PM: “I must level with you, the British public, many more families are going to lose loved ones before their time.”
Schools to remain open. Different regime in place between Britain and Ireland and a fair bit of Europe.
Boris Johnson makes somewhat curious remark about Scottish public services having a problem with "resilience", hence the differences in approach on public events...

After the Danes yday the Norwegian govt has set out what it will do for workers affected by #COVID19:

🇳🇴 Full pay for those laid off for 20 days.
🇳🇴 Self employed get 80% of their average income the last 3 years - ceiling 600k NOK (£48000).
🇳🇴money for carers of Covid patients.
Swedish govt announce 300 billion SEK (£25bn) package. Includes measures for those affected by #COVID19 too.

🇸🇪 Laid off workers guaranteed 90% of their income.
🇸🇪 Govt will pay 50% of that and the employer picks up the other half
🇸🇪 govt will pay sick pay, rather than employer
To remind you, yesterday the Danish govt announced:

🇩🇰 Danish state will pay 75% of the salaries of laid off workers (so long as they’re not fired)
🇩🇰 ceiling is 23000 Danish Crowns per month (£2800)
🇩🇰 government picks up bill from employers for sick pay.

NEW: There was a meeting of opposition parties with health ministers and officials this am. I’m told key points were:

-they want govt to better explain why there is such a big difference in approach from UK vs other countries.
-concerns of over emphasis on behavioural science...
-opposition parties are concerned over a lack of detail as to how govt will protect the elderly and vulnerable.
-commitment to work together
-opposition parties made the point at the meeting that, they think the public are now ahead of the govt and are seeking greater leadership, they say the govt are weeks behind in the advice that they should be given – particularly on reducing contact for elderly and vulnerable.

Sir Patrick Vallance, Chief Scientific Adviser says the UK is around 4 weeks behind Italy, in terms of its exposure to the disease.
Vallance says the UK's true Covid case number is probably between 5000-10000 people.
UK Chief Scientific Adviser Vallance says there is "some evidence" that school closure has an effect but that isn't a significant one and in order to be effective you'd have to do it for 13-16 weeks (!) or longer

I know that for some, @BorisJohnson 's words today will indeed sound good. However, they contained within them several assumptions that are unscientific or unconfirmed. Going over these below. 1/ #COVID19
theguardian.com/world/2020/mar…
First, the UK position seems to be predicated on the assumption of a known death rate of #COVID19 - assumed to be constant: "Whitty says there are some things we are very confident of, like the mortality rate."
I have not seen such a number published. 2/
theguardian.com/politics/live/…
In fact, if anything the mortality rate of #coronavirus has been shown to be highly variable: it depends ENTIRELY on the capacity of the health system to treat patients with severe cases requiring hospitalization and help with lung failure. 3/

Boris Johnson Coronavirus update: "This is the worst public health crisis in a generation... I must level with you - many more families are going to lose loved ones before their time... But we have a clear plan."
Seeking to stretch the peak of the disease over longer period to minimise strain on health services. "The most dangerous period is not now, but some weeks today."
From tomorrow if you have even the mildest of symptoms, you must stay at home for seven days. In coming weeks, if someone in household has symptoms, we will ask everyone in that household to stay at home.

1. Let's go. This is getting worse. The other day Vox, then the PP, now Podemos. Spanish Prime Minister's office announces Irene Montero, Minister of Equality, has tested positive for Coronavirus. Pablo Iglesias, in self-isolation. The rest of the Spanish government to be tested.
2. The rest of the Spanish government will be tested for Coronavirus today. Results this evening.
3. Have the members of the Spanish government met the Coronavirus testing requirements in Spain, while so many Spaniards report the restrictive natures of guidelines in their towns and cities and the Medical Colleges ask for more supplies to carry out the tests?

A really heartbreaking sight. The sacrifices from health workers in China have been immense.
This is the context of that video, reportedly related to the death of hospital director Liu Zhiming.
This is making the rounds, claiming to be Chinese escaping the country into Vietnam. I'm almost certain that it is misrepresented, and that this is not true.
