I wonder what will be the total figures at the end of this? Just for the UK. Cases maybe in the millions deaths around 15,000 maybe? Nah it’s slowing in Italy and treatments are being trialled

I saw FM post Italy figures but they don't make sense.
New cases was up 300 on yesterday but they suggested it was dropping!??
Anyway I knew it was premature to think deaths were dropping whilst critical cases were still accelerating.
743 dead today.
Critical cases up 200 to 3400.

Starting to show what's important is health and family. Hopefully we'll make some societal changes after this that reflect that. You'd like to think so but you just know their will be twats like Philip Green, Richard Branson, Mike Ashley and others already planning who and what they can exploit once this settles down. Philip Green. He's on the list as well.

I work as a delivery driver for a certain catalogue company,who have now shut their stand alone stores, but not their hubs.I have now to do extra hours because we are so busy. Don't blame the government for that, blame the public, do they really need new irons, patio sets, chest of drawers etc I don't think so. I would rather my company offered our services to the supermarkets, providing essential goods needed to survive, not providing luxury items for the house and kids so they aren't bored.

Popularity grows out of Fear. It happens with Wars. Leaders always gain popularity.
Churchill got booted out in 1945. Because the man replacing him was his deputy leader and shared some credit after the war. However, the public soon went back to Churchill and voted him Greatest Briton of the 20th Century.

Tracking v Italy 7.3.20 Italy death toll was 233, on 21.3.20 UK was 233 the same but exactly 2 weeks later. Since then Italy went, Deaths per day 08.3 133 09.3 97 10.3 168 UK Deaths per day 22.3 48 23.3 54 24.3 87 So over the 3 days since UK and Italy were level pegging UK has had 189, Italy 398 Same trend but at a slightly lower death rate (crumb of comfort) And yet Sth. Korea, still haven't reached 100! They're light years ahead of us ...

GOOD NEWS! Very small scale and of a purely personal interest. Over the last few days I suddenly seemed to have stopped receiving a stream of scam and nuisance phone calls of the type wanting me to change energy suppliers (its just a survey!) or talk about the compensation claim for my supposed motor accident, personal injury etc. Suddenly no cold calls of any type and no frustrating harrassment, whereas on some days I can get two or three call centres bombarding me with crap.
Perhaps because of the Coronovirus. Maybe they've just realised that they are not an essential industry, or perhaps their staff are just unwell. Anyway whatever the reason its makes a very nice change.

Hancock's comments on Sadiq Khan and the running of the Tube Services is bang out of order and quite disgusting tbh
How can you be saying Stay Home and then in the same breath there should be more tubes running for commuters!!!
Especially when the reason why Tube Services have been cut is because so many drivers are self-isolating (which should be encouraged, not discouraged)
He wants Tube Drivers to put themselves at greater risk?
Sends out completely wrong message.

It's not good people going out on leisure but is there another reason? Rightly or wrongly it seems People are seeing the first few days off work as a break from work. British people work on average one of the longest hours in Europe, we need to work because living in this country is expensive. Its possible we as a nation would be more content in sitting at home if we had more leisure time in general to do the things that need doing

according to who? Maybe everything is playing out just the way they want it to Playing out just the way they want it? At every step they have had to clarify exactly what they mean and then almost immediately reluctantly go a step or two further than they announced. so hes guilty of thinking the british public had a few brain cells

Piers Morgan wants to know the name of any boss forcing folk into work when they believe it is unsafe or unnecessary so he can publicly expose them.

Just been to do some food shopping. Wow, what an experience that was!
Was handed an antibacterial wipe at the door on the way in, the shop was half empty and at the till had to stand on pieces of gaffa tape on the floor, each 2 metres apart.
Now the missus is in the kitchen spraying everything down with antibacterial spray.
Odd experience.

Emergency hospital being set up at the Excel Centre. That might help stop the spread(sheet).

Sends out completely wrong message. Surely essential workers still need to use the tube, but cutting the number of trains because there are less people still means each train is rammed full. Keeping a lot of trains running with less people means less crowded trains, more distance between people having to use them, less chance of spreading the virus etc...

Just to confirm I really don't know what calculations are being made here. The new cases are up to 5200 today, 300 increase on yesterday and critical went up 200... Misleading information I think...

Been trying for the last week and a half to get a delivery from every single supermarket that does them. Can't get a slot for love nor money. I'll be honest, it was horrible if necessary and not an experience I want a repeat of any time soon. Felt really sorry for the poor staff.

Kind of reassuring that it wasn’t that busy and that they’ve started to implement measures to help reduce the spread of the virus. Wonder if other supermarkets have started to do the same?

Haven't got a clue mate and to be honest, something I don't want to find out if I'm honest. I'm trying to shop local to where I live but trying to find time out of working from home in the day and trying to pick quieter times where you're less likely to encounter too many people is nigh on impossible, so it will be late night dashes to one of the bigger ones for me, to grab whatever I can for three sets of vulnerable people.
