COVID-19 — Coronavirus

It's fair enough, what I posted sounded different in my head than how it looked in text form.
It wasn't meant how it looked, but I don't mind a little abuse now and again.

Fair play to you bud taking it on the chin.

The footage of Dominic Cummings running out of Downing Street is rather hilarious.

He has been chairing lots of meetings? Just how much power does an unelected advisor have?

Alternative view of the mode of transmission using mobile phone data from Spring Break last week in Florida which was packed - be good if they could do one for Cheltnham as well.

No idea, but sounds like his herd immunity horse shit has gone out the window.

We don't have a constitution but Laws set out by parliaments consent and our constitutional lawmaking and govrnance do not involve the monarchy except as a ceremonial thing.

The hier to the throne has no more right to imediate testing as any commoner under the UK bill of rights


As for the PM, as head of the country he needed to be tested, as does any minister.

Charlie got tested as he could have killed the queen and philip with it,i have no problem with him getting tested

15 flights per day from Spain to UK still. If that’s the case from another 20/30 countries that’s still a lot of people going into the UK.

As for Boris I sincerely hope he’s ok because at his age and size he’ll be a big risk!

Is that Spain figure commercial flights or repatriation of UK citizens? If the former, I cannot get my head around that as surely it would simply increase the chances of contamination?

Apologies. I meant travel season tickets

Yeah - sorry - that was me hoping to get some money back;-)

The horse has kicked them up the arse !

Hancock was being tripped as a possible successor to BoJo if Raab succumbed - such a wealth of talent - but he probably feels a bit relieved to be out of the running tbh, I know many others are. Pritti will be straightening her shoulders awaiting for a possible call to power now, brace yourselves.

JRM is working on a plan; 50,000 leeches to be delivered to every hospital by the end of the week. Self-isolation advice to be replaced by a regime of early morning cold showers and vigourous exercise to sweat out the bugs. Supermarket access to be restricted to nannies only.

As long as the map covered the RoI!

Everyone should be tested like Korea, starting with those in contact with the infected first at the top of the list.

The man wh would be king should be way down the list around.

herd immunity is a scientific term for a natural process - it's going nowhere like your argument

What time is wank-o-clock over there?

Like anywhere else I'd imagine..24/7..

Jay, to clarify, some of these are available for all and anyone, not just Brits scrambling to get back; any Spaniard could fly on these (or any nationality for that matter)? That would be utter lunacy, or am I missing something here?

Herd immunity usually requires the use of a man made vaccine

Herd Immunity requires a man made vaccine, so no it's going nowhere - until that time.

I don't know for sure to be honest. At a guess I think they are initially for emergency purposes to get citizens back to the UK but if you look at the paragraph under the EasyJet photo it says that their flights have now been put on general sale. Whether that includes foreigners I don't know.

Edit: Also the point still stands. It's still gonna be hundreds if not thousands of people flying into the UK every day. Their nationality is pretty irrelevant.

Unfortunately on here political allegiances count for more than humanity.

That has become ever more evident - and one of the most significant disappointments IMO. You really would have expected people to be able to set such narrow thinking aside during this time - anyway - best not stray off-topic

Met Police chief asking recently retired officers to re-join

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick is writing to former officers who retired within the last five years to ask them to re-join the force either in a paid or voluntary capacity.

To be fair he was 3 meters away from the Chancellor, not 2
