It's just as well they do care for the business community given the massive tax take from the City as I've heard this might get pricey.

This medical advisor is hoping to delay the peak until later in the summer, so they're going for the 'get it, recover and have immunity' stage

The idea of going on one of those cruises fills me with dread bit like a floating care home, I'm not ready for that yet if ever

Unbelievable. Keep washing hands and don't go on a cruise if you're unwell.

This will cost Boris big time within a fortnight

I heard an ' expert ' being asked that very question this morning -

Well , the question asked was ' Can you catch Coronavirus twice ? ' .

He answered ' Well , you can certainly catch it once ' . :D

What do you want him to do? What's in it for the government if this goes pear-shaped?? They are clearly acting upon expert advice.

'Something must be done' is a very dangerous phrase!

I'm confused personally. I get they are following 'The Science' but how is our 'science' so different to other developed countries. Are we the only ones getting this right? I hope so but I cannot see it.
