COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[BlueAnorak]

they are just trying to control the agenda constantly

a few weeks ago it was why are we not locking down, LOCK DOWN NOW . Why aren’t we locking down.

govt lock down

now it’s why aren’t we releasing the lock down other countries are releasing the lockdown. Why aren’t we releasing the lockdown NOW.

they have lost the plot . they are absolutely useless polling and confidence from the public suggests it.

It really is pathetic.
We need a journalistic press corps that deploys intellectual rigour and scrutiny without shouting in an echo chamber. They need to identify the:
1. Current situation.
2. Problem.
3. Resolution Action.
4. Probable effect of action.
5. Alternatives for 3 and 4.
6. Comment on the above without resorting to abuse.
Only then can we have a grown up conversation.
Peston, Kuenssberg etc. do none of these things.

I guess their conclusion will be that the match needs to be replayed.

Genetics will identify the spread pattern. The main strains infecting Spain and the UK are different.

No forfeited by the infected Ities.

The media/ various newspapers seem to be obsessed with getting everybody back to work right now. If that happens soon my fear is there will be a second wave and many more people will die. But seems like with football money talks

For work I would have to get on probably a packed train, which I would be incredibly uncomfortable doing

The message or slogan has been ‘Save the NHS.’ Why, because we do not have enough critcal care beds. So the govn’t create Nightingale Hospitals.

However the Nightingale hospitals are under utilised and modelling should have shown that would happen. But what if the modelling was based on Herd Immunity. If so then sending people back to work now to save the economy would mean as a country we are now covered. Extra NHS staff, extra care beds all now in place. Now the government can get us out of this recession, but at a cost of lives.

Makes sense.

Question the government, get your grant withdrawn.

Lidl in Spain have stopped people using baskets and insist trolley or nothing. Since less people in shop it helps them I suppose, trolleys now free so at waiting to enter stage an assistant shows gel, paper to clean trolley handle and plastic gloves (can use your own gloves but must clean them with gel). Then allowed in store when someone comes out.

It's not hard is it? Really? Yet we can't do it here.

Businesses are forcing staff back, otherwise I think we would stay home.

I dare say she’s done more than a pleb like you:


The Queen has done more for charity than any other monarch in history
Elizabeth II has supported hundreds of British charities to raise £1.4bn, says chief executive of Charities Aid Foundation

https://www.theguardian.com/volunta...een-charitable-support?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

(nor is she even remotely the richest person in the world and 99% of her wealth is in properties that she doesn’t own - in the sense that she can’t sell them off). In fact, she’s not even in the top 300 richest people in the U.K., let alone the world:

Shut the door on your way out.

Pleb, not heard that for ages, lol.

I was thinking more about those who have a choice but are going out because it is nice weather,we will have another summer,it is not just protecting yourself

Those having to go to work,stay safe
