The medical lady says it depends how you count the death figures,we are counting the most serious ones,i take that to mean what i have been saying about not eveybody who dies will have this as cause of death on their death certificate,that is why she doesn't want people to compare the numbers with other countries

yeah, we'll magically have lower figures than the rest with so many people dying of something else when we all know it's the virus that's finished them off.

Although there are idiots that are completely ignoring the social distancing advice they are in a small minority. There has been a sea change in a matter of days in this country and tens of millions are doing their bit.

Meanwhile in Wales, Snowdonia National Park was inundated with visitors on Saturday.

Emyr Williams, chief executive of the Snowdonia National Park, said: "On Friday night the prime minister announced new restrictions aimed at slowing the spread of the virus. This included ordering the closure of all pubs, cafes and hotels. In the 24 hours following this announcement there have been unprecedented scenes in Snowdonia

We have experienced the busiest visitor day in living memory.
"The area has been overwhelmed with visitors. More worrying still is the significant crowding on the mountain summits and trails making it impossible to maintain effective social distancing.

Saying people can go out is giving people a false sense of security

Apparently people who’s kids can’t go to school have decided to go on holiday

I genuinely don't know what to do about work tomorrow . I am fit, in fact pretty sure I had this virus back in January before it was fashionable and we just said it's winter it's flu and cold season . I have had no guidance from my workplace about if I decide the risk is to high and don't report for work to protect me and the people I work with do I get paid ? I work to earn money to do the things I wish to do, not because I love working and I am sure the majority of the work force are the same as me ,so what do I do go earn my wage to keep the roof over my head and food for my family or stay at home and practice guitar while bunkered down in my living room ?

I'm in similar position regarding work tomorrow really dont want to be leaving the house .
But if I dont go I wont get paid.
Until we go into full lockdown

 

[moggymoz]

Many people going to work tomorrow?

Yeah, I'm a Porter at the MRI :)

(a) It's almost certain you did NOT have it back in January, when the numbers of cases were so vanishingly small, the chance of you having had it would have been akin to those of winning Euromillions.

And (b), it depends what your job is. But if you have no symptoms and no-one else in your house does, then you should be fine to go to work provided you keep your distance etc.

does that mean an 18 year old has died of it then?

Had a nice weekend. Spent entirely at home with wife and kids.

Watched a few episodes of the Goldbergs with them, made a paella with the box of rice nobody could be arsed to strip from the shelves.

We spent today playing footie and throwing the American Football in our garden, followed by a family HIT session on my daughter's gymnastic mat.

Beautiful sunshine and speaking to my own mum on the Portal.

It is a shame plenty won't have a garden at home, it would put paid to a lot of the wanderlust going on at present?

I'd give a lot for a garden now. Specially as kid needs place to keep his footy form. Shame I'm not in the great money recently, I'd rent some rural house and stay there 2 months.

Watched the press conference. I was hoping to hear information about the antibody testing, testing strategy, anti-virals, vaccine development, the state of the epidemic informed by the data from Europe (which carries fear, but does it too carry hope?). What about a ban on none-essential work?

Instead it was hijacked by a stupid Daily mail inspired discussion about a few thousand people congregating in the open-air. That really is a side-show.

There's also a big problem about testing of London hospital staff which was supposed to be addressed and hasn't been. Did you notice how the London hospital problem was skilfuly hidden behind national data?

It seems only pre agreed questions are allowed to be asked and so there is unlikely to be anything awkward. Anyone stepping out of line won't get the chance again.

yep, today's numbers looked better but bit suspicious too. Guess UK might go with german tactics in reporting deaths, specially as government needs to show their strategy is working asd they are gambling a fucking lot with it.

 

[lonestay]

Chippy boy you assume that I was in the UK at that time when infact I was overseas .

 

[SWP's back]

it depends how you count the death figures,we are counting the most serious ones

I may be being silly here, but are there that many non-serious deaths around these days?

 

[Indaparkside]

Yeah, I'm a Porter at the MRI :)

Do you know big Ian he’s about 22 stone city fan

Model for our press conferences if we ever get any again.

 

[lancs blue]

yep, it's 13960 for me. maybe it's some server time error that sends wrong numbers to some. It's definitely 7-8 thousands in last 2-3 hours, I've seen on other places.

The USA covers a few time zones, I suspect they report the figures at the same local time, hence the gradual increase.

 

[Uffa]

does that mean an 18 year old has died of it then?

Yeah I guess so. Probably had underlying health issues.
