Fair do's.

Yeh maybe it was just to ensure people who could claim didn't slip through but all I had to do was put in UTR and National Insurance number. From that they told me I wasn't eligible though there was an option to ask for a review - which I have done. Worth a moan at any rate, ha

What was the reason you were knocked back? I am assuming it must be that you havnt been trading long enough, but maybe not.
 
Tennis isn't a team sport so can you play tennis with someone outside your household where you're both touching the tennis balls?

Players should be able to mitigate the risk by washing their hands before they start and use new, or at least cleaned balls. It's a single point of contact, so is much less of a risk than going into someones house where all surfaces have a risk of contamination.
 
I welcome the governments prolonging of the furloughing scheme, especially as rumours were circulating about it being pushed down to 60% - meaning that those of us in private rented accommodation would have likely struggled to meet commitments.

I do feel like, for the first time, people are starting to realise that the government has mishandled this.
 
WHO says there is "potentially positive data" on Covid-19 drugs

The World Health Organization said on Tuesday that some treatments appear to be limiting the severity or length of the Covid-19 respiratory disease and that it was is focusing on learning more about four or five of the most promising ones.

“We do have some treatments that seem to be, in very early studies, limiting the severity or the length of the illness, but we do not have anything that can kill or stop the virus,” spokeswoman Margaret Harris told a virtual briefing, referring to the body’s “solidarity trial” of drugs against the disease.

“We do have potentially positive data coming out but we need to see more data to be 100% confident that we can say this treatment over that one,” she added.
 
You cant fine people for not wearing something they cant get hold of David.

We have had 1 mask all through this, 1 mask for the whole household, that to be honest we havent even opened due to saving it for an emergency.

I mean my daughter could get some from work, which would mean we are stealing them from the people that need them most, which is something we wont do.

I mean im with you most of the time David, but there arent any masks readily available.
Not strictly true

lol
