We"ve ticked up!!.................4.50/5

Why?? Bit like life ATM something is missing.

Hi hanoi, good to hear from you as ever.....in no particular order, yeah doing good. As you probably know got the all clear in January, first time in four previous diagnosis that I was clear for as much as a period of 7 months, so just getting used to all the other conditions without that to worry about. TBH feel the same but I guess after 7/8 years we get used to feeling what becomes our norm. So usual infection mode every month, in one now, but with all that is going on I feel very lucky that it affects me far less than others, single, reluctantly retired, and get out once a week.

So yes self isolating as much as possible, but there is a three week waiting list for home deliveries from Waitrose, so will have to go out at some point soon. Feels so weird, something from a sci fi movie, cant get taxis so just watching the news and taking it all in, which I suggest some who are moaning should do too. It seems to be the same everywhere, and my carer who comes from Poland was here today and in just three days from Monday the whole situation has changed as it has here. Been listening to the Chief Science Officer and Sir Patrick Vallance all day, they simply don"t know what they are dealing with until more data comes in, follows previous curves of other viruses and then mutation can blow that out of the curve.

So the Government is reliant on what they are told, which can"t be that different to other scientists around the globe, and dependant on which way the curve lays is how they react to governing the country. Well I"ve spent a couple of days sorting out how I will govern myself!! so what they are doing and have to do is well beyond me. Everybody from whatever walk of life is screaming there cause is the most urgent, as I would do, and at times like this I am grateful for my small world, and just perhaps because I have been there I can see a bigger picture, not bogged down by my own which is why I am over thinking and not sleeping.!!!!

Could go on forever, but one little example of what the Government faces. I was talking to one of my best pals an Italian lady, who funny enough Inanaco knows as I took him to their restaurant years ago. She has been phoning me every day to see how I am, and just an hour agosaid to me......I will be over once this lockdown is over!!! Hello, what lockdown??

And that is the problem we all face, those who know everything but know nothing and those that know nothing and never will. Imagine what it is to govern 60 odd million of those??

Take care buddy, before I write my biography, chins up and keep punching, what else can we do??

I would leave my e-mail address, but after this morning I don"t think ADMIN like me, it seems OK for a member to send malicious e-mails to you, but not tell others and they have the e-mail in their possession. C"est la vie, I think there are far more important things going on at this moment in time. Take care hanoi, and maybe it is denial, I haven"t mentioned Scancell once, lo

I have no doubts every country in the world will find something else needs to be done, a general change of direction, directed largely by the curve they are seeing, it is IMHO that does not mean they committed genocide but they are learning, as we are, quickly what measures to bring in next.

So take very good care of yourselves, spare thoughts for others who cant mentally or physically help themselves and yes it is more than just hope that we come out of this better in so many ways as people. ATVB

Morning Guys, well it certainly looks like that will highly feature today, as measures are gathering apace rapidly.

Just been watching Kevin McGuire and Andrew Frith discus the papers today, a programme I really like on Sky News and particularly the two of them together. As many will know one is a die hard socialist the other a diehard Tory, and what struck me was how alligned they were to measures the Government are taking, and stressing at all times that what they feel is needed is being done as fast as possible in an ever changing scenario and pointing out what they must do first to ensure measures work . A prime example of this is closing the schools. It has been brought forward because headmasters cannot get enough teachers to keep the schools operating, as many of the teachers are not working, many of whom are not doing so by age, As we know children of key workers, the frontline, will be able to attend and children with special needs such as autism too.

I have never heard Kevin McGuire so supportive of the Government going to pains to explain that just to organise that takes time, and is the only real reason it hasn"t happened earlier. This applies to just about every major decision they are taking, to ensure the infrastructure is in place to carry out all measures. They were showing speeche from all the key leaders from the EU countries, in line with us, confirming they are all in discussions daily and sharing research freely. All speaking as one in as much as we are all in unprecedented territory like never before, and are ready to implement changes at the merest evidence that something else might work better.

It was inspiring stuff, and it is my biggest hope that the world eventually comes out of this, with all the damage to repair, a better place where people, leaders together and an army of volunteers amassing each and every day do all in their power to help others, namely the elderly and infirm.

