Re: Coronavirus update

What utter crap.

I've seen Labour supporters claiming Gordon Brown chaired COBRA during foot and mouth, completely ignoring the fact that was 2001, Brown PM 2007-10.

Four sites, quickly contained.

Labour fans claimed Brown was in charge during the main outbreak in 2001.

Destroyed to bits indeed...

The question is what did the PM do when there was a potential national crisis in 2007? Answer was cut short his holiday immediately to chair COBRA meetings. Same question for now, answer is stayed on holiday and missed 5 of them.

The fact Brown dropped everything when it was an easily contained issue and Johnson didn't when it was an impossible to contain issue isn't an argument in your favour, you've just destroyed your own argument further

Fair play on reading the article that was a rapid response by Labour mobalising their Ministers immediately and get on with Cobra meetings and that was for foot and mouth the Conservatives have been found seriously lacking in their response to the CV crisis.

Difference being, trampie, UK government had been through it before as a result were aware of the issues and consequences. It's always easier to deal effectively a second time round, learning from the past.

So essentially Brown could almost have been forgiven had he stayed on holiday being that the systems were in place to deal with it.

But with a brand new, unprecedented crisis which by your own admission is less easy to effectively deal with, then the PM should have immediately cut short his holiday and come back to chair the COBRA meetings, like Brown did in 2007 despite the fact it was a known and previously managed danger?

For his biggest fan you don't half manage to accidentally make Johnson look like a crap Prime Minister

It just goes to show how inept the Conservatives are that even when they knew that a previously unheard deadly virus was on the loose they were still found wanting.

Re: Coronavirus update

According to the ONS there were around 6,200 COVID 19 related deaths in the week 3-10 April with a sixth of them occurring outside hospitals - add on the figures from previous weeks and I think it's safe to say that the total figure we hear quoted so often on news programmes is probably in the region of 1,500 light of what it really is.
