I feel this might be THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I EVER POSTED. There is so much false information out there \u2013 people saying the CoronaVirus is not a threat \u2013 even that it doesn\u2019t exist. And our own Government has failed to act promptly, acting on catastrophically bad advice, which will eventually be the cause of thousands of deaths. It\u2019s too late to contain the CoronaVirus in Britain \u2013 but we CAN still save some of the lives of our dear ones by doing NOW what we should have done 3 weeks ago. ISOLATE \u2013 minimise our social contacts. Minimise them, if possible, to almost zero. The more interactions you have, the more chance you have of bringing the virus in to threaten your family. The less people you meet up with, the better the chance of saving yourself and your family, and the greater chance we will have to limit the damage this awful plague will do. PLEASE READ the article these screen shots come from. It will take you 30 minutes or so to absorb it \u2013 but at the end you will truly understand why we must take extreme measures NOW. Do not confuse this with panicking. It is simply taking the measures we need to adopt to protect ourselves from a Hellish future. THE LINK IS IN MY BIO. Do it, please \u2013 and forward it to all your friends and family. This could save countless lives. My God \u2013 I am praying that Boris will read it \u2013 and throw his advisors out the door. Extreme Action is needed \u2013 delaying is shite. And please, politicians, stop talking about the economy, just for a moment. A million lives are at stake. Bri<\/a><\/p>\n

May also shared screenshots from a Medium article by Tomas Pueyo, titled \u201cCoronavirus: Why You Must Act Now,\u201d<\/a> which outlines how social distancing can prevent the spread of COVID-19<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lastly, May noted that he was \u201cpraying\u201d that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson would read the article \u201cand throw his advisors out the door.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cExtreme Action is needed \u2014 delaying is shite,\u201d he wrote. \u201cAnd please, politicians, stop talking about the economy, just for a moment. A million lives are at stake.\u201d<\/p>\n
