New thread

@BeyondMymymymyCorona I got an email from my local leisure cancelling DD for my daughters gymnastics big I had a link to click if I wanted to continue paying.

Thank god for, that about time boris, im actually feeling positive for the first time in a week.

That’s all good. Lots of detail.

This was a necessary intervention. 👍

Predicting mass pub crawl tonight for selfish pricks.

norman smith - 'Er... the Chancellor just said "shops" are to be closed. Surely not. How will people get food ???'

Prehaps that is sunday nights announcement - online shopping for all.
Sunday the easiest day to do it to stop panic buying.

I like Rishi - he speaks really well. Far more relatable to the people than BJ.

I was just posting to say I like Rishi too.

Tb H it doesn't help that the won't let us usually have too much meds. Which is understandable for older patients but I would like usually to have at least 2m worth of meds.
In the current situation they should have told people weeks ago to get an extra month of meds.
Pharmacies are scrambling to fill orders.

Also need about possible antiviral came out uk ought to have been stockpiling them then.

Sunak speaking very clearly.

Good speech

Food shops, pharmacies and other essential services (garages etc) will remain open I guess, like here in France

Finally feel a bit calmer and as if they have a plan

Blimey. There's a lot there.

I don't understand where all this money is coming from

Really pleased with all that. Well done Rishi and thank goodness for pub closures etc at last

Anyone else predicting Rishi Sunak PM in the future?

I can’t say I know where the money is coming from either

They gave my aunt two months worth of her pills but they only the common things like statins not specialist meds.

Predicting mass pub crawl tonight for selfish pricks.

You only have to look at threads on here to know that's exactly what will happen.

Hopefully though it might start to discourage some of my elderly neighbours from going out now that every will be closed.

The cynic in me wonders how they can find the money now, but haven't been able to since 2010.

Anyone else predicting Rishi Sunak PM in the future?

Definitely PM in-waiting material.

Today's press conference was a million times better than yesterday. Yesterday Johnson was a shambles, today he appears so much more serious.

Sunack's professional and clear communications help of course!

Rishi much more inspiring than Boris!

The lack of concrete information and directions on social distancing is appalling. I've just this second come off a thread where someone is saying Witty has said kids can of course go and kick a football around.

What is happening in Italy is that we are approaching peak. Tbh, everyone here is calm now. We won't be calm if that level of rising figures is still continuing 20 or so days after lockdown.

I can't remember the poster's name, sorry but the MN who does the table tracking UK and Italy. Your table has helped some of the "it's scaremongering and lies" lot in here see what's coming. Thank you.

I don't really understand what the measures are for self employed? Can anyone explain?
