My office has set everyone up on their own laptops or new ones provided by the company so we can work from home if needs be. They are also installing hand sanitizers where you come into work, but if they can get the gel to go in them, then who knows?!

'Workforce' methinks.

"Police and fire services will only respond to the most serious call-outs if their staff fall ill through coronavirus" ... Great, they're using coronavirus as an excuse for yet more cutbacks to essential services. I ever what they consider "most serious".

How come there is 39 cases if yesterday was 40?

I’m on a train to London

I’ve just seen a member of staff walking through the carriage with a bottle of virucidal spray and a cloth. Well done GWR!

On the downside, there are two people in my carriage with unpleasant coughs making no effort to contain their germs 🦠

Now it's a 4 step plan

contain

Delay

Research

40 cases announced, minus one false positive (doctor) = 39 cases.

But what IS your plan?? Bumbling fool.

@Cheeseismylife how did you find out about the teachers dh? Have the school not announced anything? I would freak!! Would the teacher not have disclosed to the head that her dh had been to a hotspot at the start of term?? The teacher would have to be tested nd kept off, did her dh go back to work... So many questions!!

My youngest dc has a teacher who's dh is a gp in an area with one confirmed case. That's a worry to me. Have your kids gone go school today?

The plan doesn't contain what we will do, it sets out what we might do.

WASH YOUR HANDS!

Ffs. What a waste of time.

No-one ever mentions the homeless. Surely they are a high risk group.

9 new cases here in Sweden this morning, certainly feels like its starting to ramp up.

Sorry, I’m trying to get my head around the announcement that police will only attend the most serious crimes if police staffing falls...I mean yes, but should that be announced? Is non-violent crime about to see a sudden opportunistic surge?!!

How come there is 39 cases if yesterday was 40?

There's 41 on Worldometer. They didn't remove one yesterday and they've added another today. Not sure why 🤷🏻‍♀️

interesting to see what the figures will be at 2pm!

I'm not a medical person, but do adults have rougher lungs than children?

Maybe so but as yet so little is known of this couldnt say for certin, is that is the case tho i suspect not!

There’s 43 on the WHO dashboard

Not really telling us anything are they? Where is the plan?

I think the PMs speech this morning has been incredibly disappointing. A whole lot of nothing .

Where's the plan?

There doesn't appear to be any current plan, other than wash your hands.

They talk about containment, but don't appear to be putting in any measures to help contain it.

His speech was over almost before it began! Blink and you'd have missed it. Underwhelming!

Thank you. Is there another one? I was hoping it would stop somehow.
but where I live there was a parent in school tested positive so that’s must be the newest one..

medical staff coming out of retirement....will there be a premium for this then? essentially putting their lives at risk by working again
