Anyway I’m going golfing because Boris and Dominic said I could, I know some won’t agree but hey let’s not let the facts get in the way of what’s right or wrong.
Ok but didn’t say wether or not his advice included lockdown guidelines, not being pedantic, just asking an honest question,as the press seem to think he wrote the entire lockdown strategy.
I was being sarcastic Beth, Cummings couldn’t get a test, allegedly, but Gove’s daughter could. Anyway, it’s not really about the rules or how they are interpreted. It’s about privilege and entitlement.
Well the good news from here is that yesterday we had Zero reported deaths from COVID the first time since late March, things seem to be going in the right direction but next Monday is a Bank Holiday and the weather is set fair so hopefully we don't have the ridiculous scenes that the UK had yesterday on the beaches etc...…. The bad news is that Leo took his shirt off on Sunday whilst in the Phoenix Park with his partner and a couple of friends and the twitter trolls are having a field day..... Regarding Cummings if he'd shown a tad of humility it may not have turned out this bad for him and would have given the idiotic minority the excuse to go to the beach, especially those who travelled from Liverpool to Bournemouth...…...seriously what is wrong with these people? As someone said last week of Breakfast TV the one thing that this pandemic has done is to do away with the notion that the British have Common Sense...…..
42,173 deaths registered in this country to 15 May had COVID19 on the certificate. To the same date there were over 60,000 deaths in excess of the five year rolling average for the year. Of course both figures are higher, ten days later. The daily update deaths figure (36,914) is now an outright lie, as they make no attempt to reflect the ONS figures. Regardless of the lying, cheating and elitist arrogance, shouldn’t many, many people in and advising the government be resigning in shame at this totally abject failure? Even taking the lower, fake deaths number the UK provides around 10% of the global coronavirus deaths total to date. We have 0.8%. of the worlds population.
Labour MP Tony Lloyd travelled from London to Manchester whilst suffering from COVID19 symptoms, yet the mainstream media ignore it totally, proving they have an agenda to attack Cummings simply because of who he is and not what he did. And some people still don’t get it.
Where are you getting that information from? Sweden has approx. 10m people and 34,440 infections. The infection rate per 1m inhabitants is 3,412. Examples of other European countries with higher infection rates per 1m people - Spain 6.042, UK 3,849, Italy 3,806, Belgium 4,960, Ireland 5.007, Luxembourg 6,390, Iceland 5,290. In terms of deaths rates, Sweden has 409 deaths per 1m inhabitants. Examples of other European countries with higher death rates - Spain 574, UK 544, Italy 544, France 436, Belgium 806,
During this extraordinary and unique pandemic I don’t imagine his wife needed a trip out for her birthday; but those who have lost loved ones and not been able to travel to their funeral would consider that a ‘mountain’ in their life while following the governments dictate. The guy held a highly responsible position in the government and should have fallen on his sword. He has made everything worse for everyone now and caused a distraction from the need to keep fighting this virus and not talking about whether I should/could go out because Cummings did it.
