I don't see any reason to believe leaks via Peston as representing the future any more than random people on Facebook tbh. Even if he does have sources, policy and policy direction changes hour by hour.

France is filling up rapidly just like Italy at the start.
300 now in ICU beds and half of them under 60.
Lithuania & Israel also closing all non-essential venues.

France shuts cafes and resteraunts bars cinemas and clubs, food shops pharmacies and banks will remain open.
Spain has moved to further restrict travel.
Italy continues with its lock down, Rome has Chinese advisors now (from Wuhan) who are recommending early detection and isolation.
Pretty much what I have been recommending for Britain.

Even if it's true it's a cunt's trick leaking it. Just going to lead to more panic buying and hoarding, which will disporportionately affect old folk; as well as undermining the effectiveness of whatever measures do happen.

US former Surgeon General explains nurses and doctors are reusing masks:
They also don’t have enough personal protective equipment. The doctors and nurses are having to reuse masks which they know is risky but they have no other choice. They are worried about running out of gowns and gloves as well. (5/x)
I was very naive I assumed that because of swine flu and MERS scares there would be a huge store of masks.

Indeed, I don't know much about ventilators but I expect they are quite complex to make and complex to use also
I don't think my employer has the skills to make a complete ventilator but perhaps we could make some components.

Just read something about someone being reinfected in Japan. How does the herd immunity plan work if that is possible?

Austria banning gatherings of more than five. Presumably there's no large families in Austria. Chinese probably kicking themselves "we could have said 3!"

Over the border in Vietnam they have set up disinfectant showers in the street (a little eerie to me given European 20th century history, but I’m guessing they aren’t filled with zyklon b)

WATCH: Extraordinary measures issued in Vietnam to contain coronavirus
CORONAVIRUS cases continue to rise across the world with over 150,000 infected people confirmed so far and almost 6,000 deaths. With 53 confirmed cases, Vietnam has issued extraordinary measures to contain the pandemic.

Gatherings outside residences.
Here is data on 8000 confirmed cases in Korea:
Worth noting that 10-19 occupy 5% of those confirmed positive and are thus liable to spread.
Those in their twenties are 28%.
Some virologists on twitter speculating the younger the person the longer incubation the period.
The only reason South Korea has been able to hold back the rise of cases is their extensive social contact tracing where these people have been and quarantining their families and associates.

Not my field at all but I'd assume modern manufacturing facillities were pretty product-specific. Oh, and they're all in China. But I'm sure that won't be an issue.

Apparently there is a massive tunrover in acute nursing staff (not surprising really considering it is probably super high stress and involves watching people die) - my point being there must be a lot of trained ex-acute nursing staff out there who now work in other areas of the NHS. In addition, if you think of this as a war like situation, with sufficient work instructions on a highly specialised role i.e. how to keep a ventilator operating, a full nursing training is probably not necessary.

Britain still makes cars, aero-engines, and weapons. All of which require a high degree of precision engineering.

My mum is an ex acute care nurse, now a psych nurse. If you want to tell her she's to go back on the wards with her bad knees and two years from retirement*, good luck with that.
*bearing in mind her retirement age, like countless women in her age bracket, was increased by six years in one go so she should be retired already.
