Do you know if it's going to be a press conference or just a statement?

Interesting twitter thread.
I suggested elbows should be team leader for this, with 2hats as consultant, some time ago.
What are you supposed to use to clean steering wheel etc?Amazon’s Coronavirus safeguarding advice for delivery drivers/DA’s (delivery associates).

No problem...can you summarise what's 'wrong' with the info?
The stuff about symptoms is wrong (as we will see when the government ramp up the campaign to stay at home when ill).
The stuff about 26-27C is wrong.
The stuff about drinking and gargling is pretty useless (except that you should typically drink plenty of liquids when ill)
The description of how the pneumonia happens is wrong.
The nasal congestion thing is just weird rubbish.
Frankly, so much is wrong that anything in there that might be right is tainted and should be discovered by sources that arent so crappy. So much is wrong with this one that its just like one of those rubbish chain things that people just make up to see it spread.
this one isnt too bad

Is it still impossible for Britain to avoid an Italy like outbreak?
Would not the earlier shutdown of events, the distancing and working from home wherever possible, and the like - other measures - not likely reduce the overall level of our own outbreak?
More really frightening stuff from Italian hospitals where staff are having to make decisions about who gets intensive care and who doesn’t. Message is that to avoid these horrific choices having to be made in a couple of weeks we have to make the awkward but less morally difficult one of enforcing distancing now.
instead, some football team from Milan and their fans who can’t play at home are coming to liverpool ?
The Extraordinary Decisions Facing Italian Doctors
There are now simply too many patients for each one of them to receive adequate care.www.theatlantic.com
That is all very well - but I suspect Italy had more cases than we have now before they even started testing for it, so I am not sure I would take Italian advice too strongly.Every bit of advice coming out of Italy i've seen suggests shut downs, social distancing etc as a matter of precaution/prevention NOT as a response to the expected dramatic increase of infections.
Yep but Gov not doing that so far, they are still telling everyone to carry on as normal unless they are ill in which case phone 111.Is it still impossible for Britain to avoid an Italy like outbreak?

we are estimated to be 13 days behind Italy and not taking any drastic measures at all just buying loo roll.That is all very well - but I suspect Italy had more cases than we have now before they even started testing for it, so I am not sure I would take Italian advice too strongly.

So far we have relied on the airlines stopping flights for commercial reasons to restrict incoming individuals from infected areas, there has been slim to no advice from government on that matter, and we still have mass events like Cheltenham going ahead with tens of thousands in close proximity.
It almost seems government will accept mass UK infections before they take further action, rather than moving to stamp it out at an earlier stage while infections are still low.
What I am saying is what about acting now, before we get into that state?..
But what did the Romans ever do for us?
Let's take it on the chin.
