Birmingham airport to be used as a makeshift morgue

info coming from UK that lockdown will last at least until June or July

PM sending letter to 30m households telling them it will get worse before it gets better and to stay indoors

The US number was a little behind the times the current number is correct for the U.K. but 2,211 for the US

Bloody hell. That's going to be tough. Perhaps a similar scenario in New York? Possibly longer since internal travel within the US will keep shifting the virus around the country.

And the Russians are now helping the Americans.

I would have expected that to be the other way around. The US has taken a mighty tumble since Team Trump and Moscow Mitch have been in charge.

Why is it that the US reports false information."The death toll from this virus is higher than 9/11 terror"Most intelligent people around the world know that this was never a TERROR attack and it's only the unintelligent Americans that believe this nonsense.

After resisting a statewide stay-at-home order for days, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) succumbed to the pressure and issued one on Wednesday. Part of the reason, he said, was that he had just learned some new information.

Kemp said he was “finding out that this virus is now transmitting before people see signs.”

“Those individuals could have been infecting people before they ever felt bad, but we didn’t know that until the last 24 hours,” he said. He added that the state’s top doctor told him that “this is a game-changer.”

It may have been a game-changer, but it was a game-changer weeks or even months ago. That’s when health officials started emphasizing that asymptomatic people are transmitting the coronavirus. The idea that Kemp didn’t know this is striking. But he’s merely the latest top politician to indicate that he’s unfamiliar with the science even as he’s making life-or-death decisions for his constituents.

I wish this level of ignorance by such an important decision maker was a serious criminal offence. What a moron.

Captain Brett Crozier:

“That’s how you send out one of the greatest captains you ever had,” someone says in the video ...

I doubt he'll get an invite to meet Trump unlike the convicted war criminal Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher who was denounced by his own platoon mates as "evil" and "toxic".

Yes I read about that. It's disgusting the way he has been treated.

All the ICU patients are 50 or younger



Usually the maximum is 13

They currently have 16
There is another facility set up for 8 more
There is an area in preparation for a further 22

These will be filled probably with 7 days.
They are going to run out of staff before they run out of ventilators 1 patient needs 5 staff.
