It won’t affect me being in Wales but wouldn’t it mean that only one of me or my brother could stay with our parents because we’re both alone?

 

Again, it feels like Boris is rushing out ‘good news’ in an attempt to cover up everything else.

Nope - you can stay overnight and don't have to practice 'social distancing', i.e. you effectively would become tacked on to the household you choose to join together with.

 

Not bad so basically you can join with a family member and hope that neither household gets it.

From 12 March, 11 days before Johnson finally did something.

Surely that comes down to a lot of the root cause is we have a Cabinet full of Junior Ministers, who have got jobs based on their ideology rather than their skills and experience.

The Cabinet is full of the pro-Brexit tories that Boris needed for what he thought would be his only job. The fact that they were inexperienced and useless didn’t come into it.

I don't think it's to do with the cabinet it's Sage who advised them differently to the WHO. I mean by the middle of March so many surrounding countries were in lockdown that the Uk people themselves started making their own decisions to protect their families.

 

It did likely come down to ideology when you have a Tory government who value private wealth over public health.

It’s appearing that SAGE did tell the Gov to lockdown before they did

Again I am probably in the minority here, but I don't think it should be introduced so soon. If people can meet their family outdoors as many times as they want socially distanced that's good enough without putting the low R rate under risk by allowing house visits.

My god they really think he is more important than anyone else, don’t they?

The R number is rising slightly and is between 0.8-1.0 in England. It's 0.8-1.1 in the South West.

 

Given more shops are going to open from Monday, it looks like England's R number will pass 1 overall again.

The opening of shops is not likely to cause a significant impact at all and hasn’t in any other country that reopened shops.

 

The increase in R has been attributed to within hospitals particularly the outbreak at Wester Super Mare hospital staff. It was stated at the briefing today we are moving from community incidence, to over time more local, discrete, individual outbreaks, including in hospitals and other settings.

It's to be expected really though, the big problem going forward will be hospitals as we don't want another case where anyone going in to hospital picks up Covid.

 

It will be interesting to see how this is managed going forward as even the regions stated are not really geographically accurate. I suspect they will start locking down cities/areas rather than the whole of the South West. We need to tred pretty slowly and carefully as there's only one chance to crack this, there is no way we are going back in to a country wide lockdown again. I don't mean that's England specific, from what I've read, it seems every country is following that same motto too. Harsh reality, but suspect that's the case now.

Congratulations to neighbouring IRELAND who now makes the 'Countries successfully beating Covid-19' list. Also shout out to Mongolia which has had ZERO deaths despite neighbouring China. Big respect!

Some of the graphs on that seem a bit suspect - how come Paraguay have been classified as "Winning" even though their cases seem to have surged in the past week (as as a lot of South America, unfortunately). Also not sure why Kosovo are "Nearly There" when their cases now seem to be at their highest. Will take Ireland's victory for sure.

The actual numbers in Kosovo are very low so the graph is a bit meaningless.

There's no scale so some of them look a lot worse than they are. Paraguay had 24 new cases yesterday. Kosovo (at an average of 22 new cases/day) is an anomaly because it isn't recognised by Pointless as a country ! :P

This graph seems to just look at daily cases right?

As a lot of countries that are "nearly there" seem to be doing a lot better than portrayed when you look at deaths and hospitalisatios

But can that be trusted? Im not sure.
