Coronavirus outbreak

[Eziemnaik]

So in your opinion Italian sentiment regarding lost economic opportunities, loss of communities, lack of solidarity is not based whatsoever in what has been happening in reality?

News reports this morning suggest face masks might be a good idea after all.

Coughs and sneezes spread diseases, innovatory thinking - in 1946.

I think the argument is that, for the public, a face mask probably won’t stop you getting the virus, however if you have Covid, it will stop you spreading it.

Here we have what's called 'Universal Masking,' and it has worked to help slow the spread.

There seems to be a bit on social media this morning that roads are busier than past few days. The inference being that people are starting to disregard the lockdown. It's very difficult to make this assessment on an individual basis

Here is the Tom Tom real time analysis of London traffic. No evidence of any increase this morning

Sunday will be interesting as it is forecast to be sunny. All the visitor attractions and NT car parks are closed so will people try to park at the side of the road for Exercise'?

We need action the plan should have been in place in January.

Yanis Varoufakis? Willing to be corrected here, but isn't he fairly well left of centre?

You can him a few things but far right isn’t one of those things.

The basic plan should already have been in existence in a big A4 ringbinder marked 'In case of pandemic' on the shelves of the DoH.

A warm Spring Sunday. I suspect if there is fairly widespread disregard for the essential journeys etc instruction we will see a tightening of the lockdown early next week. It doesn't feel like there is widespread support for it now but that may change after the weekend (as it did a couple of weeks ago)
