News said earlier that there would be the usual 5pm conference, today led by Gove. Has it been cancelled?

Effective pandemic planning would have a B team who never come into contact with the A team.

I used to be on a local disaster planning group which included pandemic planning we had two completely separate command centres

I've just gone cold reading those numbers from Italy. I can't comprehend it at all and feel so, I don't even know the word for how I feel. Those poor families.

A lot of people fled from N Italy as it was being locked down and headed South. I think a lot of new cases sprung up there.

client how on earth can people be so bloody stupid? FFS

Horehound · 27/03/2020 16:59

Can anyone answeer my earlier post:
Can someone explain who are making up the negative tests? If they are only testing people in hospital how can there be so many? Or so they have to test the same people every day assuming one day they don't have it and the next they might??

Horehound · 27/03/2020 17:01

God imagine if BJ died from this.

MarshaBradyo · 27/03/2020 17:03

Horehound · 27/03/2020 17:12

Just realised they can't ban construction because they need them to build the hospitals!

SistemaAddict · 27/03/2020 17:13

@ClientQueen we can see that from here (not from the house though). Dicks.
