I think they're right in being cautious. If we open up too early things will get worse quickly.
Hopefully the vaccine will help. I really think things will be better by spring.

^^^^^^

Today’s figures are remarkably similar to those from a week ago apart from the infection rate which is 13,000 lower than last Tuesday

Some good news ...

Dread to think what happens when we lift the restrictions though

One for you Zizu ...hospital deaths are down to a 1/5, so for every hospitalised 4 come home

Yes..but atm those beds are being instantly filled, and this will happen for about 3 weeks still.

Yes I know, Zizu was asking about hospital admission deaths a few weeks ago

Tragic though eh..

The fact that the beds are just getting refilled.

I knew you knew, I was just listing the fact and fancied a chat.

Concluded just 36mins,

At least he said he was sorry for every Death.

People only believe sturgeon when she says that, boris looked close to tears to me.

As a body expert, I can tell you when he shrugged his shoulders when he said the word "stage" is a coping mechanism your body automatically does to keep you in control.

[parmnion]

Starmer calls the number a national tragedy.

which actually puts more pressure on bed occupancy. So the number of hospitalised is likely to take a long time to come down

Good to hear him express at last some condolences to the masses of lost lives.

Too many press conferences he's failed to do so.

However strong questioning as to his handling of this virus.
He's was right to say, he takes responsibility for what's been done
Indeed he does and he will too.

I don't know which families he's spoken to, those of his MPs possibly who've lost loved ones.
He's refused repeatedly to speak to groups of bereaved, my family among them
Although I see he brushed over the question of if he hadn't, why not.

That's for another day.

I saw and heard no positive news in this conference.
The gloom on the faces of Whitty and Stevens saying more than Johnson's words.

Anyhow, it is a milestone, passing 100,000 which according to the ONS was near a week ago anyhow .
Never mind he's eventually been made to catch up, even on his own figures now.

It is really a scandal, to be told only in March last year, not even a year ago.
That on this pandemic a ' good ',( hardly a word to use on deaths), result would be 20,000.
10 months on, over 5 times that amount now over 100,000 loved ones lost.
Lost, gone for good.
Hundreds of thousands, and even more left devastated, grieving and for a good number, thousands possibly, even greater unnecessary losses of lives.

Passing 100,000 deaths on his own set of figures is disastrous.
I applaud his acknowledgement as to the deaths and his belated from over many weeks condolences too.

However, I'm not excusing him, his Ministers, or his government for I think what will be seen as a scandal as to his on/off procrastination, delays on PPE, the care home cruelty of captive residents being exposed to hospital discharges returning to those homes.
Then losing thousands of lives there too.

Plus care staff and NHS staff, Doctors and Nurses, also losing lives because of the governmental farce on PPE.

So this is an awful, desperately sad day.
For goodness knows how many bereaved.
From the scandal of being told we were well prepared, even before the first lockdown was thought of.
When not in any shape or form was the UK prepared at all.

He says, he takes responsibility, I hope he will because he should.
The final decisions on things have had to have his approval.
I hope unlike other inquiry's.
Once one is done in this pandemic and his government's handling of it, that he will take that responsibility and not question the findings as he likes to do.

There's a lot of people and groups longing to be heard at any inquiry.
Ready and prepared with their own sets of facts, medical records and information revealing the unnecessary risks and dangers allowed to be in place and continue to stay in place, that's brought long term and permanent health conditions from long covid, plus of course risks and dangers which have taken away loved ones with unnecessary losses of lives.

I've seen and heard nothing positive or good in this press conference.
I can sense the groans coming but my only thoughts are with all of those across the UK, who have lives left more empty and crushed by losses of close loved ones.
Those who've never been able to be with them as they lost them, or be able to pay respects to them at their funerals too.
Over 100,000 lost at the present time.

There's nothing good, positive, or to joke about as to that damning and devastating figure of Human lives lost.
Nothing at all.
