Incorrect, 100s of people were dying in Italy each day with social distancing measures in place.

Then we started telling everyone we were going about things as normal!

Perhaps they were taking the view (at that time) that social distancing had no impact then?

That wasn’t the case. We were Mostly alone in our policy of not acknowledging social distancing was needed then changed tac after foreign national newspapers printed headlines like “BRITAIN CHOOSES DEATH”

It's not killing children. Only a handful have died of this. A doctor in Italy told me no one under 18 has died there without an underlying condition. Also he said smoking is a huge factor as is obesity which is not getting a mention.

Watch the daily Press Conference if you can at 5:00. Yesterday, there was a pretty obvious strategy on the part of the 5 Journos selected who all asked the same two questions: where’s the testing you promised and where’s the PPE kit you promised? Because they aren’t allowed a follow-up and can’t comment on the previous response, it’s pretty easy for the Government’s pigs-bladder-on-a-stick spokesperson to deflect, obfuscate and ignore what’s being asked. I’m not sure how much longer the public (and in particular the Journos) will accept such obvious manipulation of the facts.

I do get puzzled when at best NHS staff are shown wearing surgical masks. The expert view is that these stop the wearer from infecting others but do virtually nothing to protect the wearer.

To be ‘safe’ one needs a N95 respirator.

Fair play - today's performance by Matt Hancock seemed to carry a good deal more empathy, conviction and information. 7 out of 10.

We'll see.

Yes. It’s the first one that I’ve watched all the way through.

Seemed more than reasonable to me. Completely unreal and unprecedented (in our lifetimes) challenge. Tough decisions. They said all the right words and the progress seems reasonable - a bit like Dunkirk as was suggested.

I bet you would find that 9 out of 10 of all the people hoarding from the supermarkets are rabid Brexit supporters.

The vote to leave was all about isolation and removal from a community. Of course leavers are more likely to panic buy and I’m alright jack

I can see the PFA argument but I am afraid they are totally wrong.

The world will be a changed place in the future.

DFO your negativity is astoun ding for an intelligent person. First off of course there are some idiots out there making things bad for all of us but the majority of people are pulling together and trying to help each other not slaging each other off.

Bringing up politics is stupid, crazy and meaningless at a time when we should all be backing the Government whoever they are. We are at war with nature we must pull together listen to alternastive views and back the Government whether we like them or not. Anything else will lead to the anaarchy you appear to be moaning about.

Would the ultra intelligencia tell us who they would rather have governing us if they are so unhappy witrh the current bunch?

Corbyn, Starmer, the Army, The Liberals, Scot Nats?

WTF could do the job better?
