This is enjoyable tbf. The thread has heavy wasteland vibes. Extension of lockdown probably the ignition source.

Hopefully, it's been unbelievably boring for the number of posts made. I tried to ignore 4 posters for the first time I tried it and it hasn't worked for some reason.

I don’t think the forum could handle another performance from you like what happened during the wasteland.

The whole weekend death reporting thing makes it hard to get a clear 5 day average for Scotland, but these graphs (we love graphs) look relatively encouraging for Scotland.

For the UK we're as well just tippexing out the dates on Spain's numbers

Day 3 of concerning symptoms for myself. High temperature, sore/foggy head, general fatigue, a weird and ominous sensation in the throat which suggests that a cough may be in the offing. This is not hay fever. Pray for me.

Wait for the sweating at night, that's the highlight. Pools of sweat and wet towels in the morning.

Looks like Bojo might pull through after all. I for one think it’s good news for the country, the fallout and the media circus that would have occurred in the aftermath would have been awful for the country IMO.

My 12 year old had an upper respiratory tract infection on christmas eve for a few days. Bad hoarse cough and a temp. Mrs b think’s it may have been this, but i am not 100% convinced. 

Would you and the missus not have caught it too if your kid had it?

Government seems to be determined to  try to kick the testing issue into the long grass.

Hancock setting a target for the end of April. Presumably hoping that infection and death rates would have greatly improved by then,

so he'll be able to brush past the testing thing.

Yesterday, at the daily No 10 briefing, Whitty ( Chief Medical Officer )  stood there and said...

that Germany got ahead in terms of coronavirus testing, and that the UK must learn from the German response to Covid-19.

This was about the last thing the politicians want to hear, and I wondered if Mr Whitty would be seen again soon.

Sure enough, at today's briefing Whitty was missing, and another medical person  was up there.  He tried to discount what Whitty said

yesterday.... blah, blah.., oh, testing is just one of many factors.  

Looks like Whitty, the medical guy,  uttered the first honest thing I've heard in a while from the revolving talking heads at these briefings.
