Thought people weren’t allowed out to their second homes.

The rich and famous getting tested so easily is a fucking joke.
I'm as pro royal as they come, got a Beatrice and Eugenie mural on the bathroom wall, but in what world is Balmoral not a huge house?
Weather is trolling the country.
And encouraging the idiots.
I'm working in the garden.
My downstairs neighbour just took delivery of a fucking ten foot palm tree. Doesn't he know there's a war on.
The update from Imperial’s modelling is encouraging. Basically, their numbers have been right so far, and we can expect to see a reduction in new cases in 2-3 weeks. Projected deaths under 20k, possibly way under. That’s taking into account current government actions. They also think we’ll not breach UK ICU capacity, but that some areas will become overstretched.
For context, the worst flu season in recent memory, 5 years ago, caused 44k excess deaths. Of course, we didn’t need to largely lockdown for that to be the case so it’s clearly very different. We obviously won’t be back to normal in 3 weeks and we can’t start opening anything up until we have mass testing and contact tracing capability. But it’s something.
Germany and the Netherlands are both saying they expect their new cases to peak next week. Spain are now reporting more new daily cases and deaths than Italy. Also some new research, analysing 100 Chinese cities, suggesting that warmer and more humid weather does slow transmission.
I wonder, once we’re through this, how much it will look to have been a big city/metropolitan region phenomenon. Lombardy-Madrid-London-New York etc.
I've seen videos of questionable origin claiming to show dead lining the streets in China as proof they're fiddling the figures but might be fake news.
Covid-19 is clearly a Socialist. Nationalised hospitals in Ireland. Nationalised the rails in England. Putting private schools and landlords out of business.
Best I can do is this:

It was a response to a parliamentary committee rather than a report produced.
This looked pretty obvious from the regional breakdown of this country. Everywhere other than London is chugging along relatively fine (with pockets in certain areas), and there they are going off into orbit. It's presumably why Holland seems to be punching above its weight in typical fashion.
All our scheduled testing has been cancelled and the criteria changed for getting one.
The city centre is, and it will have ethnics packed three generations to a house like London as well.
Pretty sure all plagues have had those characteristics.

21 year old with no existing health conditions has died.
Size of that forehead. Something was definitely amiss.
Young doesn't necessarily mean fit and healthy. And this virus has a lottery factor about it. A disease never before seen in humans is going to.
Prince Charles is isolating at Balmoral with Covid-19. Prince Andrew is isolating at Windsor with Jennifer 14
Even flu kills the odd healthy young person. It’s obviously shit, but it doesn’t make the disease super deadly.
Apparently letters are going around to folks so we can have them in case of "lockdown" to show the police that we are essential!

Encouraging. Anti-body tests bought, hope for them to be available next week, online or at Boots.
It does say more about her own ignorance than the nature of the thing but yeah, as you say if it gives some twats pause then so be it.
Did you hear the clip of the old woman saying that over the weekend she'd gone shopping then done something else then on Sunday walked down the prom and sat on the beach and visited a friend etc. and after her and the host argued a bit he goes "So you're saying you're prepared to die for a day on the beach?"
"Yes!"
If it's just a DIY test people purchase and do off their own backs, how would it have any impact? Surely it has to be policed by the government who could then log results and officially accredit those who have had it so that they can re-enter society.
She was a right old cunt. Her husband has just had a stroke, she’s visiting 78 year old mates.
‘WE’VE LIVED OUR LIVES!!!’
You’ll be the first demanding a hospital bed as well, no doubt.
This Brittania lot are going all out to be one of the most hated companies when it gets to the other side of this.
I hope those tests come back more positively than the tests for the virus itself. I'd rather the 'half of us may have already had it' was closer to the truth.
By the sounds of it, NHS workers will get prioritised so they can get staffing back up.

One more week of nothing ahead for me. I was hoping to be back sooner rather than later.
The governor of NY State is on Sky News right now he seems absolutely top notch. This could very easily be the launching pad for a presidential run on this limited evidence.
I said the same thing yesterday. It's such a difference to Trump's addresses.
He's not very well liked in NYC normally and has not been great always but has definitely stepped up during COVID19. At least you understand what he is trying to say and is clear with the message.
Is he Rudy Guiliani-ing it?
His press conference the other day "New Yorkers are no different to you, we just got it first" was awe inspiring.
Went to my car to get Coke Zero from the boot and there was a Policewoman roaming the entrance to the station who, I'm guessing, was there to ensure people using the train actually needed to be doing so.
Look I think anyone saying they're a socialist is an eejit but I mean, firing squads were made to be used on people like this
THE CEO OF WELLS FARGO TELLING ME I NEED TO DIE TO SAVE THE ECONOMY HE FUCKED UNTIL IT WAS A CORPSE?
Hopefully a few slaps from her Tazer have been administered.
He's scum.
Let's hear what an actual nurse who works in NY thinks about how he's doing.
Literally tried to cut 2.5 billion dollars in Medicaid spending 2 weeks ago.
