Does anyone else worry that these packages left at the doorstep for the most vulnerable are just going to be stolen by idiots?

It's fecking infuriating.
13500 cases in the US!! US really ramping up those testing numbers. Great to see!
I still can't tell if I fall into this category or not
Which wont work. He's stuck with the ridiculous charade of playing the political bumbling pompous clown for his whole political life and ,when the shit hits the fan as its so evidently doing now,he has to live with it.
Same. It's really vague in places.
My mom got from social media that the virus can get on your shoes and you should leave them outside home, is this true?
The virus can get on your clothes, do you propose to strip naked before entering the house?
Best practice would probably be go shower after you've been out.
You don't need to. If you do you'll get a letter.
My clothes don't contact surfaces when I go outside.
Yeah but we're understandably stressed about whether or not we're getting one.
Apparently their (worldometer's) figures are wildly inaccurate for some reason. NY State have announced around 4,800 new cases today, not over 12k. Still represents an increase though.
But the UK are following the 'science'
Guarantee the This is Fine meme will become the 'but I'm following the science' meme in the next few days and weeks.

Thankgod,
28,000 people died from flu in 2014/15 in the UK alone. On average 17000 die on average every year in the UK from flu.
And?
Yay,another Flu comparison.
Watching the 6 pm news and the scenes from across the UK are so scary . Every park or garden is full of people , everyone's enjoying a nice sunny day . People really don't have a clue and England will soon have it worse than Italy

144 new acute respiratory outbreaks have been reported in the past 14 days:
109 outbreaks were from care homes where seven tested positive for SARS-COV2
15 outbreaks were from schools where one tested positive for SARS-COV2
7 outbreaks were from hospitals where two tested positive for SARS-COV2
13 outbreaks were from the Other Settings category where four tested positive for SARS-COV2
and
Up to 18 March 2020, a total of 2,626 confirmed cases of COVID-19, have been confirmed in the UK. On-going surveillance has identified 53,595 suspected cases in the UK that tested negative.
These are the only two references to SARS-COV2 / COVID-19 I could see in the report.
Why does the report say 2,626 confirmed cases of COVID-19, but only detail 14 of them?
53,595 people thought they might have COVID-19, but they didn't. What was wrong with them?

Moron.
I am meant to be in work in the morning. I had a hospital appointment last week where I was told I was, but haven't received a letter. No idea if I should be going in tomorrow or not.

Ouch
Imagine how stupid you have to be to genuinely think it makes sense to compare yearly flu death figures to the current death toll of this virus.
I don’t think that is it at all. Personally I think that the decision to lock the country down has already been made.
The government are implementing smaller steps over a longer period rather than a singular large jump in one go. Rightly or wrongly it’s being done to allow the country to digest the measures more easily.
Also when we do get the total lockdown (in the next couple of days imo) he can lay the blame for the drastic action on the people that didn’t listen to him initially and continued to ignore the governments requests.
The term is covidiot.
The message said the letters would be sent out from Tuesday next week but to carry on as the current advice suggests. If you have already been told to self isolate then you should do so.
It was understandable weeks ago but at this point, you have to be living in a bubble to not know how serious it is.
I forgot to attack the post.Ouch
I don't think this is true. I think it's the people in a bubble that do understand. Most people think things will be back to normal soon.
650 people died In Italy alone today of it, that's a rate of over 230,000 a year, assuming it doesn't keep increasing.
A very simplistic way of looking at it for sure, but somehow less simplistic than yours. You're comparing yearly statistics to stats for just a couple of weeks, in a sistation that is still getting worse by the day.
You cant think that this is just a flu and will just disappear in a week or 2 and we'll just get back to normal
