Fucking hell. People can’t go to watch their footy team, can’t even go for a haircut, kids can’t go to school... 1800+ new cases of Covid every day, 300+ deaths most days from Covid... then you get this farcical situation for some shit that’s going on in a different country.

If it was happening in London I’d kind of, but not fully by any stretch, think it was acceptable... but it’s all happening 4000 miles away from here... GO HOME! You’re doing nothing but endangering lives in this country where it’s just about the most multiculturally safe and open country in the entire world.

We don’t need to be out in the streets and parks protesting! Nobody in the US gives a shit about us and barely any of them would even ever hear of people here protesting in their favour. So what’s the fucking point?!

i wonder what the reaction will be if a thousand football fans congregate outside a behind closed doors game,these protests have given the dippers a free pass

Well don't bother then, but what has been relvealed is those figures and from 3 days ago it has risen two days in a row.

If you can be bothered to show the last two days real figures then fine but till then I will have to take the governments word, the little it is worth.

Follow this guy if you do twitter mate. The day of death stuff is key to understanding the trends.

What REALLY wases me off is that care home day of death stats are not available till ONS data is published 10 days later.
It really is very annoying when trying to determine recent trends.
 
Absolutely crazy for them to introduce quarantine from monday.
That's more job losses, what a joke.

Come autumn time it will be essential.
Put the process in place and then introduce temporary exemptions based on cases in the source country and include -ve virus tests before travel and tests on arrival and a few days afterwards with movement tracked by mobile phone geopositioning while in the UK.
 
If it’s not already been mentioned on here tonight, heads-up for Despatches Channel 4 and Newsnight on bbc2, regarding the Government’s response to the virus. Both are worth catching up with.

Newsnight and the care homes was essential viewing and should be played, on loop, every fucking night before the government 5pm briefing.
 
Interesting Newsnight article on Covid-19 in care homes - specifically a care home in Blackpool run by a charity called MHA.

On the shocking side:
- Local authority and NHS attempts to force care homes to take untested patients from hospital were shocking ( even trying to trick employees to take them by saying the employee's managers approved it).

Bad things:
- Major issues with a lack of PPE.
- Staff being off sick. (No mention of what if anything was done to cover for staff off sick. Temporary staff?)
- No testing of staff and patients till after 15th April when symptomatic cases could be tested and 11th may (all patients & staff on demand) .
- Lack of financial assistance from local authorities and what assistance they had had strings attached.

Good things (as they wern't mentioned):
- No mention of tests not happening when they were available after the 15th April (for symptomatic patients and staff) and 11th May (on demand for anyone).

Questions that should have been asked for bakance:
- What PPE stock did you have before Covid-19?
- What did you do from mid January to try and acquire PPE?
- What was your policy for staff who were off sick? I.e. Did you try and get temporary staff to replace them?
- What hygene and disinfecting procedures did you put in place?
- What quarantine measures did you have in place for residents returning from hospital?
- MHA has so far had Covid-19 in 90% of its homes compared with a 40% average in England. How do you account for this difference?
