It’s amazing how people jump from one implausible defence to another to avoid admitting the government fucked up. We were a literal laughing stock to most of the world. Have a read of what other countries were saying about our strategy. The idea no one could see this coming is frankly hilarious.

Didn't they say it doesn’t pass through food? Spreading coronavirus: ‘There have been no reports of transmission through food’

Or to the fact that if you’re self isolating you want food that doesn’t go off in three days. Nobody stockpiles plums.

You realise there’ll be more stock right? Do you want them to not put anything out until they have stock of everything? Literally none of it is important. There’s plenty of supplies and smaller shops seem to be OK and as soon as the next delivery arrives so will supermarkets. There’s no actual...

Yes, one of these precautions is social distancing that you were arguing a minute ago was excessive.

Jesus. From: Subscribe to read | Financial Times 260,000 deaths under the original plan. Living with social distancing for a year or more.

Basically my thoughts.

Yes. That’s how serious this is. That’s why every finance minister on the planet is trying to work out a global financial response to it. We’re talking 2008 levels but with the bonus of everything should start up again if we get through it.

To quote an Harvard epidemiologist: “Who do you think works at these nursing homes? Highly trained gibbons?” There’s no such thing as social distancing for X. You have to reduce down the average movement for everyone to slow down the spread. Over a long enough timeline literally everyone will...

“Why don’t you believe in Britain?” “It’s almost like you want us to get a shit trade deal” Come on mate, you’re better than that.

No. The mistake they made was to think they knew better ultimately. They thought they could do what the Chinese with all their social control couldn’t. They wanted a way for this not to fuck the economy and so when one was offered, no matter how crackpot it obviously was to anyone with even a...

Cant wait to hear how all this was Boris’ genius plan the stupid foreigners wouldn’t understand.

There comes a point where you’ve got to admit it looks like a fuck up and all signs point to fuck up.

It was always going to come, the data was telling us clearly we were on the same track as other European countries. I wish there was more transparency around what the trigger points for adding and removing certain measures were. It’s not like there’s an enemy watching and we’re all adults. You...

We should organise something on here for any SBTers in need.

By that logic let’s shut down the NHS.

It’s not been thought through at all. I guess your alternative is face mask gloves and buckets of hand sanitiser.

Tough but official advice is you shouldn’t be in contact with your dad and should be leaving his shopping outside the door. I’m just glad my parents don’t need daily care. God knows what I’d do otherwise.

We are further along the curve than we thought. So basically everyone who doesn’t suck Boris’ dick was right. Who knew?
