Have to have a kind of grudging respect for the government/medical officers 19:54 - Mar 12 with 1261 views | JakeITFC | They’ve backed their models, forecasts and plans, and if you don’t follow all the contingencies put in place then why bother making them in the first place? On the other hand though, it does feel a bit uncomfortable to be the only country in the world who is following this sort of advice and it’s not fun to be part of a real-world run through of a simulation. Baffling to me that large (specifically sporting) gatherings are planned to go ahead this weekend. |  | | |  |

My mum is in a care home, and they have written to families saying that they may have to pitch in to clean and cook if staff get sick or are otherwise unable to work (not quite what I expected for £850pw of fees!) |  | |  |
