Daily briefing back today with kind caring Gav

[oldbagface]

Looks like we will be treated to more Ill thought out announcements at five o'clock. The journo's really need to take him to task over this so called plan.

Is it on BBC 1? I can't find it on my schedule?

Where are today’s figures? Normally on gov site at 4pm.

@lilgreen have you found them yet? I've not

There haven't been any overall figures yet...

After extensive googling I found 176.

Oh wait... that's yesterday, isn't it?

I THINK it's 155.

Weird how there are no figures today.

Found the same thing. Could find numbers for hospitals easily but had to search harder for deaths in all settings. I think it’s 155.

No still no published figures!

I want to see the new cases not deaths.

Well, yes, either/both.

I wonder why there is such a delay?

I think the 155 is a rumour, based on last week.

Finally!

He's just so disingenuous everything he says I feel like he learnt it on a work course.

He is very wooden.

John Crace in The Guardian is v amusing:

@piggywaspushed 😂 brilliant! Got to love John Crace!

Figures are very low compared to what we’ve had.
I do love the title of this thread. Makes me laugh!

I was at work today in a care home doing the drug round and one of our residents who is 96 who was watching the tv commented that the government are trying to play with numbers again!!

Brilliant article. Stuck at 6th former! I was only saying yesterday that they must have appointed him because he has the most recent experience of school- his own!
