that North Korea article is so sad I hadnt realised the conditions they lived in - one small portion of soup in 24 hours no wonder it went through them so devastingly quickly. Now they are allowe 800 grams of food a day

Jerseygaly · 09/03/2020 12:58

Negligence imo

Helenj1977 · 09/03/2020 12:58

@Kuponut how do you know that? No updates so far...

pussycatinboots · 09/03/2020 12:59

The Cheltenham festival starts tomorrow and every year brings thousands of drunken fools into town many of whom will have travelled here by plane. It's laughable to think that all of these people will be practicing good hand hygiene when they are usually vomiting in the streets by 9am!
Yep. they should be holding it behind closed doors at best.
Ireland need to isolate anyone travelling back from UK. and I'm english

MurrayTheMonk · 09/03/2020 12:59

So they've said they are having another emergency meeting on Wednesday? But not what was decided today 🙄

AvocadoOwl · 09/03/2020 12:59

Cobra out - we're still in Contain which is fucking idiotic.

Where has this been communicated @Kuponut? I can't find anything?

@helenj1977 lobby correspondents reporting PM spokesperson

Number12 · 09/03/2020 13:00

Oh ffs still in contain phase!!

FourTeaFallOut · 09/03/2020 13:00

So they're not telling us till after the budget.

Helenj1977 · 09/03/2020 13:01

What a joke.

BigChocFrenzy · 09/03/2020 13:01

Those poor souls in N Korea
They live a miserable life at the best of times, with dreadful oppression and famines

With 180 soldiers dead of CV19, I wonder how many hundreds - or even thousands - of civilians could have died there
Is the govt there even bothering to count ?

MurrayTheMonk · 09/03/2020 13:01

What does that mean? That they will still do absolutely nothing? For actual fucks sake.

Wetcappuccino · 09/03/2020 13:01

Arlene Foster has apparently confirmed to ITV news that status remains Contain

CrunchyCarrot · 09/03/2020 13:02

Sigh. They are still 'considering' !!

Eeyoresstickhouse · 09/03/2020 13:02

The tories are wanting to protect the economy at all costs...... they can't have their friends losing a little bit of money can they?

UK PM Johnson Spokesman: We Remain In The Contain Phase, But Now Accepted That Coronavirus Will Spread In Significant Way

NeurotrashWarrior · 09/03/2020 13:05

Is that an official statement from the cobra meeting?

pussycatinboots · 09/03/2020 13:05
  1. Dither
  2. Delay
  3. Panic
  4. Run Away

We're teetering between 2 and 3 even though the Government is insisting we're doing 1.

I suspect most of the Government will skip 2 and 3, heading straight for 4.

WouldShouldCould · 09/03/2020 13:05

I've just collected up things that can't be washed easily that we care about and put them in a sealed box in the loft. It was the posters threads back that said about leaving her teddy after having diphtheria that made me do it.

Lycidas · 09/03/2020 13:07

We Remain In The Contain Phase, But Now Accepted That Coronavirus Will Spread In Significant Way

Should be:

We Are in the Delay Phase, In Order to Prevent the Coronavirus From Spreading In a Significant Way

So dumb.

Rocketmam · 09/03/2020 13:07

Is 'containment' synonymous with 'doing feck all'?

Is that the official message? Sounds badly thought out.

alloutoffucks · 09/03/2020 13:08

So they will just dissolve parliament and tell us to wash our hands?
