Just been said that banning of large gatherings is not required at the moment as there is a lower chance of catching Covid-19 in a large gathering outside than if the people are displaced into a crowded indoor situation. May yet come, but not necessary at the moment.
In a non sadistic way I really hope this virus properly kicks in now and the government get shown up to be the gutless ****s we all know they are.
The press conference from Downing Street was very illuminating about the reasons behind the government's decisions about handling the present crisis. Made sense to me. Very honest...most will catch it, but important to delay the peak into the summer and flatten the curve. Too soon for draconian measures where the science doesn't support it....for instance, closing schools will probably increase contact between children with mild symptoms and elderly grandparents who are more at risk. This is just what I lifted from the TV so any faults will be mine.
