Brilliant to have boris back and great news that we’ve past the peak and will have the exit strategy known by next week!

He thinks we haven't done too badly. He's round the fucking twist.

Good job Dom.
They'd be the Gimp variety.

This explains a little bit about how they did it

The multi millionaire 7-8 year old just reviewing toys is the most bullshit thing I've ever seen

When the kids were younger (5 or so years ago now) it was watching kids open kinder eggs and the like. 10mil+ views

Mr starmer seems very keen to get an exit strategy and get the economy moving again more then Mr Johnson

 

[chiefdave]

Conservatives didn't seem so concerned about misleading information being online during the election campaign. In fact I seem to recall it was them creating it.

MPs expressed frustration at a lack of answers from social media firms when they grilled them this morning about misinformation spreading online during the pandemic.

The Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) Sub-committee heard from representatives of Twitter, Facebook and Google about what they were doing to tackle misleading and harmful content on their platforms.

Tbh I've got no problem whatsoever in hearing the plan... As long as it isn't rushed. Just hoping he isn't leaving it to next week so he can surprise us with freedom!

Good cop bad cop routine. To disguise that they’re two cheeks of the same arse.

Must be a focus group thing....

Didn't see todays update but after weeks of being told masks are pointless and all the other countries where mask wearing is occurring wasting their time they're now talking about bringing it in here?

I am baffled by that!

Your new god wants us to reopen quicker than Boris does.....

My new god.... do you even read people’s posts?

He's just keen to divert ant talk of mismanagment of the situation away from his beloved Boris!

Don't tell Dom

No. They say wear them if you are sick or in contact with those who are sick. Which would apply to people post lockdown.

New Zealand!

South Korea have been phenomenal. Their tech trace and track (together with other measures) has helped them keep a lid on it (to date)

New Zealand have done great but not really comparable. 4m population and if you’ve ever been to South Island you can drive for an hour and not see another car on the road ! Also not really an international hub compared to major European/Asian countries so far easier to control/quarantine incoming travellers etc.

What I can’t get my head around is that Germany appeared to get it under control, started lockdown release and then it sounds like spread picked up again quite quickly. How come that’s happened there and not SK so far ? SK must surely be implementing measures over and above what Europe is taking ? (Especially as they are operating without full lockdown).

Im assuming Germany don’t have the invasive contract tracking tech SK do? They tend to be a lot hotter on data protection. Birthing the Stazi will do that to a country.

But If population density is a factor the why have Hong Kong done so well?
Highly populous country (administrative region) people living on top of each other but locked down harsh and early and very few deaths.

Id like to see correlation with authoritarian societies if such a measure exists. Like countries where people follow rules easily or are forced to.

And I'd be intersted to see something similar regarding compulsory mask wearing.
There are so many variables and methods of collecting data I really take my hat off to anyone who can give a coherent picture of all this.
