Worst bit of this for me is the media ignoring all the positives at the moment.

The WHO saying a second wave is now really unlikely. The plummeting figures and good news stories now coming from around Europe. The scientific evidence showing the virus is all but dying out.

Why arent they asking questions about this? Why are they not asking when people can see family again? Is it true that due to the above reasoning that we can get back to normality faster than thought?

No its the same question about cummings. Pathetic

From what I can see the WHO are saying globally we are still in the first wave and if countries reopen too quickly there will be a second wave.

And where are you hearing about these positives if not the media?

It’s been all over the media in the last few days that deaths are drastically down throughout Europe.

The plummeting figures and news stories coming from Europe are due to a completely different approach, how do you not understand that?

The WHO has said the exact opposite to that. It has warned of an immediate second wave if measures are lifted too soon. Ergo, the disease is not dying out naturally.

Actually they said: “Who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)”

Look here look there look at anything else but the issue.

 

[hill83]

Don’t say anything positive, the dickheads on here won’t be happy

Big negative there chap. Be positive.

1 He hasn’t resigned
2 No one cared including you
3 Mr Cummings isn’t even a party member

1 - Neither has Cummings
2 - He visited his parents and went home. He didn't travel almost 600 miles. He didn't go out into the public. He didn't set the rules for the country.
3 - he appears to be the de facto PM. And has brought the party into disrepute. And has cabinet members defending his pathetic lies.


Of course you know all this, but choose to ignore it.

The ONS have reported today that deaths in England and Wales last week were 3800 - that’s over 500 a day still.

Anyone thinking this is over is not paying attention.

Didn’t they say something like a second spike within the first wave... never mind a second wave.

Have you got a link for this please? Sounds great if true but everything I am seeing is the opposite.

Maybe it really was Roger Daltrey and the boys

Shit banter that really.

You're more intelligent than this ridiculous whataboutery. FWIW I wouldn't have an issue with Kinnock being sacked.

If this persists as a news item for another week he will go - he should have resigned anyway - he’s placed his boss in a very difficult position

The anger though is more at the individual than the crime

I quite liked it. I can only imagine the reaction it would get from the likes of coventrian.

The WHO thing about the second wave is reported here, I saw it cited elsewhere but it was in Spanish so the main thing I took away was that the virus goes to the beach and enjoys playing cards with friends


Huge coronavirus breakthrough as WHO claim second wave ‘being increasingly ruled out’

 

[Ian1779]

what about this?

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

The opening shops before seeing People from other households is weird.

Can see Boris pulling that one out the bag to be honest to try and ease the pressure he's under. Other countries are doing it cant see why we cant

May I suggest a drive to Barnard Castle to mull it over?

He's the Brexit Bogeyman, they've been gunning for him from day 1 and now he's been caught with his trousers down and the press smell blood. I'm 50/50 on whether he'll stay or go.

Got to admit I don't really understand the science behind this. Each country that has had issues would have had a patient zero and its spread from there so how will it just die out?

Surely unless you have zero current infections you still have multiple people with a highly contagious virus?

What's worse - boosting finances by reforming the pension system or boosting finances by killing off a load of pensioners?

 

[clint van damme]

So the bloke drove miles away and people are losing their shit but never had an issue with paramedics mingling on a bridge with the public in their hundreds?

I don't get it.

He wrote the rules

I think what she is trying to say there is we now know how to control it and this will prevent later waves being as serious as the initial one. It seems to be being read as “there won’t be a second wave so open up” but in reality seems closer to “there might not be a second wave if we continue to implement containment measures”.

That’s just my reading and there’s not a lot to go on there.

134 deaths is much better if it’s Everything included but over 4000 new positive tests isn’t good at all

Don't fall into the Dom trick!

It could be linked to more testing though. Can’t be arsed to check as I’m sure someone will pipe up on here either way.

Just wish others would Read other sources other than the mainstream media. We're going in the right direction. Yes i know this is an express article but the facts and scientific breakthroughs are there. They just arent being reported enough

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

There is a worldwide pandemic and all I can hear is an echo of right and left wing.

Cummings is a twat and should be sacked. I think there is one maybe two people arguing the opposite. That's it.

I'm surprised people are highlighting that this story isn't going away. Of course it won't if you keep talking about it!

Which is?

It also doesn’t help all it will do is turn this into a brexit battle it has nothing to do with Tusk.

 

[hill83]

Positive Tests. I mean they could test nobody and say zero and we could all skip off to the nearest Wetherspoons and tongue each other.

Of course you are right - but people are up in arms because his actions have effectively ended any kind of sensible behaviours from a big swathe of our population.

That’s the real worry now in terms of what will follow in a couple of weeks.
