Interesting take on things.

Looks like we are going to pass his 50k death toll marker tomorrow. Silly old man trying to scaremonger us into thinking it's a global government conspiracy.

 

Pity he was wrong about the death toll though.

Nick Ferrari just nailed it, "prime minister, what you are doing isn't good enough"

But what would be good enough, methinks it would require a fairy wi a magic wand.

BUT

Testing is the one factor we, the UK, led by our Government, appear to have failed on.

You've nailed it also, Marcus, if 'we' aren't testing people we don't know what's going on, exactly Nick Farriari's point.

Test is only a small part of it, ppe for NHS is at the top of list if you  test NHS worker at home thinking they have it when they haven't with out ppe you are just chucking them back into  the fire.

However, how often are we, or "they" going to test HNS nd other staff directly involved, every day, before they start their work, since, unless they, the staff, are going to be kept in sterile accomodation, they stand a chance of catching it between shifts.

Imho, the whole lockdown thing is unworkable, and we may have to/might have been better to have accepted that the virus will run its course.

And less hysteria about deaths, shit happens.

With revised protocols for NHS staff and how often they change masks/protective clothing.

From someone with a daughter working directly with Covid paitents, an 87 year old mother, and a 55 year old wife who has quietly assessed that she would not qualify to be put on a ventilitor, due to her underlying health issues.

Which is to say I got skin in the game.

Me too plus I'm not so sanguine about the BBC chart showing my personal chances of dying this year have increased from 1% to 10%

No magic wand needed. .Gov and managers to get out n do their jobs. Bit different from sitting on the Benches hurling shite at each other. In these days of computers it's saddening. Much manufacturing is robotic. Obvs got the wrong people.   K
