I mean, this government has failed to set up Universal Credit systems in 5+ years. The idea that they were going to set up an efficient trace & trace system in a month was... Far fetched...

God, it's so weird to think that a couple of months ago Italy's death toll was rapidly getting worse and worse, and now the UK is in a position where we have overtaken them as the second highest death toll in the world.

[Vanessa]

I'm glad things are improving in Italy.
As for here, its getting better, but it's taking a bit longer.
But we'll get there.

[MTVN]

Interesting thread on Spains reporting of death figures which explains how they apparently went from over a hundred deaths a day to zero overnight. Makes our governments figures look like the height of transparency

From what I've read, people are basically being paid to watch Netflix for eight hours a day. Sadly it's not surprising, Boris and the rest of the looney tunes just want things to go back to normal and they want to do what they originally proposed, sacrificing the vulnerable by using the excuse of herd immunity. Track & Trace is a facade, it's not meant to work and it never will.

Governments across the world have used every trick in the book to adjust figures to support their narrative at the time.

our RIVM has good contacts with most other governments in europe, what the status is with everyone else, and most give green light now, except UK and Sweden

UK is closed so you can't come on holiday here anyway …. unless you want to walk in park after you have quarantined for two weeks

[Nicky91]

yes of course, UK and Sweden are still in ''code orange'' meaning a negative travel advice


major hotspots like a Spain, Italy are now more in ''code green'' based upon data from last few weeks, how it showed signs of decrease, Spain even more so couple days now without new deaths

Italy already opened up some of their tourist destinations, such as museums and other popular visited locations in the country to their own people and now will also be available again for tourism from other european countries, but still a ban on people from USA, UK, Sweden

well it would appear so, though maybe you should read the post by MTVN above


The UK has a ban on non essential travel currently so not many are going anywhere anyway, nor would most people want to!

Will you go on holiday abroad Nicky with your family?

i more believe spain's data than from a China for example


no holiday plans, more day trips to bungalow parks and then go hiking in forests there nearby (but really we aren't sure just yet what to do, it's all quite difficult)

but no not abroad anymore, even without covid

[Vanessa]

Italy has opened their borders.
You can come from the UK and you don't have to self isolate.
But here in the UK we have quarantine, so I won't be going.

[Kizzy]

A driver came in to work and said he'd had a call from a number stating he'd been in contact with someone from the comany he worked for, except the company they mentioned he had left 10yrs ago.... so yeah, it's going great! :/

Isn't that risking a second wave for Italy?

I believe South Park gave up on parodying Trump because the things actual Trump was saying were impossible to exaggerate.

I hope they're at least checking people's temperature

More or less pointless with a week long incubation period, and the oft-ignored fact that most infected people (probably 70%+ it's looking like) are either asymptomatic or have very mild symptoms - which in most cases seems to mean either a mild cough or a sore throat (no temp).

A friend of my wife (a London ICU nurse actually) had an antibody test recently - came back positive for antibodies meaning she's had it at some point. She did a 7 day isolation about 6 weeks ago... her only symptom at any point was a scratchy throat for 2 or 3 days.
