Any other UK government would be taking the same advice from the same specialists that the current government are, so having the Labour Loonies in charge (or whoever) would have made zero difference. This countries problem is the number of people per square metre, having a population density that we have in the UK was always going to make it difficult to control the spread of the virus.

I usually agree with you on most things Billy. But the Tories have been awful in handling this. And calling Labour Loonies is hardly helpful. They have some very capable people within their ranks, and frankly are a lot more trustworthy than most Tory MPs.

I don`t think I have ever seen a more slippery collection of MPs in one Party, than the current Tory lot. Lying comes as second nature to them.

No. Taking advice an acting on it are two different things. We all know Boris and his key advisor didn't act on the advice. If Boris had listened he wouldn't have ended up in hospital. So it's not fair to say anyone would've done the same. In fact I would hope that everyone reading this would be smart enough to not go round a Covid ward without a mask on shaking everyone's hand.

Japan has a much higher population density than the UK and so far has only recorded 907 deaths, so that doesn't make sense either.

And face masks compulsory from 15th June, but not today, or for the last 3 months.

Ludicrous.

The R rate is not a reliable number.

None of their numbers are reliable.

Yeah that is ridiculous lot others like the s3x being illegal now with someone else outside your household and wasnt from the beginning.

The mask thing has been confused/ridiculous from the beginning. It is simple to me. If you can get hold of a mask or make one, then just wear it. If you can't get hold of one, then don't take the risk

Bad leadership from the government and idiot members of the public. It's a deadly combination.
