Does that help them short term?

On average 1400 a day die in the U.K., it would be interesting to see how many are actually dying and how that adds to the figures, many maybe would’ve died anyway. I know our aim is to slow death rates as this would be astronomical if we didn’t stay at home.

There's nothing like rewarding the badly run hospitals who've smashed their budgets!!

I've had to work throughout, generally leave at 6am and there were noticeably a lot more cars on the road today.

Maybe a lot more people / firms realizing the government money isn't coming.

I noticed a lot more traffic and people wandering around today. I'd have said it seemed like a quiet day, not lockdown.

Same here, Im off work, went for a run this morning and it seemed busy everywhere, seems to be lots of roads being dug up at the minute in south manchester must have passsd at least 4 diff gangs of road diggers, deffo a lot more people and cars about really cant understand why

I'll add to this. Far busier today.

Hes a right tit ,or a big tit, or just a tit!:))

I'm guessing that it may do.

You’d have thought, that after yesterday’s figures, people might have taken this more seriously, not less.

44 of those reported to have died after testing positive for COVID-19 in the latest figures had no underlying health conditions, according to the NHS.

I wonder if this is the last minute pub and beaury spot visitors coming through now

13/14 days since then. I think it will be 2/3 weeks until the full effect will be seen because it won’t be so much the people out that will be hospitalized but the people they were in contact with in the following days and weeks.

 

[Mayor West]

I wonder if any of those last minute pub goers are dead now? Wonder if they think it was worth it?

 

[Stoned Rose]

Got my bingo card out he used the 'right steps at the right time' within a minute can feel a 'ramping up testing' is on the way

How many "unprecedented"s?

Writing off the debt presumably helps, not sure how exactly.

The 'we've shipped X million items' seems popular to quote, but needs the context of what that number means; the numbers are thrown out because big numbers sound good and most people won't wonder what it means. Sending out 10 million of something is impressive if usual need is 1 million, less so if it's 8 million.

If they’re dead, it’s unlikely that they’ll be doing any wondering.

 

[Postman Pep]

Does that help them short term?

Suggests to me that local NHS trusts were suffering budget constraints as well as supply chain issues in sourcing PPE ? If this is so significant why wasn't it done sooner?
