More sun and plenty of bluebells. A number of conference calls today, two of them on Zoom, which I had never heard of before this lock-down! The first virtual meeting was with NFU President Minette Batters. Several of my colleagues joined to listen to the NFU's concerns for the ornamentals' sector. The view is that if this lock-down continues for much longer, many of these outlets will simply go bust. Away from the call, there is a growing feeling that these outlets should be re-opened, as social distancing could be observed. The next virtual meeting was one called by my colleague Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, myself and many other colleagues to impress on Defra Secretary George Eustice the dire situation of about 1,000 dairy farmers, some of whom are throwing their milk down the drain as demand tumbles. We are keen the Government looks at either direct payments to the worst affected, or to furlough cows along the same lines as humans. I think it fair to say we all left the meeting none the wiser really. Then, at 1645 I held another of my regular calls with DCH. CEO Nick Johnson and Chairman Mark Addison kindly took questions and updated me on how DCH was coping. A regular conference call with the police and PCC followed, where we heard that more motorists are speeding along empty roads. Resist the temptation, is my advice. The last call was with the CCG and parliamentary colleagues. Again, a very useful update from the county's health team. I do not want to raise too many hopes, but it does seem that the number of coronavirus cases are at least levelling off, even falling. Let's hope so. Meanwhile, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said that all essential workers in England - and members of their household - are now eligible for coronavirus tests. Around 10 million key workers who need to book a test to see whether they have the virus will be able to do so on the government's website from Friday. At the daily Downing Street briefing, Mr Hancock said the move was "part of getting Britain back on her feet". He added 18,000 people will be hired to trace contacts of those infected. In other news, we learnt that the first human trial in Europe of a coronavirus vaccine has begun in Oxford. Two volunteers were injected, the first of more than 800 people recruited for the study. Half will receive the Covid-19 vaccine, and half a control vaccine, which protects against meningitis but not coronavirus.
