Honestly some people just cant see the woods for the trees!! Boris didnt even attend the first 5 cobra meetings. That's how seriously he took this pandemic. He's proving to be the worlds worst leader regarding this pandemic.

You’ll be made to look a fool tonight, Bob, when he saves the day. A FOOL.

How do you know he has acted at all times upon advice? If he has as you say then do you think he should be questioning that advice considering we have the worlds worst death per million ratio. Followed by Sweden who similar to us didnt really have a lockdown either.

The flip side of this though is that we will fare far better in the "second wave". No vulnerable left!

What do you call someone who receives and acts on poor advice?
 
Just seen on the news that we've failed to carry out 100,000 tests for 7 days in a row.

We've also had to send 50,000 tests to the US for processing due to "operational issues"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52603566

I am afraid, this is true as for various reasons the tests are not working as well as they could.

I think this is a verification issue, which is a dreadful state to be in, when we are at least 4.5 months into the pandemic and South Korea had a virus test kit working and effective in January. It is unclear if this is an issue with the kit itself or with the people who are doing the tests; centralised laboratories and not the in-hospital virology labs that normally do hospital viral tests. So I believe the results of tests are being verified in USA, as Boris has said we have a capacity to more tests than we are doing

In other news, the Sunday Times has run a feature on the CoVid19 app that is being run by Kings that Stan and I are using (and I hope others of you are too). It has generated a lot of information about the symptoms that preceed the real onset of disease. Including headaches, muscle pain as well as fever and cough, but the main symptom is extreme tiredness which apparently appears in nearly all patients. Interesting to know.

Another interesting thing is that this app is now tracking oestrogen levels, as there is increasing evidence that higher levels of oestrogen are protective. Sorry lads!

( I do not think it will become government policy to be asking you all to take the contraceptive pill as a prophylatic!!!)

So far that is my news for today, other than I have still not broken the lockdown...having not been near my grandaughter in 6 weeks...and in that time she has learnt to walk and says Cat now...before she has said Nanny!
 
We manipulated the figures to show that we had at least sent out 100,000 plus tests. That's what this government have tried to do regarding all stats from the beginning. Some people see it, some people see it and choose to ignore it and some people are just too simple to see it.

Doesn't drinking beer increase oestrogen levels? Just asking as a matter of scientific curiosity. :D

So the governments phase plan or roadmap is basically just changing a slogan. How very clever. Who really is in charge of this ****show?? Pathetic, lieing, selfish, cowardly bastards.
 
Ask yourself then, why this country has got the worst death ratio in the world.

Ratio is deaths per Million of population, excluding San Marino and Andorra at present:

747 Belgium
569 Spain
503 Italy
465 UK
403 France

Not great figures but, in context, not the worst. Anything else at present is speculation...

The scary thing is that these five countries are way ahead of the rest - US 242, Sweden 319, Germany 90. I think, given the numbers and the fact that we are about 15 days behind Italy and Spain, we are likely to catch up with them. Belgium records all deaths suspected of COVID involvement as COVID deaths, even if there has been no test. I don’t think any of the others do, positive test needed.
 

Typical that the sun has gone in. 12 hours in the garden getting pissed and sunburnt becoming invulnerable to plague in the process, who could complain?

Fair enough, I saw a graph elsewhere, which showed us worst, with Sweden second
 
In case anyone is a bit confused....

My wife is a corporate communications professional. When she saw the Stay Alert message she said they’ve just asked their comms people to come up with a new slogan without giving them any objectives, reasons, strategy, or intent. And it shows.

Literally meaningless.
