I don’t even know where to begin with this.

Maybe actually look at all the info available before waxing lyrical about the government.

Where indeed.
All I'm saying is the doubling of new cases each day has stopped.
And yes new cases only probably represents 8% of the total but hey, whatever, it's good news!
Unless of course you want to be able to slag the government simply for it being Tory of course.

It's not been much better during the days, tbh.

There's no real emergency going forward. The shops will stay open, and we have months upon months of supplies in the country. Being patient is the best idea.

I am trying but when you have done a hard days manual work it's nice to have a decent meal followed by loo roll for the morning lol
 
Why did he not close all none essential shops as well. Walked thru Gatley this morning with dogs. All shops are still open, hairdressers, barbers, hardware store, beauty shops, estate agents. Who in their right minds would use these places and put themselves at risk?? I feel sorry for the workers. Given the choice I would not go to work, unfortunately I have no choice working in primary care.

They being who? Boris? The Cabinet?
Wrong it's SAGE the government scientific support in emergencies network that expands to include universities and other scientific institutions.
Oh and the input data didnt relect the current situation data from Italy. So it was changed.
Nice try not no cigar.

They being ICL, as implied in the sentence..

They were using incorrect data and advised on an incorrect strategy initially, which Boris implemented.

Saying otherwise is just party-political nonsense or dribblingly excessive Boris-love.

Johnson’s had incredible luck in the last few years, and fair play to him (****).

Let’s hope it continues as I get the feeling this is a fucking lottery, in terms of timing it right.

Following scientific and medical advice is the key here. So long as he does it will mearly be awful.

Wow.

he’s using the crisis to elevate his fame. He posted a video the other day about how he’s still shaking hands and hugging people. He needs to F off and carry on about his business and be quiet

Here is some evidence to back up the above claims. There is plenty of it.
1. Hypokalemia (potassium deficiency).
https://www.thailandmedical.news/ne...lemia-present-in-almost-all-covid-19-patients
Clearly, having naturally high levels of Potassium can only help.
WARNINGS:
- DO NOT INCREASE THE LEVEL OF POTASSiUM IN YOUR BODY UNNATURALLY! IT CAN BE FATAL
- Some people with Kidney disease need to have a low potassium diet.
- Some asthma medication lowers potassium levels but the medicine literature will tell you to have a high potassium diet to counter this.
https://www.msdmanuals.com/en-gb/ho...pokalemia-low-level-of-potassium-in-the-blood
If in doubt talk to a doctor.

2. Vitamin D.
WHO: https://www.who.int/elena/titles/commentary/vitamind_pneumonia_children/en/
Vitamin D and Coronavirus (take some of this evidence with a pinch of salt but the volume of evidence is overwhelming): https://vitamindwiki.com/COVID-19+Coronavirus+can+most+likely+be+fought+by+Vitamin+D
Taking too much Vitamin D can be bad for you, but with the UK climate, and it's lack of sunlight, most people are naturally slightly deficient.

3. Boosting the immune system
3.1.1 Vitamin C:
Is isn't a wonder drug or silver bullet, but it does help in the fight against lung infections.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2099400/
Having a balanced diet is key to fighting any infection and taking a multivitamin is sufficient to boost your system, but when you get ill, every little boost helps.

3.1.2 Zinc:
Zinc is a well known aid to help against cold and flu. The reason is it interferes with RNA virus replication.
Is isn't a wonder drug or a silver bullet, but it does help when you get ill.
https://www.researchgate.net/public..._Replication_of_These_Viruses_in_Cell_Culture

3.2 Echinacea:
There is plenty of evidence out there that indicates that this extract is a natural anti-viral medicine.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4058675/

4. Gargling with very warm salt water
Plenty of rebuttal evidence out there for this. Especially if you have high blood pressue (so don't if you have)
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/gargling-eliminate-coronavirus/
But... Gargling with salt water does ease a sore throat. Warm water is better still. You only need a little salt though 1/3 of a teaspoon for a small beaker. Also any delay in virus build up gives your body more time to fight it. So it ain't a cure but unless you've got high blood pressure it's worthwhile.

I should also have mentioned that if you have Asthma you need to make sure you are managing your illness to the best if your ability. The higher your peak flow level if you get Coronavirus, the more likely you are to NOT need medical intervention.

Shit
You could have warned about the potassium earlier.
Went to my old chemistry set, popped a lump of potassium in, fizzed around like a bastard with a purple flame coming out of my nostrils.

Yeah right.
SAGE gave their advice. Boris followed it with a strategy.
SAGE changed their advice so Boris changed the strategy.
Boris is being driven by SAGE.
Good news surely?
Probably not for you.

Drag him outside and forcibly kick him in the bollocks until his mouth bleeds. I'm as fit and healthy as it goes (within reason) and I've only been able to leave bed for short spells for the last 3 days, I'm in fucking bits. anyone that catches it and doesn't isolate runs the risk of passing it on to the vulnerable.

He did what he should have done. Follow the advice of our experts. It's no really up to him to dictate strategy but to implement it. If their advice changes, then he should implement those changes, which he did.

Party political nonsense shouldn't really come into it (though I'm sure you'll still try). Hopefully Corbyn would have done the same.
 
Didn’t realise till this morning that the annual death toll in just England & Wales is approx 500,000 in a ‘normal’ year. I suppose with some of the CV deaths it will be difficult to disentangle/distinguish the causes from other reasons.

No. I want to slag off the government because their lax attitude to self isolation and mixed messages will cause deaths. Last nights ‘you’ve won the lottery’ now go enjoy your last night of freedom debacle will cost lives.

The cases and deaths now are irrelevant. Let’s see 3/4 weeks from now.

And the country still isn’t in lockdown. Just closing things isn’t nearly enough.
 
John Campbell now believes that nearly 4 billion will contact covid-19. If that’s true we are looking at complete and utter devastation worldwide.
