Who is sir Patrick for all we know he could be the most inhumane man on earth.

You need everything in the pot.. We are not all about maths models for ffs.

Doctors, scientists are amazing but are they coming at the situation from a humanitarian pov

Measures to speed up funerals include:

  • Removing need for jury inquests

  • Enabling health professionals other than doctors to sign off cause of death certificates

  • Doctors will not be required to see body of deceased

Mass gathering looks likely to be set at 500+

There are 650 MPs...

Care standards for the elderly being lowered sounds horrific.

Any advice on what do with the self-isolating child's twin? She is asymptomatic. Send to school as normal?

Really don’t like the sound of care standards getting lowered to allow for staff shortages. If it’s done, needs to be overturned as soon as is possible.

Reverse triaging. Basically what happens in war zones.

Sir Patrick is chief scientific advisor.

Hippywannabe · 13/03/2020 22:45

A lot of schools are over 500

Random18 · 13/03/2020 22:46

I would hope the lowering of care standards is not long term.

But it is an area that is already short staffed. They simply not be able to manage.

It is a worry though

SixesandEights · 13/03/2020 22:46

They're determined to kill off older people. Bunch of cunts.

Angryrant55 · 13/03/2020 22:46

@Hippywannabe
In places like Netherlands where gatherings are banned but schools are open they not seen as gatherings.

Angryrant55 · 13/03/2020 22:47

@Random18
Bet they are.

C4 prog was on from 8pm - 9pm it will have you screaming at the screen, I would love to know if anyone can lip read what the scientist is saying to his minder off camera at one point.

Understand ministers are drawing up plans that could see mass gatherings banned – potentially from as early as next weekend.

Not a change of heart on the science, sources insist. But they're concerned about the burden big events put on health services & the police.

SistemaAddict · 13/03/2020 22:53

I can't believe what I'm reading. It's the stuff of fiction. My own little world looks as normal but things are far from normal. I'm mentally and practically preparing to have the children off school from Monday.

Is Italy at 7.2 death rate now?

GalOopNorth · 13/03/2020 22:55

Death rate is 7.2%in Italy

That would be 5 million dead here

Fucking DO SOMETHING U.K. government!

cheninblanc · 13/03/2020 22:55

I can only say omg :-(. Went to head office today to see staff being fitted with hazmat suits. Mass gatherings being stopped is the best move

Piggywaspushed · 13/03/2020 22:55

Never mind whole schools. One year group in my school is 450 students.

Angryrant55 · 13/03/2020 22:56

Italy is not testing non hospital cases any-more the death rate is more 1.5-4.%

The Dáil in Ireland is sitting next week to pass emergency legislation. Each party has agreed to send a small number of TDs (MPs) to sit and pass the laws required. twitter.com/rtenewspaulc/s

If everyone who reads this joins and then shares with all of their friends, we’ll have exponential growth (in a good way)

Let’s take this into our own hands instead of allowing ourselves to be the losers in a risky experiment 😡

MurrayTheMonk · 13/03/2020 23:02

Lowering of care standards for the elderly? From shit to really shit then?
Although it's realistic I suppose, as there will
Be no one to deliver the care anyway.

This is sounding more and more like eugenics to me. And I'm the least tin foil hat person...but what the fuck are we doing??

Newjez · 13/03/2020 23:03

So, assuming the USA start large scale testing next week, are we expecting an explosion in numbers?

Re trump's address to the nation, is the man insane?
