That's fair enough. I just worry that the message will be undertstood to be mask up and everything else can fall by the wayside.
The bit that needs to be mentioned as well though is that the countries that use masks are often the least affected but that also has a lot to do with the UK and the USA (especially the USA) are absolutely full of obese diabetics, often with some for of vascular disease, which does, along with age, seem to be the prime co-morbidities that turn this virus from a very mild cold to a deadly disease.

Well judging by the local youth, they've given up on social distancing and they aren't wearing masks either.

We need a government TV advert campaign I think.

R numbers rising like a bastard across the country. Doubled in London to 0.8 and above 1 in NW and SW.
No scientist at today's briefing.
Death numbers still averaging 200-300 daily vs expectations that it would be in the low tens.
Worrying.

Wrong on every level, look at dates of deaths not announcements. R below 1 nationwide, is ideal.

The youth don’t watch TV grandad! ;)

Needs to be all over social media, YouTube, Twitch etc if you want a chance of getting the message through to the youngsters.

I believe we had more deaths in the UK yesterday than the rest of Europe combined, given today's numbers are still at 350 it will be damming if the same happens today.

I fail to see anything positive about how this has been handled

This is not true. The Uk reports each day all deaths reported in the last 24 hours in all settings. Some of the deaths today happened in April and I think one in March. Spain for example used to report like that but now only report deaths that only occurred in the last 24 hours. That’s how they went from 280 deaths to zero overnight. Whoever is putting this info out there is talking complete and utter bollocks. It’s 100% fake news
 
Not wanting to put a downer on things, but reading WHO website, listening to their experts talk from various countries who are in contact with everyone creating a vaccine it sounds like a 3 to 4 year haul - by which time we'll have achieved herd immunity I expect. Even our very own Chris Whitty alluded to this quite early on, he has more qualification letters after his name than a Welsh village.

I remember his comment, and yes he is pretty qualified. I did comment on here that the only way this was to end is by achieving herd immunity. More likely than not now, judging by the easing of the lock down. This is also coupled hopefully by the reduction in the strength of the virus,as per the Italian doctors. As long as we see infections constant/declining without hospital admissions we are on the right path
