Aye aye. BoJo admitted to hospital.

All this money getting spunked on COVID-19 will make it a convenient scapegoat when Boris’s Brexit plans all go tits up.

And yet the Chief Scientific Advisor Patrick Vallance has said much the same thing. What’s wrong with a bit of positivity? We don’t appear to be matching the trend of Italy anymore.

Dominic Cummings now. They’ve done a great job of following their own advice!

I don’t believe he was innocent of ALL charges. I’m not sure his QC does either. -Alex Salmond's lawyer faces inquiry after 'sex pest' comment https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-52081790 Amateur hour all over the place on this case.

Decent site for monitoring numbers. The UK figures are shooting up: https://ncov2019.live/data

BoJo has it!

I’m sure it’s 41 down from 87.

Announced now. Half the number from yesterday!! Suspect that may be a blip but could be considered a “good day”.

Cleared

Perhaps but given that many elderly (and dare I say it senile) people vote Tory I’m not sure killing them off early is good for the party.

Amazing announcement to close so many business and offer to pay 80% of wages. Must truly shaft BoJo’s Brexit plans.

It’s all quite something. I think I can understand the current UK “plan” if it is all about trying to minimise the effect this will have on the NHS. But I did find this to be a good read: https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-act-today-or-people-will-die-f4d3d9cd99ca

Nice turnaround.

Warren out. Always looked like the best pick for me but I suspect various agendas and some sexism have got the better of her.

Clearly you do not understand what mortality rate means. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/03/yes-worse-than-flu-busting-coronavirus-myths-covid-19

Ah well. At least Sevco got beat. Slippy G might be on his way out soon!

I don’t know what’s worse: the disgusting amount of money that’s been spent by those trying to win the nomination, or that two guys aged 77 & 78 are seen as the best hope of beating Trump.

Supposedly a case in Aberdeen. Lots of folk keen on reality checks - not as serious as other health issues, etc... it’s all blown out of proportion etc... However surely the point is that as there’s no vaccine it’s only going to put a strain on a countries health service, as each person on average passes it on to 2.5 people, and the mortality rate is higher than influenza. So it does need to be nipped in the bud pretty sharpish. Can see Olympics being pulled.

Along with anyone who voted for Brexit.

Sounds like it’s a historic child abuse story that he’s working on.

Something brewing?
