Here are five things you need to know about the coronavirus outbreak this Friday evening. We'll have another update for you on Saturday morning.There are Black Lives Matter demonstrations planned in the UK this weekend following the killing of African American George Floyd in Minneapolis.Matt Hancock urged people to"stick to the rules"He said he was"appalled" by the death of George Floyd"but we are still facing a health crisis".
British Transport Police had concluded her death wasn't linked to the incident. But it has now requested the review after more than a million people signed a petition about the issue.Following the news that it's going to be compulsory to wear a face covering on public transport in England, it's been announced that they will beVolunteers from Transport for London and the Greater London Authority will be handing out more than a million coverings at Tube and bus stations from Monday.
After suffering with covid symptoms for over a week, given 2 lots of antibiotics by the dr and told not to self isolate, I have just learnt that my coronavirus test results are missing. I may have infected hundreds of people. Wonder how many other tests are missing?
seen more people wearing masks and offering hand sanitizer & gloves to ppl at protests than ive seen in general anywhere else during lockdown. nevermind the organisers reminding people to shower as soon as they get home and self isolate afterwards 🤔
Where was the ‘warning’ when people flocked to the beaches? Where was the ‘warning’ on VE Day? Why’s the government so keen to get people on cramped public transport again and back to work? The government doesnt care about the pandemic. They just want to dismantle any opposition
Atrocious journalism.
They’re WARNING. They didn’t say the deaths were due to the protests they’re warning that these can and will cause a lot more confirmed cases and deaths
Fk you BBC news
This is effectively propaganda, I’m appalled at the immediate hypocrisy of this news outlet and it’s audacity to point toward BLM protesters... While opening parks, pubs, hotels etc., for touristic influence is acceptable?.. BlackLivesMattter
RACISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Change this photo. These people are out here protesting against systemic racism that you are perpetuating.
Where was the conga warning? Where was the clapping in large groups for the NHS warning? Where was the Cheltenham warning? Where was the picnic in the park warning? Where was the beach warning? Fuck the tories first and you right after.
Really bbc? You gonna show a black man protesting when the states reopened a week before that and is what is the actual caiuse of the corona spike?
Racism from the BBC.
But where was this warning around VE day when people were gathering in crowds in the streets? Or the past few weeks when everyone's flocked to the beaches? But no, even though there are still big crowds at the beach, the protesters are the main problem.
No one cares
iT’s tHe PrOtEsToRs FaUlT. fOrGeT bEaCh GoErs. More people went to the damn beaches then the protests but let’s blame the protestors as they go against your government agenda. I live in the South West and cases have skyrocketed due to people’s bringing their selfish asses here
We know you lying, just give up
We gonna talk about police having to close McDonald's due to the crazy queues?
Hey, remember how COVID-19 has a well established incubation time of 2 weeks evident from plenty of evidence? And all those crowds of folks flocking to the beaches and not being stopped with all this lovely weather the UK's been getting the last few weeks?
Excess deaths in London are already rising. A second spike which began BEFORE the protests.
✨🖤 Fuck you BBC🖤✨
Using an image of black protestors in the context of Britain’s Covid-19 death toll is, at best, utterly tone deaf, irresponsible and likely to harden existing anti-black racism & bias in Britain. Shame on you, BBC.
There was a secret rave in Liverpool recently. That seems like more of an issue than protests.
People are dying despite COVID. These protests are changing everything.
Biased as hell, disgusting work here. Not a single mention of the packed beaches two weeks ago or any of the many other examples of folk ignoring these rules. Why don't you just admit it's because these protests make the Tories uncomfortable.
:/
hmm
Dickheads doing conga lines on VE-day warning as Corona virus death toll rises
Your news is trash
This you
Let me get this straight.. you want to criminalise those who are protesting peacefully for their rights and the rights of others? But it’s okay for people to swarm the beaches and break social distancing when this is clearly NON ESSENTIAL. make it make sense.
Boost
Takes around 2 weeks to see the cause and effect relating to people catching covid and events. Even longer to see any covid related deaths
And the beaches and the parks and the barbecues?
Interesting thumbnail choice there mr bbc sir
Racists.
But going to the beach, ikea, doing the conga is absolutely fine.
Remember VE Day?🤔
Boo at your choice of image selection.
Do not put the onus and blame on people fighting for their right to live Blame incompetent hand's-off government And if you're *still* going to put optics on the protests- BLAME THE POLICE. The reason why they're out there in the 1st place? & then defund them Abolish the police.
Remember, Guys when the whole world was already on lock down. Boris told us to sing happy brithday & wash our hands.
The media was waiting for the Right time to strike. If there were no protests, they wouldn't have told us these numbers.
Did you forget the full beaches
If they were protesting in Weston Beach would they still be to blame?
Stop your bullshit
Should we have protested over a Zoom call or?
You chose an interesting header picture here of protestors wearing masks and standing far apart. Why not show the schools, beaches, and other places that are now open?
Hi , here are some images you could have used to illustrate the 40,000 deaths. Is there a particular reason you used black people fighting for their lives as opposed to white people doing stupid nonsense to illustrate your point?
where was this energy for the people at the beach huh? just say you’re racist and leave
Police in the UK don’t kill people but will no doubt be exposed to these gibbering idiots screaming and spitting in there face because some guy got killed in the US. FFS AllLivesMatters
Tonights update is that I don't believe a word that you tweet
Protest at home by donating and positively using social media platforms. StayAtHome savelives help the nhs
Nobody should be protesting. Didn't happen here. Why not protest all the rapes committed by asian grooming gangs?
Helping the Government lie is not a good look and is overtly obvious to the British public.
We have less than 1% of the world's population, but more than 10% of the world's COVID deaths. Take your tongue out the government's ass and start speaking truth to power.
Warn the people who have been congregating in parks and beaches over the last few weeks
The government were warned that the death toll would rise but chose to ignore,
Let's all hope it is only them and their loved ones that die
Enjoy boris and his clueless government.
protests should be banned when were in a health crisis all its is doing is inciting violence and social disruption putting lives in danger when the country is in a bad way anyway suffering from covid19
Is time . Enough is enough.
The BBC headline is misleading and inflammatory.
Oh aye, but doing the conga and going to the beach was just fine and dandy. 🤔
Yep, definitely the protesters that are going to be to blame for a rise in infections, and not the incompetent inaction, confusing messaging and rank hypocrisy of our inept government that caused us to have one of the world’s highest death rates before these protests started.
Yet you still haven't shown the violent protests or the clear breaches of social distancing from the protests. scummedia mediascum
UK & US are tied for worst leaders in time of coronavirus pandemic & racial protests. Predictable with such unfit leaders.
If 13,000 have not been recorded then doesn't that make it 53,000 dead instead?
But you can go to B&Q? Insulting.
Would it be okay if they protested around Barnard Castle? Asking for a friend with poor eyesight.
Are you seriously still trying to convince us about the virus lol. We are past this hoax now. Deep state bbc about to be exposed to the world
seems sensible. all gather in a small area to protest catching a really contagious virus. What good is that going to do apart from put up numbers? Wonder if we are seeing BH spike just now.
More I think due to government response than people protesting another real life, life and death situation. BlackLivesMatterUK
This protest was nessesary but the protester need to think about their family’s and grandparents and stop now before it turns from trying hard to make a difference to trying hard to stay alive with Covid 19
