Only 3 new cases today. That’s good isn’t it

FourTeaFallOut · 05/03/2020 14:23

I wonder if Sky News will have the numbers before they update the phe page again?

inneedofchocolate · 05/03/2020 14:24

Local news are reporting 2 more cases in Greater Manchester bringing the total to 11 in the region.

ellaandthebella · 05/03/2020 14:24

@Jenasaurus today's number have not been released yet. That is just in Scotland.

GalOopNorth · 05/03/2020 14:25

Jen I don’t think the figures for today have been published yet.

@Jenasaurus I thought that yesterday, but that's just the Scottish numbers.

ofwarren · 05/03/2020 14:27

Today's figures aren't in yet.
I know of 2 in Wigan and 1 in Birmingham.
The others added to the numbers today are from Scotland as they declare separately

usernameishistory · 05/03/2020 14:28

Oh hi @ofwarren

Is all going ok with you?

ofwarren · 05/03/2020 14:30

Yes thanks username
Just anxious about these results!

pussycatinboots · 05/03/2020 14:31

Ken beat me to it Grin

ScatteredMama82 · 05/03/2020 14:31

I'm working from home but I can't concentrate, keep checking twitter, the virus tracking pages etc. :(

Ledkr · 05/03/2020 14:31

Joining in as I'm just starting to feel uneasy.
I'm in Cheltenham and they appear to be still going ahead with it which means our town is going to be inundated with thousands of new people all bringing with them their germs next week. My son has has a transplant so is on immusuppressants and his girlfriend is pregnant. Such a worry.

ofwarren · 05/03/2020 14:35

Welcome fellow transplant parent! My son is a liver transplant.

Youngatheart00 · 05/03/2020 14:35

Confused as to the reason for the delay. Is it because of the 24h hiatus, or is that just for the precise locations?

Ledkr · 05/03/2020 14:36

Thanks off it's a worry isn't it? And his gf is pregnant even tho he was told he was probably infertile. Smile

ofwarren · 05/03/2020 14:36

It's been as late as 4:30 in the past.

Glittercandle · 05/03/2020 14:37

Stating updates will be at 2pm and then not delivering doesn’t inspire with confidence.

ifonly4 · 05/03/2020 14:37

Ledkr I dropped my DD off at the racecourse at 8am this morning (as she was getting a coach from there to work another racecourse). I had to queue to get in due to lots of staff arriving, lorries and vans dropping off food, drinks and other things. Marquees are all up, course ready (know someone who works there). It's such an fantastic atmosphere - we live further out but they'll be lots on the streets who often stop for a chat.

GalOopNorth · 05/03/2020 14:38

scatteredMama I am exactly the same. Compulsively checking through threads and unable to settle to anything. Feel as though I am just about to have a job interview!

ofwarren · 05/03/2020 14:38

@Ledkr that's lovely to hear because that's a worry isn't it.
My son is only 5 and I love hearing when transplanted adults are doing well.

ifonly4 · 05/03/2020 14:39

Forgot to add, but..., to my last post!
