    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Hmmmm Horton has got a bit of an axe to grind through. If he’d been contacted by hundreds or at least tens of people saying the same Id definitely take notice (surely if he’s been contacted by one he’d have undertaken some investigations to find out if this is a widespread issue - not saying...

    I know I shouldn’t as it’s a serious subject but I had to chuckle earlier as he’s having an absolute mare isn’t he (it’s like everything he’s touched has turned to shit recently). I bet it will be the new testing guy that will get the credit for getting the capacity up to 100k next week as well...

    Agree that there must’ve been an error to send them there but if you think about it youre not going to have a load of specialist ICU nurses just waiting around for potential overflow patients to come to the nightingale. They are likely to have to be called in or deployed from other hospitals...

    Depends on your viewpoint I guess mate ! I see that as potentially thousands of lives that could’ve been seriously ill/died that haven’t. Id definitely still argue that the negative headline/story run by The guardian and the Mail (potentially others) was in my view unnecessary

    Proud to work at HMRC

    Not saying it’s not their problem (and ultimately it will be the minister taking the flack) just that there’s a lot of highly paid people and from the initial problems it suggests some probably weren’t probably doing a very good job...Hancock included ! Ps also read yesterday that there’s a...

    To be fair Piers Morgan has asked some valid/reasonable questions which need to be asked but in these type of situations there’s got to be balance for wider public’s mental health. i believe the media has got the balance wrong and as a whole appear to prefer to focus on every last drop of...

    100%. The government have been clear they will announce the release of the measures in due course. I can understand why. For example you say that small groups of can start interacting again from 4 May...nobody can tell me that people wouldn’t start meeting on the days before that date (‘what’s a...

    It does appear to be waning a little (which is why timing of its implementation was so important) By and large I’d imagine a majority of the population are still following social distancing so it would be disappointing to see a climb in numbers on the back of groups of idiots queuing for a five...

    Proud to work at HMRC

    Like with everything (inc the private sector) there’s good and bad elements of the civil service. For all the stick Hancock has got/is getting (a majority of it fair/correct), there will be senior civil servants that will no doubt be just as much to blame for the PPE and testing situations we...

    Proud to work at HMRC

    Fair play Pete and well done HMRC for getting everything operational so quickly The furlough scheme will hopefully keep hundreds of thousands (if not more) in work that would ordinarily have been made redundant. It will also hopefully provide us with the ability to get the economy moving post...

    Agree, no ssue with them being open, but people need to adhere to the social distancing as much as possible (and stores should also be trying to enforce it, like the supermarkets are now doing)

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    In terms of trying to return the country to some form of normality a reliable antibody test will be massive, as I think will be the NHS app if they can get it up and running (issues with Apple/android around data protection) - which can automatically notify you if you’ve been around someone...

    Not really, or not yet anyway, unless the virus disappears or until a vaccine has found. If a country has locked down sooner/better then their infections and deaths will of course be a lot less at the moment. However, assuming (and it’s still a big assumption) that (a large majority of) people...
