The ridicule comes because normally there are 28 days in Feb and 29 on a leap year, so there is no 30th Feb ever
Ah, but you have no evidence that there won’t be a 30th February 2024 do you! It’s a well established fact on this board that you can’t have evidence of anything until after it has happened, so anyone who holds the opinion that there will be a 30th February 2024 can’t be challenged until 1st March! Has there been been a February 2024 before, yes or no? So you can’t have any evidence that there won’t be a 30th day! ;)

A shame that fumbling over a date distracted from some of the guff he came out with about the governments reasons not the update the symptoms in a timely manner.
Probably causing maybe people to spread the disease and 111 to tell people who had the virus that they didn't.

There was a care home manager echoing precisely those thoughts on our evening news earlier,he said he didn't know if anybody had spread the disease unknowingly,but if this advice has been in place sooner it might have saved lives,the government have taken a cavalier approach from the earliest stages of this outbreak and now we the citizens who they're supposed to protect are paying the price.

Following the science my backside,that's the biggest lie since Coyle claimed he was visiting his mother in Scotland.

Yes, our daughter lost her sense of taste and smell at the time her boyfriend was very poorly and going downhill rapidly. Those were pretty much the only symptoms she had apart from being tired. About the week before lockdown.

Yes, I recall one poster being very vocal about how open borders have allowed the virus to spread unchecked. Interestingly though, he hasn't commented on our government's failing to close them.
Commented many times on this, as I see it as the main reason we have such poor comparative figures to other nations that did shut down their borders. Basically grew bored with beating the same job on here - also was jumped on by one poster who had been on holiday in March and seemed to think he/she had to justify it.

Didn’t see much of yesterday’s update, but it was pretty excruciating to see Tam not answer many questions - looked extremely uncomfortable. Taste and smell loss was reported weeks ago - I think the time is fast approaching when hiding behind ‘the science’ won’t wash!

You got jumped on because you were wrong
I went on holiday in February, on a date I could have flown, unchecked into New Zealand or Germany ( and most other countries in the world) two of the countries seen as being successful in this fight. I also flew back on a date I could still have flown into those two countries.

Nether tightened their borders till mid march.

Your argument has always been we should have closed our airports at the beginning of March. With hindsight iam sure every country might agree with you, unfortunately those decisions had to be made without that benefit.

Poland hopes for downward trend next week

Coronavirus infections in Poland may start to fall within a week, the country’s Health Minister Lukasz Szumowski says.

“I think that in a week we will be able to say that we have a downward trend,” Szumowski told a news conference.

The number of cases is not yet falling because of an outbreak among coal miners in Poland’s Silesian region.

As of Tuesday morning, 2,683 miners had tested positive for the virus. Five mines have suspended production due to the outbreak, but one partially resumed excavation on Monday.

The region of Silesia accounted for 77%, or 150 of all the 195 new cases confirmed on Tuesday morning. Poland has to date recorded 19,080 cases, 941 deaths and 7,903 recoveries. There are currently 2,490 people in hospital with the virus, according to health ministry figures.

Szumowski said the number of hospital beds occupied by patients with the virus had never exceeded 30% of the Polish health system’s capacity.

“This shows that we managed to avoid the scenario in Italy and France,” he said.

Poland has recorded far fewer Covid-19 cases and deaths than many western European countries. The authorities put this down to the swift closing of the country’s borders, which are to remain closed until 15 June.

Deaths in English and Welsh care homes continue to fall

Robert Cuffe

BBC head of statistics

The numbers of deaths in care homes have fallen for the second week in a row, figures from the Office for National Statistics show.

In the week up to 8 May, there were 1,666 Covid-19 registered deaths in care homes in England and Wales. This is down from 2,423 the previous week.

The fall is exaggerated by the pause in death registrations on the Bank Holiday Friday, but is larger than would be caused by a single day of closures.

The number of deaths in care homes in England and Wales also fell from 6,409 to 4,248.

Big discounts forecast as UK clothing shops plan to reopen

With a planned relaxation of UK lockdown rules allowing some non-essential stores to reopen next month, major brands such as Marks and Spencer and Next are preparing for socially distanced shopping.

But analyst Richard Lim of Retail Economics said stores would "have to discount heavily" to sell excess stock that may now be out of season.

Mr Lim said retailers also faced big challenges in winning shoppers' confidence, with changing rooms likely to stay closed and customers discouraged from touching the merchandise.

"The retail experience is going to be turned on its head when clothes stores reopen," he said.

More than 1.7 million people around the world are known to have recovered from coronavirus, according to Johns Hopkins University. But the road back to full health is not the same for everyone.

Recovery time will depend on how sick you became in the first place. Some people will shrug off the illness quickly, but for others it could leave lasting problems.

Age, gender and other health issues all increase the risk of becoming more seriously ill from Covid-19.

That's a lot of people recovering,and this doesn't get enough attention.

New Zealand ponders extra holiday to boost tourism

The government of New Zealand is considering giving an additional holiday to boost domestic tourism. According to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, it's one potential idea for how to help the economy.

Tourism is a major economic sector in the country but with no international visitors, the industry is suffering badly.

"My message to Kiwis is, come and experience your own backyard and come and experience the cultural and hospitality here in Aotearoa," Ardern said on Tuesday.

New Zealand has over the past weeks eased what was one of the world's toughest lockdowns and the government says the virus is "currently eliminated" in the country.

Another bank holiday for the UK?

The head of Visit Britain says she’s had discussions with the government about the possibility of an extra bank holiday in October this year.

Patricia Yates has been giving evidence to a virtual session of the Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee.

She told the MPs: “The idea that we could possibility have a bank holiday in October, because the industry has lost the benefit of the two May bank holidays, I think that’s an idea that’s being considered, to have a bank holiday around the October half term. Because what we’re going to need to do is not just stimulate people in July and August but really extend the season this year for the domestic market.”

At the start of the hearing, Patricia Yates said Visit Britain now estimated that the UK’s tourism sector had lost around £37 billion (£15bn from foreign tourists not visiting, £22bn from domestic tourists) as a result of the coronavirus lockdown.

So will the government say yes to another bank holiday? We'll ask the Prime Minister's Official Spokesman at the lunchtime briefing for political reporters.

It's a bit chilly in October for a bank holiday,but we might get lucky and have a late heatwave.

Imagine a full attendance at Turf Moor being killed. Then filling it with replacements and then they are all killed.

..... Or less than half of old Trafford... Or how many at each league club?
It's a strange example you give, it's too many, but there are many examples of what 40000 is

Or indeed any governments around the world going through this a few weeks before us..... oh, hang on.
Or martin_p off up the clarets, advising the government what to do, based on 2 weeks worth of confused information, from countries with totally different social and economic circumstances than us.

Missed a trick there didnt they?

What’s massively socially and economically different about France and Spain that would make our response to a pandemic different?

This recovery is to be applauded.

Nurse out of intensive care after 45 days

A nurse in the UK has left intensive care after spending more than 45 days there with coronavirus.

Felix Khor, who is being treated at Southend University Hospital in Essex where he has worked for 15 years, gave a "thumbs up" as he was moved out and thanked those who helped to save his life.

The hospital said colleagues lined the main corridor and there were applause, cheers and a few tears as Mr Khor was moved to a ward.

Mr Khor said: "I'm incredibly grateful to all of the hospital staff who have helped keep me fighting, and for the huge love and support from colleagues and friends.

He added: "There is still a long road ahead but it has meant so much."
