Sorry, I was basing it on the line on the government chart (shown on the news) that appeared to be over the 400 mark.

I follow a guy called Ganesh Ranganathan on Twitter who tracks the data daily, breaks it down a lot better than the Gov, he reckons the hospital average could fall under 200 by the end of the week if the numbers continue to come down

LOL.

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

Believe she is on Durdle door beach right next to the “door” which is where the steps down dump you - so if she and a couple of others immediately plonk their beach towels down difficult for anyone to get past. She could of course have walked 10 mins down the beach and had all the room she wanted.

The steps up and down are narrow and steep though so gawd knows why you would choose to go if people walking close by bothered you.

We're getting there.

Dr Tony Holohan: 'We have effectively extinguished the virus from the community'

Community transmission is ‘very, very low’ says the chief medical officer.

Hahaha, seen this today, she just can't compute that she's actually part of the problem

Sense of entitlement on her like.

COVID police reporting advice:

Thought I’d see if the opinions on here marry up with mine. Basically a friend of mine flat shares and the person she shares the flat with regularly has her gf come round to stay by falsely abusing the regulation that says you can move to a friends house for a few days after an argument to “cool off”. They see each other outside the flat without social distancing and go to their parents houses etc.

I said they should definitely tell the police because they’ve asked them to stop bringing that person round but keep saying it’s a cooling off period.

Am I right/wrong?

I know right it’s a well naff situation. Feel so sorry for her. If it was me I’d have given the flat mate the arse kicking of a lifetime.

That’s not true. They include care home deaths in their daily figures, but only if the patient was tested.

What’s your actual point anyway?

My point is our government has messed some stuff up badly. People are going over the top though. Pretty much every European country has handled their care homes really badly. Yet, you'd come on here and think it's just us.

Likewise with PPE, we have had supply issues. Every country has had supply issues.

Yet people still act as if every other country is fine.

There's a lot of things the government deserves stick for, but it needs to be balanced.

Not every country tho is it mate, Germany have managed quite well, why are we not allowed to hold our Government up to as higher standard as Germany?

Why should we shrug and say "Most other countries have morons in charge".

Yeah there’s plenty they deserve stick for, with care homes being near the top of the list.

The British Public, ladies and gentlemen

Haha

I saw that on the news a day or two ago and uttered the words "gormless bloody cow" out loud.

I didn't actually say bloody, but you get the idea.

Would you be doing it if it were a Labour government performing so badly
