450 dead in one day and a rise of 4000 infections. That’s just spain and that’s not leveling out I’m afraid

It's the number of new cases I am looking at. Spain, Germany, and Italy all showed drops in the last couple of days. I'm just waiting to see the new figures when they're updated.

The thing is that the deaths were already in the system. Those dying today would have been in the system about 2 weeks ago. A drop in new cases now should hopefully mean fewer deaths further down the line. I know it's of no consolation to those suffering now, but it does suggest there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

Let's hope I'm right.

Just seen a group of 7 or 8 kids walk by together, dropping litter and no apparent care in the world. Roll Eyes

wait, no.

Spain just registered an increase. Fuck.

Still waiting on Germany and Italy.

I'm getting this information here if anybody's interested. It breaks it down by country as well. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

My firm have just announced that they're furloughing some employees in order to claim government funding. On full pay rather than 80%, which is good I suppose but obviously it's going to be a bit awkward as it's not everyone.

So, how does this thing end? How do things get back to normal? Countries will all get back in control at different times. Surely there won’t just come a day when governments don’t just say ‘OK, get back to normal’

A video of tommy Robinson responding to aggression that doesn’t include any footage of the original aggression?? That’s unusual
To be fair, why would anyone be filming until the original attack had taken place ??,  Surely a town centre, there must be CCTV to back it up either way, seems genuine to me but what do I know ??.  If true, then fair play to him at least he's got the bollocks to stand up to these wankers.

BBC News did a feature on this the other day. Grim reading.

My employers started the process to get as many people working from home on March 13. Work desktops going home for those who have got laptops.

Compared to experiences I've heard elsewhere, it seems that they were on it (even if the 13th was probably too late).

I've just driven through Wednesbury. Kids out playing, families out together. You'd think it was just a day off school for them. Roads busy too. We desperately need a lockdown today.

Ive taken my dog to the park behind my house a couple of times today. Not many people out, mainly other dog walkers and everyones taken huge steps away from each other when close by.

It hasn't been that difficult either!

Spain has gone up and up and up. Wish it hadn’t

Yes that was my experience.  Better than at the weekend.  Clearly not being repeated everywhere however.
