Do you think we are in a rap battle?

We can agree on that at least. It's a scandal but the government have established such a cult following from Brexit I fear they will shrug it off.

You clearly couldn't grasp we were looking at a similar growth curve to Italy or why logarithmic scales were used. As for you final sentence I think you need to take some time out from the internet.

All we established is that colloquially the restrictions are referred to overall as "lockdown" and that you have a low reading comprehension as I hadn't even mentioned lockdown. Maybe one day you will learn to be a bit more humble and then you will stop making an arse of yourself.

The early pages of this thread make entertaining reading. Take this classic. This is the guy who was condescendingly lecturing people on graphs and data analysis and ending his posts with #micdrop.

Libertarians pushing opening up economy hard, same as in America. The next few months is going to be a battle between rationality and the wider good vs libertarian think tanks loaded with cash (when was it ever any different). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is some correlation between lockdown actions, that’s clear based on how the curve has changed in countries who have implemented it, but I’d agree with you to an extent in that the correlation is not as strong as you might expect so there are clearly a lot of other factors going on. Sent...

Depends, is there a dance routine invovlved?

But Hill the situation is "unprecedented" and they're trying REALLY hard.

Will be interesting to see how that affects things. No news on schools?

From what I understand they were turned away due to a lack of staff. Why send patients there if there was no need to? It was a great achievement to get them built and great we didn't go over capacity but something seems to have gone wrong with the logistics/planning since then.

I thought the same but still an idiotic comment that will probably see people drinking bleach.

Why would it? Personally I think that is just an excuse from the government because they don't want to say yet. If people had an idea of an exit plan they'd have a clearer idea of what was going on and what the expectation was and wouldn't start to flount the rules. Somebody is bound to retort...

I can't offer much back on your points as my perspective is only as a student but the media coverage over the last few years on testing and metrics is worrying and as I said, the traditional school system and methods clearly don't cater for some personality types (I'm sure that's improved...

Italian lessons: what we've learned from two months of home schooling Quite an interesting essay on home schooling children in Italy. As somebody who mostly found school very restrictive and uninspiring but in later life have looked at education completely differently through doing an Open Uni...

I can understand that mentally that makes a big difference. Since the "lockdown" started all I have done is driven to work, walk the dog a few blocks and walked to the local shop. Occasionally I will walk the dog to memorial park. So almost the same effect has been achieved by our government...

Aside from the 200 m rule and the PPE (which is only because we don't have enough, the government are slowly changing position to reflect the stance of other nations - how many times has that happened during this crisis?) that's no different to here. It all comes under the "non-essential...

What's different?

I think it's all about the government strategy and is influenced by ideology. The whole approach is very hands off. Trying to get the nation to do something while not mandating much of it or being too restrictive. They're very careful with language and terminology. There seems to be a lot of...
