    No the message now is young people can get it and die. That's the message they're trying to get across but everyone knows it's slim.

    There's a difference between getting it dying, and getting it and surviving after a need for intensive care. The ICU's are full of people of all ages, its just that the elderly and those with pre-existing serious conditions are less likely to pull through. It's all still a demand on NHS resources and it still places EVERYONE at risk. Listen to this ER doc in NY:

    To many holes(no shock) in Rishi offering for businesses and the public.

    If you defer your mortgage then banks are still changing interest on it. So you will be behind and then have to pay more on restart. So not a great holiday.

    On the government business loans banks are wanting person personal guarantees.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52043896

    The 80% of 2.5k isn't working as businesses are using it for some staff then paying cutting others. Some are just pay cutting. Not working.

    Too many holes in delivery and this is why praising Rishi, Boris is nonsense.

    Hopefully, today with the self employed the offering is more solid.

    The general public need more support now and so do businesses because they're too many falls. Rishi and Boris need to bloody step up and stop being woolly!

    You’re blaming the government for businesses acting like tw@ts.

    Yes, make sure the banks understand what the holiday means and the loans should go through without trouble.

    Should have covered everything when discussing with the banks and the 80% of 2.5k was never going to work.

    Need to step up and do more then pair of them.

    Rubbish they have been restricted because of the lack of testing kits.
    As they become available there will be more people tested and you will see the figures rising.

    It was a good interview she didn't let Zawahi off the hook although I thought she kept going over the same question what he'd given the best reply he could, especially the ventilator question I would think it's very difficult for a manufacturer like Dyson to start from scratch on a product they have never made before, to tool up etc, I didn't think his reply of next week was unreasonable.

    Not at all. Talking nonsense

    With testing you get more accurate results.

    Before testing you have people saying they have the virus but clearly didn't but they were classed has having and counted in the numbers.

    Now increased testing gives more accurate numbers which should reduce numbers unless we are only testing those in hospital or those we know that certainly have it.

    I'm going all tin-foil hat for a second.

    This virus is now a global pandemic - its reached all over the world and the western, capitalist world is badly affected. Could be left in ruins. But its hardly touched Shanghai or Beijing? No stock market crash in china. Impressive efficiencies around the building of hospitals in 10 days - almost like they already had everything ready to go. Negligible infection levels in Russia and North Korea.....

    China's well placed to completely take advantage of the shut down of the western world, economically. And not just in the short term.

    A stress test for a bigger pandemic to come imo. We weren’t ready but should be more prepared next time? What better way to prepare than a trial run of sending countries into lockdown etc
    I’ll take my tin foil hat off now

    Seen as we are on the tin foil hat stuff, have you read the qanon conspiracy theories on why everywhere is in lockdown?

    You have to wonder about this virus getting out, especially when Dr Li Wenliang wanted to make the world aware of the situation and was gagged and eventually died of this virus or so were told ?.

    Maybe, this is why Trump is like nothing will stop us and back to work, as at the back of his mind he's thinking we have been attacked but it's not the time to point fingers that can wait.

    Or he's just a mad man.

    Russia is just starting with it now as they interact more with Europe so have been caught as it spreads across Europe rather than from China.

    Putin is so worried he has cancelled the referendum that would allow him to keep power longer
