No sure what the WHAT if for but basically did the virus come from a market where they don't sell bat or the bat virus research lab a few hundred meters away?
Don't think we will ever get the real answer Simon do you?
I know which my money is on.
Anyone continuing to break coronavirus lockdown rules will be breaking the law and faces arrest.
People ignoring tougher restrictions on movement could be hit with a £60 fine initially and another for £120 for a second offence.
New powers given to police in England mean no-one will be allowed to leave their home "without reasonable excuse".
The measures come into force on Thursday and will last six months, with a review every three weeks.
To ensure people stay at home and avoid non-essential travel, police will be able to order people to go home, leave an area or disperse.
The new powers mean officers can:
If they still refuse to comply, police can arrest them.
However, the Home Office, in announcing the new rules, said that "in the first instance, the police will always apply their common sense and discretion."

The new powers mean officers can:
- ensure parents are doing all they can to stop their children breaking the rules
- issue a £60 fixed penalty, lowered to £30 if paid within 14 days
- issue a £120 fixed penalty for second-time offenders, doubling on each further repeat offence
If they still refuse to comply, police can arrest them.

And selfish idiots still don't get it.
Self-employed workers will be able to apply for a grant of up to £2,500 a month to help them cope with the financial impact of coronavirus, the chancellor has announced.
The money will be paid in a single lump sum, but will not begin to arrive until the start of June at the earliest.
Rishi Sunak told the self-employed: "You have not been forgotten."
Plans for 80% wage subsidies for staff kept on by employers were announced last week.

Anyone who coughs on key workers as a threat amid the coronavirus crisis will face serious criminal charges.
The warning from the Director of Public Prosecutions for England and Wales comes after reports of essential workers being coughed at by people claiming they have the virus.
Max Hill QC said he was "appalled" by the incidents and the full force of the law would be used.
Two men in England have already been convicted - one of them jailed.
Coughs or spits directed at key workers - or threats to do so - can be considered crimes if they were meant to harm or cause fear, with criminals charged with common assault.
In England and Wales, common assault can lead to six months in prison - and attacks against emergency workers going about their duties carry a maximum sentence of two years.
Mr Hill said: "Emergency workers are more essential than ever as society comes together to tackle the coronavirus pandemic.
"I am therefore appalled by reports of police officers and other frontline workers being deliberately coughed at by people claiming to have Covid-19."

Nothing for newly self employed or gig workers. Plus no money till june. Two months is a loooooong time for a self employed person. So only universal credit available till june and there are 1/2 million new claims since abour last week.. The UC system is competley overwhelmed. Glad Im not self employed/gig worker
Its not ideal M but its a lot better than it was.
In any scenario with emergency measures there is not one size fits all

You right. Previously there was nothing. People on the blogs as talking about a (temporary?) universal income would be far easier to impliment though

Chippy, are you aware they've change the criteria for recording deaths? They only now record deaths when the family give consent rather than recording any and all deaths from the virus
I did read that earlier are the figures for new cases etc still updated?
Yesterdays UK figures first four columns.
| 9,529 | +1,452 | 465 | +43 |
Todays figures showing now.
Yeah that figure of 12 comes from 9 in Wales and 3 in Scotland the England figures have not been published yet is the way I believe it
