Hopefully should do, if you look at all the results from Tuesdays they have always been higher as it lags a bit at the weekend, still looks like peak in the next week or so

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.

Yes that was literally it!

If you thought it came across that I was glad he is ill then you read what wasn't there.

We're at least a week away from the peak it seems so unfortunately and very sadly it's not a shock to see high numbers.

Yes, they all controlled the outbreak effectively at the outset. Not a chance we're anywhere near where they are.

Pretty simple really. I could die today and they report it on Thursday, it goes into Thursday's figures rather than today's.

No he didn’t say it all (I assume it’s the this morning interview) he didn’t say operation last breath (would have been a pretty funny one liner but hey) and he did t shake hands it was just a Pr visit and statement - one not dodged it and showed other leaders doing the same thing

At the very beginning the estimate by Ferguson was around 20,000 deaths

Yep interesting figures on this from earlier in the thread below.

The key bit:

"This is important.

In the end the numbers must match, so the daily counts we get at 14:00 will miss the peak, which will come earlier than it appears because we will go on recording many deaths in hospitals even when the rates are declining fast"

He is reported to have said 'Operation Last Gasp' and did not deny it when asked.

And you think that's a funny one liner? After all your preaching about dignity over the last few days? You fucking hypocrite.

You keep saying he didn't shake hands, we know that's what you think, but what you keep ignoring is why did he say on national television that he did?

He made a throwaway remark regarding shaking hands - big deal,

Operation last gasp was bollocks as 59 of the 60 people on the call have not said he said it and if he did it would have been funny

Why do you keep saying he never shook hands? He said himself he did. Or do you think it's another of his lies?

You're just talking shit now. It's quite funny.

Apparently I'm an awful c**t for saying Boris should take it on the chin but you're fine to say Operation Last Gasp is funny, while thousands of people die, many because they can't get a ventilator.

What the hell is wrong with you?

You are not right in the head.

Exactly which dom is why you see less deaths at the weekend as it seems that the people reporting deaths at the trusts don't do as much of a weekend

TBF the lag in data might mean we're actually already at the peak, who knows. We won't know we've gone over the peak until a few days after it.

You're right he didn't. He was reported to have said, on a call to manufacturers, that efforts to source ventilators should be called operation last gasp.

He was given the chance to clear it up at the following days press conference but when asked if he thought that was appropriate but instead of denying it he gave a load of waffle.
I think what I want and what all businesses want, to explain what I was saying, is an end to suffering. And that is why they are working incredibly hard in the next few weeks. And we really only have a few weeks to build literally thousands of ventilators this country will need. The British industry, manufacturers, are responding to this challenge with incredible energy and determination.

I think the cases are a better indication. Deaths have a bigger lag and people can die in 48 hours or 12 days.

It's interesting to see someone who was calling everyone a c**t last night for daring to say a bad word about Johnson while he's ill also find it funny to take the piss out of people dying from lack of ventilators. But then again that's classic Tory ain't it, protect their own and fuck the peasants.

It's pretty incredible, I actually can't believe it. He called me every name under the sun yesterday for having the temerity to insult his precious overlord, yet he thinks it's funny to laugh at thousands of people dying?

Seriously.

I guess we all now know that he's either on the windup or is not right in the head.

to be fair to Grendel he didn't say he found thousands of people dying funny in the same way that yesterday neither PVA or anyone else said they wished harm on Johnson.

I know it's an emotive subject and these are tense times but it doesn't do anyone any favours to try and interpret innocuous comments as malicious or to read an intent into them that isn't there.

Might be helpful if we all reigned it in a notch.

Right, so just to make sure I've got this correct.

Take it on the chin = disgusting, horribly out of order, got to be a massive c**t to say that

Operation Last Gasp = gallows humour, bloody hilarious, great banter


You've absolutely lost the plot, probably best to log off for a few days.
