Yet some had a go at me for saying this would happen. The only problem is that the Tories took their time in doing so. And they still haven't said it clear enough.
The idiots need to know they need to stay at home. They need to realise they are not above the rest of us.

Confused by that mate! So they all weren't on the same day then?

I know this weirdo has blocked me but I'm just going to laugh at him for pretending this is what he meant by more lockdown restrictions

You are an obnoxious twat.
I said what had happened elsewhere. This is the only thing that hadn't happened. So you ignore the rest and back the Tories. I wasn't making it up. If I had I would have been wrong on businesses closing, schools closing, fines being introduced an the lockdown happening. Not my fault that the Tories could have done more.

As we say each day it is the day the are reported on not the day they die on. If you die today but they confirm it as covid-19 on tuesday and report the death you would ge in Tuesdays figures

You truly are the king of whataboutism aren't you? I don't think you ever make an argument on here that isn't just bringing up something completely irrelevant that someone else has done to defend your side of the argument.
I think you know that stuff like handing out permits for balloons and ordering a complete lockdown of a city are on a completely different scale and wouldn't be covered by the same departments or require the same levels of authorisation. I know you're obviously intentionally missing the point of Astute's post in an attempt at a 'gotcha' moment but come on.

Saw a story that they'd turned a family from Wigan around (family of 6) and escorted them back to the M6. I seriously do not understand what is wrong with some people. I know not everybody has a garden or outside space, but a family of 6 from Wigan is likely to.

That’s my family’s annual Easter pilgrimage to Bundoran out the window then.

You’re not the only one ! What they are saying (and to be fair I’ve heard the medical officers saying it previously) is that the daily death numbers aren’t just the deaths that have occurred on that given day
ps as far as I’m aware the confirmed cases are more accurate assessment of the numbers for that day (might be wrong though).

I'd say you're right! I've never been to Donegal, never been further north than Tipperary in fact..

Given that you said the Russian army was patrolling the streets of Italy it’s probably best advised that you don’t go down that route.

Ive give up trying to understand people’s actions. All we can hope is that it’s a tiny minority (i fear not though)

No Dom, I put something similar up last week.
That's why you can't get too hung up and the numbers there's a whole host of reasons why they may not be accurate. It must be a nightmare trying to record them accurately at the moment.
When the curve starts to flatten you'll know.

Biggest problems here are with the travelling/ Roma community apparently- ignoring social distancing, can't read the instructions, big numbers living on top of each other etc.. probably no surprise that they are suffering disproportionately with infection rates.

So much for the great British sense of humour. Do you really think America isn’t parodying Trump themselves? Have you ever seen Saturday Night Live?

You don’t know what you’re missing out on. Bundoran? More like Fundoran
It’s like Blackpool, only less classy and with less to do.

Yeah I agree- if you're in that position you need to be able to handle this stuff. Anyway Trump is a dangerous psycho and needs locking up.

Yep you've lied about what they have said then spent hours attacking them for following the advise of the health experts.
Oh wait you haven't

No it didn't. The yanks loved it and as he said at the time legally he couldn't turn it down and then allow the racists to have a blimp of him.

What is confusing about it. It's the deaths reported on that day not the amount of deaths that day

He's right though. Astute did predict this and is now claiming the national trust closing their parks as a vindication

What is confusing to me is why we have the same discussion about this every day yet people still act surprised.
The ONS figures are more accurate but don’t come out daily and are always weeks later as they allow time for everything to be reported and allocated to the date of death rather than date of reporting.
But even those figures won’t be completely accurate. The closest we’ll probably get is comparing the total death rate (all causes) to the same time in previous years.
I know, my point was that Dom wasn’t the only one, a lot of people (in particular the media) have been following those numbers alone, even though it’s been stated previously that they aren’t just deaths that occurred that day (the medical officers have obviously got to the point where they wanted to be explicit hence the accompanying note)
I’m a little surprised by the split though, thought a higher proportion might be from actual day and also not so may from last month. This does make reading the potential peak from these impossible (confirmed cases should be a better guide)

And you came back to this thread after a few days behind the lines? I’d leave em to it.. That isn’t a slight on you. This thread is toxic.
