empty words and bluster. My missus works on the front line of the healthcare industry, in one of the highest risk industries and is in the category of risk being on the Vaccine register with a chronic, lifetime illness.
She's been told today by the GP that Public Health England are not recommending she stays away from work, despite the government advising earlier in the week that by the weekend they will be advising people in her category to socially distance themselves and isolate for 12 weeks. With her job that is physically impossible.
She now has a choice. Take the risk and work (and ultimately risk her life) or take time off unpaid and risk getting the sack, of which there will be no comebacks.
Where is all of this money that was promised?
Where is the legislation to stop private healthcare providers putting their pound coins before the safety of their workers?
These daily briefings are utterly devoid of any substance and are a complete waste of time.

We in the nhs have no choice mate as if we went off with anybody at work showing signs it would all result in everything breaking down with no healthcare system We will only be tested if somebody in the patient, colleague or family member group tests positive It’s what we have to do

Anyone applied for a mortgage holiday? I spoke to nationwide who agreed I could have one but said they’d have to increase my interest after the holiday. I'm with Nationwide mate. I haven't contacted them yet but I will be doing so shortly I imagine. What did they say exactly? How long of a window did they offer? Any charges? And what was the interest increase? That I could happily do it but my interest would increase. I’m trying to find out if it’s just to cover the interest I would have paid for the three month holiday.
