that's what a lot are waiting for, I'm holding out for furlough too. I think this virus is gonna get a lot worse before it gets better.
I think at some point governments will have to make that decision. If younger fit people start to die with it (two fit teenagers died recently), rather than the elderly or those with serious health issues, it will make that decision harder. I'm in the older age group and realise there has to be a balance even if it appears brutal.

Whilst that balance between health and industry is a distasteful one to have to consider and make if we aren't careful then we aren't going to have anything to come out from this to.

If they want to "take us with them" and still have us compliant then stop doing that sort of thing destroys their credibility.
I have no time for Piers Morgan but at least he's holding the authorities to account every morning and not just accept everything like the pet journalists allowed to speak and ask questions at the daily briefings.

The 5,700 projection was ridiculous & based on 3 days worth of flawed stats. We are heading for an Italy/Spain outcome. For what it's worth I think the 800,000 figure is a pretty lazy projection too.
What did Germany & SK do so right that the rest of Europe seems to have got wrong.
The real carnage is going to unfold in the US. President 'it's all a hoax' Trump is now saying 200,000 dead there would be a good outcome.
