COVID-19 — Coronavirus

I don’t like to see any harm from the Covid regardless of nationality but it was pretty low for the SNP to try and blame Scotland’s predicament on Blackpool. I wouldn’t be surprised it if it was the other way round.
Blackpool’s numbers at the time were very low. However they shot up mid October and are still high now.
I’m sure several hours travelling in close contact with little ventilation in a charabanc had absolutely zero impact on the spread of the virus, especially on the inebriated journey home.
 
I don't trust this latest convenient spike to pressure the lockdown vote. I don't trust this Government or the politicised hierarchy of the NHS and Dept of Health.
I don't understand, and never have done, why we have some ministers in charge of departments of which they have no knowledge. Hancock has absolutely no medical or scientific experience (possibly with the exception of lighting his farts with a bunsen burner). How can he possibly interpret all the the discrepant SAGE data?

Perennial problem this. I don't believe ministers should be experts, but as a bare minimum, they need to have enough of a relevant scientific grounding in order to at least be able to follow the arguments, and hold the experts to account; to ask the right probing questions of them and to make sure that the scientific advice actually passes the common sense test. Far too often IMO the minister in charge has no fucking clue and therefore is unable to do anything other than accept whatever he/she is told.

The Tory cabinet in particular is far too crammed with Eton and Oxbridge educated tossers with a degree in some arty bollocks. There is barely a Physics degree in the entire parliament.
