BBC News: Reports " People are heeding the advice to stay at home to keep pressure off the NHS, and there are early signs that it is working, the UK's chief scientific adviser has said. "
Lets Get Real:
There is a glimmer of hope that the self isolation and social distancing of people is working. That the NHS will be able to cope when COVID - 19 reaches its peak over the next two weeks in the UK. As reported yesterday the Government restrictions could last for six months, that will take a toll on people and the UK economy. The question that has to be asked, what is more important, the health of people or the economy, how even if the people follow the orders from the Government the economy could be in a the bin. Also taxes will have to go up to pay for the UK Government bailing out workers and those that are self employed. At some point a call will have to be made, as long as the Covid - 19 infections are going down and the death total is also going down, when do you open the economy, nothing ever perfect in life, it will be a tough call for the PM and the UK Government.
