Is that just Scotland and ni added on?

Don't think UK test figures have been released yet - +63 cases and 29 deaths would be huge headlines

Trains are reducing timetables. Key workers saying this will make it difficult to socially distance themselves and get to work in the first place.

WTF is Trump waffling on about. He's so all over the place

BridgetJonesDaiquiri · 19/03/2020 15:38

Looking at Worldometer. Why is our death rate apparently so much higher than other European countries? Starting to freak out.

Helenj1977 · 19/03/2020 15:38

Is trump on now?? Can you update with anything important? I'm stuck on CBeebies 😂

Helenj1977 · 19/03/2020 15:39

@BridgetJonesDaiquiri It's not when you think how many positives there should be in this country.

We're only testing hospitalised and celebrities...

One old man I was chatting to had a trolley full of dog food and toys so his dogs would be ok. I nearly burst into tears

Sad

Keep open longer and during normal school holidays. Perhaps reopening August rather than September for all pupils...???

Helenj1977 · 19/03/2020 15:41

@cjt110 😂😂😂 That's sounds about right! Thank you!!

ajandjjmum · 19/03/2020 15:42

8 deaths in the West Midlands - seems to be quite a cluster here.

Calmonthesurfacebut · 19/03/2020 15:43

@Helenj1977 just a lot of waffle.

‘Immediate, like as fast as we can get it’. Honestly you couldn’t make it up.

Basically how wonderful he is!

Helenj1977 · 19/03/2020 15:43

I wonder why there are still no figures...

Helenj1977 · 19/03/2020 15:44

I love watching the people behind trump. You can see they're rolling their eyes in their heads 😂😂

stoptherideiwanttogetoff · 19/03/2020 15:44

No figures make me very worried indeed.. on a positive the school have been amazing today.

kirinm · 19/03/2020 15:45

There have been UK figures - which figures do you mean?

Helenj1977 · 19/03/2020 15:45

That's good news 😀

juneybean · 19/03/2020 15:45

Omg it's like watching a comedy act watching Trump.

Helenj1977 · 19/03/2020 15:45

No England new cases yet
