Not sure of its validity though

Millions of people still going to work. Lots of people going out to the shops. It’s not a lockdown at all

Which shops?

 

[Chippy_boy]

Yeah but:

Don't know how long the plateau will last before starting to decrease, hopefully a short time.

It certainly looks like the preceding exponential rise has stopped (thank God):



Otherwise you'd expect the daily deaths to be 1,200 by now.

Fingers and everything else crossed that they start to come down sharply soon.

Where is our numbers,i am getting nervous

I do think the decision to give our numbers always at 6 pm each day along with the presser has at least given a small feeling of regularity and certainty to the situation.

So we all went to work today.
Big meeting with the directors.
Who were reading from some government print out.
We could either go home and have 80% of our wages paid.
Or saty and recieved normal money.they want some to stay if possible as were hoping to keep a couple of small sites going as long as they can.
I went home happily settled into not moving unless I need to shop .
Been talking to a few of the lads they have now heard cos builders can still work we wont get the 80%.
Just lock the lot down please and let's all stay at home

We normally get ours a couple of hours ago,always seperate from any press conferences,i think routine is needed now

if the new virus testing kits are reliable then initiate a mass testing strategy and the coronavirus will be on the run.

Edit: Turns out it's not a test for the virus but an antibody test. Sorry misunderstood.

Italy looks very worrying. 5,000 new cases a day and on average 600 deaths. That’s two weeks after a lockdown aswell

They are encouraging. It's an epidemic that looks like it is peaking.

Was told by my bosses that you don't get 80% unless you are laid off permanently. It's a real grey area and sure it will be abused by companies. I've had to stop work but some of our guys are still working. I said I deserve a bit of loyalty after 26 years and it fell on deaf ears

Interesting bit of science about viral loads

I said I would go home as I thought it was the best thing to do.
My wife's a nurse so I want to reduce the chance of getting it and passing it to her.
If I'm not going to get 80% I'm sorry but I simply will have to go to work

I bet some firms will get the grant but not pass it on because times are desperate and they might get away with it

 

[SWP's back]

I had a BBQ on sunday in my garden, just for my family who live in my house, I am not a ****.

It was still lovely

You know I’m not talking about that sort of thing.

Italy’s numbers not too bad. It’s been 5 days now since that shocker on Saturday and they haven’t surpassed that 793 yet. Fingers crossed!

 

[sir baconface]

times says it will exclude anyone retired on a pension running a self employed business.

That includes me and I’m cool with it.

 

[Bald fraud]

I was told if I go home I would only get the £94 a week so it looks like I’m back in tomorrow then

Large rise in deaths in the Netherlands - 80 new deaths in a day to 356; and 852 new cases - to 6,412, according to its health ministry.

Poland's latest figures from its health ministry - 1,031 cases and 14 deaths

New York state has recorded more than 5,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in a single day, putting the total above 30,000

Boris Johnson is no longer meeting the Queen face to face..

Please note that the Dutch figures may look large but that is because they do not necessarily reflect a 24-hour total. ;-)

Heard on the radio today that the number one underlying condition in Sweden for those who have died was diabetes.

Diabetes UK have advice here.
