Now I’m (obviously !) no expert and can’t say whether policies/plans by ours or other governments are right or wrong. What is crazy is people saying we are doing nothing. We have said from day one we would respond based on scientific evidence, if we are still following that then I won’t argue...

Spot on Pete. All I will say (again) is nobody knows which policies are right or wrong, as we are all in unchartered waters. people who are saying Johnson’s not leading though are massively missing the point....of course he is, he’s taking the a decision which is currently (I say that as they...

absolutely spot on. Are we truly in a me, me, me society’ ? I have been saying this to mates...I’m hoping for every selfish act of panic buying and clearing certain items off the shelves (when young and healthy) we’ll see plenty more acts of selflessness, whether that be self isolating to...

It might well be, however, as long he’s talking the best medical advice, questioning it and being guided it, I can’t really argue with what he is doing

Didn’t realise you were self isolating. Hope alls ok

I’d imagine that the stress in relation to something like this is is horrific. Especially when you are following a path that’s counter intuitive (but based on medical advice). As I mentioned earlier, the easiest thing would be to follow everyone else at least then you can say ‘we just did what...

But here’s the tricky bit though shmmeee, if you do believe that (which I can’t argue against as everything you say/other countries have done is intuitive and some of the stuff the government/chief medical officer is counter intuitive) are you going to avoid Saturday and other social gatherings...

think youre correct sick boy and the misdiagnosis of another person on 2-3 occasions. Think we also touched upon whether most people who were concerned they were infected going to see doctors (as opposed to a phone/111 service) which could have infected others who were ill. Possibly one or more...

Frightening worst case scenario. Let’s hope it doesn’t get to this. A lot is coming down to personal responsibility ie people now keeping themselves at home for seven days if they have any type of symptoms. Some people can’t do that as they live alone but hopefully those that can, will do

Incase people missed the news conference and have an hour to kill. I found it quite interesting (geek !) and a little alarming. Key message I took (other than the new advice) is that this is going to go on for 3-4 months minimum

I was watching the whole press conference but then missed the bit where they were going into a bit of detail about why the response differs from Italy’s. Going to search on the net. It is unnerving that we appear to be taking a different approach currently. Basically the message I got was that...

Press conference on live now (sky news)

Just heard mayor khan saying he’s had access to same senior medical advisors as the government and agrees with the steps they are currently taking

spot on (I had to google pathogens !) and that’s what Im suggesting, it might (will probably) die down a bit in countries and then just spring back up.

It’s a fair point/assumption but from what I’ve read/heard unfortunately due to the symptoms not showing for a period of time (and in some cases being extremely minor) and the substantial movement of people around the globe, it’s always going to be hard/impossible to track and control. We...

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
