I have X1

I've used it once already, so presumably it now needs binning !  However, I used it  3 weeks ago, so presumably, it won't now have any Corona on it.

Could we perhaps hang them in the cupboard on coat hangers  and re-use them after a safe interval of time ?

Seriously, though,  the best of luck buying any at the moment - not a hope in Hades

No, received ours well over a week ago, complete with leaflet.

I had a look at the price of flights over october half term. They were very expensive - in excess of £3k for a family of 4.

I got mine about a week ago.

 

On the matter of face masks rather than me giving my opinion on it (as my opinion is basically what the WHO states as they have far more experience and expertise on this than myself and everyone here), here is the WHO recommendations, published last Monday. The emphasis is theirs not mine:

 

“Medical masks should be reserved for health care workers.
The use of medical masks in the community may create a false sense of security, with neglect of other essential measures, such as hand hygiene practices and physical distancing, and may lead to touching the face under the masks and under the eyes, result in unnecessary costs, and take masks away from those in health care who need them most, especially when masks are in short supply.

Persons with symptoms should:
• wear a medical mask, self-isolate, and seek medical
advice as soon as they start to feel unwell. Symptoms can include fever, fatigue, cough, sore throat, and difficulty breathing. It is important to note that early symptoms for some people infected with COVID-19 may be very mild;
• follow instructions on how to put on, take off, and dispose of medical masks;
• follow all additional preventive measures, in particular, hand hygiene and maintaining physical distance from other persons.

All persons should:
• avoid groups of people and enclosed, crowded spaces;
• maintain physical distance of at least 1 m from other
persons, in particular from those with respiratory
symptoms (e.g., coughing, sneezing);
• perform hand hygiene frequently, using an alcohol-based
hand rub if hands are not visibly dirty or soap and water
when hands are visibly dirty;
• cover their nose and mouth with a bent elbow or paper
tissue when coughing or sneezing, dispose of the tissue
immediately after use, and perform hand hygiene;
• refrain from touching their mouth, nose, and eyes.
In some countries masks are worn in accordance with local customs or in accordance with advice by national authorities in the context of COVID-19. In these situations, best practices should be followed about how to wear, remove, and dispose of them, and for hand hygiene after removal.“

Those are the main recommendations. Context and other considerations are discussed in the report https://apps.who.int/iris/rest/bitstreams/1274280/retrieve

I'd like to see Garden Centres and diy/building suppliers reopen with distancing similar to supermarkets

---

I got mine last week 

---

Northern Ireland has reported 76 new cases and 6 new deaths

I think they’ll discuss reopening schools - which I think would be a mistake at the moment.

As long as cases are right down, I’d think about reopening in June?

---

That's a good shout and would definitely work 

---

Wales has reported 313 new cases and 15 new deaths

The Nightingale of the North is now ready for its first patients (officially opens on Friday though?)

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/gallery/huge-new-hospital-manchester-city-18083385

I'm with you John , I'd probably go for June 1st 

Have schools go back for the months of June and July have August as a shortened Summer holiday and start a fresh in September 

---

Scotland has reported 155 new cases and 9 new deaths

Given how terrible our death figures are, it would surely be madness to ease any of our lockdown measures until June at the earliest? 

I do think once we get to June a slow attempt at returning to some form of normality will take place, obviously the fine details will need to be thrashed out. I don’t envy the decision makers.

He's at Chequers now! 

He can impregnate females just by looking at them

He "Got Brexit Done"

He was at death's door on Wednesday, but was making YouTube videos by Sunday, and didn't lose a pound of weight!

 

 

---

Low death counts from both Scotland and Wales , I'd expect quite a drop in England's numbers too 

---

NHS England have reported 667 new deaths

Deaths in England are up by 10 from Easter Sunday

Again those figures are horrendous if we are seeing the weekend / Bank Holiday bottlenecks. 

---

Joe , surely that's the most sensible option we could take, rushing back for what ? 

Best take a hit now then get another full shot of this thing later in the year 

---

That seems fairly reasonable as long as the associated cafe's (which many have) don't re-open. Many plant suppliers will go bust if they aren't able to sell their stocks. I think it was estimated that losses of young plants destined for summer plantings in the UK will exceed £150M

---

Oh , I expected lower that 

---

I don't think I could last till then!

I can manage for another month tops

Hopefully Trump will do it by April 30, and Bozo will feel pressured to follow. Now that he is immune himself he will want to get back to the things he enjoys in life, like eating out at top restaurants

 

 

---

If hospital admissions are down, then perhaps they aren't and we are on the downward slope

Great news and perhaps a sooner end to lockdown

---

Nicola Sturgeon has made it quite clear that there will be no imminent easing of restrictions up here.
