I'd suggest "Whatever it takes" and "Protect Lives" are buys.
What we really want is a market on which famous politicians/cabinet members/celebrities get it.
Doctors are talking of an “explosive growth” in numbers, say local press reports, after the first four cases were reported only last Friday.
About 20 of the cases have been traced back to a single socialite from the capital city of Montevideo who went to a 500-guest wedding the same night after she returned from Spain on 7 March.
The woman in question, Carmela Hontou, who has been diagnosed with the virus, has been giving interviews defending her assistance and adding that she also had lunch with her 84-year-old mother upon arrival and went to a lunch the next day “where there were also a lot of people.”
Asked by a reporter if she didn’t consider it unwise to mingle in large crowds, given her situation, Hontou answered: “That’s ridiculous, plus, do you know how many people came in that plane?”
Audio WhatsApp messages by friends of the woman and other wedding guests have circulated widely in Uruguay, expressing disbelief and anger at her attitude. The authorities have also intervened in the case of Hontou’s two sons, after security guards at her building reported to the authorities Tuesday that they have been allegedly visiting their mother and then going about their business as usual in Montevideo."

Its a big white ship with a big red cross.
Almost straight out of Airplane! Trump tired and stressed.
Support a bookmaker. Make a bet. You know it makes sense.
Not my kind of livestream, but know we have some other gamers here.
Nobody is going anywhere for several months.
I seem to be the only one oh here with such opinions, so I will try not to be a boor by going on and on about it, but I do want to state for the record that this will not help, there may be a few contrary that avoid this sort of thing and in the long run will be much better for it. I would like to think that at that point, at least somebody remembers and reflects on this warning,

Having many suddenly unoccupied premises, a large number of which may not have shutters - and a load of idle teenagers hanging around not all of whom will be up to good - could be a recipe for disaster.
There's an assumption many are showing that businesses once shut can quickly resume business afterwards. Not true if the business is trashed by chavs.
Lots of stuff about SSDs.
But what if he says "National Health Service"? People sometimes do. Need to check on that.
'After Dow Down Deeper and Down' we now have 'Whatever You Want'
Which one next?
I thought he was supposed to be isolating?
A restaurant with its windows smashed, kitchen equipment smashed, glasses, crockery etc smashed and walls spraypainted etc may struggle to re-open. If the business is unoccupied, that could affect its insurance too. Somebody needs to be thinking these things through.
Actually, on a more serious note, with sport largely closed down, bookies and non-financial spread bet firms must be in big trouble.
Edit: I see @Benpointer has already made this point.
Tesco. Relatively quiet in terms of people, but significant sections of the store had been stripped
Co-op. Nowhere near as bad as Tesco. Bog Roll aisle completely bare. Printed signs on shelf advising 1 unit per customer, but no products at all for sale
Asda. Heavily shopped, the bulk lager section had been picked clean!
Morrisons. Quite busy but again large sections wiped out. Checkout lass said its been horrible all week. "People come surging in at 7am when the doors open, look for stuff we don't have like toilet rolls then start shouting at us."
Will now up planned production vs my recommendation of lunchtime. Retailer data systems not keeping up with reality in store. Have had some relatively large orders on relatively slow lines where 12 weeks of stock appears to have gone in 12 days. A lot of people planning to bake yummy gluten free bread whilst stuck at home...
If you look at Italy, the graph for new cases per day and new deaths per day follow a similar pattern with deaths lagging cases by about 4 days.
If you look at Iran, the graph for new deaths shows a steady increase, while the graph of new cases has flattened out at about 1,000-1,200 per day. This clearly shows Iran is fiddling the figures (or they simply aren't testing enough.)
Edited extra bit: not 100% of games but the vast majority.
The Chancellor yesterday unveiled a wide range of measures to tackle coronavirus. Does my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister agree that it is vital that we do whatever we can to get through this as a country?
Anyway, it turns out Boris does agree we should do whatever we can to get through this as a country, so the MP's sacrifice was not in vain and has added bigly to the sum of human knowledge. Well done that MP.

I can't help thinking that these young doctors are about to go through something every bit as traumatic as taking part in a war. They are going to see a lot of death first hand. They are going to have to make very difficult choices. They are going to be working their arses off and they are almost certainly going to get sick.
I wonder how many of them will still be in the profession in 5 years time.
MILAN — As the official death toll from Italy's coronavirus outbreak passes 2,500, a silent surge in fatalities in nursing homes, where dozens of patients a day are dying untested for the virus, suggests the real total may be higher.
Official data show that nearly 30,000 people have been confirmed as positive for the coronavirus in Italy, the highest number outside China where the virus first emerged.
But strict testing rules mean only patients hospitalized with severe symptoms are normally being swab tested.
While no detailed data is available, officials, nurses and relatives say there has been a spike in nursing home deaths in the worst affected regions of northern Italy since the virus emerged, and they are not showing up in coronavirus statistics.
"There are significant numbers of people who have died but whose death hasn't been attributed to the coronavirus because they died at home or in a nursing home and so they weren't swabbed," said Giorgio Gori, mayor of the town of Bergamo.
Gori said there had been 164 deaths in his town in the first two weeks of March this year, of which 31 were attributed to the coronavirus. That compares with 56 deaths over the same period last year.
Even adding the 31 coronavirus deaths to that total would leave 77 additional deaths, an increase that suggests the virus may have caused significantly more deaths than officially recorded.
Tanzi declined to give full numbers, but said on just one day last week there had been 18 deaths at his facility of patients with respiratory difficulties - symptoms associated with the coronavirus.
Walter Montini, president of ARSAC, the association grouping 30 old people's homes in Cremona province, said that at one small care home with 36 beds, there were 7 deaths in a day.
I have faith in the youngsters. They are the equals of any other generation.

Stop f##king leaking...its is massively irresponsible.
I have an ongoing medical issue which I am dealing with on the telephone with my GP practice and they are excellent. They have thanked my wife and I for going into isolation and have said that my high risk factor is an issue over the attendance at the practice though in the end I will be given an appointment. I have full confidence in them but it is clear I cannot breach the isolation
Yesterday my granddaughter 17 went down with a 38 degree temperature and now my daughter, son in law, and grandson are in lockdown for 14 days. Indeed my grandson will not be going back to his school as he moves up in September and the school closes on friday. They cannot help us for the rest of the month.
And now back to the supermarkets, my delivery for tomorrow sees lots of out of stock items and it is a joke. I have not been able to source hand santiser from anywhere since the start of covid 19 nor surface cleaners and paracetamol
The need to supply the most important items to those of us isolated for at least 12 weeks must be addressed as we cannot just get in the car and shop around
So many problems and no easy solutions.
I wonder when our idiotic media will stop their constant whinging, and do they really need to be filming outside the construction of new mortuaries in London

There is a link to the Profumo affair because "Dr" Stephen Ward was qualified as a doctor in America but our GMC did not recognise foreign qualifications so Ward was only an osteopath here.
FWIW i have heard from 2 sources that they will be deploying shortly

Looks like "Whatever it Takes" is leading so far.
The other housemate works for the NHS, and has been told to carry on going in to work, apparently. Will find out more tonight, but this sounds odd, to say the least.
No doubt the army will be deployed for various reasons at some point. Nothing to do with these “rumours” though. And in this social media world “multiple” sources means nothing unless they are first hand.
Right now I believe he is the most dangerous leader in this crisis
Trump is China, China, China, China, China....
Meanwhile, saw loo roll on the shelves of the local Chinese supermarket this afternoon...
