You need to get over this self blame you have been gaslighted into feeling.

Alert level has been lowered from 4 to 3.

Good news - hopefully now we can start rebuilding our lives, rather than be paralyzed by fear.

Out of interest do the rest of Europe have something similar to the furlough scheme we have here?

I believe most do, yes.

Even the USA has got in on the act with this bit of Socialism, including paying $600 a week to people made unemployed (there have been over 40m of them).  The Republicans on the right are getting a bit antsy about this though, because $600 a week is keeping people from returning to work they claim.

Quite interesting, if not much use for solving the current crisis.  At least it gives us a way of defending against a future Pandemic - early warning signs could at least ensure plans are enacted much sooner.

Have i missed something here, i see Macron is coming over to meet the PM and Prince Charles today. Any reason why he doesnt have to quarantine for two weeks?

you've missed that there is a test to show if you have it and that the french PM would probably have had this done!

Just watching today's briefing "fu*k me don't Williams drone on" anyone else noticed when they get asked a question they can't answer they always say thank you you've made a really valid point and I fully understand you then quickly move onto the next question!

Well yes, but supposing i came from Portugal to here, had a test beforehand, i would still have to self isolate for 2 weeks when i get here

All children back to school in September then I see. So social distancing is going by the wayside I take it?

So, remember how at the peak of the crisis the govt were only announcing deaths in hospitals, not care homes or private homes? This is why:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/19/over-1000-deaths-day-uk-ministers-accused-downplaying-covid-19-peak

TLDR: we had 22 days running of over 1000 deaths, with the worst day totalling nearly 1,500, 60% more than was reported at the time.

No wonder Johnson tried to cover this up: he has presided over a slaughter.

That’s not a surprise is it?

This chart, which I’ve posted quite a few times, is only for England but clearly shows over 1,000 deaths per day for 15 days, and upwards of 900 for a good few days afterwards. Add on the other home nations and it’s obviously over 1,000. This data’s been around for ages, although I don’t think the green bars were on the chart during the peak tbf

Can you tell me when the data you mention becomes available? Is it not roughly 2 weeks after the date?

The government needed daily figures to track progress, it was clearly stated what it included or did you not understand it at the time?
