You think Khan is making the tube trains of Londoners dangerously packed in a pandemic ( and in a mayoral election cycle) as a way of making things difficult for national government? Never, why would the squeaky clean Mayor of London do that ? The man is a toss pot. I happened to vote for him but he's a total toss pot. He was just preferable to Goldsmith. However even if we can agree on that you've let go of your senses if you see this as malevalent conspiracy.

Sweden has made a restriction. Pubs, restaurants, cafés etc open as usual, with a max of 500 people, BUT, the buffet is canceled! So is also sitting down in a bar - you can still have a drink at a table though.

I think I read that as well. And you can still tax your car in that period too even though your mot has expired. I read it differently. MOT's are still needed at the moment but the government are mulling over what to do about it. MOT garages are one of the things that can remain open. OS. Sorry you're right I misread it. Cancelled for HGV's and public transport. Keeping car testing under review. Not quite sure what the difference is but there you go.

That's one of his less potty notions! Mental but pretty mild for him! I think Cummings is using London for his herd immunity experiment. I wouldn't put anything past that scurrilous bastard. OS. Neither would I but if he is can he isolate it from the rest of us, he's very left field.

QUESTION: Can The Corona Virus be transfered from a mosquito to a human?
Just saw the first mosquito of the year in my living room just now. (Had a window opened wide, since I'm painting my kitchen.)

By far the biggest crisis we've faced for decades.
What we need is clear and concise leadership to guide us through this, to quell panic and restore confidence.
Rishi aside (who has been very impressive), the rest has been a shower of shit from the Goverment.
Considering we had the benefit of learning from China and Italy, we appear to be completely fucking things up.
We initially ignored all advice from WHO and also turned a blind eye to how the rest of the world was treating this virus, and opted for a blase "herd community" approach. We've since realised that was a clusterfuck approach, and changed tact. And yet still now there is confusion. We need a full on lockdown and we needed it a week or so ago.
Me, my wife and kids are on complete lockdown. It isnt easy but what more motivation do you need than your health?
Seeing images of a packed underground every day is infuriating.
We know how contagious this thing is and we know it is going to cripple the NHS very soon, leading to masses of needless deaths, yet the Government approach hasn't dealt with this?
Fucking mental.

Great news! Donald J Trump has just announced that we (the USA) are nearing the end of our historic battle with the invisible enemy.
Yes, he really just said that.

Have you heard any prediction concerning unemployment rate within half a year? In Sweden they speak of an increase from 6.6% to 30% within a few months. Tragic.

I agree with the scurrilous bastard bit but I think RichieBarkerOut's posted link above makes it quite clear that the decision to reduce the tube service to a 'Saturday' service was totally Khan's idea and had nothing to do with drivers going off sick. So if that's what he's saying now then he clearly is lying. Probably to cover his arse rather than with the intention of blaming the Government.

Don’t think so, but depending upon where you are in the world you can get malaria or Zika virus from the little blighters.😯 PS...mosquitos mean it’s getting warmer which the virus apparently doesn’t like, so for once the presence of the swines can be a positive.

I've seen quite a few in my long lifetime, but Trump is the most crazy human I've ever seen. He really does belong on another planet. Why on earth don't they just arrest him and send him to Nurse Ratched? The lunatic will kill millions if they allow him to stay in office. OS.

With most businesses in London closed there should be no need for much more than a skeleton service and then all those tube staff can isolate. Before they were closed many retailers were telling their staff to open to avoid rush hour. Theres no excuse for other employers not doing similar. There is no need for a "rush hour" right now.

My wife has just heard the report that Trump reckons that things will be back to normal next week - she remarked "Don't the Americans ever watch world news?"
About twenty years ago an American friend of mine told me that for the population in general, if something hasn't happened in the USA, it effectively hasn't happened at all. I have noticed that to be true so many times.

Just my personal opinion, I think lots of people will be absolutely fu**ed. I could be one of those. If I lose my job, my house will quickly go and I'm homeless with a wife and 2 kids to support. There will be masses of others in the same boat. I still remain fixed on the health element of things. I just concentrate on coming out the other end of this with all my family healthy, and then I can deal with anything else from there.

In what way? Do you have stats that most businesses in London are open still? Or that they absolutely must open and close in conventional working day hours?

Exactly. There's no need for anything but a skeleton service to get essential workers to and from work, that is, until the government tells everybody who can't work from home, to continue to travel to work. We're crying out for definitive, clear, leadership, in a time of public emergency but we're receiving anything but ... it really is an utter travesty.
