Never forget, the Dr Jenny Harries, deputy chief medical officer, who is advocating returning children to school is the same #JennyHarries who said that holding the Cheltenham Races was perfectly ok.
So society’s *real* key workers have just been revealed.
Not the bankers. Not the traders. Not the elite hedge fund managers.
It’s the nurses. The doctors. The delivery drivers. The carers. The porters. The teachers. The shelf stackers. The check out staff.

Foreign Office now advising against all but essential travel ANYWHERE outside UK initally for 30 days.
This is the key trigger for most travel insurance policies so if you have a trip booked in that time - you are usually due a refund even if flight/hotel still on. Pls share.
Practical suggestions. We need to:
1. Resume testing, like most countries in the world. Testing helps break chains of transmission.
2. Social distancing to slow down spread like working from home, stop non-essential travel, stop large gatherings.
3. Protect health workers.
I'm trying to share that we are on an extremely dangerous path based on computer simulations which we have yet to see. Social distancing works to slow transmission & buy time to get in the PPE to protect our health workers. We need stronger measures now.
