Early days but the curve is definitely flatter for Ireland too.
Let's hope the measures the government have introduced are working and it stays that way.
Why, he does have a serious issue here.
So I’m supposed to believe a guy named “feed me” doesn’t have vested interests here?
Like those with zero hours contracts, its being ignored by the government.
At this point, councils should take one closed school or other asset and put there local homeless into them as temporary indoor accommodation.They could still self isolate in a large facility.
If not for humanitarian reasons, then because they will inevitably start infecting people themsleves.
To get a decent idea of the comparison you'd want to look at number of cases, amount of testing, percentage of cases that end up in ICU and the death rate. Just looking at the number of cases doesn't tell you much on its own.
You would think so but that is the point at which a lot of countries have initiated lockdowns, so there must be something to it.
Remember the aim is not to eradicate the virus or even flatten the curve as much as possible. The aim is to flatten it to just under healthcare capacity.
Thanks.
My principal concern is those homeless people who for one reason or another don’t have access to shelter, which in turn makes self isolating pretty bloody tough.
I see Neville and Giggs are making their hotel available for NHS staff which is laudable but wish more would look at making such spaces available for the homeless too.
My dad too - 8th Army, North Africa and Italy. He'd have a similar response, although he was a peaceful man.
Feck him for caring about the homeless
I’m not sure if he’s joking or not...

Excellent stuff.
I hate people who claim to speak on behalf of the heroes who were actually in the thick of it during the war.
Those who lived through it are some of the most liberal, tolerant and balanced
I agree also that they have no time for the nonsense that prat is going on about on Twitter

He's living in meme world.
feck me, that’s absolutely diabolical.
I’ve had a meltdown this morning and left my (in laws) family WhatsApp group because they were chuntering on about “how good a job Boris is doing”
To be honest, I’ve been waiting for an excuse for years
Not everyone has seen that tweet....
There must be something in it?
Everyone's winging it with this so if other countries are struggling than surely you have to be more agressive than them in order to flatten the curve.
If you find it's too restrictive then you have the option of easing things slightly and seeing how it goes for two weeks which would be more sensible imo.
I think I'll go mad if I'm not allowed out tbh. Need to go for a bike ride or a run every day both for fitness and my own sanity.
Again though I think this is because people are still hanging out in groups.
How are they organising supermarket visits in other countries? That's genuinely worrying me about the UK now both from the perspective of having to be around larger amounts of people and also of not being able to get anything.
Nobody really wants to be in their in laws whatsapp group do they?
I'm barely tolerating my own family's one
My dad too - 8th Army, North Africa and Italy. He'd have a similar response, although he was a peaceful man.
Yup, that's the thing, and this goes for friends who went to Iraq too.
People who've actually seen war close up, in general don't like it when war is glorified.
I reckon its reaching a point in the UK where it's about saving yourself and those around you. I've advised many other friends and colleagues to do the same. The quicker we act, imo, the less damage.

So true.
The difference with my family is that I can openly call them out on their shit whereas I need to be more passive aggressive in voicing my displeasure with the in laws
tbh, I like my in laws but we are awkward bedfellows in many ways - I come from a working class background and a family with liberal, socialist values, whereas they are very wealthy with a strong conservative leaning and a to hell with everyone else sort of attitude
When are gas and electric bills going to be frozen, if everyone is at home they will be making a killing and that annoys me a lot.
He's been brought up on war movies and anniversary bunting.
Take a look at any classic British war movies of the 40s/50s - and you'll see the Spitfire pilots in the pub after a tour of duty. The plucky bombed out citizens having a singalong in the boozer before heading back down to the air raid shelter.
Like Brexit it appeals to a nostalgia about a time they didn't live but remember fondly as the stuff of childhood dreams of heroism and stoic resilience. The war rhetoric used by some of the politicians makes them want to join in a rousing chorus of "We'll meet again" - it would be comical if it wasn't so dangerous.
Theyll be losing on the business' electric though so id imagine theyd end up so what status quo.
But to your point, yea they should help out some way they can as well with a reduction in cost or something
Seems to have worked in China so I would like to hear the reasoning behind this.
Sunak is an excellent speaker.
They shut the doors and only allow a reasonable number of people in the shop at any one time. When a few leave, they let a few more in.
Pub’s closed, gym’s closed, why’d they have to start this shit on a Saturday?
Maybe because it’s more important than a pint and a cheeky bench press?
Toilet roll, baked beans (one of the only things my five year old will eat), antibacterial spray/wipes are all like gold dust in the UK.
Alcohol will be the next thing that will be hard to find with the pubs closing here.
Holiday homes in Anglesey are all full , People coming from all over the country , it really pisses me off . People in the UK are arrogant, self centred cnuts .
There was a big reduction in choice yesterday in my local Sainsbury's. They would probably be empty if I went in today to look.
I’ve seen loads of people say Boris has done an amazing job. Has he? Ok he’s apparently helped a load of businesses. Is that amazing? He’s made sure a massive amount of people actually have a job and don’t go homeless, but that’s not what you’d expect at the bare minimum?
