@11101, what's your take on the situation in Lombardia? It looks like you've had a lot of new cases today, which is a bit worrying.
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Not sure what the point is in having people ask questions when you aren’t going to answer them.
Hopeless.
Fauci warns of serious consequences if US opens to soon.
Yeah he just has no clue and answers with "look, what the government has done is great and this is what we've done..... Blah blah blah. Does that answer your question?".
No. No it doesn't you daft bugger.
Thank you, thank you. I'm here all night*
*I'm not really
It's been including that for some weeks now hasn't it?
Do you mind me asking where the 40,000 figure has come from? Official figures are still around 32,000 aren't they?
Could you post the link to article/source please.
I see they've dropped it to risk level 3, already??
Apparently as well you can go view houses? I can understand getting the later stages progressing eg completion but what about those big families buying? I dont think I'd want random people walking round, potentially touching things right now, especially as I couldn't have my own parents over/ go to their house and not touch anything

It's ONS figures

Excess deaths are actually around 50k so we could be looking at way higher minus a couple of thousand who may have avoided going to hospital for non corona issues.
For most of lockdown, I reckon that the city centre was about 5 to 10% as busy as normal. The last two days have been somewhere between 20 and 30%.
You’re correct in that there are tests that can give quick results. The problem is that you need to be shedding virus to test positive. And it can take a few days after innoculation to start shedding virus (not actually sure exactly how long but definitely > 24 hours)
Russia is exploding with new cases. 10k a day for the past week or so.
Wonder if this will cause strains between Putin and Winnie the Pooh?

Yeah I knew ONS figures had been over 40,000 for quite some time now, the implication seemed to be that official Covid deaths were over 40,000. Guess I was reading into it too much.
Cheers
We haven't really left lockdown entirely yet (but we've never been completely stuck at home either). Some things opened again in the middle of April and then there's a gradual eating of restrictions from Monday and through June. Personally I think we're doing things a bit quickly, but I hope I'm wrong.
That’s just disgraceful really. We’ve been in lockdown for six weeks and the number one priority area during that period should have been safeguarding those in care homes and it’s still not been done. An astonishing level of incompetence.
For all you silly people out there....
Boy did he fluff that question from the member of the public who had recovered from being on a ventilator with COVID-19. Came across as a complete psychopath. Powis seemed pretty stunned that he didn’t even offer token congratulations on recovering and immediately leaped on the opportunity to do that.
They pretty much throw him in on a quiet day when they have nothing to announce and don’t want any attention.
Come on now. If some people STILL haven't grasped the concept of social distancing and some are protesting against the lockdowns or even drinking bleach ffs, you can never take anything for granted. Looks like everything has to be spelled out.As if they'd have to put this guidance out
Really??
So Wuhan not out of the woods yet.

Schools have been open for a while though, right? What’s the story with sports? Any allowed?
Bravo
I will be extremely impressed when in two weeks 11m people will have been tested in one chinese city. While no one else managed to do it in two months.
BBC2 documentary Hospital: Fighting Covid-19 is a good/scary watch
We need to keep an eye on how this develops again because I thought they had stopped outsiders from getting in
From the 15th of April schools up to and including the fifth grade started opening plus the final year pupils of primary and high school. It hasn't been completely normal teaching though. Pupils are two metres apart meaning they've had to have twice as many teachers as all pupils haven't been able to fit inside their usual classrooms. Furthermore, some teaching has been taking place outside.
From Monday the rest of the pupils are back in, now one metre apart.
Monday is also when e.g. football is technically back on however it's limited to 10 players and a coach at a time and you can't use the changing rooms at a given club.
So while things are starting to return to normal it's still with a lot of restrictions.
I wonder what the knock on effect will be for immigration.
Let's wait and see a few more days first, but I definitely think everything is being relaxed too quickly.
The 1000 new cases in Lombardy today also includes 400+ from earlier days, so it's not quite as bad as it looks.
I don't know about that, but people from Wuhan have been able to leave the city for more than a month. So really no big mystery in regards to how it could have happened.
Fair point. Curious if there will be many (or any) reinfected
The BBC "Have Your Say" comment sections really are a cesspit aren't they? Full of angry Tories.
Link? What are they complaining about?
It was depressing seeing all the people out on the streets in Milan over the last week or so. All the hard work done by the health care professionals will have been in vain if people can't be disciplined now at this crucial point.
