Is Dame Vera Lynn still available?

Perhaps you can give him a tutorial via PM rather than on the public forum.

Anyone notice what page we are on?

I'll stop now. I promise.

I would freeze it b cause you’ll be cooking it once it’s defrosted.  Batch cooking meat and freezing it once cooked is a good idea.  I tend to cook stewing steak in large batches and freeze it in smaller quantities to make pies and stews.  Likewise, I roast several joints of meat in the oven together, then portion them up and freeze them.

 69 that’s what I get from the ice cream man.  Oh no!  Wait!  That’s a 99.

Just watching the US Trump conference. The man is ridiculous but it's clear the US is rapidly ramping up testing in a way the UK can only dream of. 

Edit: They're also saying (a Dr not Trump) the US tests are more accurate than ones deployed elsewhere around the world which show false positives and false negatives.

You were right, I just placed an order for early April and some good prices too. I selected the option 'Add everything from the warehouse'

Talking about frozen dairy products, it seems like the only thing the stockpilers don't want is ice cream (Balham Sainsburys had been almost completely cleaned out). Could be in this for the long haul so I stocked up.

Sounds like there is acceptance at the top of government that doing trade deals with the EU and US is a lower priority than dealing with coronavirus = extended transition.

I think the govt is still wasting valuable time, just just shut down ~everything now and ask people to stay/work at home and go for walks, running, cycling etc. Don't wait for the surge to hit the ICUs.

That’s where I’ve be going wrong all these years. Maths was never my strong point.

So the daily ‘finance’ orientated emergency budget ‘the sequel’ is due shortly. Word is some unprecedented measures are going to be announced.

A fall in new deaths in the UK with 14 more reported

Death toll is now 69

I still keep wondering how we'll get to the 250000 scenario or even close to it

Singapore have reported 23 new cases today which is their biggest daily total. Previous highest was 14.

There won't be a 250k outcome, that was the forecast with mitigation (herd immunity) only and without social distancing measures in the wider population.

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has been temporarily released from jail in Iran for two weeks.

She will have to wear an ankle tag and not move further than 300m from her parents home.

Morrisons are creating 3,500 new jobs to cope with soaring demand during coronavirus

Dave my understanding is we are on the toe of the up curve and the daily numbers are a bit noisy. If the models are correct we see a steady rise from now for the next 10 days or so - let’s hope not.
I hope not as by next weekend fatalities will be rising by 100 or so more each day.

Thanks for replies. I suspect if we start to see things soaring the draconian shutdowns will be a given

Boris:

• We must act like a war time government and support businesses and families. We must do more and faster.


• Covid-19 is so dangerous that without drastic action it will “overwhelm the NHS”

 

Given the advice for over 70s to remain at home, I was surprised to see so many out shopping in supermarkets today.

It's the first day, and perhaps they're just getting provisions in, but they comprised about half the shoppers in pretty busy supermarkets.

PM has confirmed more extreme measures to combat COVID-19 will be introduced in the coming days.
