    None!

    Bojo will be rolled out on Sunday like he's Jesus Christ on Sunday.

    Trump and Boris all about the points. Trump has even said tonight Boris should be up 300% in popularity now. Both using this awful situation to win votes - disgrace!

    Boris won enough votes recently to blow Labour out of the water. He’ll be the PM for a good few years to come so I don’t think votes are his main concern right now. What he needs to do next is fathom a plan to get people back into work and businesses open again ASAP before the UK economy dies beyond repair for decades.

    100% if he doesn't he will lose because people will be on the streets, jobless and rich people will be losing money like no tomorrow.

    People will soon be getting concerned if no exit date. 9m on Furlough and half of them could lose their job if the government keep on hiding behind the science as companies will start making cuts instead of waiting for the government to say dates.

    Well Trump is kicking off at them and refusing to pay 58m it cost the US to get advice from them etc

    Think he's trying to blame them for all this.

    Countries will and have started to do their own thing.

    WHO are not covering the short fall of the economy.

    he is saying that but odds on he will end up paying. US have tried this before and UN started looking elsewhere to have their base and suddenly US coughed up.

    Surely their advice needs to be tailored to the specific circumstances of different countries...?)

    Yeah but the WHO can say what they like as the economy isn't their problem.

    Countries can't afford this lockdown to go on for much longer mate. The UK is cracking and it's 3 weeks in. Places like India cant last for months on this.

    As a 70 year plus man it's easy for you to say.

    People have bills to pay and investments to protect.

    My pension is taking a battering and I am nowhere near old enough to claim it. luckily, because hopefully I have plenty of time to get my money back.

    Like it or not bills haven't stopped and need to be paid. Health is vastly important but when people are on the streets and where you live is looking worse than Thornton Rd on a good day you will be the first to complain.

    When rats are running around your street free as a bird because your street is a dump you will be the first to complain.

    Like it or not the economy is important and key decisions will be made soon enough.

    Well rich or poor, house or houses, rent or mortgage, kids or no kids, job or no job, Furlough or no Furlough.. if this lockdown doesn't end soon we are all fu&ked.

    Yeah, I love Stephen King books. The Rats was written by James Herbert but it will be like people's streets soon if we can't lift this lockdown anytime soon.

    Austerity takes and ruins lives too so not sure why this point is immediately dismissed every time it’s brought up. I guess it’s an easy thing to when you’re not the one who’s likely to face the grave repercussions of a plunging economy.

    If the goal is to save and protect as many people as possible then economic factors also have to be accounted for.

    100% mate then you have to factor in mental health, domestic violence, child abuse, lack of education, obesity increase, lack of food for some.

    Then you have to thinking about your kid's future if you have children 17 plus they're knackered if we don't get out this lockdown soon because jobs will be hard to come by.

    Long term massive worldwide issues if we don't move quickly on this. As I say those that think this lockdown can go on for months and months are not thinking about the economy and more than likely over 70 or think their job is 100% safe which it isn't no matter what they do.

    This is a worldwide lockdown and not every country is giving out the benefit the U.K. are giving.

    As for behind closed doors games people need a little bit of realise and hope now now which sport brings.

    Selfish attitude of the OAP generation happy to be kept alive for a few more years claiming their pension whilst the younger generations will be left to pick up the pieces with higher tax and austerity for decades to come.
    What about the working class who pay into the system who may not have a job to return to.
    But hey let’s keep the 90 somethings alive for a bit longer

    100% spot on. Lockdown needs to end ASAP and at the very latest businesses need to reopen latest 1st May

    Oh pardon me for not wanting Euthanasia by the way there is a fairly high mortality rate for men 50:to 65 do you want to write those of to. Of course this has to end at some stage but not yet and when it is it needs to be done gradually so we don’t get another surge in infection

    They'd be the generation that paid for your education, shame all that money was wasted.
