That announcement from Witty and Valance is a bit grim

In zoom meeting, what did they say?
Cases doubling every 7 to 8 days and could be up to 49,000 A day in October translating to 200 deaths per day in November
Anti vaxxers on my Twitter going in to melt down. Surprised how many people are outing themselves as anti vaxxer, anti 5G believers
I'd say that South Korea having a proliferation of testing facilities who can get results back to you in an hour for a small fee is a bit more than a 'useful tip'.
We should have had something similar up and running months ago instead of feathering the nest of Dido Harding and assorted other Tory cronies for no tangible return.
Exactly and as I say, would take what people are doing well and replicate but comparing us to South Korea is crazy
Ps the Dido/Hancock double act deserves plenty of shit so won’t be defending

That’s true. South Korea doesn’t have a government devoid of intelligence and that’s just for starters.Comparing us to South Korea is idiotic
The thing I don't get is how you can go from giving out vouchers to get people out into restaurants one minute, but then talk about giving out huge fines for leaving the house the next- it seems to be lurching from one extreme to the other with no plan whatsoever
The interesting thing is the 200 deaths per day. I need to review the info and see what they think will be hospital admissions. 50k cases per day is what will grab the headlines
As alluded to on here, it’s ground work for Johnson announcing further restrictions this week
Its not just the extremes...its the dumb inconsistencies. As things stand, from midnight tonight My Mrs. cannot pop down the road to check in on her ma, but I can go a bit further down the same road & get hammered with 5 mates from 5 other households......only until 10pm...covid hour.... which apparently is when the virus wakes up in a bad mood & starts spiking folks drinks.
Saw a bit of the Trafalger Square protest at the weekend on Twitter. Someone giving a speech about how it wasn't covid it was 5G and its all a plan so they can roll out mandatory vaccinations which are really a method of mind control. The crowd were lapping it up.Anti vaxxers on my Twitter going in to melt down. Surprised how many people are outing themselves as anti vaxxer, anti 5G believers
According to the papers the virus is also taking Christmas Day off. Very considerate.Its not just the extremes...its the dumb inconsistencies.

Flat out denials about that. I *think* that's a bollocks story.I'm beyond caring at this point but its being reported that Boris went to Italy last week to celebrate the christening of his new child at some Russian guy's place.. not just him- Tony Blair & others went too, flight plans show it and got 'leaked'.
Yeah, that's what I'd like with workplaces etc, too. I mean, I *think* I understand why masks are pointless if you're in an office with somebody for seven hours, but I'd like them to explain it to me really... especially when I need one for 30 seconds in a shop.According to the papers the virus is also taking Christmas Day off.

IMO the inconsistencies cause huge problems. You have to get people to buy in to the restrictions, there simply isn't the manpower to police them. How can you get people to buy in when the rules don't make sense? If there's a scientific reason you're fine in the pub but not someone's house then lets have it explained properly. Same with the 10pm thing. What they seem to be saying is you can't trust people to stick to the rules when they're pissed, exactly what people were saying when they said pubs could open. But if that's the logic what happens when people start getting pissed early, do we keep moving it back an hour?
I read mortality of hospitalised patients is 10-20% so I’d expect 1-2k hospitalisations based on that. Which is 2-4% of cases. Sounds about right.
People are such cunts, "Not going to stop me carrying on as normal" etc. It's a post truth world now. Facts don't matter to people anymore.

Yeah there's plenty of options!could well be, and tbh I have "Boris twat story fatigue"...
Brexit legitimised it. I mean not really, but you know.Spot on.
2 plus 2 equals 5.
No it doesn't.
That's my opinion I'm entitled to it.
Fucking morons
I do kind of agree with this, however.
If the person had reminded me rather than taking a photo and posting it on social media I would of course have put on my mask then and there. I do apologise for my mistake

If there was an upfront, we can't control it beyond managing levels so the NHS can cope, there'll obviously be plenty of deaths because of this, but this is the best approach for us medium-long term, I'd accept it, if it was well argued. Ditto a short, sharp, drastic lockdown.
As it is, we seem to enjoy sitting in the middle ground, where we do some half-arsed measures that probably don't do anything particularly for either approach, and just defer having to make a decision into the future.
I do kind of agree with this, however.
If nobody said anything to him, happy to accept he did forget. Rules are so on/off anyway, not like he has to get into the habit!

Difference is the government don’t have to spend tens of billions paying your missus if she can’t see her ma.
