3-4% of the UK population is 2 million people. Obviously not every one in the country will get the virus but even if only a quarter did that would still be 500k deaths. What an utterly insane suggestion.

Schools should have been closed sooner. We are working on an assumption of being shut for most of if not all of the summer term. This guy talking about reopening while 500-1000 die per day isn’t in the real world

Like I said, it’s a shame. But being kept indoors and staying on the computer too long can do funny things. Hope he’s OK

His mental state today is similar to mine after a day of conceding 95th minute equalisers

The German system requires a funding model as i understand it where higher earners pay for a service. I’ve advocated this but my suspicion is the country is so conditioned to it being “free” that it will once again be shouted down as a privatisation ruse

People keep comparing German & UK health systems. Funded differently, adminstered differently.
People also keep mistaking % of GDP spent on the respective services with Govt spending.

It's irrelevant to me, we shouldn't be so far behind them. It's not acceptable as far I'm concerned

Tony that’s like saying it was a proud moment for all Labour supporters in 2009 when Jacque Smith denied the Police their pay award from the previously binding Police Arbitration panel, and for the first time ever the Police tried to change law to be able to strike.

That arguments bullshit, as they all fuck over the emergency services when it suits them.
Click to expand...

Agree with that to an extent, the last Labour government introduced the Gershon review and various other 'efficiency' drives into the public sector, rarely paid inflationary pay increases albeit paid more than the pitiful increases of the last 10 years. Let him without sin cast the first stone and all that.....but....they didn't underfund services overall like the post 2010 governments have.

300 pages ago he was saying the whole thing was social media hyperbole and the other European countries were stupid for going into lock down. It's hard not to argue with somebody who says such ridiculous things, especially when he continually has the audacity to try and paint everyone else as the idiots.

I actually find it quite repulsive to clap for a man who’s part of the regime that has systematically fucked the NHS over for ten years having clapped for that very NHS with my wife and kids the last two weeks.

Hope he makes a full recovery and all that but I’ll be watching TV.

Gove now isolating.
Is there a case for bringing a few senior Tories in, perhaps one of their ex PMs?
Whatever anyone thinks of this cabinet it's inexperienced and increasingly short on numbers.

Thats probably because your buddy Donald Trump has "financial interests" in the company that makes it.

I think thats why had the epic meltdown- defending the indefensible for such a prolonged period would send anyone a bit nuts.

Trump is going big on it. His experts are saying limited success in a limited number of cases. He even stopped one of them answering a question about it the other night in his live briefing saying he’d already answered it and the reporter said that he wanted to ask the expert and Trump stopped it. This is the same Trump who was making a point of shaking hands while saying that this is the latest Democrats hoax. Still, what harm ever came from shaking hands in the middle of a pandemic.

Trump has a stake in the company that makes the drug, that should tell you all you need to know.
