You shouldn't be. It was fully expected. We are only into week 3.bit concerned the death toll is like this after how many weeks of lock down they’ve had

Only British ones.But George says all experts are correct and we should shut up and listen.

Agreed. People defend them because they are experts in the field so must be right and Peston must be wrong because he’s Peston.There were a few things deeply worrying about that interview.
1. The guy - our deputy chief medical officer - was a grade 1 pompous and patronising twat.
2. His comments saying we should only consider to what to do after the lock down has been successful at some time in the future, was the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. What a total moron. We should be preparing NOW for what we do after the lockdown. What if in 3 months time we decide we need capacity to do 50,000 test per day? We could have lost 3 months or perparations to get to that level if we only start considering it in 3 months. Fucking bellend. It's wankers like him who lost us precious weeks with their "herd immunity" shite. Which, because numbers muliiply by 10 every 2 weeks, probably means 10x more people will have died as could have done, were it not for that fuck up.
3. Seems he's not even right about the basics, and got it wrong about the test.
Dear God, with people like that in charge no wonder we're in the shit.
ok good news. Thought was longer. Was hoping the curve downwards would start on 3 weeks. Seems it must be longer.
If it is as you say then it sums up our whole approach. Delay after delay presumably to get it right then choices that have at the best been incorrect or too late. At the worst would bring on conspiracy theories, thanks CB for this post.There were a few things deeply worrying about that interview.

Please don't.Hart Breaking.
Think there's a potential thread in itself here.
Very sad.
This is with the lockdown too: I can only imagine how bad it would be had they decided to take it on the chin.
Never started a thread in 10 years of being on here so think you're safe.Please don't.
