    I heard a few fireworks tonight, but virtually no pan banging or
    clapping. Think it's pretty much done with now.

    Had to stay quiet earlier when on the family WhatsApp group my dad said he's got a new app that plays sirens and flashes emergency vehicle colours ready for the clapathon. Cringey as ****.

    If I was one of those asking the questions in that briefing, it would be to ask what exactly has changed from the day before we went into lockdown to today, so much so that the same risk of it spreading again isn't there? I'm sure the answer will be something around the R number being 0.7-0.9. The flaw in that argument is that we were at 0.7-0.9 at some point when there was no lockdown which provided the circumstances for it to grow to 4.6 at its height.

    How did we all imagine or expect the stages of lockdown to be eased? How did any of the experts? Was anyone saying 2 months ago if we get it down to 350 deaths a day, 2000 infections, we can end the lockdown? One thing that I've always wondered about was how the government would deal with the lockdown by the time we got to June and financial hardship started affecting people in a big way. Would they remain resolute? In the end I think this is what the end of lockdown is all about. Maybe it's a good enough reason, I don't know anymore. But it begs the question, if the economy was always going to take a priority, why the fck did we screw ppl over the last 10 weeks in the first place? Especially if this decision comes back to bite everyone in the arse a month from now.

    If you make a similar one but for 'boo for Boris' you might make a bit of money.
    I wore a kit like that for my middle-school football team. we did, of course, call ourselves the Pacers.

    Boris looked at odds with the medical experts. First off he just threw a wet blanket on any hint of them having a say about Cummings, presumably because he feared they’d speak openly and honestly about it. Instead he patronised them and they politely declined to embarrass him.

    Then after he’d said 6 different households can meet up for a piss up and a BBQ (as long as they only go Indoors for a slash) the medical experts laid down the reality of the situation which is that infection rates are still really high.

    Boris is just going through the motions, dishing out the nuggets of easing lockdown to keep ‘on message‘ and make it look like it’s all nice and tidy and on track.

    looks like we might be on for a second wave.

    I don't think he was at odds with the medical experts at all, they just didn't want to get involved in the political point scoring, which seems fair enough to me. They may well have had a view about Cummings, much as I've had a view about Cummings, much like the whole fooking media have had a view about Cummings. Any suggestion to say people now won't follow the guidelines is up to them, I certainly have no intentions of spreading the virus to myself or family. What other people do is down to them, their the ones that will have to carry any reckless actions on their shoulders.

    They’re not being guided by the science at the minute, they’re currently engaged in PR lead decisions.

    I fully expect him to lob out a date for pubs reopening in the next day or so.

    60000 excess deaths is fairly compelling evidence for the defence.
