    To be honest as long as you don’t give any bank details or create a log in, it seems good to me.
    Problem for me is I’ve got so much stuff to watch already......
    Loads of ****e on sky and now I’ve realised I’ve got Amazon video I’ve already lined up ‘Fear the Walking Dead’, ‘Hunters’ and ‘The Purge’......I’m gonna need 2 weeks of isolation to watch it all :)

    Fear the Walking Dead has a much stronger story than The Walking Dead, although the last season was quite poor compared to those before it

    On the Andrew Marr show this morning, Jeremy Farrar head of the Welcome Trust, said the UK might record the worst deaths and death rate in Europe, outstripping Italy, Spain and France. How could this actually happen?

    Our pandemic started later, so we were taken less by surprise than other countries.
    As yet, the NHS has not reached breaking point, we still have capacity.
    We have 1 mega-hospital open and at least 3 other nearly there.
    But I am seriously thinking, the lack of death reporting in the community, when it is disclosed, will really be shocking, and that is why Jeremy Farrar is saying that

    What have we done wrong, really wrong to be in that position? If that actually occurs, there will be serious questions to answer.

    Lack of a quick and total lockdown
    Lack of PPE
    Lack of closing borders
    Lack of contact tracing
    Slow on the kit manufacturing

    I am sure they will blame the scientists, but I would like to know who suggested what and when.

    I saw the first two seasons but can’t remember much of them so planning to watch it all from the beginning.....can’t say I was that impressed but want to give it another go.
    Watching the final season of ‘The Deuce’ right now......really worth a watch. Enjoyed the series completely....fantastic storylines

    I'm on the last season of Better Call Saul - brilliant script, well acted, and great to see characters come back from 'the dead' after Breaking Bad. A really good concept, and if you were ever hooked on Breaking Bad, it's a must

    I recently rewatched it all the way through - binged it in about four weeks, and it's still one of the best things I've ever seen. It must be good, because jnr watched it all the way through too, and he's got the attention span of a goldfish

    News of something I feared would happen has now been reported - A slum with about one million people in Mumbai has reported some people infected with the virus. How many is that going to kill?

    Did you squeeze it up close from the front or was it a distance squeeze from behind?

    You could be infected if there was more than just a squeeze attached. You may need to retrace your steps or should l say, hand movements to get a good grasp of the situation.

    I saw the same interview and he didn't come across as doom and gloom as your post suggests. Lots of ‘could’s’ and ‘may’s’... although I thought his points were interesting. I was more concerned about the reinfection comment.
