@SpectatorUSA @DouglasKMurray Unfortunately less so over here with our minor elements of the political parties. Some of the statements coming union leaders and local left politicians are truly disrespectful and opportunistic.

"What strikes me now is how, in a nation alleged to have been so low on trust and respect, we have been quietly storing it away even while we pretended otherwise," writes @DouglasKMurray spectator.us/monkeys-bats-b…

@NAChristakis Agree with your death rate. Based on yesterdays statement that evidence suggests single digit exposure means current UK death rate of between 0.8% (1%) down to 0.16% (9%). However we must understand that this is not consistent across social, economic and gender groups.

Probably as many as 40% of humans will be exposed to COVID19 over the next 2-3 years, judging from past pandemics. Not everyone will actually get it. Only some (probably <1.0%) of those who get it will die. The rest will recover. And, almost all of them will be immune. 2/

Let’s talk about what happens if you get COVID19 and recover. Are you immune to the disease? How long does the immunity last? And what does that mean for your life and for the public health and economy of our society? 1/

@joolsheselwood @BramleyElderly @I_M_Shaw @BramleyLabour @kevin_ritchie1 @CllrCarolineG Just a publicity stunt by a political narcissist. Hopefully these left wing self important politicians will be held to account and we can move forward will TRUE labour values. Helping the country, democracy and ALL it citizens, not just those that agree with their views. 👎👎

So this is something I never thought I’d be doing-shopping in Morrison’s at 7AM wearing a mask, helping the fantastic @BramleyElderly get food for older people who are self isolating. Thanks to my co-shoppers @I_M_Shaw , Rebecca Durrant and Phil Mcconnell for making it fun!!!

@alistaircoleman @ed_son Agree we should trust the journalists

I don’t know. Perhaps we should.

@Welshracer @WelshGasDoc You can't the NHS is nearly entirely funded by Tax, money given to the gov to spend on our behalf for the benefit of the nation. Would you give tax money to the airlines, as their main source of income then have no oversight? Agree that it's management should be cross party.

@WelshGasDoc I would like to find a way of making the NHS truly independent from #Parliament and its funding also independently assessed too - bit like what IPSA does with MPs pay and expenses. Take the politics out of health.

@WayneMarlow7 @afneil The standard of reporting has been abysmal. I think the problem is it's an epicily big, slow moving story run by proper scientists. There's no scoop, there can't argue with the science so they are relegated to trying to out fame each other

@afneil Great news. Although as muttered by some BBC correspondence that 'this will be good news for some'! I couldn't believe my Ears!

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been moved from intensive care back to the ward at St Thomas’ Hospital — Downing Street. With luck the worst is over.

@inatiswas_Pip @JRWalsh @LozzaFox

@BBCBreaking @BBCPolitics

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been moved out of intensive care but remains in hospital, Downing Street says bbc.in/2Rr5nK5

@michellejiggy @NeilSaleMCFC @BBCBreaking Three tweets down and the first negative comment about another humans health. Just because they don't agree with the other person's point if view. Sigh......😞

@NeilSaleMCFC @BBCBreaking Well that’s a pathetic comment !

@JCheepnis @BBCPolitics @BBCNews @NicolaSturgeon According to a no. of nat' commentators neither can the SNP. There have (small no.) been SNP supporters suggesting she should be capitalising on the present situation to call for inde'. If only they had been independent and in the EU (oxymoron) how much better it would all be

"No likelihood or prospect" of coronavirus restriction measures being lifted after the Easter weekend, says Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon bbc.in/2XhThH4

@garyshort @MaureenPickeri5 @BBCPolitics Sssshhh don't tell them that it'll burst their echo chamber bubble 🤫

@MaureenPickeri5 @BBCPolitics She has no power to lift or extend the lockdown. A truthful answer would have been to say that she will follow the policy of the UK government.

@jimnarlene @RobertCourtneyX @BBCPolitics If you think we've voted in dols, god only knows what you think of what you've ended up with north of the boarder.

@RobertCourtneyX @BBCPolitics The first minister of Scotland is addressing the people of Scotland, not a hard concept to grasp is it? It's not our fault your country votes in heartless dolts.

@JamieKB4 @marbridmacc @IsabelOakeshott Your allowed to buy what you want. But for those who find rational thought Protein, carbs, vegetables, sanitary (such as toothpaste soap etc). Cleaning products for health, hygiene and safety. Equipment (tools) to enable homosapiens to utalise the above. Simple really.

The devil makes work for idle hands. Police always saying they're "overstretched." Here's what happens when they don't have enough to do.

@ChrisMasonBBC So up to about 5.6 million (9%) which would mean across all social, gender and age demographics a death rate of between 0.8 (1m) and 0.15% (5.6%). Although the less affluent, men and elder populations have a much higher representation within the mortality rate.

Chief Scientific Adviser Sir Patrick Vallance suspects the number of people who may get it asymptomatically could be around 30%. He suspects we are in "single digit numbers" for the percentage of the country that has already had it.

@exposed_drama @thatfruitfulguy @_Awake_Soul_ @Redutd99Rhys @choiyagal @RailDeliveryGrp As you are offering help and advice I thought the following might be helpful. Men and women have the same rights to protection from domestic and sexual violence womensaidni.org

Britain’s train companies have partnered with Women’s Aid on ‘Rail to refuge’ to provide free train journeys to refuges for those seeking to flee domestic abuse during the lockdown. Find out more:

@JamesDart No, democracy relies on those who loose the argument accepting the result. Then building a consensus to chalange the original argument. It does not involve screaming & shouting 1/2 truths, wishing people dead & the denigration of individuals with a different view point.

If you’re being accused of over-negativity and/or point scoring, remember: 1. Democracies rely on dissenting voices holding government to account. 2. The ERG (now in Gov) are extremists. Don’t normalise them. 3. Their errors are costing lives. Speak up. Save lives.

@exposed_drama @thatfruitfulguy @_Awake_Soul_ @Redutd99Rhys @choiyagal @RailDeliveryGrp Definitely an art student!

@BBCNews @BBCPolitics Easy don't listen to the majority of journalists and no social media commentators.

Half of internet-using adults in the UK saw misinformation about coronavirus in first week of the lockdown, figures suggest Here's how to spot false claims bbc.in/2XoGhQ6

@_Awake_Soul_ @exposed_drama @Redutd99Rhys @choiyagal @RailDeliveryGrp 5000 people is not a small percenatage. There have only been 7.5k deaths through C19, small number in proportion.of 62million. To be honest I think you should realign your view of abuse.

@_Awake_Soul_ @exposed_drama @Redutd99Rhys @choiyagal @RailDeliveryGrp Euro research suggests 4-6% of REPORTED aliagation are false, UK MoJ estimates 4%. So if estimated 850k incidents against women, reporting rate of 15%=125k which means using MoJ estimate 5k per year or 100 a week. Only took me 10mins to find UK Gov and charity figures. Simple

@SimonBleasby @RedGrouper @rids42 @HelsBelsZZ @Tim_R_Dawson Well said, nice to see there are others who use facts.

@RedGrouper @paul7161 @rids42 @HelsBelsZZ @Tim_R_Dawson The problem wasn't herd immunity though. It was the fact that they realised its spread was far too rapid for the NHS to cope, hence the strategy change in a fast moving situation. Everyone is going to catch this whether you like it or not. It's all about not swamping the NHS.
