Cheers for the detailed answer. Seems difficult to get a perfect seal on a mask, I guess if they catch/block even a single particle it's something.

Yes.
Anyone but themselves.
And they know that millions of gullible people will focus on PL footballers.
A complete distraction. As usual...
I pray everyday for this country tbh, either a miracle happens or a real carnage, nothing in between
Not defending the Tories in any way but nice to see that socialist principles do not extend to overpaid footballers when non playing members of staff in some PL clubs are already being put on furlough. I suppose next you will be saying that someone like Branson is quite entitled to protect his own wealth and put the burden of assisting his staff onto the government.
Of course it was a shallow remark for Hancock to say but he was quite right to say it. Anyone with a great deal of wealth should be extending a helping hand to those in real need.

I remember a lad when young who just had to be around people. He could not live without talking to people. So every day he would be over at my house in the summer. I was fed up with him coming over all the time.
Some people just go mad if they are not out and about.
I love being alone in contrast.
It's more about scapegoats and taking people's attention off the real issues.
I can definitely see it going up to 25%.
MI5 will be around you're house tomorrow now that you've revealed you're real reasons for clapping.
Has there been any reporting on the second wave of corona cases so far?
Because people are trying to make themselves feel better that they voted for fecking the NHS over.
It's far cheaper to clap than to pay more in taxes.
My sister got briefed today on how to prioritise patients for ventilators and all round help. She's in bits.
I mean I won't go into details as we can all guess, but feck me the people who still don't think this is a real bad situation....

Where does she work?
Not quite sure that's the only issue to be honest. More or less as soon as the football was suspended, none playing staff, caterers etc were left without income, while footballers and management still took full salary. Its been heavily debated over the last few weeks on talksport that the clubs have not been acting morally in respects to the two tier treatment. The pfa and the fa have been as usual dragging their heels in regards to the situation which has led to individual managers and players having to take the lead rather than be led by the club.
Hancock was asked his opinion about it and gave his answer, i see nothing political about that
A major hospital in East London. She's a head nurse and basically in charge of her particular unit.
What's also grim is they are a major trauma unit, but there's no testing at all and they have to treat every patient as if they have the virus.
Introverts and Extroverts. It’s about where you get your energy from.
Some recharge by being sociable. Others recharge by being alone.
Sadly, some people aren’t always very forgiving of the latter.
Pretty much yeah. Or that kids are bringing their parents out.
Sorry to hear it, i think it shows just how close the peak is coming for London. Could be over the weekend or early Monday.
Public health England have today once again changed their guidelines for PPE . It's embarrassing how so many changes keep happening and a lot of it seems to be resource based
Your sister has my sympathy. I had to have a similar conversation with my wife. It wasn’t easy.
Peru quarantine 3.
Curfew now extended from 6pm to 5am.
Also, only 1 man from house allowed out on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
1 woman per household allowed out Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Nobody allowed out on a Sunday.

What you are saying is great in theory but not sure how it works in a practical way specially with the country being in a lockdown anyway . If I got tested negative today and met you in the supermarket in the evening and you tested positive tomorrow then not sure how testing made any difference
What’s the logic in splitting by gender?
I assume he's leading the way by insisting that those in his own party take pay cuts and calling for the Tory party's millionaire/billionaire backers to contribute some of their vast wealth?
I've kept well away from discussing maybes about all of this, I've tried to keep clear of all the stats and figures and all that, so I'm not one to be dramatic and share whispers lightly.
But when you hear if from someone on the front line...well you share. When medical staff are being told the hard truth about who they can save and who they have to blatantly let die...I have nothing but total love and respect for these guys. Sadly, after all of this, we'll go back to taking them for granted all over the world.
Husband and wife teams are working around the 1 person per house by standing behind each other in a queue and then joining back up when they get inside the supermarket.
I had a mission to the supermarket today and some idiot family decided to bring their granny in a wheelchair too.
I see, cheers. Granny thing is madness, got to be a lack of education.
On another topic, thought Barney nailed it here.

Can you share which hospital? My neighbour is a trauma surgery nurse and she has been extremely blase about this whole thing from the off. It has really been frustrating to me because of what I've read in here and my ability to at least read data enough to be able to see that this is serious. I'd like to be able to convince her of that but I reckon she'll get dragged into it anyway and see that this is for real.
We are by Whipp's Cross Hospital.
Matt Hancock can only answer the question posed to him. It's the journalists who are the ones obsessed about footballers being paid their high salaries.
It's easy to collect in some cases but easy to avoid in others. Put it up too high and we'll have a much bigger dishonest black economy which is the last thing we need on so many levels. It's a good tax when it's at a rate people are willing to pay but go above that and it's a horrible one, as you say. Wealth taxes, income taxes, petrol taxes.

That's fecking grim. Shouldn't have had to come down to this!
The idea being you do it in a Singapore type way where there is enough testing to catch the person who goes into the supermarket before they get there. If you don't catch them you tandem it with contact tracing so you would be found as somebody who had contact with that person and warned you needed to go into isolation.
The latter would be seen as a problem with human rights here though as it involved an app on your phone using GPS to track your movements and warn you if you had been in contact with a person who tested positive. It's worked crazily well there though.

In case anyone fancies a short trip down memory lane when the tories were screwing over the same doctors who are trying to save peoples lives now.

Why are Italy still getting 5000 ish cases a day almost 4 weeks into lockdown?
Surely by now that should have dropped off a cliff?

True, but when has "the little guy" never taken the brunt of problems?
As another poster pointed out, we had 17.5% vat before the crisis, and I bet everyone thought it would go back to that after a certain period of time - but nope, stuck at 20% and I'm guessing if we do go to 25/30% then we'll never see it reduce.
People pinning their hope on the big companies finally paying their fair share will be sadly disappointed, I dont mind paying for what I get (I'll be getting about £1200 a month during my furlough so £3600 in total - paid at the end of June) so it would be nice of the government tallied what everyone got and just spread that over the next 5-10 years worth of tax instead of blanket tax everyone, that way the NHS staff and other key workers wont be shafted (again).
Took over a couple of months to get to half a million cases.
Took a week for the next half a million.

Seems like much of Italy is infected and the numbers are just going to keep going
That's higher than a 28% increase, no?
