    Worrying times indeed, perhaps when we reach the 'other side' of this we will appreciate how bloody good life was before this came along and not complain/get hot headed over trivial matters...

    Baffling view and idea. Just baffling. Get back in the garden or something

    Really hope you and your family manage and are helped!
    MANY of us are going to go through life changing experiences.
    People/society need to be supportive.
    All the very best Nottsy.

    Sometimes it comes from the most unlikely areas. My brother in law private tutors kids from very well to do parents, ends up being more of a mentor than tutor to some of them as their parents are so blinded by their careers they don't acknowledge their kids are even there. Don't get me wrong there are some utterly useless teachers out there like all professions, but there are a great deal who make a genuine difference to a childs life.

    Every world leader is struggling to get this virus under control. BoJo also said draconian measures will be needed if people carry on congregating.

    For people like you he is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

    I don't believe China is free from it at all either.

    Turn your energies into helping your parents and close family.

    Be vigilant and be safe.

    Or maybe not so much reward people who get paid far too much for what they do. Don't worry, once all this has subsided we'll go back to normal, Mike Ashley will still screw his staff, scumbags will still nick other people's stuff and the selfish people will still be selfish. If a positive could possibly come out of this it would be that people did look out for others and that the care of others would take priority over everything else. But the actions of the public throughout this virus so far should tell.you everything you need to know.

    The cover up by China is why the world is in this mess. They need to be held accountable.

    These are the people that need lambasting. Not those who are working their bollocks off to try and recover the country and prevent people from dying.

    Day one and he's turned into some sort of tyrannical David Brent.

    No I get it. And just to be clear, my Mrs isn't just cracking on regardless. Just 2 examples from today.

    1) She's been to the supermarket, but not for anything essential.
    2) She's been to drop some stuff at her sisters.

    On 2, she thinks that because she didn't go in, her sister unlocked her car boot from inside the house and my wife left the stuff in the car, its all ok. And its probably low risk - but shes still handled the car, which has surfaces where the virus could linger etc.

    Bottom line - she didn't need to do either. And people don't seem to be getting the nature of the word 'essential'.

    Don't try and divert the issue. I notice you're one of those who agrees with slapping a 17 year old girl because of her views on an important issue. Shame on you as well.

    London needs locking down properly ASAP imo, people still go on the tube as normal, it’s a hotbed for the virus down there and the hospitals won’t be able to cope if drastic action isn’t taken.

    I'm not trying to catch you out so no need to say 'try again' to me. I'm pointing out that you're forced to go out to work the same as lots of people. Some people have to travel to get to work and the tube is the only option they have. They're not retarded for doing it, they're doing it to survive. They don't have a choice.

    I don't think you've grasped what antibodies are. If the PM and Hancock have been infected by the virus, they'll already have thousands of antibodies circulating in their bodies.

    If you don't follow this, have a word with your mum and dad who with their medical backgrounds should be able to explain it to you more thoroughly.

    The Excel centre in London - from exhibition site to the worlds largest ICU unit in less than a fortnight. Outstanding work from all involved.

    Reasonable, intelligent, commanding, grounded, responsible, I could go on. Essentially the complete opposite to Trump.

    I don't know about herd immunity, but we seem to be well on the way to herd stupidity.

    I know, it's really getting out of hand now. We ordered a couple of bottles of our favourite 2018 Chablis. And what turned up? 2019 Chablis. Pah! Is there no end to this madness? ;)
