All councils can only do what they is being told is the correct advice.


It would be nice if some including Sir dickie here and Burnham saying balls to government advice we are enacting more stricter controls for the region.

However they wouldn't be able to.

Deleted the post as just seems a bit weird posting about death. Suppose people will find out soon enough.

It’s just been announced on ITV evening news it’s 8 now mate, that’s what you’ve heard, 2 more just confirmed.

1 in a care home which is fucking shit considering the chances of other elderly people there getting it.
 
Thousands of Spanish football fans currently in Liverpool. Why on earth have they been allowed here???

UK testing regime criticised
A retired intensive care doctor claims the government plans to increase coronavirus testing are “way too late” after he and his friends were repeatedly refused tests despite falling ill following an Austrian skiing trip.

Six of the group, from Chichester, suffered severe flu-like symptoms after a trip to Ischgl in Austria, earlier this month, he said. The resort is classed as a virus risk area by some countries, including Iceland and Norway, but not the UK. As a result all of the group have been denied tests by the NHS 111 service. It has also closed bars as a precaution.

The 55 year-year-old former doctor, who gave his name only as Andrew, said he had also fallen ill at an earlier trip to the same resort in January:

I’ve never been so ill. I was hoping they would just test me anyway and to prove I’ve had it. My friends have all phoned NHS 111 and they’ve all been told several times that as they haven’t been to an at risk area they can’t be tested and they should even self isolate.

These people are saying they are as ill as they’ve ever been, and they still can’t do a test.

The reason we’ve got relatively low numbers in this country at the moment is because they’re only been testing about 1,500 a day. I think the infection has been widespread for a month now.

They may be upping the testing but they haven’t put Ischgl on a high risk list, despite knowing about this for days. It is a massive cluster. Six of us have been back in Chichester going about their daily life. I suspect we’ll find a big cluster in Chichester two weeks.

The increase in testing is way too late. I think it was obvious six weeks ago that we should have been doing surveillance screening. Lives are at risk here

He's a long standing American radio talk show host with a very right wing agenda.

Basically America's Katie Hopkins, but worse. I remember him being quite high profile in the early to mid-2000s.

A racist, misogynist, xenophobic, conspiracy theorist, fraud, nutter radio host with a large following in the US.

I am only providing this background to answer this question as others have asked it previously — I don’t want to start any political debates (which will then need to be removed).
