    Interesting PDF link on the various requirements to be met before a lockdown can be lifted - currently, no European country comes close to meeting these:

    That's actually very encouraging though. It suggests we could go from initial reopening of certain places to full reopening of most businesses and lifting of most restrictions within 8 weeks of that date, assuming there has been no big flare up of the virus in the meantime.

    Around June sometime would be my guess

    only if some magical vaccine is invented in the meantime , by the beginning of may things will be relaxed with social distancing in place like a few weeks ago , the peak here is expected around the 16th of April it will be baby steps after that

    i cant see pubs being open or mass gatherings of any sort over the summer taking place

    Some clown? Thanks

    Apologies but in fairness it's pretty simple to grasp.

    Wow:

    "A bus driver in Detroit, Michigan, who railed against a passenger who coughed without covering her mouth in an impassioned Facebook video has died from Covid-19, officials told CBS News."

    He was aged 50.

    China did not tell those with virus to go home to infect rest of family, they dragged them kicking and screaming out of cars, stores, off the street, and isolated them in hotels so on.
    The West are too PC to beat this virus. Takes a bit of olde school methods to beat it. It's why Italy cannot find that curve.

    A tad exaggerated don`t you think?

    Don't ever let the PR fool you, the likes of Russian and China are not helping Italy and others because they want to help, they are doing it so they can gain something out of it.

    Oh ya because Russia and China are the "bad guys" lol. I think someones been consuming too much Western propaganda material.

    It'll be nothing to do with "a magical vaccine", it'll be that we've pushed out the cases to over a period of time instead of one big go

    My guess is the current measures until end of april at least, if possible then may to go back to the measures we were previously under, then from june onwards if possible a gradual reopening.

    I can see pubs opening but I dont think mass events, concerts etc will be starting up.

    This piece on the LLS is ludicrous.

    There should be murder charges if you can't cover your mouth.

    An anti-parasite drug called Ivermectin has killed Covid-19 in cell cultures within 48 hours - if it could be regulated and calibrated for usage in humans, it could serve as treatment until a vaccine is developed:

    I am guessing it was down to getting to it quickly and how to load. How about at least some praise for them

    God its awful. Like I thought last week with the front line staff was a nice touch but this is just taking the piss.

    Miriam: "Did you fly the plane like you fly a plane almost every other day of the year"

    Pilot: "I did, yeah"

    Miriam: "Wow, that is an amazing story"

    Suppose we can say the same about the nurses and doctors at the moment.

    Remember that when they come looking for pay rises.

    It's a complete farce here. We are going to need stricter measures asap.

    Oh ya because Russia and China are the "bad guys" lol. I think someones been consuming too much Western propaganda material.

    Where do I start? China lied about the virus when it was first discovered they imprisoned many people who first talked about it. If they didn't do this it is likely that that virus would've never getting out of China.

    While we are talking about china lets talk about their concentration camps for Muslims https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-50511063

    Or the China which will literally send you to jail for and probably harvest your organs if you write anything bad about their president online.

    The west may not be perfect but it is a paradise compared to the freedoms Chinese have, and when I say this stuff about China I mean the government not the people of China.
