500 people?

Which is kind of my point. I was wearing it because I had too and it was dished out as I went through our reception. But no guidance on how to put it on etc. When I've been in the supermarket I see people walking around with filthy looking ones, clearly re-wearing the same one over and over. I just think the government have it about right on this. I think the negligible benefits of masks are likely outweighed by the level of effective application causingmore harm than good. I just don't think people will wear them correctly (like me) and at the same time then walk around like they are invincible because they have one on. Needless to say, once Asda can get consistent stock levels to make a few quid on, they'll be everywhere whatever the government say.

I had to go into my place of work today, only the second time in six weeks. So lucky me I got to wear a face mask for the first time. Fair to say I don't think I have ever touched my face more, spent the whole time with glasses steamed up and uncomfortable to the point of feeling utterly counterproductive. And I was only in the office for a task that took 90 mins or so that I couldn't do from home. The poor buggers in the office/plant every day are wearing them all day. For the marginal gain the experts say they deliver, I remain unconvinced it is a sustainable solution for the general public.

Raymond Wallace.

I preferred this game in the good old days before the money men ruined it.

Alan Pardew has just been sacked by his Dutch club. In fairness he hasn't won a match for weeks.

Mark Paul.

Scott Bevan.

Shayne Bradley.

Kevin Gibbens.

Edit: I knew I should have checked.

Belt up and start guessing. Ian Andrews.

Total deaths (all locations) graph now looking like the UK striking out on own vs France/Spain/Italy. This is literally the truth catching up with the government.

Back in business today. Absolute fox.

It's odd they made such a thing of that: I'm no expert but latex gloves like that come in boxes like tissue boxes right? They're not all nicely paired up like they would be in the clothing section of a garden centre.

Bravo. I didn't even know he played in the Netherlands.

Getting fed up with the journalists asking the same questions over and over again in these pressconferences. And not in a "persistantly holding the government to account" way, but in a "I don't really understand this topic" kind of way.

Did Barry Venison have long locks for us? He certainly had "roles" as a midfielder and full back.

Woah. I'm just pleased I've achieved something today.

Belmadi?

So a meaningless phrase, then. Thanks.

You've made reference to "lockdown lite" so what is it you think we should have done?

I'm not sure who has said the pubs will be open in June, that doesn't feel particularly likely to me. Germany haven't got where they have with a stricter lockdown than us. They had a better plan and a much bigger and better diagnostics and testing industry in their own country. This utter horsesh it fantasising about everyone being on house arrest is totally counterproductive and utterly hysterical. We aren't going to get cases down to zero and we'd be mad to try.

No they don't and they will not be tightened any further. It's going to be hard enough to keep things at this level for another two weeks or so. The government are planning the next stages and they don't involve tightening anything up. They will involve more testing/track-and-trace and isolation alongside a phased return by business type/personal risk. Collectively there will be a readiness to start opening up, and there will be a collective wariness in the population which, alongside some clear guidelines, should allow life to move back to something closer to normality.

That's just the kind of thing a Nazi would say.
