Not seen such Bravery!
The French added a whole load of fatalities in care homes in a few big "batches".
Ah, thanks. Countries should back date the data so that the graphs make sense, so that both they and other countries can learn more about how lockdowns etc affect the virus.
Oh. I've had the news on in the background for the last hour and didn't see any of that.
Laura Kuenssberg?
Very sad to hear this. Thoughts with you, partner & family.

I gave my more serious comment below my first, and I too have family to worry about. I don't need to point out that I wasn't making fun of you worrying about your family.

His daughter’s name is Laura. Three posts took the mickey out of that point.

Thank you to all NHS workers..... teachers, delivery drivers, police etc etc goes without saying.
I would never call a health care worker low skilled... Didn't the government classify anyone earning less that 50k (or whatever the figure was) as low skilled? Stupid to base it on salary.
NHS workers should be paid more and get more credit. I am glad to see it happening now. I just hope it carries on and their pay is increased. I just hope their efforts aren't forgotten in a few months.
Apologies, no offence intended. Everybody is worried about friends and family right now.

strong and stable with me, or...
If you are worried, imagine being in America, gun sales have broken all records, I’d be more worried about getting shot than the virus. Love thy neighbour, but shoot him if he tries to get your big rolls...

No sh*t.
No they didn't. It's not like Laura is a silly name or something to take the mick out of in the first place. He posted about 'Laura', but hadn't included any context to say whom he was referring. I simply joked whether he meant Laura Kuenssberg. That's not rude of offensive or disrespectful. His daughter appears to work for the NHS (or similar) and I added to my post that my wife also does, by way of explaining that I knew what he meant really, and that I also know what it's like to have a close family member working on the front line.

I must say I didn't see any of those posts as taking the Mickey. None of them would have been intentionally so. Until it was mentioned by the poster at this point that his daughter was called laura I had no idea
I'd actually assumed it was his Mrs he was referring to, but either way I was certainly not taking the piss out of someone from his family, I was simply joking (lightheartedly I might add) about the fact he used their first name as if we were meant to know who he meant.
