COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[yeseye]

Possibly but it should have been done in late January to be effective but nobody knew then the extent of the virus

The Virus was causing mayhem in China and parts of Europe for weeks before it arrived here!
They had plenty of time to close the borders and ban flights but they missed a trick and obviously the $ is king!

But your having a bloody good moan about it.

Nothing changed today. Nothing has changed in the last few weeks.

They're amateur and embarrassing. They can't sort out their own shit. No strategy. No consistency. Shocking way to run a country and no wonder nobody is following the rules they're making up on the hoof.

does that mean the mortality rate is 0.4%

good to see so many people surviving this horrible disease

According to WHO, AT LEAST 10% of the worlds population has had this virus. If it’s 15%, the mortality rate would be about the same as flu.

Excess mortality graph at week 43 is interesting as well.

We may as well forget Xmas, don’t see the point to shut down for a month then open the floodgates for Xmas then be back where we started in January. Bit like eat out to help out and we can all see how well that exercise worked.

But he did want the job and he always wanted the job and he wasn’t exactly plucked off the fucking street kicking and screaming.

Brexit was a walk in the park compared to this situation... if he’d been able to see this coming he might not have been quite so eager to take the job... Who would?

But you are slagging him off without knowing the facts. Have you thought it might be a# simple as the media wouldn’t be ready by 4 or that the unions wanted urgent talks which delayed things. I doubt whether it was because Boris wanted to watch the rugby

You could well be right and like you've previously said hindsight is a wonderful thing but that doesn't stop me thinking this could have been handled a lot better than it has been.

I don't like him being reactive rather than proactive. Did he know we were eventually gonna have to go into a second lockdown? If so what was the point in putting it off for so long? I don't like how he's fucked over Manchester.

It's been like that here too, for a while now. Was fine until tier 3 kicked in.

We’ve been very lucky.. because SWMBO is on the vulnerable list we were given a weekly slot at Asda.. Tesco would have been our preferred choice from the local supermarkets but we are grateful for what we get..
