The testing situation here doesn't seem to be a problem. The good news is that a few of those that tested positive may be coming through this, with mild symptoms. Fingers crossed.

Some absolute balloon has just been interviewed "on a street" in Leeds by Sky News.

She referred to Boris as "the president".

I know she's from Leeds but fuck me.

Might have been a joke. It could have been her cheeky way of saying she thinks he is like a Trump lite.

Kier agrees with me

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said Mr Johnson's speech lacked "clarity and consensus" and raised "as many questions as it answers".

He told BBC News that millions of people who cannot work from home were effectively being told to go to work with just 12 hours' notice - and not to use public transport.

So probably wrong then :)

Although on my part I would effortlessly slip back into the pre-hysteria world of crowded trains and tubes and bustling cafes and venues,
some people have been so taken in by the hype and misinformation that they are now psychologically scarred similar to agoraphobia. Understandable to a large extent in the elderly and sick but quite a few younger people will have it too which is irrational (but that’s phobias for you.) I call the latter Koolaiders and can spot them easily as they hurry round Tesco in masks and gloves eyeing everyone as though they are leprous. To help these poor folk back into reality I can see a new branch of Psychiatry being formed, Covidophobia?, where they can impart their deepest fears about the virus from a ethanol scrubbed. socially distanced couch to a sympathetic doctor clad in full hazmat gear.

So everyone who wears a mask at the supermarket is mentally ill?
You’re a dickhead if you think that.

They’re doing idiots like you a favour because it doesn’t stop anyone catching it but it stops them giving it you if they’ve got it and are asymptomatic.
 
I don't think the situation worldwide is changing unless the virus dies out of it's own accord, a treatment is found that means people don't die or end up on a ventilator, or we get a vaccine. Of course leaders can't stand there and say that or it would create mass despair, so they use a carrot and stick approach. Behave, things will improve and you will get more freedoms. They know though that as soon as that happens the infection rates will rise again and those freedoms will have to be revoked. I think that has happened in every country so far that has relaxed restrictions? Of course this could be part of the plan to introduce herd immunity by a drip feed method. New Zealand might be the only success story but to what end? As soon as they open the borders to outsiders they could be back to square one.
 
The politicians in this country are now proving to us what rank amateurs they really are , a lot are lawyers , many have never run a business which is what the country is , a huge business .
I never understand why people put so much trust in them , most of them can talk their way right up the social ladder but scratch beneath the surface & they are idiots .

It was only mentioned that the more than once outdoor daily exercise and travelling to public spaces was from Wednesday.

Have you seen how much some of those care homes charge? Unless they are not private ones they should be organised enough to sort themselves out.
