Italy’s figures is horrific!

15,000+ cases for Italy on Worldometer 😳

15,000 new cases in Italy?! 😱

They haven't got a fucking clue what to say about the shops

OMG Italy!

This self employed person isn't tory at all! I earn a really low income- just enough to survive on. £94 per week won't be anywhere enough

They’ve just amended it, thank god

Italy is +5,986 on Worldometer now - earlier figure was an error.

Lockdown by stages it seems. By the end of next week all but essential shops will be closed I think.

Is there anything official yet on the 12 weeks for vulnerable people? I'm not sure if I'm in that group and if dds are in that group.

Italy been corrected now, just under 6k

Still horrific tho, just under 6k

Thank god but even still, hefty numbers coming in god bless them x

Do we have U.K. number I'd increase yet? I know the death toll

I think it's not surprising women are less affected.
They probably have less receptors on the lungs
Drink and smoke less.
Have more autoimmune issues and arthritis so may be on drugs that might help already.
Have to say this apocalypse is being caused/made worse by men.
Pubs/football matches/gym and yes women do these things too but are sometimes more cautious (testosterone) and worry about others and their children

Would be interesting to see a lot of where people think they got it.
As pp football matches or public transport or from their kids.

Jesus Christ that really scared me. Obviously 6k is horrific but figures tripling in a day would have been absolutely terrifying.

I think they mointor ireland - pubs etc been shut a week there - if numbers still surge there then non essential shops will close.

Does anyone know where self employed tradesmen stand? As far as I can see that haven't been ordered to stop working yet. Is it likely the will be ordered to in the near future? Sorry if this has already been asked.

I take Azathrioprine & just got a prescription a few weeks ago which I think is about 2months worth. Wondering if it's worth request more before it's due. I am supposed to have blood tests each time I get it so not sure they'll give it but I am worried about it running out.

Jersey, women are also more likely to wash their hands...!

Tom Peck -'Boris Johnson, asked if he'll be seeing his mum this mother's day, says: "I hope I'll get to see her." The actual prime minister, publicly making clear he hopes to ignore the life-saving advice of his own scientists. It is not an exaggeration to say those seven words will kill.'

Julian Jessop - 'FWIW, I'm sure Rishi Sunak misspoke - he said 'shops' instead of 'clubs'...'

Johnson's plans to visit his elderly mother. Makes me think even more there's treatment for some but not the rest of us. Being overly cynical again.

Perhaps Sunak wants the shops closed now but was overruled by the PM?

It's not enough. Each time acting only after the horse has bolted. So we wait until things get even worse before a proper lockdown. Needless extra lives lost.

He should have said something like "I hope I'll get to see her, perhaps in the garden at a safe distance, or going for a walk, again at a safe distance."

Sima Kotecha - 'Heartbreaking - 627 deaths in #Italy over 24 hours. More than any other day so far. No words. Total 4032'

Tom McTague - 'I wonder if Johnson will live to regret the "of course we're not" considering outright bans on all social gatherings. If the cost of these gatherings is other people dying they will, surely, in time, also be closed down.'
