Massive game changer. MASSIVE.
If we get that, a good % of the population will be free to return to work, and we will know what the real risk to the remaining.

Excellent news if accurate.
Does that then cause a lesser problem in identifying who's who? Assume those who test positive (had it) don't need to be under the same restrictions. Could wear a green armband or something
Then again the unruly yoof would all be out with them regardless
Someone smarter than me can work it out I'm sure

So many logistical questions.

Put a permanent dye on the middle finger of those who have had it. Then if approached by anyone they can respond appropriately.

Governor Cuomo has just done a press conference. He was saying on Sunday that the projections were that hospitalizations would double every 2 days, he now says that with all the measures the State has taken the projection is that they will double every 4.4 days which is good news for New Yorkers as it appears the measures are having an impact on the numbers. He said the theory was that because of the density of NYC the virus would initially spread quickly in the early days but that with people observing the new rules the spread should hopefully also decline as quickly. We can but hope

The well known American restaurant chain called Hooters has had to shut due to Covid 19. They now operate a delivery service. As a result they have changed their name to Knockers
Really? The Supermarkets don't seem to have run out of booze, generally cheaper too - and off-licences being open makes no difference to those in lockdown/isolation.

Welcome news about off-licences. Tesco have just limited me to three cans of Brewdog.
I’m sure they’d allow you to buy three 4-packs, in fact.

Not online. Maybe they would in-store.

The UK as a whole had 43 deaths today, taking the total to 465, Italy reached 463 by Monday 9 March. Tentatively, we’re looking at a more shallow rise in the mortality rate here. As that second week of March progressed, Italy was experiencing 250 fatalities a day.
Spain’s figures were steady, then took off a week ago, going from 107 to 738 deaths a day, in a week.
The talk for the UK is now of a ‘hoped for’ 20,000 deaths if everyone abides by the restrictions applying to them. A week ago, the general chatter was 200,000 to 1.5 million deaths.
Trump, it appears, could learn lessons from the work and discipline in some other nations across the world.

I thought this was supposed to be the good news thread. After Nick Witchells comments I was concerned for our future kings welfare.
"Prince Charles and Camilla will be following governmental advice and isolating separately. It's not a huge house by any means but will hopefully be big enough to isolate yourself within it."

Given that social distancing should mean we hit our peak in about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks, recent figures suggest we should be hoping for less than 20,000, no?

Yes, that’s the best case hope, requiring all the public who don’t need to work to play ball, hand-washing etc.

Wimbledon looks likely to be cancelled so no £45,000 for all the first round losers, who will work for approximately 2 hours to be rewarded for losing or the equivalent of nearly double the average NHS nurses annual pay. Equally no £2.35m for the winners, or the equivalent of 96 nurses full year salaries for 2 week's work (not forgetting the many sponsorship s and image rights they will almost certainly be earning as week). Hopefully when this shit show is over tournaments like Wimbledon and other top level sports will begin to show a little morality in what they pay against all of the key workers who matter so much more to us than any sport star ever could.
