    Yet again they made mistakes but not how they should have done it better.

    So out of all them words there was just these two things you say we should have done differently. So you say we should have gone into lockdown before getting financial matters sorted for those who were going to be put out of work. And the government should have taken over the shops by the...

    I haven't denied anything. So what have they done wrong? What should they have done instead? If it was lockdown earlier then hiw much earlier should it have been? Were they wrong to advise on social distancing whilst putting financial plans together? Or should they have just shut the UK and...

    When his teachers found out they were happy just to shake his hand. Can you imagine if a teacher tried to kiss every child at a school in the UK? Their first day would be their last.

    So there shouldn't be any difference between a small country that has 10,000 cases of infection against a large country that has 20,000 cases of infection? Of course 'per capita' shows how well any country is coping. The higher the percentage of infection the less chance there is of them coping.

    It is constant Boris attacks. And those who do the constant Boris attacks will not say how earlier they would have done lockdown. Because then you would have to consider what would have been in place financially for those affected. Also you would have had hardly any cases for the NHS whilst we...

    How about France? When my lad started school there he refused to do their traditional greeting. 'I'm not kissing my teacher twice all the time' he said. They were astonished when they found out teachers in the UK don't greet their pupils with a kiss on both cheeks.....

    When it is made law yes it will be important. That should be today....tomorrow at the latest. Then we will have to see what procedures they put in place to show why we are not at home. At least the fines will start as minimal. Then they will be put up with the excuse that people are ignoring...

    Explain how per capita distorts against small countries. The numbers can go for or against. But you make out it can only be against. You must agree with this person for some reason....... Switzerland have been acknowledged as having one of the worse rates in Europe. Have you an excuse for this?

    Things must be put in place for it to work. Look at the BBQ incident yesterday in Coventry. They know we are not in a proper lockdown yet as it hasn't been passed as law. People need to know about financial matters. Companies need to know if they are to continue or shut. Everyone needs to know...

    And that is the problem. So many people want to put their views across. And when someone points out something they always find an excuse. So far we still don't know which direction this will go in. But we have many that know what will happen.....

    I don't read too much into the bits that don't make sense. Too much of it. A guess is the gospel to many and others believe every word they see.

    Per capita is the correct and most accurate way to see the effect. Shows how some people try and put their point across. Let's try and explain. Population of Switzerland 8.5m Population of the UK 66.4m Mortality rate Switzerland 6 per day UK 40 per day Which is the worse? Switzerland has a...

    I'm close to 2 weeks. Had a hectic start to the year so was a good excuse at first to be lazy for a bit. But time to be busy now. Batteries are recharged and ready to go. Looks like I could be working a minimum 72 hours a week most weeks until it is over. Don't want those at risk to feel like...

    London is our major problem. We haven't reached the time when we find out how many were infected on those crammed tube trains. Wouldn't take that many to infect a lot. And how many of them live away from London? Could be a mini New York.
