The Tories are doing whatever they can to save their own assses, as usual. They are not telling us everything, just drip feeding us bits, day by day, so that they cannot be held to account.
When it is all over, they will distance themselves completely from anything they should have done earlier, then get on with trashing low paid workers again, the very people that are helping us through this crisis.
After months and months of telling us cleaners, low paid workers are worthless, they are now the very ones we are all relying on.
The Tories really are shameless, and will do whatever it takes to stay in power.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The herd immunity thing is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. It was basically a front to keep businesses running as normal for as long as possible.
For one thing, how could you possibly implement such a strategy before a vaccine existed? You couldn't possibly protect the elderly and vulnerable.
Even if you accept Boris doesn't really give a shoot about the elderly and vulnerable, then herd immunity still direct make sense. So it's better for us all to get it in phases? If that's the case, then why allow people to come and go as they please for so long. That was always going to lead to the overwhelming of the health sector we will see in the next week or two.
He's so incompetent and flawed, that he managed to catch the disease himself!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He’s following the scientific advice so essentially you are suggesting they are incompetent and flawed.
Really?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He's following the scientific advice he chooses to follow. Nobody is in overall agreement in this. It's certainly not the scientific advice other leaders and countries have taken. And even he hasn't spoken about the ludicrous herd immunity in weeks, such was the absolute boll licks I was.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The scientists he has at his disposal are the best our country has to offer. What else is he to follow?
And yes he was foolish to state herd immunity so early on but eventually that’s where we will be.

Nobody on this planet knows how this will pan out. Every country is different so we are going to be subjected to all sorts of theories, graphs, projections and outright guesses, some of which are based more on other diseases and viruses and some far more radical.
The point being nobody knows for certain so the question as to who was correct and who was incorrect won’t be known for some time. All anyone can do is listen to the advice and go with weight and opinion but at the end of it all there’s still an element of guess albeit supported by basic principles such as cleanliness, distancing etc.

The EU will be all but defunct after all this I’d imagine.
How can they possibly go back to this so called unity when practically every member country has battened down the hatches and undertaken measures to solely protect their own borders and citizens and then start to reimplement their rules?
Each country will have to pay its own bill and recoup the money from its own population. The notion that on top of this they will continue to fund the EU project whilst they suffer will be way down the agenda and their leadership in all of this is up for serious question.
The infrequent noises coming from Brussels are solely those of job protection. Nothing more.
Being one of t he at risk/vulnerability I can’t wait to be first in line to get this magic vaccine that like the flu will stop people getting covid-19.
And seeing people wash their hands correctly all year round, coughing and sneezing into tissues etc.
Then we won’t see any covid deaths like we don’t see any from those who have a four vaccine.

You would have to be completely stupid to think that this is all going to be over before June. In all probability it will go on for the rest of the year in one form or another, maybe even longer.
You don`t think they would be putting in place these field hospitals, given out untold amounts of money to keep the economy afloat, if this was a going to be a short term couple of months thingy.
The Tories have basically trashed their whole economic plan of the past 10 years, in the space of two weeks.
Believe me this is serious.

The herd immunity thing is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. It was basically a front to keep businesses running as normal for as long as possible.
For one thing, how could you possibly implement such a strategy before a vaccine existed? You couldn't possibly protect the elderly and vulnerable.
Even if you accept Boris doesn't really give a shoot about the elderly and vulnerable, then herd immunity still direct make sense. So it's better for us all to get it in phases? If that's the case, then why allow people to come and go as they please for so long. That was always going to lead to the overwhelming of the health sector we will see in the next week or two.
He's so incompetent and flawed, that he managed to catch the disease himself!!!

He’s following the scientific advice so essentially you are suggesting they are incompetent and flawed.
Really?

Was he though? If he was, why did all others around the world asked to see it? And then why did they backtrack?

The Tories are doing whatever they can to save their own assses, as usual. They are not telling us everything, just drip feeding us bits, day by day, so that they cannot be held to account.
When it is all over, they will distance themselves completely from anything they should have done earlier, then get on with trashing low paid workers again, the very people that are helping us through this crisis.
After months and months of telling us cleaners, low paid workers are worthless, they are now the very ones we are all relying on.

He's following the scientific advice he chooses to follow. Nobody is in overall agreement in this. It's certainly not the scientific advice other leaders and countries have taken. And even he hasn't spoken about the ludicrous herd immunity in weeks, such was the absolute boll licks I was.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The scientists he has at his disposal are the best our country has to offer. What else is he to follow?
And yes he was foolish to state herd immunity so early on but eventually that’s where we will be.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The assumption you're (wrongly) making is that all the best scientists we have came to the same conclusions. In reality, he chose to listen to those who told him what he wanted to hear. The results of which we are yet to fully see

Nobody on this planet knows how this will pan out. Every country is different so we are going to be subjected to all sorts of theories, graphs, projections and outright guesses, some of which are based more on other diseases and viruses and some far more radical.
The point being nobody knows for certain so the question as to who was correct and who was incorrect won’t be known for some time. All anyone can do is listen to the advice and go with weight and opinion but at the end of it all there’s still an element of guess albeit supported by basic principles such as cleanliness, distancing etc.

The EU will be all but defunct after all this I’d imagine.
How can they possibly go back to this so called unity when practically every member country has battened down the hatches and undertaken measures to solely protect their own borders and citizens and then start to reimplement their rules?
Each country will have to pay its own bill and recoup the money from its own population. The notion that on top of this they will continue to fund the EU project whilst they suffer will be way down the agenda and their leadership in all of this is up for serious question.
The infrequent noises coming from Brussels are solely those of job protection. Nothing more.

Being one of t he at risk/vulnerability I can’t wait to be first in line to get this magic vaccine that like the flu will stop people getting covid-19.
And seeing people wash their hands correctly all year round, coughing and sneezing into tissues etc.
Then we won’t see any covid deaths like we don’t see any from those who have a four vaccine.

You would have to be completely stupid to think that this is all going to be over before June. In all probability it will go on for the rest of the year in one form or another, maybe even longer.
You don`t think they would be putting in place these field hospitals, given out untold amounts of money to keep the economy afloat, if this was a going to be a short term couple of months thingy.
The Tories have basically trashed their whole economic plan of the past 10 years, in the space of two weeks.
Believe me this is serious.
