Good to see infections reduce and deaths lower. I know it’s Monday for the deaths. I think those graphs make very grim reading

The trend is flattening though so that is not good. Bad figures tomorrow and it almost plateaues

On the briefing they have said that childhood transmissions seems on par with or slightly lower than adults

Let's bring quarantine rules for incoming people months too late and yes let's make load of countries exempt anyway.

Was just reading that in The Times, re-read it several times as I thought I was missing something. Not even due to start until next month, literally months behind other countries and we’re already talking about relaxing it.
The quarantining on all arrivals into the UK could be relaxed as ministers look at plans to focus on travellers from high-risk countries.

Which is interesting because the kids haven’t been able to transmit it recently due to being locked down. In the meantime we’ve been getting 3/4/5 K cases a day from the adults. Definitely the right time to let the kids loose then.

It's like they seem to think you can't catch it in a low risk country

Also interesting because Dr G told us it was negligible

Is there any evidence it’s more risky for you as an individual than a footballer to return to work?

Been out and about today for work and seen a lot of people not showing common sense. Regrettably as a biker currently on sabbatical I have to say I’m talking about motorcyclist. Groups of bikers riding around which although not strictly allowed I don’t personally have a problem with. What I do have issue with is though is everytime I saw a group pulled up at services of petrol station all their helmets were off and social distancing was being ignored while they were socialising. Witnessed this about six times today, all people old enough to know better as well.

So yesterday we were being told that the cure will be here in September and today the chief medical officer tells us in the conference "We may have to learn to live with this virus for months if not years,"

Which is it? Stop playing games with peoples hopes.

No one is claiming it is true and its a very optimistic scenario. The face that air travel is seemingly starting to open up next month tells you a more realistic version - no one said this would happen in September

Question to anyone that's had coronavirus.

I woke up in the early hours with a really painful stomach and a case of the runs. It's carried on a bit throughout the day.

It was only after some effortful searching that it looks to be a potential symptom.

Can anyone that's had it verify? I cannot think what I would have eaten that would have given this reaction. It was a really rough morning.

The business secretary apparently said yesterday that we’re on track for a vaccine in September, I assume that’s what the Mail has reported. Today we’ll have to live with it for months if not years. What a difference a day makes.

The testing at Moderna in the us looks more promising. They are running safety testing on a group of 45 humans for a new vaccine tailored direct at SARS2 and made from it's genetic material.

It has passed the safety trials and they have randomly selected 8 of the 45 trial subjects to test for antibodies and all have antibodies present in their systems at levels similar to recovered patients.

Proper testing will start in July and will take months and there is unlikely to be a workable vaccine in 2020 and we still.need to establish how long antibody imunity lasts for but this is actually positive.

Just to see if there's a common denominator...apart of course from their obvious concern for pupils and teachers.

Ernie is trying to get folk to admit they are Labour councils.

The political leaning of them has fuck all to do with anything. They are councils that currently have r numbers that are estimated to be close to 1 and high case rates. It's science rather that any political leanings that are guiding them.

I also looking at his twitter profile photo would politely suggest he goes easy on the gammon gag as his bag eyed, unshaven, shiny pink exterior looks the perfect place to plonk a pineapple on

Yep, send Eton back first.

They have more resources to enable proper social distancing

I don't buy this shit of not reopening schools. Me and my daughters mother are key workers. My daughters been in school all the way through, along with around 30 other pupils.

Not one child has been suspected. Not one member of staff, '( and a lot of them have been in). Its an excuse in my eyes. Why am i able to have contact with people in my line of work (delivery driver), where i am in contact with over 50 people a day, yet teachers can't?. Screams of a cant be arsed till September attitude to me. Education is important.

Luckily my daughter has been taught around 2 hours per day ( shes in reception) so won't struggle, but what about other children who haven't learnt a thing since March?

Open the schools with measures out in place best as possible. Same now with most workplaces. The furlough money and business grants etc aren't a bottomless pit of money. We need to get back to normal asap now.

Sheild the vulnerable best we can, and take precaution best we can and crack on.
