Well her husband used to work in the admin for supermarket but other than that no links. She is only in her 50's so not getting confused by the over 70 rule.

I saw the Met Gala cancellation the other day can’t say I shed a tear. Made me think what vacuous shite there is out there that we are meant to care about.

Angryrant55 · 18/03/2020 13:51

I am not sure the press would refrain if companies got lockdown forms.

MarshaBradyo · 18/03/2020 13:52

Yeh I think you’re right

@Bercows maybe in the absence of Eurovision, we could all vote on national responses to the pandemic instead? Then UK could still get its annual "nil points" fix.

Lewis Goodall - 'NEW: all hotels in Spain to be closed, by order of the Spanish government.
FCO advises all British nationals to return home.'

Eeyoresstickhouse · 18/03/2020 14:01

Helenj1977 · 18/03/2020 14:04

Shit.

BREAKING: Coronavirus cases in UK jump to 2,626 as 676 more patients are diagnosed t.co/UsClfPIvnL t.co/mo4QMlLs7v

kirinm · 18/03/2020 14:05

how many new cases were there yesterday?

danni0509 · 18/03/2020 14:06

Blimey.

danni0509 · 18/03/2020 14:06

Watch the numbers when they do increase to 25k tests a day.

Dread to think of today's death toll!

defthand · 18/03/2020 14:06

Oof. It’s picking up pace.

ofwarren · 18/03/2020 14:08

Probably won't get the death toll till after listening to BoJo

Sunshinesky1981 · 18/03/2020 14:09

Is that just Englands figures or have Scotland and Wales already announced?

Blizy · 18/03/2020 14:10

Scottish schools are close by the end of the week.

defthand · 18/03/2020 14:11

6000 tests too, which is good. 10% hit rate, presumably all hospital cases.

Tom Newton Dunn - 'London will NOT be shut down today or tomorrow, No10 sources firmly suggest. This particular rumour seems to have gone into total overdrive.'

defthand · 18/03/2020 14:15

“According to modelling which underpins the ramped-up approach adopted by the Government this week, the number of people who will end up in hospital is far higher than previously expected.

Close to five per cent of the UK population will need to be treated in hospital for an average of 10 days during the epidemic, and almost a third of these people will need intensive care.”
