Coronavirus - is enough being done to contain it?

Yikes, being furloughed next week.
Already eyeing up jobs I can do to keep myself occupied, but half the jobs need bits I haven't got, and I ain't gonna be getting anytime soon

In the words of Vyvyan (The Young Ones) : Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored.

Clearly there's those worse off than me, but still not looking forward to being stuck indoors. Supposed to be three weeks initially, end of the month, but we'll see.

A friend pointed me to that account a couple of weeks back. Much more informative than the shite we get on the news.

£750m package for charities announced by Chancellor

Boris is sat up and talking to staff.
So why is he still in an intensive care bed. Yes he still needs oxygen and this treatment could still be given on a standard ward for Coronavirus patients.
He does not need to be occupying a valueable bed which could be used by someone who actually needs it.

^The Doctors will decide when to move him but there's no way a PM would go on a General Ward. They might have room in ITU but a shortage of securable side rooms.

To be honest he's safe where he is. We don't want him mingling with the normal folks. For their sanity at least. He'd drive me fucking crazy!!!

And the shite from people on Twitter who are getting themselves into a frenzy over the figures today saying nearly 1,000 people died in the pair 24hours in U.K. which isn’t true, it’s nearly 1,000 people that were recorded as dying, it takes time for people’s deaths to go through the system.

Plus the rate of new cases is slowing. Was 15% increase today compared to around 30% last week

Hope things are better soon
