Questions

When lockdown lifting? (Erm he has already explained that)must wait for the data,cant risk second peak and second lockdown

Tests into how many have been infected and immune? Loads of different people testing it,we do not have a good test yet,we only have crude data,we are not there that

Number of cases will factor in care homes? ONS figures mention covid but they might not have been infected because they weren't tested,need to work on getting the R number down

5-6,000 more deaths in the country than this time last year,people must go to hospital with normal health problems,the nhs is open

Deaths in black and ethnic community,review? Not clear,age,other health probs and being a man are clear risk factors,we are looking at it in more detail

Old people are scared they might not get out again when they hear they might have stay in till a vaccine- measures are taken to safeguard them,the aim is to keep the R number down,the approaches are not done to be sidelining them

Are ministers avoiding giving details into easing the lockdown? No

Spread of infections going up ,are measures inadequate? Getting to grips with care homes,measures set out yesterday

Indirect deaths caused by covid like other conditions like operations not being done,nhs hasn't been able to respond because of covid,they are looking at it

WHO comments about our response? Not heard them

Coming out of lockdown is a delicate balance,the way out is vaccines and other drugs that might help,clinical trials are ongoing

Keeping R below one is the aim,social distancing will have to continue in some form

Bit worrying that by yesterday we'd only done 18,000 tests per day.
On a linear basis to get from the 10,000 per day at the end of March to the 100,000 per day at the end of April we should have been at 55,000 per day.
So unless we're going to ramp it up dramatically in the next two weeks we will fall well short of the 100k per day.
That's worrying for lots of reasons not least of which is coming out of lockdown ( I.e. is the R factor below 1, who's had the disease and who hasn't etc etc).

Item on TV the other day on this as the superlabs come on stream and move from manual to automated processesing there will be a step change Alledegely.
 
I8rags in normal times it's difficult for military aircraft to do touch n go at commercial airfields, so now is the perfect time to do approaches at airports they wouldn't normally get to use .

Nit one journo has asked the question neither.

I think Mr Morgan raised it with Mr Hancock this morning. Around 15,000 a day or just shy of half a million monthly unchecked travelers is a little disconcerting to say the least. They cant all be ex pats or Brits trapped abroad so why the blase attitude when were on a severe lock down.

Yes but that is nothing to do with allowing exercise which is what we were talking about. If we entered our semi-lockdown earlier, which in hindsight we should have, then we may have different figures. My point is allowing exercise once a day is low risk and I'd be surprised if it has caused barely any infections at all. Added to that 2 of the ways recommended to best avoid it are exercise and vitamin D, not getting either sat in the house feeling sorry for ourselves all day.
 
And what's this about? Hospital admissions for strokes (inc TIAs) and heart attacks are down... Explanations:

1. People reluctant to go to hospital because of the risk of getting Covid?
2. People doing fewer strenuous/stressful things that prompt heart attacks?
3. People misreading symptoms for virus symptoms and going off advice to wait and see if stays as a mild infection?

It seems to be a thing here and in the USA.

Questions

Wearing masks? Public have to let the frontline workers have the masks,we are looking at the evidence all the time,mostly weak evidence at the moment but will keep looking

Why are we still tracking italy and not doing better? We are following other countries curve in the main but we are 2-3 weeks behind italy

Afterwards we will have to look at how we do business with china,how this outbreak happened etc

Any reasons why some regions are doing differently? We need to look at all reasons,a lot of care homes in the north west,their death numbers are starting to come down,can't say about different easing of restrictions for each area

Peoples mental health- everyone who has looked at it is concerned,looking for ways to help

Ha ha oh dear! I once sailed with a nutter who whenever he got home from being away, day or night, would take his drum kit into the garden and hammer away for a good hour. When I asked why he said, "Well they all knows I'm home then." Brilliant.
 
We don't half have some poor journo's,why the same lockdown questions when he has just explained it again,instead hammer him on the letting people comng into the country
