I am currently concerned that areas like here, which have been low to very low, will fairly suddenly jump in cases if/when lockdown is eased. Given the low level of health facilities, it is all too likely to locally overwhelm services. Someone I communicate with daily lives in a small but...

Emily Maitlis isn't letting them get away with crap. If DC had died, how would Johnson manage? So important, he is essential, yet he was in Durham, apparently almost dying, and the PM apparently didn't even know where he was! (Or was that Domini Craab at the time who should have known?)

Switzerland is there and even Latvia (a pretty darned small country lots of space but low population). But they are beating "world-beating" UK... Coronavirus: First Google/Apple-based contact-tracing app launched By Leo Kelion Technology desk editor 7 hours ago...

I thought it was YouGov or some organisation like that. But odd how soft many of the questions so far have been.

The very phrase that has been floating around in my brain for, umm, days.

But one of the bizarre issues is that Apple phones appear to need sufficient Android phones in their vicinity in order to stay awake (in Bluetooth and app terms) so that they could even possibly work. There are also vast numbers of Android phones which do not run full Google Android but one of...

Surely the wrong department? Martin from Brighton asks whether the government will review all penalty fines imposed on families travelling for childcare purposes during lockdown. It’s a very good question, Hancock says. They understand the impact and need for adequate childcare, one of the...

At least the Apple IOS exposure API is now available. Wonder when any of us will see the Android API?

Not certain which way he is going, but I am not in any doubt Starmer is playing the way he is after having given thought and discussed approaches. See Guardian story. Mid-May was the plan...

Pointless will have good viewing figures today. It's Hancock doing the briefing.

That justification seemed to be because there was pretty much no other evidence or rationale to stop such travel. What is the impact of someone receiving too few copies of the virus to cause covid-19? Does it have any impact on them whatsoever?

Driving to work, if someone expected and able to work, has been OK. I'm not arguing he did wrong in doing so.

I agree the risk on an individual journey is tiny. Yet that rationale was pushed and pushed. I found it risible at the time - and still do. (Especially as so many vehicles have problems, thus requiring assistance, due to having NOT been used during lockdown. Have read of all too many who can't...

I can accept your argument as rational. But we were told, repeatedly, that it was because of the possibilities of accidents and breakdowns - not breakdown of social distancing.

How has it come to this? GP trainee launches legal action against Government over PPE guidance 24 April 2020 Costanza Pearce A GP trainee and his doctor wife have launched a legal challenge against the Government over its guidance about personal protective equipment (PPE)...

That Johnson actually thought it was sensible to jog round buck house gardens today shows his uttter disconnect. I can understand that security issues might have meant one of the parks wasn't a good idea. But this just looks like rubbing our noses in it. We can not only go to Durham, but we can...

It works as a link - but the image is so small and of such low resolution, I can't read it.

Sorry - can't read that. :( Been meaning to check my eyes, will have a jaunt in my car to Cardigan.
