4) More transparent daily updates at a set time with press conference - stop the actual 24hrs delay

More details

The UK Governement is wasting precious time to contain the COVID-19 outbreak.
Data clearly show that the only way to stop the chain of infection is encouraging the population to self-isolate as much as possible.
The NHS has about half the number of doctors per population and much less ITU beds than Italy - do we really want to wait and see?
We need urgent measures now - the solution is in our hand if we want to grasp it.
