V useful thread of policy timeline. One thing left off here - on the day the whole of italy went into total lockdown , we were encouraging crowds of 60,000 at Cheltenham races. Why was that not ringing alarm bells ?

@richrobby @FrizzleFelicity @realDonaldTrump @GOP Hard to believe fools are still refusing to face the facts despite a whole industry doing fact-checking....

@NaplesAlleycat @liljosh1991 @nurete @HallMaryannhall @KFILE > no one knew what they were doing.

True.

This is a shame as Obama very successfully handled previous outbreaks and his team specifically gave Trump's incomers a training session on how to handle a flu-like pandemic.

Pity it was wasted on idiots.

@NaplesAlleycat @liljosh1991 @nurete @HallMaryannhall @KFILE No, he didn't send any ships anywhere. He announced that he would, but neither ship is actually available, and neither ship has the necessary medical staff.

At some unknown time in the future, both ships *might* arrive, but incompetent @realDonaldTrump has no idea how or when.

@richrobby @FrizzleFelicity @realDonaldTrump Proof?

Still, since @realDonaldTrump has told more than 16,000 lies, I'd have thought you liked liars. The @GOP is lies all the way down....

[Ask Jack blog @Ask_Jack]

@FrizzleFelicity @realDonaldTrump Your graph is seriously out of date. Current total for USA cases is 22,132.....

[Maddow Blog @MaddowBlog]

Maddow: If Trump is going to keep lying like he has been every day on stuff this important, we should, all of us, stop broadcasting it. Honestly, it's going to cost lives.

@NeilFlochMD I'm not knowledgeable about masks (apart from having done some home research to buy a couple). However, my understanding is that N95 and FFP2 are usable but P100 and FFP3 are better.

3M seems to be the highly rated brand but there are few/none for sale.

A good illustration of why the surgical hand washing technique is really very important

Clearly this must mean easyJet has no need of state support or taxpayer bailouts and the government should act accordingly, surely?

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

I literally can’t believe I’m saying this but @Jeremy_Hunt is the man of the moment. ‘Herd immunity’ was catastrophic mistake. We must ‘test, test, test.’ NHS workers must urgently get proper protective equipment. Yes, yes, yes

@lproven @Quora I'm going the full McEnroe here. You're a well known published technology writer! Is @Quora really too stupid to use Google?

No wonder they can't handle even the most obvious troll questions....

@Mizzou_Cards_NO @PpollingNumbers @MorningConsult Trump's peak for letting people die from flu is an estimated 61,000.

At least Obama took it seriously & acted quickly enough to save more lives than he lost. @realDonaldTrump just made the USA defenseless, failed to act, then screwed up by lying about it.

You're an asshole.

@MikiB007 @JeremyVineOn5 @DrSarahJarvis @theJeremyVine Absolutely correct.

UK government response has been pathetically inadequate compared to, say, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan, and will result in many unnecessary deaths. I just hope I'm not one of them....
