Johnson isn't alone in his decision making lets all remember we have some of the best scientific brains in the world advising him and there are justifiable reasons behind all the decision .

I belong to a large health support group and it is rife with silly speculation and rumours masquerading as 'facts', it really isn't helpful and causes unnecessary anxiety and it doesn't help our situation.
The advice to listen to is that coming directly from the government and their spokesmen or the official sites.
Well said Meg, I completely agree

He looks terribly stressed today. But they are getting their act together and seem to be working well as a team which is reassuring.

I wonder where or why these silly 'facts' start. What do people get out of starting rumours?

LD I belong to a big health support group with some very ill people and the silly rumours have caused some of them great anxiety . There are also the fake news items like drinking a particular substance will stop them catching the virus all easily checked on as fake news on Snopes .

Re: Don't Blame Boris.

Hi

I do not the way it is being Politicised.

Some of the comments from the Labour MPs have been ridiculous.

Both sides have the same expert advisers so the science will not change.

Corbyn saying he will refuse to self isolate is simply sending the wrong message.

I can imagine. People are anxious enough as it is, without some idiot starting fake news.

Corbyn is being a tw@t. Still it's nice to see that some things remain unchanged.
