    No, but there is a ****ing conspiracy of silence to stop us knowing just what is going on at the battlefront. I'm reminded of that scene in Chernobyl where they run across the roof with radiated chunks of cobalt and try and toss them back into the furnace before they become lethally infected. Our NHS staff here have been criminally abused, and a large reason for that is Boris and Gollum Cummins set us off on a trail of herd immunity when they should have been desperately trying to acquire PPE and testing kits for a peak in May, not April, when we had more facilities. They wasted time on a wild goose chase and our NHS staff are paying for that, and now they're simply lying through their teeth to cover for it.

    But hey, ho ; let's have another clap for Boris next Tuesday night.

    I believe they have been arrested. Dickheads probably did it to film themselves and put it online.

    And now the nurses and doctors are silenced by threats, the leaders are free to blame them for "wasting" PPE rather than admit the government's criminal negligence

    Well one thing that'll happen when all this is over is the NHS/government will be getting sued for failing to provide the correct safety equipment.Hopefully the nurses and doctors will win the their cases.

    From a political standpoint this winds me up because Boris we deceive the masses now he's not well and people will pity him. They will completely forget his government and him have stripped the NHS. When austerity hits, watch what sector will get hit the most. They will win the next election then the slow erotion will take place.

    The sight of Boris clapping for the NHS, less than three years after he and the rest of his mob had cheered and applauded in the HOC when a pay rise for NHS staff had been blocked, was like watching an elderly, racist granddad trying to get down to Motown at a family wedding.

    Harsh on the grandad, unless he too had personally abused millions of people.

    About to pass 1000 hospital deaths per day and Hancock is praising himself over almost being ready to start delivering PPE to staff

    The UK is now firmly on track to be far worse than Italy and Spain despite having had more time to prepare, all thanks to the government's incompetent response and #herdimmunity experiment

    Yeah, but Sadiq Khan and the RMT deputy, eh? Oh, and do you want to see any pictures of half-naked celebrities sunbathing in their gardens during the lockdown?

    Predictions on how much more lockdown we're due then?

    I reckon they'll say it's for another three weeks or so again next week with a further reassessment

    It seemed like we weren't seeing, or going to see, the unequivocal constant upward trajectory of deaths like they had in Spain and Italy with a lot more variance day to day, some days a few less deaths, some days a few more, but it does seem like it's starting to go the same way as in those two now

    Who can trust those statistics, charts and graphs they're showing as slides during the daily briefings anyway, they could pretty much show whatever they wanted to really

    The figures are grossly under told. They've only recent starting testing up to 20,000 people a day and yet seem to pass it off as an entire country's figure? Even if you inflate the testing figures and say it's been 10k on average a day since day one, that's still only about 300,000 people tested out of 66million. They have zero clue about the infection statistics. The only figure that might be closer to the truth (but still not accurate) is the death statistic, but there's a lag (admitted already) in that as it takes time to determine a cause of death especially if not previously tested.

    Then you have conspiracists who might argue that the stats could well be under told deliberately to reduce panic or to make themselves look like they've handled it better (China's figures, for example)

    No one knows much about anything really. All I know is that we've handled it ineptly, arrogantly and slowly.
