    Trump claims they're starting to produce an anti malari drug as possible treatment for Corona Virus.

    Production will start tomorrow in New York.

    Tested it and man claims it saved his life.

    Now, let's see what Boris has got!

    Just an unlucky coincidence that violence follows him around. That said i find some of the points he makes very interesting. Not all but some.

    If the US have come up with some cure I’ll start to believe the conspiracies that they planted it in the first place, far to fast. Especially if the rest of the world has to pay through the nose for it:whistle:

    THREE WEEK LOCKDOWN!!!!

    I don't understand why everyone has to do it though. 85% of people get mild or no symptoms, so why not just lockdown those who are likely to suffer the most?

    Yep, very clear, very firm. No ambiguity, no excuses from anyone now.

    Agreed, but it is the only sensible course of action. There are hundreds of thousands of people putting their lives in danger for us all, the least we can do is minimise what they have to cope with.

    Wonder if we will the armed forces on our streets before long? Not enough police to enforce this, realistically.

    Still feels a mixed message. Stay at home, yes. But only travel for essential work? What exactly does that mean? Whom is essential? Police enforcement including fines but what fine, a fiver, a grand.

    Maybe clarity will occur in time...

    Even if it's not essential and necessary?

    "People will be allowed to travel to and from essential work."
    "Work travel should only be taken when absolutely necessary."

    As with most things @WilsdenBantam@WilsdenBantam the few spoil it for the many, it had to be done as you say.
    Watching on the news an Italian hospital where the medical staff were applauding a woman who had come off a medical ventilator and took he first breath without assistance.
    Then it said 7 Italian doctors had given their lives trying to save others, no bigger sacrifice wonderful individuals R.I.P.

    I'm not a front line worker in emergency services but do work for the Council so big changes for my little girl and me when I'm redeployed this week.
    Just hope people adhere to these new rules.

    Just listening to the debate after the PM announcement and they were saying the police don't want to get as involved as they are abroad, but I'm sure if people don't heed this warning I believe it's only a matter of time before they have too.
