It’s great news IF that’s the reality. Who knows. The key is whether the virus ‘reappears’ (not sure I’m of the medical term !!) and becomes widespread once the restrictions are removed though

butt out then !!! only kidding.... I think/hope you’ll agree that steps will be taken here at the appropriate time

i So why are you suggesting nothings happening ?! I understand everyone’s worried/concerned but it’s obvious the government and their medical advisors are working through a planned strategy (whether you, I or anyone else likes it or not)

not sure anyone’s saying it’s not going to get worse. It is, we know that. But to blame the government for inaction when various experts have detailed why they have taken their current stance is ridiculous. We will undoubtedly end up taking similar actions as other nations but at the time the...

The New York Times article ROS linked also has other experts also providing similar advice/comments as I say, I don’t know whether they are right or wrong but that’s who the government are following

I presume you’ve read the comments from Mr Stuart and Dr Neil in the second half of the article ?

Just to be clear I am saying all of this with a mum in her 70s who has asthma who I love dearly and want to protect. I told her last week to avoid large gatherings and buy groceries online. That doesn’t change my view on what I and the rest of the country should do though, which is maintain good...

To suggest the government is sitting on their hands is crazy. Do I think they and all other countries are struggling to know what’s best to do, yes (these are unprecedented times), But I also listened to GPs yesterday saying that they were receiving regular updates, had all received additional...

yes, and how have the steps taken by Germany, Italy, France etc helped so far ? They are currently irrelevant. I’m not saying we’re right, they’re wrong, however, I am saying our government have said from day one that they will base their decisions on the medical advice they receive. I hope...

I agree Fernando, it’s coming ps I am just saying that I honestly believe the government have taken the steps they feel appropriate at the right time (who knows whether they end up being right or wrong but if they are based on senior medical advice then I’ll back them)

Wh Unquestioned loyalty ? How about the opposite of people not supporting anything the government does just because it doesn’t quite fit their political persuasion ? Ps maybe the government could’ve told everyone with cold symptoms to stay at home over the last few days....maybe those with...

It’s obvious, rightly or wrongly, that he’s trying to keep the country calm. As I say, there will be plenty of people whatever happens that will try to argue their political points. I’m just saying this has nothing to do with politics. We’ve followed medical advice. Where is the praise for the...

Don’t disagree shmmeee and im not saying it’s correct, however, there are plenty of people out there that have happily questioned the government when ultimately the key decisions have been based on medical advice

So, to all the people who have tried to politicise this (which is pretty poor in my book)... The government has a pact to follow medical advice rather than take actions to react to public opinion A government owned bank has offered mortgage payment holidays (which lead to all others doing the...

worst case I think

guessing as health minister she might’ve been around hospitals etc where it was. I agree about the numbers though, undoubtedly they’ll be loads more cases than the confirmed numbers in every country. they reckon many may be carrying it with only very mild symptoms

Great results. come on city keep the run going !!!

I don’t know about Chinese migrant population but I recall reading about one of the initial Italian ‘super spreaders’ that went to the doctors three times before being tested and diagnosed. It’s hard to make comparisons as it appears we are at different stages of the spread, however, as Sick...

Rob, I honestly don’t think that’s the point they are making,l. More the fact that’s these health issues have, more than likely, combined with the coronavirus to cause the fatality (it might even be that their underlying health issues caused the fatality but the individual also had coronavirus)...

Spot on. Most have got elderly parents or grandparents so I don’t think it’s a case of a majority of people not giving a toss at all. Hopefully it’s people appreciating that it’s the elderly/ill that are at greater risk and therefore they should try not to worry too much about themselves, follow...
