BLAME IT ON POTUS

This is really worrying. Some people will assume that government errors are to blame for this situation and to wonder how is it that other countries appear to be ahead of us in this respect? The government needs to be open with us, rather than allowing such assumptions to fester.

Close down this comic. NOW !!!!!!!!

They’ve told us everything there is to know at this point? You’re all just to ignorant & arrogant to understand it... the daily Media questions are predictable and pointless. Shut up, get behind the government and lift the country. SkyNews CNN

And if we had better journalists, who just asked ONE question ... Peston particularly guilty if this today. Rest of the pack, never appear to be able to press and follow - up, too determined to have their 'PaxmanMoment'. Honestly, why on earth were TalkRadio involved anyway?

montserrat2901 Or it tells us nothing. The immunity test is far more useful. There is a very clear purpose to that in that it allows people back to work. Didn't they say this will be ready this week? What are the recovery rates in Germany for those tested compared to those in other countries?

montserrat2901 Where credit is due. The govt is doing all it can to provide ventilators etc. We do our bit by social distancing and staying in. Out of all those tested in Germany how many are positive? What difference has it made to the recovery rate? There has to be a clear purpose to testing

montserrat2901 Out of all those tested though in this country only a sixth were positive. That doesn't tell us if they've already had it or not. Might catch it following week. The treatment is more important. If you have a mild dose you will get over it. That figure is also important. Credit

Former superpowers like Britain and the USA are imploding due to a self-imposed overdose of arrogance and ignorance ...

Coronavirus: UK measures having 'big effect' on social contact - BBC NewsUK's chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance says measures being put in place are 'making a difference' Coronavirus latest: BBCScotlandNews Can we have medical summaries post govt briefings and not political summaries. This is a medical crisis, not a political one. But no clarity on testing and equipment. No details. They should at least provide references for us to look at: list of test options, who, where, when? Amazed somebody asked about confronting China about yet another virus. Doubt it. I find it very troubling that these stats just relate to England. I understand that the other parts of the Union have separate powers but surely we should be looking & dealing with this as the U.K. as a whole?
