Coronavirus

Apparently the PM has tested positive for covid19 and is going to self-isolate.
There are many comments I could make about that but I don't think I need to ...We all on here have minds and can use them.

The thought of Dominic Raab taking the reins ...

Presumably similar to the comments you would have made to Angela Merkel and Justin Trudeau, the other world leaders whose are self-isolating.

Angela Rayner is also self-isolating with symptoms. Not really surprising as Westminster is a hot spot for Covid19, and several MPs have been slow to follow the social distancing guidelines.

The lengths some people will go to to avoid scrutiny.

How about: "I'm sorry to hear that and I hope he gets well soon". That's my comment.

Seconded, but it still doesn’t alter the fact that in the past he has been a bit economical with the truth. I don’t wish the virus on anyone.

That would certainly be my initial response were it somebody whom I respected. Nevertheless, I hope he gets well and learns to be straight with us, i.e. truthful, while he does so.

I would not wish a poor outcome on anyone, and I do think it could be a useful prod, to those who think otherwise, that the virus doesn't discriminate and no-one is invincible.
It's probably just as well that Westminster has broken up for the hols, it'll give some time for any other incubators to emerge and get over it. Wonder if some test kits will be found and used before they convene again.

All that matters is......
Numbers still steepling up...minimal testing...

We're not taking the right approach even now....

Did anybody else see the Italian chap interviewed on BBC News last night who pointed out that we'd wasted 2 precious weeks by not learning from his country's experience?

No apologies for the politics
BUT this is the kind of health service that many in the Tory (and the Brexit folks) want here
There is no point standing in the road clapping if you then allow this to happen in the UK

and (see upthread) those of us who have votes that don't have any value are unable to do anything about it

So maybe the sooner the people responsible for this are confined at home with the virus the better for the rest of us?
