Yep Raab makes Boris look clever.

The US has their first confirmed case of Human to Feline transfer of the virus after a Tiger showed symptoms in a zoo. Both the keeper and Tiger tested positive and the keeper was asymptomatic.

In other news, as much as I laughed at the irony of Boris contracting the virus, I do hope he makes a full recovery. I also hope the NHS gets fully supported financially off the back of this to protect it for years to come.

Bragging about shaking hands with people in hospital hasn't aged very well.

I hope he and anyone else who has it makes a full recovery.

I wish him and everyone suffering cv19 a speedy recovery.

Sadly I suspect Boris could be fighting for his life. Scary times and alot of uncertainty and death lie ahead.

Boris is around day 15-20 on that chart, and in the ICU phase. If he progresses to the next stages things look challenging to say the least.

I too suspect he is going to be fighting for his life soon. On top of his age he is one very stressed person who probably doesn't know how to unwind and thus never has. His body has 2 battles going on right now. The virus battle and the "stopping for the first time in decades" battle.

I do wish him and all other suffering the best. The good news is that he does have more than 90% chance of beating it. If you were given those odds for cancer you would feel 'somewhat' confident about recovery.

My wife is collecting and making comfort parcels to give out in Hospital, as people arent getting visitors at the moment. Hopefully cheer people up at times of trouble. A random act of kindness goes a long way.

We asked neighbours and friends for any support or donations they would like to contribute. Some people have very kindly donated some lovely gifts but very humbling and generously a family we dont know have posted £200 through our front door to support the course.

In a world of sh1t there are still good guys left, which these days is very refreshing to know (y)

Wouldn't surprise me if out stats look more like the American numbers. There are too my people in this country who don't think this is serious and won't happen to them.

The number of people dawdling round the shop today in couples looking at tat and sweets was unreal.

The chickens will come home to roost at some point. Ten years of starving the NHS of cash is going to get nasty.

At some point the high numbers are simply a statistic, I think.
The higher they are, the more de-humanizing they become.

Couple of big RAF C17 Globemaster aircraft flew over today.

Think there bring medical supplies for Manchester Nightingale hospital.
