He'll claim because she works under an SNP government she will be an SNP supporter forgetting that she is a civil servant

Find it difficult to believe Sturgeon would appoint a Tory, but keep grasping.

Come Tom back up what you say and don't have a hissy fit because the facts of the case make you look stupid.

I didn't say every second home owner was a Tory either so why lie about that Thomas?

I don't know why Hancock just doesn't say something like "herd immunity was part of our original plan but we had to react to what was happening"- thats reasonable enough, but all the bullshit just further takes away the guy's credibility.

Its quite a turnaround because Amir Khan said Gates was implanting mind control on everyone a few hours ago.

Sweden are a country that might pull it off- much superior healthcare system, much lower population, fewer 'megacity' type areas- good luck to them.

It was the plan, they’re just lying again. The scary thing is it was put forward by “behavioural scientists”, not medical or virus experts.

The very idea of individuals having billions while others are starving goes against everything I believe in........and I honestly believe he feels the same.

But as we know (as I’ve attached this previously) it wasn’t the governments plan to ‘take it on the chin’

Here is the transcript of what Boris Johnson said on This Morning about the new coronavirus

This was from 5 March, 10-14 days prior to implementation of social distancing measures ie saying they would take measures to flatten the peak rather that just let everyone get it.

From my understanding, what most commentators appear to be missing (or ignoring) is that the herd immunity theory is still there as a potential underlying longer term benefit of flattening the curve ie you try to minimise the pressure on NHS via lockdowns (which will have to continue until a vaccine is found or antibody tests potentially allow some kind of immunity certificate), gradually more of the population will get it, hopefully without us breaching NHS capacity (although this is unlikely in the next week or two), so with time you have a chance of building herd immunity.

obviously that is very much a last resort as we hope the vaccine will be with us before then or the virus just disappears (the latter being very unlikely unfortunately)

ps the more accurate questions are...1) did the government believe they could do this without implementing strict measures and 2) whether the government implemented the distancing measures soon enough to ensure NHS capacity isn’t breached (which also ties into expansion of capacity and ventilator orders)

I’m not trying to be pedantic but there’s a difference with how some people frame the above
