Reasons why you can't compare the UK with Italy:

Italy had no warning and entered a full lockdown almost immediately

The UK had thee weeks notice and we just got told to 'sing happy birthday whilst washing your hands'

That pesky Coronavirus! Magically disappearing on Christmas Day, but not Eid

Can't wait to go and play some good old tennis in the park with some strangers, but I can't give my fiancée a hug after 8 weeks!! Cheers Boris.

#StayAlert

Cover your drinks.
Don't walk alone after dark.
Don't go to work.
Wear clothes that hide your skin.

Oh oops my mistake, these are rules which women have to follow in order to #StayAlert in this sexist society.

Such an interesting read!!

My mum lived thru the Blitz. She’s boycotting VE Day to protest equating it with the pandemic. She says everyone was sick of Vera Lynn- it wasn’t a victory but a relief. People wanted peace n bread. They didn’t want to make do and mend. They wanted jobs.

South Korea and the US had their first reported case on the same day.

Today, South Korea has reduced daily cases by 90%. In the US, 70,000 Americans have died and unemployment has hit 14.7%.

The difference: competent government that heeds experts. Vote for that in November.

Simply do not understand how people are clapping for the NHS but are still having friends and family over for barbecues, and voting Tory. You don't fight fire with fire.

@ctab82485789 Thanks!! :)

[Kate @_KateAllison_]

@ocoalex55 So then the government should have enforced a stricter lockdown like Spain and Italy. They also should have done something about it in those 3 weeks rather than sit back and wait

[Kate @_KateAllison_]

@kxyinlax It's very true! But other factors have to be taken into account, such as London being 3x bigger than the largest Italian city and the population of the UK being 6 million larger.

Also I appreciate that there is a typo in this tweet, I am a tired uni student who is revising for exams don't come for me

Downing Street says the London NHS Nightingale Hospital will be placed "on standby" with
no new COVID-19 admissions expected in coming days

Do journalists and newspapers ever give any positive news? What a way to make people feel even worse in a bad situation.
