    The media are the proper twats in all this.

    First question after the closing of schools. When is the underground shutting.

    This creates panic and the feckwittery we see manifesting itself in supermarkets, etc.

    The media are not helping at all.

    Boris needs to stay strong.

    Kay Burley just looks evil personified.
    She seems to revel in handing out bad news - maybe she could have a prime time slot where she gets to let the nation know the daily death toll.

    Announcing it like they announce the total figure on Comic Relief on a big screen with music and fireworks.

    PM" when you going to lock my mouth down?"

    What I am not liking is all this z listers claiming they've had it or got it for a little bit or PR.

    This is way we need more testing.

    Think a F1 team thought 4 members had it but they didn't. Going forward don't want people using this as a sick excuse.

    Nope - not really.
    I tend to watch Channel 4 news once a day and then peruse various publications on the internet.

    Boris might have to lock down London though.

    Spreading like mad down there compared to the rest of the country

    No matter what your viewpoint this virus has the whole world shit scared.

    When this is over the economy and workplace in the UK will be vastly different.

    If this goes on for months, which I can see, I can see credit card and loans being looked at by the lenders. Suspending interest, deferring payments until back to work etc

    There could be millions put into severe debt if they don't and the whole credit system will not be worth the paper it is written on.

    The virus doesn't frighten me, it's humans that frighten me. Some of the things I've seen through this saga has left me convinced humans will eventually wipe themselves out through sheer stupidity.

    No one is listening to advice. Boris saying 12 weeks we can have this under control. I bet it’s longer with the morons we have out there.

    In London mainly.

    I said it will be June/July .. it's not a case the virus will go away but more of we've told you the information and effects now crack on.

    More testing and the antibody is all the Government can do until a vaccine is created.

    The media don't help at all. Even the wife noticed it and she hardly notices anything. They more than anything have fuelled this mass panic and hysteria and should be ashamed of themselves. Watching the various media outlets and politicians trying one up manship has been embarrassing.

    All this “my sources tell me London will go into lockdown....” are embarrassing and shocking really. The queues at supermarkets in London this morning were unreal. Out into the car park at every one.
    It’s not transfer deadline day. We really have the gutter press in this country.

    They seem to have a different attitude in the USA altogether.

    As long as Rupert and Co keep their bank balances ticking over they’ll say anything to keep the sales and viewership up.
