Meanwhile, the government has said members of the Armed Forces will help ensure essential items like groceries can be delivered to people who are at-risk.
Dr Paul Johnstone from Public Health England said:"The NHS are contacting the people who are most vulnerable to developing a very serious illness as a result of Covid-19 with specific advice to stay at home for at least 12 weeks. "Those of us who are less at risk can play our part in protecting other people by following the government's advice on social distancing and volunteering to give extra support to vulnerable people who are staying at home."there are more than 5,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK.
bbclaurak And on mother’s day LiarInChief BorisJohnson visited his elderly mother although pontificating about it being dangerous! shame on you for offering him cover up!
bbclaurak Has he worked out how many kids he has yet?
R the government going2 help.the vulnerable groups if they do fall ill with this virus ? Strange news this morning on line2 advise medical.staff2only help those.that will.definately re.cover , .how do they know that unless they try, strange now cannot find this information
bbclaurak Is this apathy due to pharmaceutical companies over exaggerating influenza deaths ie 250,000 to 500,000 in order to sell jabs. The bodies are stacking up in Italy, would we not notice 250,000 - 500,000 every year?
Close all non-essential shops in city and town centres and reduce the number of people gathering there. Many young families are seemingly ignoring 10DowningStreet advise and treating schools closure as a holiday. They are not immune and potentially increase virus spread.
If you are not complying with this your are either ignorant, arrogant or stupid. Which label do you want? If it’s your friend... tell them.
bbclaurak Next time you ask Boris a question can you ask him what he is doing to make sure pensioners can get essentials from the stores as the younger folks are grabbing everything before we get a look in, or does he really want us to demise before our time !
Boris Johnson needs to get off the fence and act now to save lives . Yes a lockdown will be hard for everyone but when he just asks the public to stay at home they have a choice. Take away the choice and lockdown is needed to make an impact.
Currently keeping 2 metres away from my mum who lives with us, not as easy to stay away when you all live together
bbclaurak
Sack Cummings . 500,000 deaths possible because of ‘herd immunity’ nonsense.
He would visit the mothers of his children .... but would take more than just one day
Is Boris losing the plot when army coming in to take over
BBCPolitics It's spreading exponentially now because of the decisions Johnson, Cummings and co made at the outset to put economics ahead of lives.
Just ban them and out in a curfew!!!!
BBCPolitics Retail stores are still open ...can you please ask why..
becieeastonn
Hold on, he said herd immunity a few weeks ago. Don't let these turds off the hook for that
Fuck this guy
BBCPolitics Fever hospitals were closed in the 90’s. In Greenwich beds fell from 4,600 to 540. The gvt proposes to modify hotels expensively Hotel chains should build some future hotels so that, in emergency they can be rapidly changed for use as hospitals with additional cost met by gvt. .
Non essential stores need to close asap. People are not listening to the 'advice'. It needs to be enforced. These idiotic clowns are still out shopping in retail stores for clothing footwear etc. All non essential stores must be forced to shut.
It’s my mum’s birthday today, as well as Mother’s Day......she is a pensioner & is at home caring for my brother who has LD & other disabilities - it’s hard for her but the most important present I can give is to not put them at increased risk ☹️
bbclaurak A government doing too little, too late
retrace your steps and put right all your mistakes, no more excuses.
Boris, everyone is out on there jolly's man!!! Seaside's are full, parks are full, kids hanging around in droves in the streets. Closing the schools actually made this a whole lot worse in the end 🧐 timeforlockdown
The amount of idiots in the UK going out like it’s time off work is not going to completely stop without enforcement like France and Italy. This is what the PM needs to do this week
BBCLookEast not good enough...advise is a waste of time....lockdown the country.....
Cheeky bastard - he could have done lockdown ages ago and it’s still partial!!!
Only a mother could love it
If Boris was that serious on the safety for the people in the UK, then Cheltenham Should of been Cancelled . Hes acting After Cheltenham is over.
I know people who think it’s acceptable to visit their mothers on Mother’s Day. Could be giving her more than a bunch of flowers 💐 🦠 mothersday COVIDIOT covid19uk
If lockdown happens, starvation happens..... too many people just have no food to survive on enless the goverment sort something out food delivery wise quickly. More will die of starvation than anything else.
