Bang him up, or at the very least sack him. What idiot would want to shop at the grocery store that he works in. He's probably spat on all the food as a 'joke'!

He was lucky to get bail by the sounds of it, don't think he'll be so lucky in keeping his job

The Judge should have overruled the prosecution and police and just thrown is bum in prison and left him to rot there until he is 70.

They should do that with penny shavers but his real crime is stupidity. Losing his job should be sufficient. Covid-19 aside, spitting at people isn't just childish, it's so, so disgusting.

Interesting from Trump "We were attacked" - I don't like where this could be heading.

That ship has sailed. Fox news has been calling it the Wuhan Virus for weeks and then Trump started to call it the Chinese virus. He's been circling the wagons for a while.

When its all over you can be sure the conspiracy theorists and right wing media will have a field day. Only a matter of time before somebody writes a book saying the Chinese 'invented and released' the virus to destabalise the world economy.

What are people's thoughts regarding how long the curfew will last, and more importantly, what will happen once the curfew is up?

I think the curfew could last several months, but I don't know what BJ plans to do once it's over. Are we going to have to sit around waiting for a vaccine, or some other medication which slows the spread/severity, before being allowed out again?

If it took just one person to bring the virus over to the UK, then allowing the thousands of people who likely have the virus to all leave their homes at once will just ignite the whole thing all over again.

Well, funny you should say that... I've just watched a pretty long youtube video, I'll post the link & I'll leave it to whoever watches to make their own minds up. This is right on the edge of what I've seen & I neither agree or disagree with what this guy says but this is taking the virus to a whole other level https://youtu.be/28eV6tcboUc

Don't make me watch all of it! Give me a gist

I would watch it but I'm watching Ricky Gervais compilations on youtube

No way, I would ruin it for you.

My personal opinion is that we will be in & out of curfews for the next 12 months minimum. I think we will go through smaller peaks each time until eventually enough of us have built up an immunity, this being the only way to not overwhelm the NHS at any one time or peak. Tbh, everything is speculation but it will become clearer as time goes by and data gets better.

Within a few minutes, critics of - it would seem - his previous content has been dismissed as "clearly" having not bothered to look at his stuff, and he goes to an us and them by saying only those who agrees with him have a critical sense and intelligence.

No actual response to the critisism.

On to a bombastic conclusion.....and now "I'll go on to prove it."

He may or may not be on to something. There's just too much interesting stuff in this World to spend an hour on someone, who shows all the tell tell signs of a fraud within the first two minutes. If he's on to something, then more serious people will pick it on and carry on his work.

As each day passes, I become increasingly pessimistic about where society might be heading, not only in the UK, but pretty much everywhere. In the mid to longer term, what an extended lockdown period could result in is a ghastly thought on many different levels.

I did pick up on that too but I'm always keen to be open minded and usually find that I have dismissed or agreed with something by the end... this is that out there that I haven't done either. I do like watching content that isn't just a reproduction of someone elses work & I think this is definitely one of those.

Nobel winning economist Paul Krugman like these charts too but cropping out where they came from & by whom was contemptible of him.

• UK still tracking Italy. Death toll doubling every 2.8 days
• US curve still steepening, could reach 1,000 new daily deaths within next 3-4 days
