    The support from the public is great, but my son as a Doctor on the Covid19 ward still doesn't have protective equipment. The utter incompetence of the authorities will lead to an increased loss of life amongst the medics and public.

    The primary responsibility of any countries government is the safety and wellbeing of it's population......unless of course it's Donald Trumps country where the most important thing is to get him reelected.

    Same old banks. From 2008 onwards they were refinanced by the government with the direction to get money out into the "real economy". That basically means companies that make and do things. What did they do.....very little...they sat on the cash. I don't object to paying my tax to HMRC, but I...

    HS2 isn't shutting down round here. The workers there are definitely not self isolating, they are holding meetings and briefings with 10+ persons.

    The test is about 70% accurate, so it might be worth having a couple if you at first test negative to be sure. This is what happened with Bolsinaro [Brazilian leader], he tested positive [which he didn't like], so he got a retest and was negative.

    As I stated in my earlier post, we are responsible for the governments we have elected as a country. So clearly, you didn't read my post properly. I have a very specific interest in this subject, as my son is facing the daily threat of Covid19 without proper protection and we'll need him to be...

    The wealth creators in our society are the risk taking entrepreneurs, but the people who generally gain most are the bankers and lawyers who feed off them. They’ve created a system for their own gain. Look at Parliament, it’s full of ex-lawyers, bankers and oxford/Cambridge graduates who studied...

    As a country we got our priorities wrong. Look at the behaviour of government and people it’s been personal gain as the over riding culture.

    My son is a Doctor on the Covid19 wards. He doesn’t have the right protective equipment. There is not enough ventilators and he and his colleagues expect to get ill. As a country we are woefully under resourced for what we are facing. This can be attributed to 10 years of under funding the NHS...

    The issue for the UK is that we have 2.3 ICU beds per 1000 people, in Italy they have 2.9 ICU beds per 1000 people and they've been overrun. This has led to medics making decisions that people over a certain age or condition are just sent home to die, as they cannot cope. If we don't change our...

    Any governments primary responsibility is to keep it's population safe. That is defence and health, but the current trend is that we have done too little and now it could be too late. I can't believe that we haven't stopped flights into the UK from Iran, Italy, etc. The NHS has less capacity...

    The banking crisis caused reckless bankers, who got away Scot free led to underfunding of our NHS. We are now paying the price of 10 years of austerity.

    The statistics are very misleading as they only refer to people tested in hospitals. The rate of infection is doubling every 3 days. Individuals who think this won’t be a problem for younger members of society are mistaken. The virus can cause lasting lung damage, there is reference to...

    From current evidence the management of preparations for dealing with the virus has been lacking, as the front line staff don't have the right kit & equipment. That sits with government and management.
