Regardless of the morals, the other businesses shouldn't be having to supplement for something which central government should be funding in the first place. It's great you're highlighting what they're not doing, but what should you think they should be doing?

Interesting, there was stats drawing a similar conclusion in certain states of the USA yesterday as well.
A group of researchers from Aalborg University have also designed and build an emergency ventilator the past 14 days and have put the design and instructions up for others to use (or they're just about to make them publicly available).
Can someone explain about Australia? I've noticed their numbers seem to be low so just wondered how they are handling it?
I know a lot of my Aussie friends are not happy on FB, because they've locked down 25million people over a few dozen deaths. They feel it's gone way overboard but their government is obviously taking no chances.
Due to the sums of data we consume these days and the way they're packaged up, this gesture wont hit as hard as it might have 18 months ago, for example. Knowing that companies don't like giving something for nothing (if they did, a cash credit on bills would be better as you said), it actually gives some interesting insight in to what the actual cost of data is to telecoms companies.
All that said, the Kevin Bacon EE NHS advert is doing the rounds on TV today and from what I'm hearing the take up has been huge this morning. The Website has gone down a couple of times.
I know it's not exactly an equivalence, but should the Chinese then be held responsible and made to feel regret?
What all 1.3 billion of them?
660 parties shutdown in just Greater Manchester last weekend by police.
Good luck.
Since typing that I’ve received a letter from my gp this morning saying that I’m at risk. there’s a number I can ring for my local council to arrange shopping, pharmacy delivery etc. Feeling relieved now even though im good for a few weeks
Just came here to say that, mad bastards

Police had to shut down 660 parties in Manchester last weekend alone. Adherence to the lockdown iss going to continue to get worse.
There's a hell of a lot more that aren't being shut down around the country.
My father-in-law called the police on his neighbour as they had a huge party yesterday (his young son has CF), and was told no one will come out because they are too busy.
Slight drop in UK numbers.
887 deaths today.

Updated graph of English deaths by day of death (last 5-6 days will see significant upward revision):
Updated graph of deaths in England by day of death. 765 new deaths as of 5pm yesterday, down from 828 the day before:
Orange is a 5 day trailing average with the last 5 days omitted as they are bound to have significant upward change. Still no idea what happened on 31st of March.
These people's names should be put on record and should be denied entrance to all festivals and clubs for the next 3 years.

It will if the government maintain this softy softy approach in not supporting the police. Smack a 1k fine on these people and publically announce numbers fined and you might suddenly find that the number of those having parties quickly reduces.

That's insane. There were a couple across our entire country last weekend...
Sounds terrible, but they should be denied care or should have to pay for it. Our NHS is at breaking point and these people don't give a sh*t. Also why should the police get abuse for trying to do their jobs?
Well well well, how the turntables

Clamp them in those ankle bracelets and don’t allow them to travel outside their area as punishment once it’s back to normal
I think we're looking at a few days of fluctuating between 800-900 or something, then perhaps a bigger spike for a few days. Hopefully not, but that's what the statistics suggest elsewhere don't they.
Oh I'm not suggesting anything. But there's calls on here suggesting economic sanctions and the likes. Would that not have the same effect as shaming their entire population, besides also hurting them economically?
That one is from December
Cheers, you too.
Not to make light of a crisis, but will the Syrians be making sea journeys out of Europe too?

England reports 765 new coronavirus deaths
NHS England has recorded 765 new deaths in hospital from coronavirus.
It said that 140 of them occurred yesterday, while 568 took place between 1 April and 7 April.
The remaining 57 deaths took place in March, including two on 19 March and one on 16 March
Might make the numbers seem better but this could go for any released daily figures in Europe

Wuhan is opening up but I feel that this is not a good idea. What if it comes back again? This is going to create a much bigger problem for the world.
Why's that?

If it comes back. It's going to get worse than before. If it doesn't well and good.
Apparently we have to be in lockdown forever now, just in case covid19 comes back. It's a good job the world didn't think that way for pandemics in the past or else none of us would be alive today. It's fine to be concerned, we all are, but I just can't get on board with this fear of any country attempting to move onto the front-foot and get on with life.
it isn't going anywhere anytime soon. we just have to manage it.
I hope either we find a cure or it gets weakened enough not to kill so many people
Exactly, there is nothing wrong with being afraid right now, we all are to different extents. But this logic of just sitting behind closed doors indefinitely because of 'what might happen', is counter-productive. Eventually, the world has to go on the attack against this virus - we have to move back into a way of life that benefits us all, while also managing the virus as best as possible. It can, and will, be done.
I think you misunderstood what I mean. Even now the Chinese are being blamed for this. Even though in my opinion the countries who are getting it so badly got it because of the incompetence of their own politicians .
Now if China opens up Wuhan and it comes back and spread out again USA and UK could declare war on China. A war of some sort and not necessarily military.
Comes back?
1,538,079 confirmed cases so far. It's going absolutely nowhere until herd immunity or a vaccine.
What Wuhan does will have zero effect on that.
