This is likely government spin, there is no legal requirement for consent for anonymised data.
i might actually check out odeon/vue. they are so out of the way here but i have been thinking of it anyway for a while.Thanks for this. Disgusting treatment from Cineworld, i've just deleted the app from my phone and won't be going there again.
"Yeah we're going shopping"Just breaking on Sky News - but North Yorkshire Police are going to be using checkpoints to ask people whether their travel is essential.
Just got back from Aldi, absolutely tons of bread/pasta/tp/kitchen rolls/milk/eggs. They were limiting everything to 4 items. Roads were quiet but store was normal levels of busy, only saw 1 person wearing a mask but it was a diy dust mask so don't think that was going to help him much.
I think it's going to be at least another day before we get reliable numbers again, if ever:

The police were on the radio this morning asking people to stop the 'stupid' reporting. Apparently they are getting reports of neighbours going out twice in a day!!
Why do they want to massage the numbers, won't that just lead to a false sense of security and hinder medical efforts to control it?
It won't be over in a month, or by Easter. The peak of this outbreak is still weeks ahead of us in the UK, which is why those emergency hospitals like NHS Nightingale are being fast-tracked and put together by military planners.This is probably a stupid question, but if anyone can humour me, we are being told that we are staying inside 3-4+ weeks to flatten the curve and save lives. However without a cure and an abundance of the cure, isn't the likelihood of a semi-normality a long way away? I see so many people thinking/hoping all will be well in a month. I even saw a story about how it could be over by Easter at this rate.
Vue are great round by me, cheap tickets and really nice modern screens!i might actually check out odeon/vue. they are so out of the way here but i have been thinking of it anyway for a while.
Oh boy, how lovely that we'll be able to wake up in the morning and see a freshly-updated death count.I think it's going to be at least another day before we get reliable numbers again, if ever:

Can't believe how much they're screwing up giving out numbers now. It's so inconsistent.
Royal Gwent most definitely not quiet.Pretty crazy that every hospital in the country outside of London is insanely quiet whilst London hospitals are overrun
I hadn't realised before that they hadn't been consistent in terms of the reporting period. I think some of this is BS, but there is no internally-consistent reason for the government to want to reduce the number of deaths reported.
And an increase of 175 confirmed cases. I wish they'd start telling us how many people have recovered from it to give us a bit of good newsThree more deaths from Coronavirus in Scotland, as per the Scottish Gov briefing.
good to wash down some lobster or beans.
the screens at my local cineworld have been annoying me because they look so dirty. there are black spots on the screen which i'd describe as dead pixels but i'm not sure how screens are constructed and if they even have pixels lol and the one i usually go to for the superscreen has a big horrible smear across it. it's been like that for at least 5 years. most people probably don't notice or care but i find it distracting.Vue are great round by me, cheap tickets and really nice modern screens!

To be fair though, I live out in the sticks and I have to drive to my nearest big supermarket. It's kinda hard for them to know who's for real.

As long as people maintain social distancing it should be fine.Still cant get over the amount of people I'm seeing on the high street and out and about in general on my way to work this morning. The nice weather ain't helping either
