Coronavirus - is enough being done to contain it?

Spain reported 0 deaths yesterday. This is the first time since the outbreak began.

Another about turn.
At the start of the epidemic we were advised not to take ibuprofen as a pain killer for Coronavirus.

Now it’s being trialled in hospital patients to see if it can help ease breathing problems.

We have passed 50K deaths in Britain

Shame on the Govt for not tackling this a lot sooner

From the 15th June, it will be compulsory to wear a face mask on public transport.

Business Secretary Alok Sharma was unwell today.
If he tests positive for Coronvirus Boris may have to self isolate for 2 weeks.

Yesterday we were told this. See how easy it is for all these messages to get mixed and mis-understood.

^ Focus on the small inaccuracy to distract from the main point. Boris would be proud

If he's ill, he's ill. There's nothing mixed or misunderstood about that.

It’s just been reported that he’s tested negative. See the government can get test results back within 24 hours when they put their mind to it

Yes your correct it was late yesterday and not today. Big mistake.

Here is another fact, the reported deaths for June 3rd for the UK was nearly the same total as that for the remaining EU countries combined.

I would think Grant Shapps' (My MP) plan for transport post pandemic probably is not likely to see full completion unless he gets the bloody cycle highway properly joined up as a full and complete network!! I don't need a bike but if I had one what would encourage me more to use one would be able to use a system that was completely was traffic free rather than going on main roads where I would be at risk of accidents Another thing that would else really help, is him putting pressure back on the railway franchises into ploughing more money into bringing prices back down to affordable levels to make railway travel accessible affordable and enjoyable. Face masks on transport are a good idea, but think that should have been in place as law right from the start of lockdown
and would like to see more done by the network themselves on making it easy to allow distancing to be possible on trains and tube to make it even more effective.

But as usual again it follows the Govt's position doing things too little too late.

This weekend will also probably be the first weekend without a virus update.
