Signed up as an NHS volunteer 10 minutes after hearing the request for them on Tuesday.

Just had an email from them saying they cannot verify my identity.

I uploaded a perfect scan of my passport. I am of course on the Electoral Roll. Paying mortgage on house I've lived in for 15 years. I'm on Companies House website as a director. Served 25 years in the Armed Forces.

if they can't verify my identity then there's going to be lots of others they can't too!

I'm really disappointed tbh. Wanted to chip in & do my bit :(

I think you think he’s an idiot? Even his staunchest supporters would be outraged at the thought of their fellow Americans being left to die. He must have a plan and this plan must revolve around mass testing and a gradual return to normality.

There are separate threads for both Trump & the ex-Royals but in this case The Donald is entirely correct in saying that the US won't be paying for these two self-entitled wasters.

Have no problem with Harry and Meghan. It's not his fault he was born into a ridiculously outmoded concept. They've left it behind them. But you are right the US has no obligation to pay for their security. Not quite sure why the idiot Trump had to comment as I'm sure the couple have enough dosh to pay for their own security.
 
The concern with Trumps tweets (well, one of them!) is he thinks 8.5m and beating The Batchelor is somehow a success. That’s a crazy amount of people already in lockdown not bothering to listen to their head of state at an unprecedented time of national crisis.

It's a wonderful number! One of the best.

(Unlike all the corona statistics, or the stock market.)

At the broadest level, our minds work in simple ways. He has to show a portion of his base, and himself, that he's winning in some rating, competition, or has the highest score, or something, or they, and he, will get bored.

That's what I think too. Trump messed it up but he's not going to be allowed to mess up now. US state will swing into action when their people are dying. Test and lockdown. UK wont do it. They will. They'll use everything.

They have 140,000 confirmed cases as of right now, possibly ten times that in reality. What do you expect the state to do that can halt an absolute catastrophe there?

They need to throw the orange **** in the sea and crack on without him.

Have you tried your local council? Not many people realise but a number of councils are delivering food to the vulnerable and checking up on them.

Of course, the Third Sector are helping the vulnerable too. Check this link:

I'm not sure there will be an EU going forward if the Germans and Dutch don't agree to a Marshallesque plan backed by the whole EU to rebuild the EU economy post virus using funds based on common debt.
The virtual summit held on this issue last week was a virtual disaster.
 
First item in Trump's press conference. Rapid testing. Abbots pharm. 5 minute tests. 50,000 tests coming on line each day.

Deployment of rapid testing is Trump weapon of choice. Immediate testing of health workers. Go into care homes.

Hydroxychloroquine also in use in a 1,100 plus trial in NY. (All brought to you first by marvin I might add)

Blood plasma also in use. Antibodies from healthy recovered people to very sick patients.

Reusing masks - by sterilisation up to 20 times. Close.
