@Liiamfx @spencermorgan93 If you watch “lockdown 1.0” on bbc iPlayer they explain that it was only when Italy locked down that the government could get away with doing the same here. That was almost their licence to go ahead with it. Until then it was unthinkable

@whiterose_lady @uclh @xandvt @BBCMorningLive @BBCiPlayer I'm sure demand increased after lockdown down and other measures.
None of this is surprising.
Sadly your comms team & 111 were not nearly as effective as the purposeful government propaganda
In which the aim was to scare people more (as they weren't deemed to be scared enough)

Hi @virginmedia It seems there is no longer a way of reporting a fault to VM except through Twitter. BBC iPlayer is no longer working on my V360 box. My VM status shows No problems. But there is a problem. Can you tell what is being done about it? I’m not the only one affected.

@whiterose_lady @uclh @xandvt @BBCMorningLive @BBCiPlayer The issue with your null hypothesis is that curtailing access to health care and encouraging people NOT to see their doctor.
Would have no impact on healthcare.
Try and imagine that.
Imagine if Boris had said
"If I get elected, I'll restrict access to healthcare"
Imagine!
