I was bemused by the reports that the doors of No. 10 had been barricaded. Why was this drastic step taken? Was it to stop Boris from going out or to stop others from going in?

It's a tactic used by media whores to attract attention. I do love the irony of choosing an attack on the media to do it.

Barney - according to the European Medicines Agency, Hydroxychloroquine (and Chloroquine) can have serious side effects. Although clinical trials for these drugs and the vaccine are currently underway it may take months until the results are known. China has already had notable success in treating coronavirus patients. Wuhan came out of lockdown today. I’ve seen a few odd articles but my overall impression is that Chinese treatments are being overlooked.
I agree with Havana about using the word trivial. It might well be (comparatively) trivial, and it might well all be terribly exaggerated or even underestimated, but why upset people if you don't have to?
