The daily briefings on TV at 5pm

every night from the Government, with various other medical scientific and medical personnel alongside. Are they of much use?

How much of the questioning and answering is pre-prepared? Only it looks like the Government Officials are always answering off a sheet of paper, as they always seem to be glancing down, like they already know what questions will be asked, and so have the answers already written down.

Are we really be told the truth? Or is it the usual Political stuff, never really having to answering difficult questions, because they never get asked difficult questions. It always seems to be the same questions every day, but they never really give any answers.

I haven`t a lot of faith in what we are really being told. Two weeks ago we were told the peak would be at Easter, now the peak is apparently another two or three weeks away. I suspect when that time comes it will be a further two or three weeks away.

Obviously, I reckon the Government know a lot more than we are currently being told. I wish for once they would just be all adult, and tell us the exact truth of where we are going. They must have some idea I would have thought.

And also they keep on saying they are following the medical and scientific way forward, then on the other hand saying it is a new virus. So if it is a new virus, how would the scientific and medical people know any more about it, than the average person. Surely they can themselves only now be working on trial and errors methods of eradicating it, and coming up with a vaccine.

Bottom line is common sense tells us all it is a very contagious virus, and absolutely essential to come into contact with as few a people as possible. Which begs the question is why transport is still running, and why are up to 15,000 people still landing at Heathrow daily apparently, without any Healthcare Checks. 20 planes a day still coming in from a Corona Hotspot, USA, with all passengers just being allowed to walz through without any kind of Coronavirus check. I don`t get it.

Is this being handled correctly? Or are more stringent measures still needed?

They sound so robotic during these interviews, especially when they don't answer the question and then slowly work towards there slogan which is getting old now. Trump is hilarious, doesn't take any crap, my kinda guy

Basically he cannot stand any form of criticism, and acts like a spoilt six year old.

I’m surprised you’re not a big fan of his in that case.

Sandy I agree with you
Pointless really
Briefing is more like propaganda to keep us quiet
Feels like they are lizards those guys who stand in the briefing

In Germany we havent got a daily briefing.

The goverment direct their information to the people when they got news like they did yesterday in a press conference.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you have a functioning Bundestag ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you serious Peks? Of course we have. At the moment they are working very well together and gave money for some people and companies without the usual bureaucracy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Including opposition parties questioning them? Wrong name btw.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The funniest quote in his interview the other day is when he said he didn’t mind being criticised

Has Trump ever taken any form of criticism well or ever admitted to being wrong

Piers Morgan seems the only journo out there who is challenging MP's. The rest are a joke.

There are loads of really decent investigative journalists around.

Just not all of them get the kind of exposure / access to political leaders as Morgan.
