One lesson of the global financial crisis of 2008 was that the quality of a nation’s leaders and technocrats is quite important. We are now learning that lesson again. https://t.co/4eyVUSeVpX

China may be on the cusp of stopping domestic transmission of #Covid19. They reported only 19 new cases on March 9, & 17 deaths. But China is now importing cases from elsewhere so still at risk.
Totals there: 80754 cases, 3136 deaths & nearly 60,000 patients recovered. pic.twitter.com/fvIBiX4xeQ— Helen Branswell 🇨🇦 (@HelenBranswell) March 10, 2020

BREXITSHAMBLES BRITAIN
Current panic buying is a small taste of what Brexit no deal 2.0 (or even a minimal deal) could bring. Very few people know the complex, hidden logistics of supply chains and regulation that deliver what they take for granted as 'just the way things are'.

They've had immunity from their policy of austerity, as they will have from their shitty Brexit. But now, after a decade of privileged Tories deliberately targeting the poorest and most vulnerable in society, this shitstain pleads with us to 'think of others.'
We have, always. https://t.co/sCjkK0K98q

It is a “poor use of time” for a U.K. Government Minister to try to interfere with & bully an independent statutory body. Given the disaster that is #Brexit Gove should be giving all his attention to mitigating its effect on businesses & England’s failing public services. https://t.co/TrIcIeC9xU
