Good luck policing that, whole sections of our society have no respect for authority, think nothing of stabbing each other, or a police officer, and their going to pay attention when you tell them to stay indoors!

They're unlikely to come out of their shelters and expose themselves. What will they wear protective clothing when they arrest people?
I agree with potlis, the UK police are a joke.They're unlikely to come out of their shelters and expose themselves. What will they wear protective clothing when they arrest people?
If they did impose a lockdown and the police caught you out on streets, you've only got to tell them you're on your way to the mosque and they'd soon back down.

Lockdown,then the roll out of 5G and with the ill health that brings,we then beg for a vaccine. Those who survive that are forced out of their properties and imprisoned into mega smart cities-5G surveillance and control,a cashless points system where every word and thought is heard. Slaves to the Elite where you live or die by their rules,forget leaving,you can never leave but are masters have the rest of the world to live the life. Agenda 30 wants 7 Billion dead by 2025 so the good news is,we are highly unlikely to live though that hell on earth.

The updates were coming into the situation room thick and fast – and the news was not good. The virus was spreading.
The former deputy director of the CIA took off her glasses, rubbed her eyes, and addressed the panel.
“We also have to consider that terrorists could take advantage of this situation,” she said. “We’re looking at the possibility of famine. There is the potential for outbreaks of secondary diseases.”
One of her aides lent forward, and handed her a note. She read it quickly, and continued: “I have an update from my staff. I’ve been told that several governments have fallen, and others are teetering.”
If it sounds like a scene from a disaster film, the organisers would be pleased: that was their intention. On Friday a panel of 15 high-powered international figures gathered in the ballroom of a New York hotel to “game” a scenario in which a pandemic is raging across the world, killing millions.
It’s not at all far-fetched.
“I fully expect that we will be confronted by a fast-moving global pandemic,” said Dr Mike Ryan, executive director of the World Health Organisation (WHO) health emergencies programme.
Addressing participants – and the 150 observers – before the scenario began, he said that the WHO deals with 200 epidemics every year. It’s only a matter of time before one of those becomes a pandemic – defined as a disease prevalent over a whole country or the world.
“The issues may be table top scenarios today, but they could be real tomorrow,” he said. “This is our new normal.”
The 15 panelists were not acting; rather they were behaving as themselves, and responding to the best of their experience to the situations presented to them. “Aides” would hand them updates, which they would share with the panel and discuss.
The lights went down, and the spooky music begun to play – Dragon’s Den meets X Factor, with a plague thrown in.
An anchor with the fictional Global News Network (GNN) set the scene. The imaginary Coronavirus, originally from pigs, was spreading fast throughout South America, causing a respiratory condition known as CAPS – similar to the real-life SARS and MERS outbreaks. The airborne disease was up to four times as lethal as the virus which killed 50-100 million in the 1918 flu pandemic – the last serious pandemic to hit. Chen Huang, the anchor, looked worried.
Now it was over to the panel. What advice would the team give to governments about to handle this, asked Tom Inglesby, director of the John Hopkins centre for health security, and chair of the “Event 201” discussion. The event was organised jointly by John Hopkins, the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Adrian Thomas, the vice president of global public health for pharmaceutical firm Johnson & Johnson, said it was essential to have “clarity around the need” – where was the virus spreading fastest?
Jane Halton, former president of the World Health Assembly and adviser to the Australian government, chair of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness, stressed the need to ensure that low and middle-income countries were not forced out of the way by richer countries.
“Chile has a three per cent fatality, while Ecuador’s is five per cent,” noted Canadian academic Timothy Grant Evans, a former health director at the World Bank, looking at the slides presented to the team. “What is Chile doing right? What can we learn?”
For the next three hours the discussion continued, with Mr Inglesby directing the thematic debates: how to allocate and distribute antivirals? Should limits be placed on trade and travel, to stop the spread of the virus? How best to mitigate the economic and financial crisis caused by the pandemic?
The panel would “convene” every three weeks, with the death toll rising and the virus spreading.
“We’re not sure how big this could get, but there is no end in sight,” said Chen Huang, the GNN anchor, grimly.
How, the panel were asked, could they stop disinformation?
George Fu Gao, the director-general of the Chinese Centre for Disease Control, told how, while in Sierra Leone during the Ebola crisis of 2014-16, he was told by a health worker: “We believe Ebola is man made.”
Avril Haines, the former CIA deputy director, sitting next to Mr Gao, nodded.
“Having a trusted source, and really guiding everyone to that for information, is incredibly important,” she said – adding that survivors of the virus, faith leaders and multinational agencies all had a role to play.
As the lights came up for a final time, millions were dead. The pandemic had ravaged the globe, Huang said, sparking rioting and the collapse of many governments. It would take decades to return to pre-pandemic order.
“This has been great, but I will go back to Zurich and talk about it, and other business leaders will say: ‘Yes, we know, but we have business to do,’” admitted Martin Knuchel head of crisis for Lufthansa.
A list of suggestions was drawn up – more finance, better sharing of information, more planning. The WHO has already staged 50 such scenarios worldwide; more need to be held.
Anita Cicero, deputy director at John Hopkins, left the panel, the observers, and the online watchers with a final question.
“Are we as a global community ready to do the hard work needed to stop the next pandemic

