Went to Go Ape with the little one today, absolutely zero chance of social distancing properly, at least we are outside, but it is what it is now, Im afraid life has to carry on as normal otherwise we will end up in a depression unseen in our times, yes worse than the 1930s, at least back then people were still fairly civilised, not now.
 

Nearly 300 cases in 1 factrory in Northampton.

that’s awful. But hey lets do an experiment

of that 300 who have got it wouldn’t it be good to get some data , how many

had no symptoms

had a cold flu like symptoms and a week off work

were so ill they had to go to hospital for treatment

intensive care

death

Be good to know
 
At least the NHS weren't overwhelmed in April ;-)

Though the reality is they were, and couldn't deal with it all, so many of the NHS staff were also overwhelmed, and a good many died as a result.

The reality is that we (as a country) had no idea what we were really dealing with, and we had no idea how to treat it.

We were then hit by the worst scenario of people travelling to the worst areas in our own half term holidays, just as other countries were getting to their peak of local transmission.

So you can blame government all you like, but at the end of the day we were in a very shit position, sure there were things we could have done better (mainly in hindsight - and there still are even today), but we were pretty much fucked by the fact that many people in the southeast/london area had half term skiing breaks or holidays to spain, just as it was running amok, they all came home and went about their normal lives packing trains and tubes not knowing they were transmitting the virus, a lot of those travel for work, so took it to all corners of the country, and there it spread further.
So many things were wrong from the off.
Crap pandemic plan, arrogance as to far eastern measures (especially face masks), a deporable response from PHE - especially on testing and a reluctance of the government to change the process or go against advice from SAGE (aka the comedy club).

You mean like the stats that have been collected for the last 8 months around the globe?
 
You can imagine the reaction to this latest farce on social media. Utter contempt and belief the country is being taken as mugs.

How on Earth are they going to persuade the public to act sensibly if half of them think you are incapable of totting up numbers that are needed to track outbreaks? And the other half that you can but don't want you to know.
I suspect it is like the reaction on here when we aren't beating Lyon by five goals after half an hour. One reason to avoid social media...

It would be good, in fact this is the sort of data you'd hope someone is collating somewhere.
 
we had time advantage to see and prepare for what was coming,we went our own way ,i was screaming about both and for the stopping of mass gatherings,no hindsight required,we literally had the WHO and Ita!y screaming at us to change course,we didnt
We had a Pandemic plan. It turned out to be shit.

well I am not sure they have been great. These are working age people a defined number in the uk , it would be a perfect experiment to monitor how the virus behaves in this group, now that our treatments have improved..
I think it would be a good experiment to see and so people can understand just how serious this disease still is or....
 
We didn't have a pandemic when that rugby match took place (Mar 7th), so if you put aside your political agenda for a minute, and look at the actual facts, there was no reason for him to avoid going to the rugby, just like the other 79,999 rugby fans, or us visiting wembley the week before.

Boris has been useless but SAGE advised COBRA that there was very little additional risk to people catching the virus from attending major sporting events. Some of the scientists haven’t distinguished themselves either.

I do, but its where the government choose to reveal these things sadly. Otherwise you just wait all night until they bother to tell you on their dashboard what is/or rather isn't happening.
