Speabs can be very dangerous and sneaky. I know a guy in the south of england who had one in his attic for years and years and no one knew it was there. lmao

Edit: I couldn't even manage to spell it wrong right! lol

It was the only reason for your posts being so poorly worded and spelled.

Sorry you think I’m a waste of oxygen because I don’t think Churchill was perfect

Re: Coronavirus update

I see the statistician Boris Johnson quoted in PMQs this week has "clarified" his views - taken from the BBC's rolling coverage;-

The UK public is being fed "number theatre" by the government instead of "genuine information", a leading statistician from the University of Cambridge told the BBC on Sunday.

David Spiegelhalter criticised the government's daily briefing, saying "seems to be co-ordinated really much more by a Number 10 communications team" rather than led by experts.

"I just wish the data was being brought together and presented by people who really knew its strengths and limitations and could treat the audience with some respect," he said.

Spiegelhalter wrote an article for the Guardian in April which has been quoted by government ministers when they argue against comparing Britain's high death rate to other nations.

But earlier this week he tweeted to ask ministers to stop citing his article.

He told the BBC's Andrew Marr: “What I was talking about was the comparisons between the bad countries in Europe such as UK, France Italy, Belgium - I was not saying we can’t make any comparisons at all.

“Clearly it is important to note that we as a group are way above Germany, Portugal, Norway, who have low mortality rates.

“What happened in this country was not inevitable," he said.

This just shows not to reduce the lock down to early. The same happened in Korea too that’s why they’ve closed bars and restaurants again.

It doesn’t mean the U.K. didn’t react late and kill a load of people as a result. I don’t understand how some people don’t see this.

How much is a bit? Can you quantify that in terms of numbers of people in hospital with covid-19, numbers of people who should be in hospital with other ailments, and numbers of people being measured by undertakers?

Yeah, it's a case of sending a completely ambiguous, but strongly worded, statement to the nation. It is typically British, in a way.

I can see arguments as people start socialising because they no longer have to stay at home. I have had e-mails from companies since Friday declaring "The lockdown is lifted".

"Only go out for essential trips - including the garden centre and library". It's getting a little bit garbled - a bit like Johnson's answer to a Keir Starmer question on Wednesday. Make sense of this, if you can.

As I think is readily apparent to everybody who has studied the situation, and I think the scientists would confirm, the difficulty in mid-March was that the tracing capacity that we had—it had been useful, as the right hon. and learned Gentleman rightly says, in the containment phase of the epidemic—was no longer useful or relevant, since the transmission from individuals within the UK exceeded our capacity.

It'll be genuinely interesting to see what happens in the countries that have begun to lift their lockdowns. If those that appear to have coped best with the first wave of the virus suffer significant second waves of infections and deaths, then the situation will become a lot clearer and some extremely difficult decisions will need to be made by the authorities.

Two things we know are that a vaccine could either be a long way off or may never arrive at all, and that the human race cannot and will not continue to function as it is currently for an indefinite period of time. Cracks have been appearing since the outset and they seem to be widening on a daily basis now, which is hardly surprising. Difficult times ahead for sure.

Re: Coronavirus update

Please remember that here in Wales we are a devolved nation and therefore our slogan is still Stay Home, Protect The NHS, Save Lives.

The new "Stay Alert" slogan is an English one, not a British one. Our lockdown was extended (with minor adjustments) for three weeks 2 days ago
