Another promise they won't deliver on

They should be extending it to symptomatic and non-symptomatic.

This is great. Perfect for a first date

I hear O'Leary was talking about masks on R4 this morning too.

Local pre schools confirmed they are opening on June 8th.
No idea on primary schools yet though.

A higher number of suicides and people dying from other causes because of fear of contracting the virus at hospitals would account for some of that.

Coronavirus: Five and overs in UK now eligible for test

Coronavirus testing has been extended to everyone aged five and over in the UK with symptoms.

The four and half-year-olds i often feel are a much maligned group.

Tbf Giles doesn’t seem to be trying to massage anything about UK response

He's probably being paid by the Chinese though to be fair.

No thanks lol

I’m just imaging the mask after the Chinese takeaway we had last night - soup, spare ribs, S&S chicken, chow mein.....I’d look like dracula!

'So tell me about yourself.'

'It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is my plan...'

'oh, how interesting...what's your plan?'

'it is called Herd Immunity!'

'Oh I see...i think we should just stay as friends'

"The bad news is they still are higher than expected because hospital deaths are falling as a share of total deaths".

Odd really. as yesterday's release from the Department of Health and Social Care and Public Health England, 147 deaths in hospital, 170 in all settings

Number of coronavirus (COVID-19) cases and risk in the UK ...

Traffic to Heathrow is down around 95% Joe. I sense you're of the belief that things are much as normal.

I flew to Palma a week and a half ago, Heathrow is dead and you couldn't get through check in (all spaced two meters apart) without a contract of work to prove travel reasons, I saw people being pulled from the line. I had to prove address and ability to quarantine in Spain. The traffic is so reduced that contact and tracing should be rather easy, I've no idea if the UK is set up for that or what landing in the UK is like right now
