COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[blueparrot]

Why, just before the press conference, do the BBC quote a figure for the daily deaths (today they said 321?), then Boris comes on and it is different (674 today).

Hospital figures earlier, but now we are adding outside ones in as well.

Made me laugh anyway

I am here to serve.

Great speech from Boris as expected. No one has his charisma nor presence. We are starting to beat this.

I am called a wum because I am one of the few on here who respects our government who were elected by the majority and are doing a good job. See the polls - vast majority agree with me.

I will continue to represent the majority of the country on here against the left wing masses no matter how many times I am called a wum. My skin has grown another layer in my weeks absence.

It is a meaningless and pathetic jibe.

I am convinced Boris has been cutting his own hair, as if it wasn't bad enough before.

So next week he will map out how we look to restart the economy and get people back to work.

Worth noting there was no mention of leisure, social interaction or recreation, pretty obvious the restrictions are going to be in place for a long, long time.

The minute most people go back to work then all social distancing will be a thing of the past.
People will think, what's the point in social distancing as when i'm in work no one cares, so why should i stop having my mates around for a party etc

If chutzpah and rodomontade could defeat a virus we'd be laughing. Sadly, they can't and we're not.

I don’t know who or what they are.

A man of the people - has shit hair at the moment just like the rest of us.

Are you on the wrong thread mate. This isn’t a WUM!

I haven't made my mind up if they have done a good job or not yet, what i will say is that they have reacted well to the situation with regard to the Furlough scheme, support for business and the Nightingale hospitals. But given how far ahead of the curve we were with regard to being 3 weeks behind Italy and 2 weeks behind Spain I am not sure they have done such a good job overall.

I suppose the only real measure will be in 12 months when we get a clearer picture of the overall death toll and impact on the economy.

I agree he was fucked at the start , better now.

Laura Doomsberg getting the red lippy on for Boris The little strumpet!!

 

[Rammy Blue]

Personally, I can’t help but like the guy.

Never been interested in politics, and consequently I’ve always judged our PM’s on personality and likeability - hence for me never had a problem with Blair, Cameron or Boris, but never liked May or Brown and wouldn’t have liked Corbyn.

He's a master at both.

I keep looking at it and can't work out what he has done to it, he's gone bald at the front and busy at the top.

He should have just bought some clippers and whacked it all off :)