One of my biggest fears was for some of the views expressed in some quarters, scoring points politically and non constructive criticism which helps nobody and TBH I was at a very low level hearing a couple on hear saying BJ will be held responsible for the deaths we have seen already. There was a comment by Angela Eagle about the state of the police force, did nobody tell her there are 20,000 troops now ready to join the front line?? And how long do we think it takes to organise all that, hence a lock down could now be better policed for the safety of us all.

Like many I have found it very hard to sleep, and there are so many who have so much more to think about in their own lives, but I can"t help as I have always done ""over thinking situations"" and for every ""situation"" there are so many repercussions to the actions being taken. We are such an interesting race of people, experts arrive in herds, but I feel lucky to have faith in those we are relying on to do their very best for us all.

Did you know Chris Witty played a major role in eradicating ebola in Africa?? No I didn"t either

Brings a lot of clarity to Government stratagy

Good to see them rising another 30% today, amother collaboration we had with Scancell.

Near the close for 4k shares, one huge spread still, 250k buys, 15k sells and we finish down another 2%.

A lot of focus on BJ, but again seeing Rishi Sunak in action it is hard not to feel some confidence of the quality the Government is surrounded by. As Nicola Sturgeon said a change of stratagy is not a sign of errors just ""timing"" and I guess with data available from all world leaders we are all learning so much as to works best.

Considering the fast moving changes being made in the virus and being in unpreccedented territory, I am surprised at some so keen to find fault from our stratagy. Unlike some egos rampant on here i see the humility in leadership not afraid to bring in whatever is necessary to try and combat this virus. In Rishi Sunak I think I am seeing a future PM in the making, and can any of us actualy imagine the work going on where it matters most. Lets hope we calling this as right as we can based on daily information, I find the blame game somewhat unjelpful, time and only time will tell.

Not sure what a National Lockdown actually entails, but we will find out very shortly. Be safe, as safe as you can.

Back to cider in the local park!!

Lets see how many married couples think they are lucky working from home, lol.

Yeah be safe

There is talk of a National Lock Down starting from Friday. From a very reliable source and I wouldn"t post it otherwise.

All so fast moving..........

Meanwhilst a 90k Buy at 4.899

GL Chester

a 150k BUY at 4.9, lol. ISA filling??

Parents should not expect schools to re-open until after the summer break (6 months).

Nicola Sturgeon, has made some very good points (about time), different parts of the U.K are taking different measures ""at different times"", which does not mean anybody is getting it wrong just that geographically we are all at different stages ""of the curve"". London it would seem,is well ahead of the national curve.

Hi Nom,

Well i took your advice from the weekend to utilise the garden, a nice reminder of the seasons changing. and very good for the soul. Unfortunately in infection mode it is not a possibility.

P.S. There are some amazing initiatives amongst suppliers for home deliveries to replace the busines they normally rely on with the restaurant trade. ATB

Certainly seems to be cross party support for measures be taken by Government. I have a lot of faith in how we are going about this and all organisations from the EU, WHOand too many to mention are cooperating and working together.

Scary times,,and every morning realities sink in. I have a really hard one going on here as I get at least one infection every month, feeling all the symptons now that I have become used too, just adding a dry cough which has not been the case in recent months. I am self solating, living alone and prioritising what I can do withoutrather than stress over what I need, but I really don"t know who to call, medically, if things develop.

I think it is very worthwhile listening to Government measures, and whilst I appreciate many of the posts here, are we really qualified to comment as some are on this virus?? I mean that with absolutely no disrespect to anybody, but the least onfusion created can only be a good thing.

I wish everyone ATVB, but IMHO there is so much information going on, have never seen such cross party support before but with my own conditions which are foremost in my mind, do I just self isolate??

Yes understand that, read the posts again, patients with cancer will still have operations.

Violin Dog, I got a clear impression that elective surgery has stopped as of now.

Can I ask where you got 15th April from??

Violin Dog,

Thank you for that post. All the points you raise, ventilators, renal dyalias machines etc were discussed during the meeting today. I hope perhaps later you will be able to watch and listen and look forward to your comments on same. TAKE CARE
