Although it's being said partly for morale and partly as a govt PR exercise I think they need to be careful about use of terms like that. People are already starting to be more lackadaisical in what they're doing and saying stuff like that is just going to lead to more complacency. Plus as you...

Yep. When you build a nation to be obsessed with money and wealth the calls for making money will begin way before it's sensible from a health perspective. I'm certain future generations will look back on us as idiots. Even if the polls are misleading, that's all they are - polls. Just because...

That may well be one of the factors involved along with what I've mentioned (I think someone asked one of the African presidents why they'd had no cases and he said "it's very simple - we have no tests". But even so if the manner of people dying is different from normal it would get flagged up...

I agree with that respect - the lack of testing/isolating travellers is a massive fuck up. But that's not to say the measures put in place haven't been worthwhile. They'd have been much better if we'd had these measures as well but just becuase we made the error with travel doesn't mean we may...

Africa has much less international travel so less likely to import it from numerous sources (easier track and trace) and often people living in less dense areas as they have more agricultural based economies etc. There may well be other factors (I don't know if something like the climate will...

But they are 'emergency' hospitals - they don't have all the facilities of a major hospital or indeed the workforce. To my knowledge they were an absolute last case for the really sick. Their use was going to be more like 'halfway house' rehabilitation centres for those recovering to free up the...

In terms of % of people confirmed with corona dying from it yes. But in absolute figures of deaths if they're testing loads of people you'd expect them to have a higher number of overall deaths purely because they'd know that people had the virus. Their numbers are lower than ours, which...

Piers Morgan IS a massive twat full stop. IMO he's been slightly less of a twat in the pandemic as he has actually questioned whether the response has been good enough and if mistakes have been made. Yes, he's also gone down the scaremongering/sensationalism side as well, but as a tabloid...

Which surprises nobody.

Good sirs, I give you 'the Trump defence'. ;) Or as Bruce/Caitlin Jenner might put it "If the bloke chats shit You must acquit"

Well, if he hadn't put the capital M...unless of course he's specifically talking about a forum member called Many?

Just thought I'd mention that there is a growing belief that we've now peaked (or at least the first wave has). In totally unrelated news guess who's back at work tomorrow.......?

Yep - you go out expecting one pint and before you know it you've got three.

Shit got weird on this thread.

I'd love it it'd you heard them go "F***ing heavy this isn't it?"

The canvas is very, very long.

There could be an Andy Goram every few rows.

From little I've heard of her she makes the rest of them look like pussycats.

It's a ridiculous idea. But if for some unfathomable reason they chose it it'd have to be done like the NFL play-offs in my opinion Wild card weekend for those in play-offs , they then play the top two and the winners of those get promoted. The losers then play each other as the 'play-off...

But they've kind of been flirting with that for a while. They need a distraction so make a bit more it.
