I think when you go back and look at some of what you wrote you’ll be a bit embarrassed. That’s not me having a go, but a bit like PVA you go so far into a position you can’t retreat from it

My position was that he shouldn't have shaken hands and boasted about it, the NHS should be better funded and he shouldn't have made a joke about 'Operation Last Gasp'.

That was literally it and no I won't retreat from that.

Apparently that means I want Johnson to die a horrible death and will celebrate it.

I’ve just read 758 deaths in England today. Need to double check this.

UK coronavirus death rate hits new high as 758 die in last 24 hours in England alone and total victims passes 6,000

I would suspect weekend deaths are not accurate most of the time so it’s really the average over the 3 days that needs to be considered

He’s not referring to any of those comments - you seem to have dropped “take it on the chin” with “last gasp”

And yes you're right, my bad, I forgot that the PM suggested we could take it on the chin. Thanks for reminding me.

No- there is no need for any optimism to go out of the window, nothing has changed- most people saying its 7-10 days before we hit the infamous 'peak', I wouldn't be getting glum or excited over any one day's worth of figures in isolation.

You’d think he’d be enjoying his retirement and massive pension.

Instead he’s on here frothing hate.

No I think not. The deaths must be at different time points it’s the entries to hospital that’s the key and also the government has sourced far greater hospital capacity to cope

I don’t understand why people seem to have upped their panic levels since Boris got admitted. Suddenly some who had a blasé view of it are taking it seriously since the news.

Obviously I wish him, and all others, a full and speedy recovery like any sane person would.

Do ffs mate, we've already spoken about how it was likely to be higher with Scotland reporting artificially low count and the delay over a weekend.

It's like you have the attention span of 5 seconds and just react to whatever headline is in front of you.

Remember this "deaths reported does not mean x people died in the last 24 hours, it means that's how many deaths trusts reported in that time frame. Some of these deaths may be as much as a week or more old. You need to look at the new case count which is a better indication of where we are. You also need to remember that new cases will likely rise as we are increasing testing to not just the people who present at hospital. A good figure to look at while tests are increasing is the percentage of positive tests out of that days testing"

I can see why tabloids sell a lot.

Anymore and its a trip to the naughty step

I hope not... it’s only the few who push it. Most people are following it in my area. London and close communities may need stricter controls. Block the M1 /A24/25 before anything else happens.

This is from Spanish FA so if we're 3 weeks behind them puts us into July ? He also stressed:

Three potential restart dates of 29 May, 6/7 June and 28 June were being assessed
Closed-door matches and reduced capacities could be implemented.

or could it be that you have started to take it more seriously but are a tad reluctant to admit it.

Yes he did. But we've been over that one a hundred times.

You still haven't explained the handshake thing, you keep dodging that point, can you put that one to bed for us?

That wasn't literally it though was it, it came across as though you were glad he was ill. I never said you wanted him dead.
