French bus driver dies following attack by passengers who refused to wear masks

Sickening.

I feel so sorry for the people who have to enforce this stuff - barstaff, shop staff, bus drivers. People who aren't paid a great deal anyway having to make people do something they don't want to do, it's unfair (and I say that as someone who is pro masks)

So, immunity short lived, virus on the rise in the US, UK likely to allow US travellers into the country ahead of winter, economy in decline, 45,000 (at least) dead - which part of Johnson's plan worked best?

What's untrue factually about what that video says? You can argue about the slant being put on those facts, but I think the chronological events described happened as they say they did.

I was being a bit mischevious Bob.

It's not the video itself it is some of the dross that inevitably becomes attached to such a thread I was commenting.

Had a quick glance at the video itself ( I've seen this stuff so many times now I couldn't face going through it again at the moment ) and I agree it seems factually and chronologically correct.

As you say though it is the slant that is put on it.

And what is left out.

Oh I can remember what was left out Elwood. Boris Johnson, Matt Hancock and Dominic Cummings all contracted the virus by not following their own advice to the letter. It's not "led by donkeys' it's led up the garden path by dishonest cretins'

Do you know how they caught it then?

Re: Coronavirus update

They obviously caught it by socially distancing, not getting basics like haircuts for 3 months (notice all MPs seem to have hair that refuses to grow), by refusing to shake hands with covid sufferers and by refusing to have anyone in their home, and refusing to go to anyone's home.

Cummings was so adept at not catching it, he drove the length of England to demonstrate that, although he could catch it, noone else could get it from him - well noone of any importance anyway.

Johnson was so thankful at being kept alive that he decided it would be fitting to charge NHS staff to park at hospitals again.

Hancock was so pleased at being able to applaud the NHS that he still refuses to talk about proper remuneration for NHS staff.

They caught it by refusing to comply with the medical advice at the time, e.g. do not shake hands with masses of people just for cheap photo ops Mr Johnson... how's that for starters?

Re: Coronavirus update

I see the UK death rate is staying below 100 on a day to day count. That must be good news.
Considering the 'expected' spike from all those people on beaches several weeks ago and people mingling in English pubs there doesn't seem to have been one, and the incubation period is come and gone.

Seems like things may be better than people thought.
