Like they were stupid no to previously. I was directly involved in pandemic planning way back in 2010. None of it was updated and much of it shelved/cut in 2016. Even the basics were ignored in January 2020.No they are using current awareness to pressure the government into maintaining spending in research to try and prevent future didsaters. They would be stupid not to.
Haha what are you on about ? I think its sending you slightly bonkers all this mate. The waffle you spout isnt rational.Awful, isn't it.
Uppity female world experts in their fields trying to make sure the lessons of a global catastrophe are learned.
A few more bullshitting public schoolboys in the headlines is what the country really needs.

Have a break!
And im as guilty as anyone. I just seek good news where as some seek the doom n gloomIt goes from one extreme to another for some as they twist an opinion into something they feel they can attack.
It's a direct quote without editorial/spin from the BBC...of course I have. The commentary is on the headline About how the media spin things.
Which is a sensationalist headline from the bbc .
next pandemic could be more lethal than covid
be afraid.
The posters who are trying to give the impression that most of the population are living in fear are deluded.
I went out to a couple of Pubs on Saturday to watch our game against Watford and the boozers were rammed. I was given a free ticket to watch Leeds vs Brentford (yesterday) and the stands were packed. The only difference was that the buses were running at slightly under capacity.
We’ve been asked to take a few precautions like wearing masks on public transport and in supermarkets and getting vaccinated inc. booster jabs. In return, we are promised that the NHS will be there for us if we need it and the Government had invested to support areas of the economy that were struggling.
Nobody likes paying for Covid tests but that’s the environment we are living in (for overseas travel etc).
Here we go again. Fuckwits don't want to hear something so they attack the press. Always the same posters too.
Just keep bashing the press when you don't want to hear something Trumpboy.Here we go again, a debating champion shows us his/her skills.

I can stay online for a little longer if you want to come up with a better comeback than that, 10 mins do it?I’ve not bashed any press article.
Trumpboy?
Fucking hell, go for a lie down or something you silly kipper.

I will, thank you.Says the poster who called people fuckwits and trumpboy.
Enjoy your day ;-)
Of that there is no doubt.The whole thing is sending people mad a tell thee.
I agree they the prices of the tests are excessive. If you have to isolate because of the domestic Covid rules then compensate peole for loss of earnings. If the isolation is due to luxuries like international flights then I’m not so sure.Fair comment but masks in a shop but not getting pissed in a pub?
Im afraid nothing is making much sense anymore. As for day 2/8 tests etc and quarantine hotels then price is very much in focus and rightly so because we are being fleeced. You want people on board so you fleece them? Not the way to go imo.
Isolate while you await your result? No problem, pay me for the time off I’m being asked to take because right now, millions are probably ignoring that request because they simply can’t afford to take time off.
That headline is fuckin terrible. But i have a feeling people like the woman concerned need to come up with a headline shocker every now and then as otherwise she’ll slip back into obscurity whence she came.
I think its the headline the bbc chose that is the problem. Which is attention grabbing and a deliberately scary. Rather than objective.This is bollocks.
The message isn't "be afraid", it's "be prepared". Learn the lessons from COVID so we don't make such a fuckup next time around.
For instance:
- PPE availability
- vaccine manufacturing capability
- clinical trials organisation
- Cooperation on systems for border controls
- testing capacity
- healthcare capacity and resilience
How is this a problem? Seems very sensible to me. IMO the people in fear are those burying their heads in the sand, not those openloy addressing the issues.