The Lombardy region in northern Italy ranks among the most air polluted areas of Europe. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0013935116300834
I can really feel when there's smog, I suffer all winter long," 45-year old Milan local Fabio Cigognini told AFP, describing the asthma-like symptoms which plague him during the cold months.
"We breathe in poison, but no one tells us anything," he said.
"The Po Valley is very unhappily situated for atmospheric pollution in terms of climate and geography," says Damiano Disimine, head scientist in the Lombardy for Italy's environmentalist lobby Legambiente. "Wind is rare and there are frequent and prolonged episodes of climatic inversion. This means that the air is colder in the plains than in the mountains, and is still," he said.
"On a European scale, the air pollution level is comparable only to southern Poland, where there is a coal industry and frightening sources of pollution".

Sky news had a shot of a construction site this morning with Kay Burley criticising workers for not distancing, she probably had the makeup/hairdresser team hovering around her for an hour before the show started.

Another car crash interview and this time it is the Care Minister who has done a Nikki Lauda.
I have never liked Piers Morgan. He is a bully and a BMW but for me he is the only man in the country holding this Government to account.
Whately and yesterday Coffey were disastrous. They are professional politicians and should know their Brief and should also know how to deal with bullies and big mouths like Morgan. Where is Cummings? Maybe he wants Sunak as Prime Minister.
Today the Care Minister did not have a scooby about how many NHS staff had died and also Care Workers who she should know as it is her Brief.
What is worse than the way Morgan behaves is the fact that the people he is seeking answers from are ineot and people are dying because of it.

I can’t disagree with any of that but by the same token we need some answers. Morgan was searching for answers. Look Chump blocked flights from China which was the right thing to do but he only did it to snub China.
Not sure what point I am trying to make here but these incompetent people are costing lives. The people need to know the truth.

The day of reckoning is a long way off.

He answers his own questions. Pointless going on there to be lectured by motorgob.
He does have valid concerns about numerous topics but his shouting and gobwittery makes him unwatchable.

Did you any of you see Hitchens on GMB a few weeks ago?
Morgan met his match and was made to look equally stupid and conceited by Hitchens whose bombast and conceit matched Morgan. It was of course an appalling sideshow as a news item but excellent car crash tv.
I do like the fact that Morgan seeks answers to questions and stops them midst waffle but yes he is a horrible man.
I have to be honest. I never watch GMB. Mrs ‘Death does because she has little interest in news, current affairs and politics. I used to drink my coffee in a different room so I could watch BBC and Sky but now I am glued to my morning butchering of a Ministers career and I love it!
