It is a u turn, it isn't that long ago he was saying "take it on the chin"
It is a u turn, it isn't that long ago he was saying "take it on the chin"Not sure it’s a U turn Sick Boy. We knew these types of measures were going to come in, it was just when and to what extent. Every country is updating and ramping up their responses (pretty much on a daily basis) dependent on their own data, requirements etc
What I was shocked at is the encouragement to avoid any unnecessary social contact (avoiding bars, restaurants etc) with immediate effect. I was hoping this could be avoided with the exception of elderly and those with pre- existing conditions. The impact of this is huge !

I'm amazed to hear that things are so chaotic in the UK.
I would have thought with everyone over there constantly criticizing Donald Trump's handling of the situation in the US that everything would be proceeding perfectly smoothly over there.
Can’t even do that now....

Going into Uni’s to try and get not only doctors but also nurses pushed through ASAP so they can go straight onto wards.Fifth year medical students at UK universities are now effectively being asked to become doctors. The situation is spiralling out of control. There is a serious shortage of doctors and nurses in the NHS but more worryingly, if this virus does become a recurring phenomenon, then the NHS may not be able to cope.

They won't even requisition private hospitals, they're in thrall to the market at the cost of everybody

No physio/OT being done in most hospitals and they’re being asked to work on wards instead.
My Missus and her team have been moved out of OD and redistributed into other areas of the NHS where they can be more effective in the current climate. She found out yesterday and starts her new role today.
Basically all hands on deck.
I really think the schools will be shut by the end of the week .
In my opinion those doing Gcses should have the mock results and course work grades evaluated to give them their grades , it’s stressful enough but with this added into the mix it can’t be doing much for their mental health . If adults don’t know what to do how can kids

Schools shout be shut in my opinion.
Word has it that the virus doesn't hit children so hard and that they only get mild symptoms.
Fine, but these children catching the virus are then going home to adults who are much more likely to have health issues and be at risk, and who may well have been avoiding as much social contact as possible.
I don't see why we are sending children to school to bring the virus back home with them.

Millions of people won't be able to work and will need to look after their kids. Who's going to pay them?They've stopped kids football. Seems strange to stop them running around with each other in the open air but OK to be cooped up in a classroom.
Of course there is the question of childcare if schools are shut. Lad I work with says he will have to go off if schools shut to watch his kids.

People really could not make it up. For years students on healthcare/medical courses have had their support removed through for instance the cuts to the NHS bursary, though thankfully the latter has been partly reinstated. So basically, the UK has for the past 10 years been operating on the proviso that there would be no epidemics or pandemics, and is now paying the price.Going into Uni’s to try and get not only doctors but also nurses pushed through ASAP so they can go straight onto wards.

I didn't bother to vote because of the choice but there was nothing standout about Johnson whatsoever. It was bad enough having him in charge during something as complex as Brexit, with this thrown into the mix there is reason to be seriously worried with him in charge.Worst thing is, he was the standout option.

No one but don’t worry just “stay safe”
haven't had chance to read this properly yet but there seems to be some good information in there regarding the various strategies available.

So, what is every other country that has shut its schools down doing?Not just this either, it’s how many parents work in NHS and social care sectors (where people are desperately needed). It’s then weighing up the risk of those parents catching it (from their kids if they remain at school) V immediate benefits to the industries if they remain at work. All of this would have to be considered in the modelling I’m guessing
People aren’t looking at the detail behind most of these decisions and just shouting at social media (not you shmmeee/Clint, I’m thinking of others)
So, what is every other country that has shut its schools down doing?
85 countries have closed their schools. What about all the parents working there?
Yep that’s the choiceNot good reading. Basically we shut down for 18 months or quarter of a million people die.
