From the bbc just now...

Mr Eustice is asked if when the prime minister is back at work he will follow the first ministers of Scotland and Wales in publishing a lockdown exit plan.
Report Cider April 26, 2020 5:16 PM BST
There's a very bizarre dichotomy of some people being extremely concerned about the number of people still being killed by the virus in hospitals, care homes etc, but are also desperate to know when and how exactly the various lock down measures will be unwound. I suggest that they will find out the strategy for beginning to unwind the measures before they actually occur.
Report Angoose April 26, 2020 5:29 PM BST
Some of the population are able to simultaneously contemplate multiple information sets.
Report Cider April 26, 2020 5:32 PM BST
Some are also beginning to break the lock down measures also, as the data speaks to, and don't need much of an excuse to take more chances. Just because I'm sensible and rational doesn't mean I ascribe those traits to 50+ million others.

Around half a million people die in the UK every year on average. Many of those being killed by covid 19 would have been in that 500K this year anyway, around 60% of them. Recessions kill more people early, indirectly. We won't know the full toll, or who handled it best overall for several years.

A female in the east of the country, who travelled here from northern Italy, was confirmed as the second case of coronavirus in Ireland.

At the briefing on this new case, Chief Medical Officer Tony Holohan said he saw no reason why, as things stood, that the St Patrick's Day festival should not go ahead.
