Fuck. Still not testing enough.

@CrunchyCarrot oh Brexit how I miss you! This situation makes Brexit look like a tea party 🥳 never thought I'd be wishing to go back to Brexit...

Bloody hell I guestimated 4,800 and thought I was erring on the side of caution....clearly not!

I want to get off of the world now please.

Helen, I wanted to get off the world ages ago!

Brexit was a cake walk.

I did hear a nice thing on R4 from someone who grew up in the troubles saying we can be honest with teens about how lucky we are compared. I’m not quite there yet as we have a fair bit to go but it did make me feel emotional.

Me too Helen I want to go to the woods and build a shack

Paul Waugh -'This Trump press conference is so excruciating.
He is again pushing his personal preference for anti-malarial drugs as a treatment for #coronaviru

I don't understand why Trump is doing this. But then again the Americans love advertising medicines to individuals as though they're a commodity. It's so irresponsible.

+1035 cases from under 3000 tests.

Trump tweeted that Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin taken together have a real chance to be the biggest game changers in the history of medicine

He's an absolute dotard

Hoping this mass ventilatior production makes a difference

So approx 20% hit rate (I couldn't be bothered to work out the exact number) based on the just over 5k tests. Wow. Just wow. I am terrified of what's to come.

Namechange why? Not doubting you, interested in why it’s the wrong way to go

My understanding is that 2 UK doctors have died of covid.

There are 6 cases reported by the media. And Barbados is forcing anyone from US UK and other hotspots to quarantine.

He's got to announce more closures and restrictions tomorrow surely

We are allowed to use private land arent we, if it came to it ? Are farmers allowed to shoot though?

If we have that many that had just been tested in hospital, how many do we think we have in the community?

Lmerc use private land for what?

In italy even going into your garden might be banned - dogs will have to do their bussiness indoors.

Jeremy Bowen - 'It’s been like any other Saturday in my local High St, shops open & people strolling, except no pubs and sit down cafes. Italy was similar a few weeks ago - but over 2300 have died in Italy in last four days, infected when they weren’t too worried either.'
