Originally posted by WTFH View PostIt just means our useless government are bringing in measures now that they should have done in February.
In Feb we needed to be preparing for lockdown -
getting PPE in (using all those local suppliers that were ignored, instead using "friends" via DHSC taking ownership of procurement and using SCCL Limited to buy cheap).
Getting the message right
listening to the WHO and the "experienced countries" and following their advice in full:
Test Test Test, Trace and Isolate, PPE, flatten the curve.
We did NONE of the above - we instead go into lockdown late and spend the entire lockdown chasing our tails on the above . Also trying to chummy up to the other disaster - USA , for trade deals, whilst disguising our failures, by fudging figures and redistributing wealth from the public purse to the tory donors , like Dyson & Mclaren over Penlon, PPE from SCCL's friends instead of local production etc etc.
In March to July 1st - we needed to be preparing to release lockdown, but couldn't because we were chasing our tails - test trace isolate, contact tracing and clear guidance and a roadmap to recovery (like scotland have done - Coronavirus (COVID-19): Scotland’s route map - gov.scot )
So yes, you are totally right. This government have very openly tried to protect the economy by not taking it seriously enough, then actually damaged the economy by not taking it seriously enough.
Lockdown has gone on, and will go on, to some extent far too long, because most people have ZERO confidence in our countries response.
*phew* end rant sorry. I feel better anywayLast edited by Scoobos; 23 July 2020, 11:30.

Please provide a source for your claims that:
1. The UK is currently at the peak in the middle of a pandemic
2. The death rate is the lowest it has been for several years.

Is the average still 10 a week, or are you just trying to re-write the averages to make it seem like you’re fractionally closer to having a point?
Perhaps we need to consider the average number of deaths during the Spanish flu to this one, so that you and DC’s frontmen can say how much better we’re doing now. It’s like nothing has happened.
...or reality doesn’t apply in oPM world.
Although not sure what point you are trying to make I just quoted some facts.
Like we are in the middle of a pandemic and the death rate is the lowest it has been for a good few years and I was wondering if anyone could maybe shed some light on why that could be.
