O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

That's disappointing but not really surprising.

In fact even I, a total layman, predicted most of that (apart from the economic stuff which I didn't get into) in my discussion with Jackal on the other thread.

We’re exactly a week behind other countries because these idiots have been pratting about. A week yesterday 70,000 people were at Cheltenham races. We’re in big trouble.

Wouldn't be surprised if the UK and the USA are the hardest hit, until it takes hold of Africa.
South Korea dealt with it very well, but have recently relaxed restrictions and have seen a cluster of new cases popping up. This could be a very long road.

That could prove to be a seriously obscene decision. Why are these governments not learning from others who are earlier in the process ?

Something to do with nudges and light touches, but I’m sure one of the epidemiological experts on here could enlighten us more.

More news on how impressive the leadership of this crisis is tomorrow.

At least your sharing it. 20k came back over here. Saw BBC interview with some doll,not sure whether she was a Owner or Jockey & from Ireland but would only do an interview if nothing was mentioned about Coronavirus.

I wouldn't blame anybody who has to rely on food banks (and there are a great many) for being envious of those who don't, nor the ever increasing numbers of homeless envious of those who can stay indoors but choose to head for their 2nd home and gallivant about on the hills.

"Boris Johnson is being urged to sack his most senior adviser after it was reported that Dominic Cummings said of the government's deeply controversial herd immunity policy on the coronavirus: "If that means some pensioners die, too bad."
According to the article in today's Sunday Times, Cummings made the comments at the end of February before changing his mind on 12 March after he realised he had "helped set a course for catastrophe.""

‘If that means some pensioners die, too bad’.

You’ve got to admit that’s impressive leadership.