My prayers and love 4 the British people. Be safe and stay strong!
BBCPolitics It accelerates cos of Johnson's inaction and dithering
He should become US Pres next term! lol seriously I mean. .
We're already too slow and shut have lock down Keep your space If we had a leader he would have done it but we have an idiot
Carry on with spreading fear.
We need to be in lock down . Stupid people are not listening to advice . Act now BorisJohnson
2 weeks too late. I’m hiving with it. My child is the source. His school was in Italy. He wasn’t. He was not deemed a problem. He has stayed at my mums when he appeared better but he only had fever. I’m on day 12. Maths says I incubated for 11-12 days. I’ve viral arrhythmia now.
Nobody’s listening Boris. Get tough. Never thought I’d say that.
BBCLookEast No chance of seeing my daughter as I'm busy selling fuel.
*Mothering Sunday
Panic this weekend yet last weekend the message was 'wash your hands'. Johnson's bluster and smart arse lies not so handy in this situation.
The same Boris who aborted two of his own Children. Did anyone know he was baptised a Catholic in New York..?
He doesn't tell the Truth Ronjo
A father who said he would ignore official advice and still got to the pub. A PM who on Friday said he would see his elderly mother on Mothers Day. Why should anyone pay heed to Boris Johnson when he and his family ignore official advice? The mistrust in this PM grows every day.
Aside from the fact we should be avoiding contact with each other, what are we in need of most? Doctors and nurses, beds or ventilators?
For over 3 years large have been blathering on about Spirit of the Blitz, Dunkirk spirit (when they weren't even alive then) & yet can't follow basic advice. They would have been total failures in WWII, whining about pubs shut, raiding shelves. Enforce a total lockdown now.
Can the explain, why when we are being told to self-isolate. That the prime minister needs to address a room full of reports. I'm sure this could be done over the internet?
BBCPolitics BorisJohnson stop telling us all to be ‘heroic’ and flipping well order people to stay in and social distance. Stop trying to be charming and persuasive and just kick arse! Police and army can help. People are not heroic, they’re wankers. Treat them like that.
Devastated to not be giving my Momma a big hug tomorrow - if anything else, I really need it. Hopefully by next Mother’s Day, this one will be a dim and distant horrid memory.
Many people are about to die in this country due to his, Whitty, and Vallances inaction when they were being told by everyone else to take immediate action. Shameful.
BBCPolitics Just impose a lock down it will be hard but 14 days pain for everyone could save many lives. Now is the time to act. BorisJohnson
What an absolute mess. This man was until very recently talking about it being fine to continue to shake hands, let the virus infect 60% of the nation, and we should take it on the chin, when every other country was closing down, and taking extreme measures.
Non essential shops will be busy Monday. People are not listening. Time for a lockdown. Two weeks. Let's contain this.
BBCPolitics Aren’t we supposed to be all taking it on the chin?
BBCPolitics People really need to start taking this thing seriously and start self isolating. The nonchalance of some people is very telling and it’s putting lives at risk
BBCPolitics Stay at home 🙄 StayHomeSaveLives coronavirusuk Covid_19
Ban all flights
Can fuck off , I'll no be doing a thing they say . Might sound irresponsible but why should I do what they ask when they have screwed us self employed right over .
BorisJohnson this is your Churchill moment and your screwing the pooch this statement is confusing must I lock my mom in a wardrobe on mother's Day and not see her or not travel to see family. Take the tough decision be decisive be clear.
do you remember him telling us we needed immunity and gullible stupid laura kuennesberg telling us the science had changed turns out it wasn't true who would have thought it
The government should close unnecessary retail shops. Clothes and furniture etc are not essential to a lockdown, the shops being open only increase populous interaction and the spread of COVID-19.
Oh jeepers whilkers, no you di'nt! Don't do this, unless you are willing to PRECISELY identify the RT-PCR test used for confirmation, Otherwise, this is no more than fascist propaganda.
TBH: this has been entirely predictable for weeks. RoryStewartUK got it right sometime ago and should be leading the UKGovernment response to COVIDー19
wise of him.. no forcible directives
