Yes, it seems to be dictated by behavioural scientists.
We are the only country in the world with this plan of 'let everyone get infected.'
I refer you back to the chart. Early days I admit, but it's not working.

Horse racing is still going on behind closed doors..
And are you blind to the dozens, hundreds even, of experts who are saying to do the complete opposite?
What are your thoughts on the chart I posted?

Here’s a good article explaining what we’re getting wrong.
In a nutshell: comms are terrible, science isn’t clear, strategy is high risk for no obvious reward, and we seem to be delaying mostly because of very shaky “behavioural science” than any actual medical or economic reason. Also our actions are based on a whole boat load of unprovable assumptions.
Shows the opposite of what?
It shows our line climbing steeper than any other country.

And it’s silly we’ve only had 2 days since our 10th death so way too soon to say

You don’t think politics has any prevalence in a debate about Coronavirus and the different ways
The Government are attempting to fight it off.
Very Strange.

This thread is actually intended for discussion about the effects of the virus on football but it's just turned into another brexit slanging match.

If the figures are accurate and testing isn't slowing then looks like the last 24 hours were a 'good' day
I said the chart shows that our curve is not flattening.
You said it shows the opposite.
Please tell me where on that chart it shows our curve flattening.
Testing is slowing. We are only testing people that end up in hospital (against WHO guidelines, again, which state that everyone with symptoms should be tested).

Sadly there are some people who will not believe anything the government says even in the face of the evidence.
Also it shows that maths departments of the last 30 years have faileedto teach people how to read graphs or understand percentages relevant to starting value.

Kind of understandable when they roll out Matt Hancock to try and discredit the official statements of the previous day, then go into hiding.

I think since we’ve changed tack with testing the numbers aren’t worth much, hence the move to deaths which doesn’t depend on strategy as much. Regardless let’s hope so. Three data points to make a trend remember.

The more this virus reveals itself and the inevitable economic decline/collapse
That will follow any prolonged lockdown.
The more I find myself coming round to your way of thinking.

He does no such thing. They have said all asking they will implement more measures it's a case of when they think it will be most effective.
This ain't the time for political bullshit

Its just Ringpieces way of trying to score points, i wouldn't listen.......even though he all of a sudden thinks he's the expert and everybody is wrong apart from himself
@Ring Of Steel is now a chief scientific and medical adviser, move along Professor Chris Whitty and Sir Patrick Vallance

Coronavirus is now officially more important than Conor Chaplin signing.
He did though. Patrick Vallance said the UK's plan is herd immunity and then a day or two later Hancock said it isn't.
He then put his plan for dealing with the pandemic in an article behind a paywall, which was nice of him.

Two concurrent threads here though.
