New thread

Tryingtoprep I think it was just social and verbal habit. He couldn’t help himself saying it. Like when he balked at the word immoral the other day.

Boris mums has serious health conditions as well.

Yes Rishi made a mistake about saying shops and he realised his mistake a few minutes later when one of the journalists asked him about shops. You could tell he was thinking wtf ? Anyone else notice that ?

Marsha, but a Prime Minister should be able to overcome that kind of habit when a clear message needs to be given in a time of crisis.

I make that U.K. worst day yet

The extra UC money: does anyone think the benefit cap will be scrapped for now? Otherwise the extra money will be taken away again.

Educating I’m not excusing him I yelled at the radio! But I don’t think he’s got some extra treatment we don’t have as pp.

Over 2.5 in icu in italy.

Marcus Walker - 'The grimmest Italian data yet. 627 more dead today, more than on any day in China. Total deaths now 4,032, of which 63% are in Lombardy.'

So of the tests done in 24 hours nearly a third of those have tested positive. Jesus

I have no words regarding Italy. I can't process it at all.

does that mean all new cases (714) are hospitalised as they are only testing the severe ones that require treatment, if so thats awful.

wow, both numbers and measures...

Does anyone know how far behind test data is? 2,355 additional test results with 714 new positives is an awful statistic.

Possibly - might also include some people ill in hospitals who were they for other reasons but if they were not they might not be tested.

When does this higher number of testing begin?

I've heard it mentioned by Boris himself.

Most testing is done though on people suspected to have it, so those figures are to be expected.

Italy is one death per every 2/3 minutes

I am sure Boris will not be seeing his mother in Sunday. Stop being silly. It seemed he would have said..see her at some point , if he hadn't been rushing to the next question. He knows full well what would happen if a photo leaked out of him physically standing with his mother.
