Time for the BBC to stop this afternoon virus briefing

Start at 4.45, set the scene, broadcast the number ten briefing. Analyse for 20 mins, end programme

It’s not as if we are short of places to look for the latest information

Far more positive and productive to watch ‘Money for nothing’ in my view

the news programs are reveling in this tragedy and in their own self importance. Seems the BBC realised today they didn't need to tell us in 2 hours what they could easily do in 15 minutes.

The 24/7 coverage is just a bit OTT

I think it is very important that we hear the news first hand and it will reassure people rather than hearing it second hand with possible spin.

I wouldn't say they are that bad but come on now, has everyone already forgotten their election coverage?! Remember literally just before this crisis how no one wanted to pay the license fee anymore?

Was the election coverage bias towards the Tories or labour.

Yes, my point was you hear it first hand by watching the live press briefing from number 10, no need for tedious hours of it.

we all need a break from gloomy news for a while

Unfortunately that's all there is. And we haven't got round to Brexit yet.
