Just had to go out to get a few items we needed. Seems eggs are almost sold out, at least in Tesco. Has become the grab-product du jour.

Not quite true - seems to be Schengen Area countries.

30 billion is a lot of money. Everyone is saying that. It will have quite an impact. HS2 is heading towards four times that...

Interesting step by the EU. EU plans 'right to repair' rules for phones and tablets European commission says linear growth model of ‘take, make, use, discard’ has reached limit I wonder if the UK will end up accepting non-repairable items which cannot be sold in the EU?

There seems little choice but to do something about Parliament now. After all, we could see votes significantly affected by covid-19 issues (whether severity of illness or isolation). 28m ago 09:23 A second UK MP enters self-isolation The York MP Rachael Maskell has confirmed that she has...

As she fell ill on Friday, how on earth can she/they be claiming she took all the advised precautions? In a statement released by the department, she said: “I can confirm I have tested positive for coronavirus. As soon as I was informed I took all the advised precautions and have been...

Well done folks... No 10 has admitted the NHS 111 online service has been giving out the wrong advice on coronavirus to travellers returning from Italy, as the number of confirmed cases in the UK rose to 373 and a sixth death was announced. Returning travellers from the European centre of the...

Is it people who are thick or advisers? Just saw this: We advise you do not go to the <rugby> match if you have been advised to self-isolate.

I do not believe that CV simply cannot travel further than 1-2 metres. We all know how even a mild zephyr can carry dust, pollen, aromas, etc., far further. Maybe round here the wind is so strong any CV gets blown right across the county?

Has has not yet convinced most of us that he is capable of doing much else.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, ... Johnson's majority slashed to 24 as Tory rebels fire warning shot of Huawei's involvement in 5G The government has won the vote, but it has seen its majority slashed. MPs voted down Sir Iain Duncan Smith’s amendment by 306 votes to 282...

Is there any further clarification of "history of smoking"? Was it an "ever smoked", "smoked in last 1/5/10 years", "smoked right up until being admitted with covid-19"?

Yes - but it was what was still the live data on WHO this morning. Was just saying where I got the information from!

I had the web page still open and this is what it shows: https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situation-reports/20200308-sitrep-48-covid-19.pdf?sfvrsn=16f7ccef_4

20 might be right, but WHO are reporting 7 - even now. (I did check before posting my reply earlier.) Ukraine with 1 might be even better per head. Real point though was, obviously, that the UK is not the best in the European region on a per head basis. Italy 9,172...

The WHO says that Russian Federation has 7 cases - which is possibly the lowest per head for any country in the European region (using WHO's definition) unless there are countries with zero which are not listed.

Honestly don't know. I'm not sure they ever determined what happened sufficiently. (I never saw a PM report or anything.)

I don't think alcohol was involved but partner's sort-of father died in the hot tub. And wasn't found for a while. :(

Just been thinking about domestic fowl - and initially read that as being about a chicken shack (Fleetwood Mac, Chicken Shack, John Mayall, Can't Fail Blues).

I can give you a clear what NOT to do. Claim you have done something you have not done: Matt Hancock, the health secretary, was criticised for claiming on Friday that he had been in touch with supermarkets and that he was “confident” that food supplies would not run out. Several supermarket...
