Off Topic Coronavirus

And right there Rangercol, Ellers and Mad Bad Turk, is your snapshot of why many, many on here without Eaton and Oxford bumming educations, could quite easily have made a better fist.
It’s about some half decent intelligence accompanied with a generous side order of values and integrity.

Give us our country back - bastard, useless foreigners.

 

You said last week 40K had died. That is wrong Watford. Anyway, I am not going to debate this because it gets nowhere.

 

And in all likelihood that was a conservative estimate if you aren’t burying your head in the sand and ignoring the limitations of the numbers they’re using. I wish it was 27000 or whatever it officially is now.

 

There are still many deaths unaccounted for, with post-mortem taking up to 2 weeks after death, I expect those figures to increase, either way at least we are top of Europe.......oops

 

I like Witty but his comment about we shouldn't be learning things half way through something like this pandemic was extremely strange.

 

Others will be learning from us is accurate albeit maybe not in the way intended.

 

Always learn after the event but never ever during!

 

Good to see Boris back but really this hasn't been a success, maybe you should stay off indefinitely

 

On the off chance anyone has Sky News on they just confirmed the stats include only those who were tested.

It’s fine though. No need for any apologies. We’re all friends.

 

I thought that was common knowledge anyway. I understand Belguim were using figures based on presumed covid19 deaths. Anyway, as Boris says, we shouldn't really compare to other countries, so much so they treat us to a lovely graph every day doing just that. The detective in me suspects it's due to us showing the slightly more corrected figures enabling us to fly high in the world.

 

I fear poor old Belgium are being included on a lot of charts for a small country. I’m surprised we don’t add San Marino too.

 

It's not football...

 

I couldn’t face the return of the king, did he really say that (of course he did, I don’t doubt you Bob). Of course he is right, we should compare ourselves to others only when we are certain of total and crushing victory. Perhaps girth rather than deaths would be a better measure for us.

The Belgium thing, with them recording suspected deaths as COVID19, makes sense their rate is so much higher than everyone else’s. Condemned to be included in every chart to make the rest look less bad.

 

what was he saying about getting his facts and figures from those in charge?

 

3 PINTS SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT IF A LIMIT IS GOING TO BE IMPOSED














































PER HOUR

 

I'm so glad to hear "we have done the right things at the right time". Boris.
Our chief scientific officer live on radio stating herd immunity was the way to go, to a lockdown a few weeks later!
Still we have no screening whatsoever at airports? Why does our science and our experts seem to differ so much from other countries? We are nearly a quarter of a year on from our first case and we still let people who could be carrying a deadly disease into our country! C'mon all you brexiteers, get on board, you didnt even want a foreigner to enter for work this time last year!!! But someone potentially infected with a deadly disease is perfectly acceptable??

 

Good patriots wouldn’t leave Blighty either what’s wrong with a holiday in Grimsby
