I'm beginning to think our idea of a short peak and what the reality will be are different, flattening the curve means getting and maintaining a plateau position. That feels like where we're at, we could be adding biggish numbers of new infections for a while, but, as we've increased testing we don't know that the previously reported numbers were accurate.

But the idea was never for a short peak? Not according to the graphs they liked to show back at the start

Mate I come from a working class background... grew up on a shitty council estate, lived from week to week (sometimes meal to meal as I found out when I got older) - I chose to get myself some qualifications so that I could follow the career path I wanted to.
I work in an inner city school, with kids that come from the same deprived and working class background. I’m trying to give back to where I came from, to give kids the options to break the cycle if that’s what they want.

I choose Labour because they have policies that can level the playing field. If you actually bothered to spend more than 5 seconds scrutinising some of their ideas to help the working class you’d understand that, but you’d rather virtue signal about a load of bollocks you picked up from Facebook and the Sun which shows you up for the knob you are.

Name just one policy aimed at increasing the minimum wage, properly funding the NHS/Education/Welfare that is anti-working class??

Just one....

The guy’s a fucking idiot and not worth bothering with, anyone who doesn’t fit in with your narrow minded point of view is labelled as middle class.

My kids are bored of doing it. They can’t get their heads around people voting for the party that reduced spending due to austerity and who almost without disagreement those working in the nhs said don’t vote for. And now we are depending on them let’s clap them rather than pay them what their worth and give them equipment they need to do their job and maybe don’t leave their pay increases at 1% for a decade

Sorry, what I mean is what appears to be the general perception in the public, peak sort of implies a shortish period before it starts to decline. What I'm saying is that I don't think the public understands what the flatttened curve means in actual numbers, and if it's what we've got currently then it's dreadful. We'll be at 25k within a week which was the last number Vallance came out with.

However, isn't the DHSC data presented as deaths in hospitals, so presumably the case numbers are just those in hospitals as well?

Yeah I bet all the doctors and nurses are sat around going “can’t wait for the bloke that’s defunded us and laughed at refusing us pay rises to get back to work!”

Genuinely getting to the stage where it’s more embarrassing than any of the nutty Corbyn fans. I give it a week before we’re seeing Boris poems and bad drawings of him.

The FT reports that ministers are expecting the return of their leader on May 7, coinciding with announcements of an easing of lockdown restrictions ahead of the May 8 bank holiday and the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) day

Now the NHS is going to run out of gowns within hours. Said it before but you’d have to be a fucking idiot to vote Tory then go and clap the NHS, they’re the same tossers who were cheering with delight after pay rises were rejected.

For some. Definitely not for others. Why would the NHS workers/doctors etc see it as a massive morale boost to have an idiot who got himself hospitalised for breaking his own government guidelines on preventing putting pressure on the NHS? Actions which undoubtedly will have led to others also flouting them following his example.

Plus in terms of his own health he needs to come back as and when he's fit enough to do so. His recovery should be the only thing making the decision on his return. Otherwise he runs the risk of running himslef down and ending up with something else as his body struggles to cope.

If he turns up the day before announcing the easing of restrictions its not going to do much to dispel the idea that he's not been as ill as has been made out / is avoiding scrutiny / its all a PR exercise.
