COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Remember folks: Stay at least 2 meters away from a tiger!

EDIT: This post is in no way recommending that people should get as close as 2 metres to a tiger. They are after all dangerous carnivores that could mistake you for lunch

I believe that I covered this in some detail a few pages back. ;-)

Those figures are wrong, more scaremongering on Twitter

people slag the likes of Raab and Hancock to death, but to be honest they come across as far more likeable when you realise this bullshit they have to continually put up with.

Hancock is much better since he came back,Raab understandable looks a bit scared,i wouldnt want this job

These press conferences are really helpful and useful that is until the journalists ask questions, which aren’t questions just showboating ....

Umm, so that would mean they'll probably like that sort of stuff because they get sympathy out of it.

Anyway, I have to say, asking if he felt he had the authority to change direction if neccessary was exactly the sort of thing we do need to know.

I think the questions are more within Hancock's remit to be fair.

Why won’t they just admit it’s inevitable the quarantine is going to continue beyond the three weeks? I’m bored to death of the same question being asked daily about it now, it’s a crap question, a four year old can see the lockdown isn’t just going to be over anytime soon.

He's got the 4344 from the difference in people being tested from yesterday to today.

It's basically the number of NEW people tested, and not as he's stated it. Which is idiocy.

and he was asked, he gave his answer. It didn't need half a dozen follow-ups from people begging for a headline rather than genuinely trying to provide a public service by providing all relevant information.

I have to remind myself that most ministers are not really qualified for their jobs and have to learn on the job
