Please let’s all keep going & follow the guidelines for your safety and everyone else’s.
Calls to UK Domestic Abuse Helplines have more than doubled since the lockdown. Victims should know that if they are in danger, they can dial 999, then - when prompted - press 55 and remain silent. Police will know that the caller is in danger and cannot speak. Spread this wide.
Larry David has a message for those not staying at home.
"The problem is you're passing up a fantastic opportunity -- a once in a lifetime opportunity -- to stay in the house, sit on the couch and watch TV. I don't know how you're passing that up."
