From elsewhere.
Despite the sudden announcement of 10 deaths in 24 hours in England, there's no information about the number of cases in the UK. My daughter's housemate came back from Spain with symptoms on Weds. Though he reported to 111, they refused to test and no one has traced contacts or taken any details. He clearly has Covid 19 at this point. But no-one knows or is interested. The virus is being allowed to run unchecked and only deaths are recorded. A BBC news channel said there are only estimates but it's thought there are currently as many as 10,000 live cases of the virus in the UK. No-one can be sure. The government is not keeping proper statistics!!!!!! Everyone calling 111 is just told to self-isolate. My daughter and her other housemate are bound to catch this. It is unavoidable. No instructions have been given that they should isolate too; no-one after a few calls to 111 even asked about the living situation of her infected housemate.There must be millions of people living in multiple occupation in this under-housed Country. And how can people claim sick pay without proof of infection, or because they are living under the same roof as an infected person, who they can't prove has got it and they don't know whether they have? This is nuts! How can they reasonably ask their employer for time off either? My daughter is the Events Manager for one of the Country's major museums and art galleries working with a vast number of corporate and general visitors to this nationally famous facility on a daily basis. Her other flatmate is a local authority music therapist who works with young people with a variety of disabilities and mental health problems on a peripatetic basis - her case load must be what would be called vulnerable! The infected housemate is the manager of a touring opera company. Most of his company must have become infected in Spain, surely? (Spain was locked down this afternoon following 1500 new cases in one day. All incoming planes were turned back mid flight.) Between them by daughter, her housemates and their fellow workers they could infect millions!!!!
Meanwhile, the Irish are trying to co-ordinate their response to the virus but the North has to follow Boris's half-cocked approach, while the South has closed schools and followed the rest of Europe. It is clear to me that no-one is actually doing anything about this in the UK at all. Bozo is guilty, at the very least, of dereliction of duty. His approach is not scientific, it isn't even being scientifically recorded. He is insane He has to be removed from office. THIS CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO CARRY ON. Within a very short time this could develop into a massive and fatal tragedy. Millions will die. Far from controlling some peak on a graph, or slowing it down, the government don't even know how many people are on the graph at all! If this is an example of how we are being managed from the top down, what price the input of the rest of Bozo's incredibly lax and often cerebrally challenged cabinet members and their weird, bullied, anti-social staff? Why is nobody taking this under control? Maybe we need to contact the WHO and ask them to send in a management team to take over? This Tory government have completely lost the plot!
