Piers Morgan going to town on ITV, saying all the correct things.

MP constantly referring to just following advice, lol.

What is the government waiting for to put us in lock down? Surely money is not as important as people's lives

Of course it is. Money is the most important thing in the world. People mean nothing. People are just figures that can contribute to increasing money. Governments pretend they give a shit about the citizens of their country but they don’t, they just use the citizens for votes so put on a show about caring about them. But in the end it is all and only about power and money. Religion is the same.

Yes, that figures. There's all sorts of lies and manipulation or censoring of data going on I suspect.

Another weird one: Germany, France and Spain all have roughly the same number of cases each, but Germany has 9 critical, the others roughly 10 times that number.

What's different in Germany? How good, bad or indifferent their health service is compared to the others might affect the outcomes, but I cannot see how it would make much difference to how many people got seriously ill.

Are the Germans fibbing? Or perhaps they have a different strain? Might explain why so few deaths in Germany Vs other countries?

I'd guess that's down to the age demographic but it is just a guess.

100 in each country of the same strain could have totally different outcomes due to age. Northern Italy is full of the elderly, i'd suggest it isn't the German elderly travelling there for skiing holidays.

Happened to me and I've been off work the last 2 days as a precaution, full of cold. You won't get a test mate, they're only testing people who have been in direct contact with a confirmed case or travelled back from a high risk area.

You could try and blag them on 111 that you have been, but how far they look into it I don't know.

I sat next to Karen at Wembley and she has it!

I compared Germany to France and Spain. You might expect some difference in the rate of critical cases, but 10x? Seems odd to me.
 
The office where my Mrs works has implemented a 50% working at home policy, starting tomorrow. So 50% of the office work at home one week on a rota system, then they're back in the office the following week while the other 50% work from home.

There's about 30 people within that team, 10 have asked to remain permanently office based, so only 20 will follow the above alternate rota. The mind boggles at such micromanagement. It's a completely functional office-based role, why don't they just send everyone home to work at fucking once?
