If everything fails you can always have a bath and throw in the fire that should see the virus off nicely.

I'm concerned it may invalidate the warranty on the fire. 🤔

Lots of youtube channels that do such things, might make your money back.

I'll think about it while baking the corona off under my sunbed. Dr Trump knows his stuff, I'm confident that everyone will have a sunbed soon, or real sun like in Iran.

It's only crumbling if people are acting illegally. Maybe some people are finally understanding what they can do within the current legal framework.

Up until yesterday there was still ongoing debate here on CC about the 1 hour exercise rule that never was - maybe this is an example of what is driving higher perceived levels of movement?

dunno the less people out and about the less chance of the virus spreading - so B & Q opening imo creates opportunity for the virus to transmit

Daily Mail leads on Rapid Testing technology's test which the government have ordered 50 million of. Delivery by June although a bit vague on numbers, might be hundreds of thousands.

The Times/Sunday Times has largely demolished the government's response to the Sunday Times original article critical of the government's actions. Paywall, so no link but it makes for interesting reading if you have a sub.

As the global hell continues, the guardian asks the important question.

It seems like this is the grauniad working its usual angles but few can argue that Ardern's leadership hasn't cast very many leaders in a deeply unfavourable light. Frankly I'm all for getting rid of male world leaders. We are RUBBISH at it.

The next President of the biggest superpower on earth is either going to be a guy who advocates injecting disinfectant and UV light or the guy who gets 1.5 million likes for tweeting "I can’t believe I have to say this, but please don’t drink bleach. "

Way to set the bar high, rich old men.

There's a marked increase in air traffic to Heathrow this morning. I've noticed 5 in the last 20 minutes. I wouldn't notice them normally but it's been so quiet of late that they stand out. 2 BA, 1 Aer Lingus, (smallish aircraft) and 2 probably intercontinental flights, white with red tailfins (not Swiss carriers). Little road traffic yet.

A lot of discussion last night and this morning about there being 15,000 people arriving in the UK where currently there are believed to be no checks whatsoever and no quarantine period.

FFS what's the point of having carers turning up in full PPE so they can care and protect your wife.
Only for this morning to have your son turn up with his wife and 2 young kids for a visit.
I beginning to think i'm living in a street with a mass death wish.

I really cannot get my head around air travel being acceptable.

Neither can the government it sounds like if the ramblings of Raab in the interview today.
Is anything to go by. We are being guided by "the science" is code for we don't understand what we are being told.

My impression is that they've been following the science from an excessive distance all along. Perhaps they're afraid of catching science.
