Are you seriously saying panic is happening with only 950 more cases detected, and another low of 69 deaths, dear god. The way the media are reporting this it's no wonder people are panicking.
Cases have been rising for weeks yet the most important thing hospitalisations and deaths are going down every long as we don't see an increase in those figures then I have a feeling we ll be ok

Dixons Carphone to get rid of 800 managers across UK storesDixons said it was axing jobs to create a “leaner” management structure in its stores I don't suppose the managers that keep their jobs will receive an increase in pay to account for the additional responsibilities associated with this 'leaner' structure, will they?
