545 deaths announced today.

Hardly tumbling.

Lower than the last couple of Tuesdays, breaks down at 199 hospital, 346 care homes

Still a rolling average of between four hundred and five hundred deaths per day, which is still a fair few hundred off some of our European counterparts.

If we're talking about at least a few hundred people in care homes every day, we could soon see much lower figures because they've all been killed off already.

It's heinous that this has been allowed: 41,000 suspected deaths linked to COVID-19 and that's probably underestimating it as well.

Every single UKIP member and voter should be mandatory for the harvest picking job.

No one else should be allowed to apply before they are made to do it.

Step forward the 'they're over here taking our jobs' brigade to do their duty.

Apparently the Help the Harvest web site has crashed with the numbers signing up. Or trying to.

No idea what the web site is actually called mind.

"Pick for Britain"

that it crashed the moment he mentioned it perhaps sums up the government response to date

From a personal point of view, as in not tests and stuff, the support that me and Mrs R have been provided with has been pretty impressive. DWP and HMRC have been terrific.

Fruit Farm owner George Eustice thinks people should work for free on farms.

I think George Eustice should be fed feet first into a wood chipper.

Think like 6 people lasted longer than a week.

55 New cases in Ireland, mostly in care homes, the chef medical officer has said that community transmission has been suppressed so that's great news. 16 new deaths, this has gone up from yesterday but a general downward trend in both categories.

No idea. Hadnt even heard of it till the news said it went pop. Could have been a crap site, or loads applied to pick stuff. Dunno.

They’re sat there whinging about other people being on the beach with them, when they’ve travelled an hour and a half to do the same thing lol
