Just driven past the local bingo hall - car park was full so it’s eyes down rather than lock down.

I agree Graham this is definitely "don't panic Mr Mainwaring" time.
True, but neither is it "Carry on Regardless". It's not about whether or not we become infected with the virus, it's about who else we infect before we know we've got it. There are plenty of people out there with compromised immune systems who would suffer very badly indeed were they to catch it. I was referring, mainly, to the repeated posting of incorrect (or fake if you will) information...

Surely you can't have a ventilator shortage. The news over here has made it clear that Trump is exclusively responsible for our shortage. Obviously that means the rest of the world saw this coming and upped their ventilator reserves a long time ago.

Not at the moment but it is anticipated that we might The UK has around 5,000 ventilators in the NHS which was sufficient with headroom but may not be enough when levels of hospitalisation reaches its peak

If I get it I want a ventilator made by JCB ....real heavy duty proper job ..... and a nice cheery shade of yellow !!  I doubt our current ventilator manufacturer does a night shift ....with current staff supervising engineers/technicians drafted in from other firms it must be possible . K

K From what I have gathered, it isn't as simple as telling the manufacturers to increase production, they rely on certain parts made abroad to assemble the equipment, and most of these parts are from China which unfortunately is either closed or in limited production capacity at the moment.
