Coronavirus

You were spot on Paul.

Had to happen eventually

"We're being guided by the eugenics"

Very good. But what else do you expect when we're being led by eugencists? They seem to have given up more than a passing nod at the pretence of following scientific advice now. For reference, on 23rd March, the day we went into lockdown, which was far too late, ONS recorded 2017 new cases of Covid19 and deaths from Covid at 149. Yesterday they recorded 2095 new cases and 349 deaths (and acknowledged that both figures under-report: their own infection survey reckons a new infection rate of about 8,000 per day). So we are at a higher rate of both infections and deaths than we were when went into lockdown. It's come down from the peak, but both seem to have flatlined to a roughly constant level for the past couple of weeks. No wonder SAGE are saying we're not ready to ease lockdown. No wonder Chris Whitty looked so uncomfortable when the easing was announced.

"Parody Boris Johnson
@BorisJohnson_MP
We are lifting the lockdown because our 5 tests have now been met. The tests are:
-R rate still high
-track and trace app not working
-highest death toll per million in the world
-people ignoring the lockdown anyway
-need to distract attention from Dom
#Covid19UK"

Fantastic that's all we need the emergence of vampire monkeys. I'd better get pissed tonight to ensure some sleep.

Chimpionees, Chimpionees, ole ole ole!

On reflection, not so sure now. When you consider that for the vast majority of Covid victims any dodgy genes would have been passed on long ago.

Now 3 SAGE scientists have advised against loosening the loose lockdown any further, perhaps we're being led by genocidists.

Our country has changed since 23rd March. We have reduced capacity shopping, social distancing, more working from home, no large gatherings, no pubs etc. The figures may well be the same if not more but everyone has adapted in the majority and things have to start opening

We have reduced capacity shopping, social distancing, more working from home, no large gatherings, no pubs etc.

We have not reduced all those things. But despite your shoddy journalism, the world has changed not just "our" country.

Good to see Swindon reported as being towards the bottom of the R number statistics.

I noticed that the air ambulance was circulating around the Cotswold water park again today. last time that happened someone had died.

keynes park is closed but they have to get the police called out multiple times a day- the roads are now single file due to people parking on one side of them with the car parks closed

Yet more Cummings "news":
Two new (named) witnesses have claimed to have seen Dom wandering the streets of Barnard Castle during his eye exam.

Carole Cadwalladr has retweeted this bit of "investigation" on the cottage Dom stayed in:

Neither seem to be anywhere near a knockout blow, but I found them interesting

[Arriba]

Any folk on here have young kids who can go back to school tomorrow? Are you going to let them go in or not? All the people I know who this applies to are not sending theirs back.

[jayohaitchenn]

It's a no from me.
