now that the hoarders have strip the shops empty our local Tesco is only letting some many in at a time ,so our wait is an hour to just to try and catch up on the things the hoarders have taken. After an hour we are only allowed some much which means we are still trying to do a normal weekly shop but aren't allowed. We have bought a loo roll now for over two weeks we are down to our last roll. Now as we are self isolating I feel very guilty of asking a friend to stand outside for an hour to than only get 40% of the stuff we need. Why aren't us non hoarders allowed to get back to a normal shop after the hoarders wont be doing a shop for another 6 months.

Have you got any smaller Co-ops nearer to you, I’ve been staying away from the large supermarkets as I really can’t be arsed joining the free for all that’s going on where people who need the food the most miss out.

The co op round the corner from me has bread and milk etc and there isn’t a crowd of people trying to get in that completely defeats the social distancing. If there is anything similar or independent corner shops near you give them a try.

15 flights per day from Spain to UK still. If that’s the case from another 20/30 countries that’s still a lot of people going into the UK.

As for Boris I sincerely hope he’s ok because at his age and size he’ll be a big risk!

how many flights are cargo planes?

The problem is we have neither enough police or soldiers ro patrol the streets, Put the whole lot in London and they would be pushed to keep control. Every town and city in the country? No chance at all.

Is it possible that the large majority may actually stay indoors leaving the idiots on the streets in which case they will be targeted better especially now with cameras everywhere?
We are seeing the benefit of some of us totally able to do our jobs from home easing the burden away from roads and public transport so maybe some good will be done.

Now Hancock is positive.

Didn't these idiots follow their own advice?

Following their advice reduces your chances of getting it but doesn't totally eliminate the possibility.

Oh dear what a prick. He is running the country and heading the Cobra committee that is making life affecting decisions. Ffs

Is that really necessary?

Thank God Dennis Skinner didn’t get reelected

Further 8 died in scotland

Well good to see our leaders have been following their own advice

Hancock so desperate for likes from the PM, he’s caught it now!
The real issue is, why ‘mildly symptomatic’ politicians, footballers and royalty getting tested and front line NHS staff are not?

But as Johnson has it and now hancock, it seems possible that one may have infected the other, more likely because they have kept less than 2 metres from each other.

Pretty much this, there's been a fair number of cases around Parliament, and it could be passed on fairly easily.

If a well know figure gets it that’s massive publicity for people to take preventive measures.

The celebs pay for it and the main figures of our government are obviously a priority. It's not fucking rocket science is it.

Here’s another one, Jesus wept.

Politicians are running the country.

Charles is heir to the throne and the nation’s constitution.

Celebrities and footballers can fuck off though, I agree with that.

Laura Kuenssberg will definitely have it then.

Only if you can catch it from jizz

Why are the 2 main heads of the British response to coronavirus tested when showing symptoms? Is that really a question?


Why would the bloke who spends all day working with Witty and Vallance, the 2 civil servants coordinating the virus response get tested?

It's fair enough, what I posted sounded different in my head than how it looked in text form.
It wasn't meant how it looked, but I don't mind a little abuse now and again.

But, if the only people being tested are those admitted to hospital, why do they need testing? If they’ve got symptoms, do what they keep telling everyone else to do. It’s called leading by example.
BTW, underlining doesn’t make it right.
