Coronavirus outbreak

Not impressed by today’s briefing. Just more promises and very little action.

The first few briefing questions were asking about the delays in testing and why the rhetoric about ramping up tests, especially for the NHS staff does not match the reality.

I am so bloody angry that Sharma and Yvonne Doyle are not answering any of the questions just repeating the mantra that progress is being made and plans are in place . It's all about ignoring past performance and look how well we will be doing. No admission at all that things could have been done better.

Cummings may be in self-isolation but his acolytes are still calling the shots.

Why are any of the journalists not allowed to ask for a answer ?
I rarely watch these daily updates,but just watched this one....exactly what I was expecting.Not much !

They ought to call them the daily government PR show. It is nothing to do with informing the public.

Are they ramping up the testing next week ?

Are they ramping up the testing next week ?

'Within weeks' I think. Not sure how many weeks exactly.

Are they ramping up the testing next week ?

It is their main priority

I read somewhere that the govt said that it delivers the testing kits to the hospital and it's up to each hospital how they split them between patients/staff !!!!!

We are the self regulation society!!! - ass covering !!!

It's alright lads, the ventilators are on their way.

Good job we opted out the EU scheme then !!!

Another trend I have noticed is a trickle back to work under the guise:-

"We are doing some work for ventilators"

Heard a few people have been asked to go in with this excuse. Seemed a fair bit more traffic on the roads today....

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but if they'd brought in the *current* rules/guidance before that one crazy sunny weekend, we would have had a lot less problems.
Giving hints that things would soon become stricter was asking for trouble.

or it was a way to sacrifice a load of plebs (with on average trade unionist tendencies) to manufacture support for the lockdown and attempt to guilt-trip MPs.

Here's a radical idea: announce restrictive measures when they start to come into effect, not hours/days before.

As opposed to this, which is a proper gander broadcast...

It may be true because there's a lot of stuff goes into those machines, with some suppliers unaware their products eventually contributed to medical equipment until now.
