Lots of leading scientists, including SAGE scientists who advise the government, saying we are ending the lockdown too soon and predicting it will cost thousands of lives. If you are worried, sign and share this petition. http://chng.it/NGPfKBq6

My brother is flying into uk on 5th June and will be self isolating at my address. Am i right in saying I am allowed to pick him up in car at the airport?

As pointed out, the Oxford vaccine (and others?) are hardly getting tested properly in this current climate of falling cases. Testing (deliberate exposure to virus after vaccine infusion) on humans, prisoners or volunteers would have provided crucial evidence. However due to ethics that will...

I get the impression Europe may return to normal life more than UK. Some of the stuff I have read in the UK is bonkers “a new normal” here is a good tweet I will share Should we expect any less from a nation who thought up the sugar tax and congestion charges in London.

Seems to be trending on Twitter at the moment following a BBC article. My last photo on my phone was from March 14th and taken on a short road trip to the rainy Highlands. It’s of the Kylesku Bridge in Sutherland, one of my favourites. Post yours if you fancy.

A couple of days back the treasury looked at options available to recover national debt caused by Covid19. One of the options was to freeze pay increases of key workers for two years. Will the key workers accept clapping every Thursday night as a substitute for their annual pay increments?

If the schools do reopen in june would you be happy sending your children back (if they are in the qualifying year) For me i don't think i will be letting my year one lad back it's to soon in my opinion.

Coronavirus: Amanda Holden releases single to raise funds for NHS charities

Hi All How are you? How is everything? Good or bad please post let's try to get some positivity going and if you in a position help others if they need a little help during these times. I run my own company and I'm been fighting tooth and nail to keep all my staff in work including me and I...

Just wondered if any business owners have applied for the bounce back loan? I applied yesterday morning, recieved documents to sign this morning, now just waiting to see what happens next. Are people getting it to use as a cash buffer, invest in new equipment, safety net or just getting it...

I couldn't find any threads offering tracking resources apart from the locked thread above, which I couldn't contribute to. So there, the JHU tracker that we all know and is widely quoted as a source of truth (which seems somewhat "work in progress" right now) and is limited in how the results...

As I deliver meds to care homes I'm considered an "essential worker". Over the last couple of days I've had a bit of an intermittent cough/sore throat. So in the brave new world of "ramped up capacity", thought I'd apply for a test. Went online (Apply for a coronavirus test) & registered easily...

Anyone in the 2018 scheme should receive an email soon to tell them of the news. I received communication on Thursday.

Ok, so I'm 100 % behind the NHS and all the staff who are on the front line, putting their lives at risk. When I first saw the clapping from the balconies in Italy it bought a tear to my eye. When I stood in our street, surrounded by our neighbours, some of whom we never really see, it bought a...

I've been invited to attend a face to face interview this coming Friday at the company premises for a management role. The company is classed as essential and is a food manufacturer. Looking for advice on whether this is allowed in the current situation. Any advice much appreciated! Thanks.

Submarine Captain under investigation Having spent many weeks at sea, and unable to go home before going back to sea, the Captain decided to hold a bbq for his crew. He is now under investigation as a bbq is "inappropriate" at this time due to covid. Thoughts.

Was spoken about more at today's evening briefing, so I'm wondering. Would you be happy to install whatever Official App this ends up being on your smartphone, to enable you to be notified if you had been in close proximity to someone for a while, who has since developed to the virus? Or are you...
