O/T Prince Charles Tests Positive

RA it seems that at the moment 50% of those that go into critical care are surviving and they are mostly over 70, there is anecdotal evidence that quite a few fit people in their 70's and over are just having mild symptoms and why would you not expect Charles who after all has had very good medical on hand all his life and is in good health not to be OK?

The Police question is interesting, in that examples have been given where they have acted beyond the legislation and government advice - so for instance a force attempted to stop a corner shop selling easter eggs on the basis they werent essential - no such advice or instruction has been given by the government. Nor has the government said people cannot drive to somehwere for their exercise and neither does the legislation prohibit this, Derbyshire Police seem to be very heavy handed. Some Police forces have issued a lot of summons, 100's in one case, Bedfordshire Police have issued none, West Yorkshire are having road blocks and issuing tickets, The Met aren't.

So we have inconsistency of approach and some forces who seem to enjoy their ability to be jobsworths - after all its easier to do this than hard police work isn't it? We police by consent in this country and having seen how some other police forces around the world police I'm glad we do, so yes it is a concern, there needs to be proportionality applied and the Police need to work with the public and tackle flagrant abuses - parties large gatherings rather than people who are observing social distancing but not in a manner interpreted by an specific police force.

We don't actually need to stay indoors, we need to avoid contact with others who are not of the same household, its not the same thing!

News today of a 101 year old exiting intensive care, totally cured. If that doesn't give us all hope then nothing will.

Another encouraging story was about the newsreader, George Alaghia, MA.

He’s suffering Stage 4 cancer but while his most recent tests showed that all was well with his chemo treatment etc, they also revealed that he actually had Covid-19!
His reaction? ‘Well if that’s it I’ve got away with it.’ He looked and sounded really well.

If he's going through stage 4 cancer, corona probably made him piss his pants.
He's as hard as nails to anything else and I salute him
