O/T:- Force Majeur

Shockingly me neither. Perhaps the lack of ventilators and PPE for the NHS is Corbyns fault? I'm sure there must be an angle to blame him and not the party that has been in government for the past 10 years.

I believe the NHS's been underfunded for years. I also believe Corbyn is a complete and utter waste of space.

Me too. But Corbyn is not in charge, nor has he ever been so he is completely irrelevant to what is happening now.

Whoever would have been in charge at the start of all this would have made mistakes. I would be a lot more worried if I was a Yank with that dipstick running things.

One decent thing that may well come out of this pandemic is that what politician/PM in future would dare to deny the NHS the funds that they need.

The next Conservative Prime Minister. I would put money on it.

Interesting indeed, but if I've read it correctly you can be tested and get a negative result but then catch the virus on your way home. You could also be tested positive but have passed it on before you got to wherever you get tested. So why test the public if they have to leave home for the test?

What I gleaned from it is that they now believe that the mass testing of the public is a waste of resources and they should stick to testing front line staff.

That's how I read it too but the media have got hold of this testing business as if the public is clamouring for it. It isn't a cure but that doesn't interest the popular press, it's just the latest topic, the plat du jour, and they'll push it till the next dream is conjured up. In a way I feel sorry for Boris and co, they are expected to field questions about diversions like this as if the answer to the epidemic was so simple.
