I can see employment tribunals will be busy after this with unfair and constructive dismissal claims. "Could you maintain 2 metres between employees? Did you provide handwashing facilities?" And if they have legal costs insurance for tribunals you could suggest he asks the insurer whether they'd cover for claims arising from health and safety at work breaches.

Good job the courts told the Tories they had acted unlawfully and unconstitutionally when they introduced the fees for going to tribunal.
Of course, Johnson wants to curb the courts from such "political" interference.

Do you ever see anything positive?
 
We know what's coming but it still doesn't make it any easier. Hope our curve is more like China's but I doubt that they recorded their incidents to the correct degree.
 
Wow, so yesterday we he had our first day with over 100 deaths and today we are nearing 200 in a single day.

If this doesn't hit home to people then nothing will.
 
Over 16 days behind Italy still

They had 827 deaths on 11/3

With any luck we'll hit that tomorrow 28/3 and not their 12/3 figure of 1015.

No worries. I got home from school yesterday and went straight to bed. The sheer mental strain of trying to keep myself healthy; the staff and children at school healthy; my own children and wife healthy but most importantly of all, my elderly parents healthy, whilst keeping abreast of all the latest news, information etc was just too much. Off out on my bike in a min; it's been a lifesaver whilst I can't swim (my usual exercise). Take care
 
Don’t know if anybody has seen the video with 2 Spanish doctors they are fucked basically ? Anyone over 65 isn’t getting a ventilator now and they are choosing everyday who lives or dies
Female doctor said she’s working all day going home and crying herself to sleep then up and straight back in

having seen reports they have 4 doctors and nurses to every patient and we have one it’s quite frightening listening

I’m afraid a score system needs to be put in place early before it gets to it on just who gets a bed and not just based on age

We're going to see 500+ death days before the end of the 3 week lockdown even if it's a massive success.

I have to say though, this has really put into perspective wars for me though - We're all sitting here rightfully shocked at 180 deaths in a day and worrying about how many we'll lose tomorrow - In WW2 we lost that many soldiers on average every single day for 5 years.

Or imagine waking up and hearing 19,200 had died in one day at the Somme.
 
At the moment we are still working and keeping to the 2 metre rule, it is a concern though the number of times i walk around a corner and nearly bump into someone coming the opposite direction.

The 4 who died without underlying conditions were aged between 82 and 91.

The "underlying conditions" line is not particularly reassuring I think.

I mean seriously, who does *not* have something or other wrong with them at some point. Half the population are overweight or either Type 2 diabetic or on the road to it. How many people have high blood pressure? Or drink too much and maybe their liver isn't in tip-top condition? Not to mention the countless numbers with immune system issues for whatever reason.

As an overweight, high blood pressure, near diabetic old person who drinks far too much, I am strangely un-reassured.
