Our MPs are a joke, they really should be educated and held to standards on the use of misleading factoids like this.
Talking about all sides btw.

Add to that, even when things get back to semi normal, certain sections of the media will undoubtedly continue to spread their message of death and fear.

No, but it captured all the headlines yesterday. Job done, I guess.

Still not sure how a virtual beer tasting evening would work mind you. Suppose there's one way to find out. I'm a bit un-nerved by the thought of a Czech dj though
Most likely you pre-order their selection of beer and pick it up or get it delivered. Then all drink it together online.

Like the below, yet dyed in the wool Labourites haven't said a thing about it. Friend of the working man huh?
The future of apprenticeships is in the balance - LSE Business Review
The unprecedented economic upheaval brought by the Covid-19 pandemic raises several concerns for the functioning of the English apprenticeship system, particularly in the medium-term as economic and social activity resumes.

This is one of those situations where state intervention is needed. Some kind of aid plan for SMEs will be needed.

If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.

You dont get that people are concerned how many tests are carried out on a deadly virus, testing that could - in enough volume - prove to be a lifeline out of this crisis? You dont get that people are concerned about how many of their fellow citizens have perished in this virus; a volume of deaths - as other developed (or should I just say 'developed') nations' have shown - that could have been prevented?
Funnily enough, I DO get that interest myself.

TBF the current apprenticeship system has very little in common with the concept of apprenticeship as it used to be, and taking away the guaranteed cash flow from the state was always going to wipe out the firms that had come into being / switched to provide training. Universities are going to be in an even worse state.
Perhaps we could finally return to the much more sensible situation where trades that employ people are responsible and pay for training them (and I emphatically include nursing in that).
Im really interested to see how the home testing kits work in the UK, i know the States are doing them to, are many other countries?. If they work its a really great break through and you would hope they get out to the majority of the population.
Ive been tested myself by a testing team - as its a prerequisite now in work. Not the nicest experience and more invasive then what the guidance shows on the NHS video, i wouldn't trust myself, to do it on myself and its really uncomfortable, so efficacy, competence and compliance would be a worry.
You dont pop them in the post do you - genuinely dont know? If so, seems a bit mad to pop potentially infected samples in the post.

Even Stepford Tories are having hard time justifying the contempt the Government holds the country in.
US regulators approve use of experimental drug to treat coronavirus patients
The Food and Drug Administration acted after preliminary results from a government-sponsored study of remdesivir.

I can see Bruce's point of view too, though, you know. It must be boring for him to have to read the concerns of others over how litle testing is done and how tens of thousands of deaths are being counted. If only we could all turn our attention to more pressing matters - like how three people in the Czech Republic have been caught in a park swigging a bottle of Budweiser.
Looks like we will have informal advice in certain public setting on wearing face coverings after lock down:

Public guidance on wearing face-coverings 'in certain scenarios' due in next two weeks
Face coverings could possibly be advised for use while on public transport or in retail settings.
