Barring anything else occurring we should be out of lockdown by Easter.Coronavirus: UK R number 'between 0.8 and 1'
The UK's chief medical adviser warns that "a very small change and it could start taking off again".www.bbc.co.uk
At last some good news, hopefully it won't go above 1 again with the lockdown, the increasing number of people who have had it and the vaccines on stream.
Great news!
Hope so, I've got a wedding with 400 guests booked.
Monster.
Enough already.
don't be a schmuck
I thought LaLa had dumped you??
I dumped her actually. She was desperately trying to get into my bubble, but i point blank refused until marriage.
That's not what she told me. She said you kept breaching your restraining order!
I'll drink to that...in a pub!
True.
...and that's why I so strongly disagree with Wiz. Handle the crisis badly or not there were always gonna be deaths and they can't ALL be laid at the govt's door like he stated. Sorry, that's really for another thread.
Full nelson required
85,000 deaths to date and still rising. Every one an avoidable tragedy. The key word being avoidable.
Utter nonsense.masks + lockdown + vaccine + mass testing =
Barring anything else occuring....I don't think I'll be attempting any breath-holding exercises.
Not going down is it?
Which equates to 9995 surviving rather than 9996 out of any 10000 people. But I do agree with Wiz: every single death was avoidable so I see this as a distraction to the real culpability for what was allowed to happen.
Every single death was avoidable? Really? I've read some shite on here but you and Wiz take the biscuit with your sweeping statements.
Of course they were avoidable. As they were in the rest of the world. Just needed China to be honest in the first place! Whether it came from a wet market or a lab, China fucked up, they allowed it out of their country and the rest of the world is paying and suffering for it. But hey, no blame on China by the likes of Wiz.
...absolute bollocks!!
Apparently your mate Newholland thinks they were unavoidable.
As we've said before, plenty on here, including me, would have closed the borders far earlier and had a stringent lockdown. Weve not had either to date.
Yep, but he's based his answer based on current events. I'm going back to where it all started. And that's China. So of course you'll agree with me and say that if China had acted responsibly then all this might never have happened. But yep, in your blinkered eyes every death in the UK is our govt's fault.
As you said, it was always going to get out, even without China's stonewalling. To that extent it was always going to happen. It's how you deal with the fallout, and we continue to lurch from one disaster to another.
And once again, you miss the whole point. We could have locked down two weeks earlier than Italy but if the disease is already here then it's here and it's gonna wreak havoc. China were lying to the world right thru into January. How many thousands of people were going into and out of China in all that time. In fact China were still in denial yesterday. What part don't you understand about how they havecaused all this yet you don't blame them for a single death in this country.
But the stonewalling was happening whilst they were doing nothing about it. They were telling the WHO that it wasn't transmitted from human to human. They were lying thru their teeth. Many people were commuting in and out of China but you want to exonerate them from as not being responsible for any deaths in our country? Madness.
And you're missing the point that it didnt stop other countries keeping it out despite China doing exactly the same. Why would that be, if not through having a different response?
....and the other countries with no reported deaths are?
According to the Chinese Govt representative on the news last night, China are being blamed for a disease that was sent to Wuhan by the USA.
Chris Whitty lying through his backside again on National T.V.... I presume he thinks the British Public are completely gormless or something.... Trying to bullshit everyone that "The case numbers are possibly coming down or maybe stabiliising a little".... No Chris the numbers are dropping like a fecking stone 25% week on week, we're not blind!!

Currently Australia for starters.
Counter balanced by those who caught it more than a month ago and have died a lingering death. Only counting those diagnosed in the last 28 days.
I know what he’s doing.. Lying and treating the public like idiots.
Look, i've said that this govt have made some big mistakes but they were all made when the disease was already here. All I see from those on your side of the debate is to simply go back to early March when we were starting to realise the effects this disease might have on the country and the rest of the world. But, it's a fact that this disease goes back to at least December last year, and maybe even earlier. And China were trying to cover it up. But in Wizs words China is blameless and every death in our country is the fault of this govt. And of course it will be Boris's fault if anyone from this wedding dies.
