Dear @RishiSunak Please put politics aside. Think if it were your wife or one of your girls lying in an ambulance or hospital corridor with no one able to attend to them. Show your humanity and call a state of emergency and urgent COBRA meeting

Absolutely appalled at Oliver Dowden DCMS who has banned 'amateur' singers in groups of more than 6 from performing indoors - even socially distanced. But no such ban for football and 'live' music fans who can sing & chant in close proximity!

The new online safety laws being proposed by the Government will give Ofcom power to crackdown on social media companies - but will fail to cover online scams. Will you sign this petition to call on Boris Johnson to tackle this crisis? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitio… via @38_degrees

What does a mask do? Blocks respiratory droplets coming from your mouth and throat. Two simple demos: First, I sneezed, sang, talked & coughed toward an agar culture plate with or without a mask. Bacteria colonies show where droplets landed. A mask blocks virtually all of them.
