Better questions from the journo's today - not sure they are being answered though...for example no response on the ventilators!!Thank fuck enough journalists knew the right questions to ask. eg the testing of heath care workers.

BBC had this graph but to be fair the presenter and guest did discuss the fact it was misleading because we recently changed the criteria for testing.

For some reason this has made me angrier than anything else so far, why weren’t they doing this weeks or even months ago. We have 5,000 I read somewhere to go round everyone in the UK.I had two separate enquiries today for components of ventilators from engineering companies, unfortunately we can't make the components they were thinking of to medical standard so we had to decline.
You make a good point, it should have been thought about earlier indeed, perhaps it is a detail that fell through the cracks.For some reason this has made me angrier than anything else so far, why weren’t they doing this weeks or even months ago.

A bit hyperbolic there. They are trying to protect them by isolating them from infection, might be a more generous position. They could have instituted these massive restrictions a week ago, but have saved them until the last minute as they are horribly restrictivethis is a murder, they are trying to murder the elderly
You are right about the restrictions. I was actually referring to the low testing numbers, they should test as many elderly as possible.A bit hyperbolic there.

With my following of how South Korea handled the outbreak. Also, fuck off with your patronising tone.With your huge medical experience of global pandemics and how to beat them?

Seriously I understand people are upset and scared but talking about 'culling' or 'murdering' the elderly is untrue and really, really unhelpful.
I'm literally trying to find this out right now. Everyone can give a few examples but no one gives a comprehensive list, and the advice I'm seeing about my condition seems incredibly dubious if it is there at allWhere the hell is the definition of ‘underlying health issues’ ?
You were LOLing London being fucked a while ago. Perhaps you could just give it a rest eh?With my following of how South Korea handled the outbreak. Also, fuck off with your patronising tone.
They are not 'banning' anything it seems but 'asking' or 'advising'...not the strong leadership required one might argue?
I wasn't LOLing, I was being ironic. I am sorry if this came off as a bullshit move, it's far from funny.You were LOLing London being fucked a while ago. Perhaps you could just give it a rest eh?
Nicely done. Our Tower Hamlets one has laid out some ground rules that are mostly being stuck to so far.

It's absolutely amazing that he still did not ban public gatherings. Beyond belief.
You mean like the WHO saying that you cannot fight a fire while blindfolded, test, test,test?
The US has put an Admiral in charge of testing, and 1.9 million test kits are being distributed this week, with millions more to follow.
Meanwhile we're apparently ramping up to ten thousand at some point.
I believe we (UK) will or even can test 10,000 per day, something they are yet to do mind you...
