Dominic Cummings has been at the heart of the government's policymaking (or, rather, sloganeering).
His mother's brother has died with Covid-19.
It's impossible to know whether there's any connection between these two facts.

A few things I observed on Saturday. We went to Lidl in the Kirkgate but they would only let one person from a couple in so I waited outside. There was a dog tied to the steps that’s go up to the community centre. The amount of people who went up to it and played with it surprised me. It could be carrying Coronavirus on it.
There were also two jakey looking guys wandering around wearing industrial face masks. Obviously taking it seriously with the face masks, I thought. Then one of them looked in the cigarette stub bit of a bin for a part smoked cigarette to smoke. Kind of defeats the purpose of the mask if you’re willing to do that!

He also said that there are hundreds of coronaviruses and that this one is called Covid-19 because it was discovered in 2019, not because it's the 19th coronavirus.PERSEVERE

A report out today suggesting about 30% of those aged 25 or under have either lost their jobs or been furloughed in the last couple of weeks. That doesn't include part time workers. That's quite a sobering figure when it comes to understanding the economic impact.

I’m also not sure how they will end the furlough scheme? The minute the govt support ends, a lot of these people currently furloughed will be made redundant as demand in the economy has now collapsed as well. We could be looking at 20-30% unemployment. Once the health crisis is over, people will be looking for solutions to the economic crisis and they will punish the govt if they don’t have those solutions.

There is a chance that as we emerge, "demand" will rocket for just about everything. It won't be enough to make up for the downturn and the loss of activity but it will help.
Low interest rates, low tax rates and helicopter money would all help.
Dropping a load of cash onto median earners and encouraging them to spend - filtering it out from there would work, helping the poor and the much richer and getting us going again.
Hopefully the Tories will resist the temptation to go "trickle down" but equally they can't panic too much about the debt that's been incurred and stifle any recovery by raising taxes too high too soon.
It's unavoidable that we're going to be paying for this for a while.

More positive news from Spain. Lowest number of deaths and new cases in any 24 hour period for 2 weeks.
Hopefully they're finally seeing some light at the end of their very long tunnel.

In what I consider my immediate family of a group of 17 we have 3 self employed doing, and earning very little, 2 essential workers and 12 furloughed.

Taking the thread off topic a bit I have what I think could be a problem.
I'm friends with the deputy manager of my daughters nursery on Facebook. She's always posted stuff that is a bit off the wall but over the last few days it's become a bit sinister. She's pushing the '5G causes coronavirus' line and is linking to articles by David Icke. Wrong but no real issue, I read some weird stuff when I'm bored. However she has since started sharing anti vaccine posts, encouraging people not to vaccinate children, sharing claims about vaccines poisoning children and suggesting the virus is just a front to force further vaccination on parents. Further she is making claims that 'viruses don't spread between people'. Given she is in a management position in a nursery and regularly informs us about outbreaks of chickenpox, Noravirus and so on that seems an odd claim.
Usually I just let the anti vaxx idiots gets on with it but when the person making these claims, particularly about the spread of viruses, is in a position that requires knowledge of infection control in an environment that impacts my child I'm not sure I'm comfortable with it.
I'm not sure there's anything I can really do about it but I find it a bit unsettling.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Secondly, advise the care commission/inspectorate. If your conscience won’t allow that. Send it to me and I will do that.

The manager needs to know. Or if it is not the same person, the owner of the nursery.
It may be that the dissemination of this information fits neatly within the values of the nursery - I somehow doubt it though.
My profession are very big on how we behave online and the information we circulate - the highest person in the UK profession stated during a webinar last Friday that she had reported someone to our regulator for maliciously spreading "fake news" on Facebook. This has largely been interpreted as being a bit over the top (different science has different levels of validity and clinicians should have a certain amount of freedom to pick their way through it and make up their own minds) but it just lets you see how seriously some people can take stuff like this.
This person is in a position of power and authority. Whilst some might say (certainly not I) that her opinions hold merit, she needs to be very careful indeed with who she can influence with this opinion.
Personally I think you have a moral obligation to "grass" on this occasion as her actions have the potential to cause huge harm, and it needs nipped in the bud asap - especially if she has a captive audience of clients like yourself who might be influenced.Last edited by Smartie; 06-04-2020 at 11:04 AM.

Her contract of employment will almost certainly have a ‘social media’ clause.
She’s risking being sacked by posting what she has if anyone happens to inform her employer.

You should get her to listen to this, vital work on sequencing the covid genome is going on as we speak.
