It's great the leaders of the other parties are putting politics aside and wishing him the best, it's a nice sight to the usually daily attacks from each party to the next

The response wasn't as snappy as it could have been, but it hasn't been overly light IMO.

There is of course the issue of parliament not really sticking to their own rules; clambering all over each other, leaning over shoulders, whispering in each others ears... Whilst informing everyone else to keep a 2 meter distance. It's a bit confusing why they thought it didn't apply to them. But a lot of them have caught it so it clearly went round parliament.

Not entirely accurate, we had folks up at the podium talking about it, he was talking about it, we found out what his advisors had been saying about protecting the economy rather than the people.

The WHO have said that attacking the virus and being quick and decisive are the most important things, so even pissing about with this for a week has cost lives; not only that, but this has been known about since December, so the fact we only heard about this plan in early March before it was scrapped publicly not long after (tories still deny the strategy ever existed despite video of the cabinet speaking about it), disguises the fact there is no way they weren't working to this plan since it started to spread through Europe.

We knew we were 2 weeks behind Italy, and we tried to Pontius Pilate our way through it. As Cummings is reported to have said "If we lose a few thousand old people to save the economy, then so be it".

Also I suspect Boris will have been sent to ICU "earlier" than most as they'll be being extra cautious.

I'm also relatively sure it's 50/50 of cases on ventilator... Not 50/50 of all ICU admissions but there's conflicting info there so I might be wrong.

I seem to recall the percentage was 75/25 for ICU recovery ..

I bet Adam Boulton regrets his horrendous smirking when he broke the news on Sky that Boris had been tested positive for Cov19

My understanding was that they got the modelling from imperial college, saw the projected figures from the herd approach, said oh **** and changed strategy. I mean, i can understand it from a Tory party focused on the economy it would take a bit of convincing to shut everything down, but they did do it. Could it have been done sooner? Maybe, but I think you have to bring the people along with you in order to carry a lockdown out successfully, and things needed to get to a stage before that happened, so I think the timing was right for the country personally. Maybe when looked on in a couple of year it will be seen differently

They found data they liked and used it to justify their approach. What we saw of it, is the bit when they were ready to share, but this was going on before. Just comparing your dismissal of my concerns for a strategy that without question cost lives, versus your reaction to Starmer, is illuminating.

Modelling from Imperial college or the WHO who'd been dealing with it since China went public in December? We even had the example of the European countries on our doorstep, and we wasted the advance we had to pursue a strategy that no one was recommending as a way to deal with it. For one reason only.

I don’t know if anyone has posted the link before but on the bbc news site it gives you a Coronavirus map of cases in the uk you can type in your post code and it tells you how many confirmed cases in your area

There is also a break down of how many deaths in each age group.

You don't get to decide or demand what a mod does or does not do regarding forum moderation.

Having just been made aware of certain comments that were posted I must say it's completely out of order and will be dealt with.
