Worried About Corona Virus- thread 32

New thread

Correct me if I'm wrong but if we are +600 ish and Scotland alone is up +400ish that means 200 cases combined in England wales and NI? Seems much lower than expected. Am I reading this right? X

He's not Nicola Sturgeon, is he.

Fuckity fuck. Nothing.

Well that was a bit lacklustre to say the least.

All I hear when Boris is speaking is 'Woff, woff, woff, waffle'.

Great, nothing again.

I thought the high risk people self-isolated last week?!

With scotland being up 400+ alone those UK figures do not seem right at all...

Council will provide food and supplies to those who have no family/friends able to help. Military will support.

I think numbers of cases and deaths are always a bit lower at the weekend as I suspect the rate of testing being done is not as much. I hope I am wrong though.

USA has 8594 new cases

Caters, formal and informal can continue to visit as long as they respect social distancing measures.

Woodencoffeetable where can I find that graphic? Sorry, I don't know how to tag people, but that would actually help me to explain why social distancing is important to certain "head in sand" types!

416 is total number of cases in Scotland.

DH thinks the most vulnerable started to act earlier than in Italy and awareness of the virus might be helping already - eg wash your hands

Too early to say things are definitely headed the right direction here. Need a few more days of data, but that's one day where numbers are better than we feared they could be.

What answer was that about the courts?

Are juries still taking place?

Bojo looks sweaty n Ill again

Hopefully someone can help me on here with 2 questions! For my DH and FIL who aren’t taking the government advice seriously.

Should self employed labourers doing jobs such as non emergency repairs and decorating still be going to work?

Is someone who has received chemotherapy/radiotherapy in the past 12 months for a high stage of cancer (now in remission) classed as vulnerable? This person is mid 60s and is also a heavy smoker and drinker (always has been).

He knows that people don't act responsibly.

Screams into the void...

starrysimon there is a list on here about what they consider to be vulnerable.

651 deaths in Italy today. Not as high as yesterday but all the same. 5500 now. Jesus this is horrendous. Hopefully it will turn as the lockdown takes effect. Poor souls

Under constant review

Boris:
Keeping parks and playgrounds open outweigh the epidemiological benefit of closing them. If people can't keep children 2m away from each other of course we will have to look at closing them.

He is misleading us though because the shitstorm is coming anyway following the trajectory of Italy and Spain. We've not taken these measures earlier than they did? So he can't blame it on people not listening.
