Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

The simple way is to get anyone with an chronic underlying illness and put them in one place of safety and not let anyone in or out. That'll sort it out.

Of course the last time a particular group were treated like this the places of safety the were called concentration camps, so there might be a little political fallout until they all die natural deaths. But the government had over 4 years to ride out the storm.

Are you really suggesting that isolating sick people (as per your own suggestion) is akin to concentration camps?

Re: Coronavirus update

From Welsh Office Minister David Davies in the Commons last week.

"We have made it clear that Welsh Government Ministers are welcome at Cobra meetings and the ministerial implementation groups, and we have actually asked if we could attend Welsh Government meetings in the same way; thus far we have not had a response.”

Seems Drakeford's protestations Wales et al being ignored may not necessarily have been accurate.

When was the last Cobra meeting out of interest?

Not sure. When was the last ministerial implementation group, when were the last Welsh Government meetings?

Little idea what a Ministerial Implementation Group is though there is a reference here in the UK Government update on how it will manage the response to the virus.

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-government-structures-to-coordinate-response-to-coronavirus

According to that The Prime Minister will continue to chair regular UK COBR meetings to take strategic decisions and review overall progress in the campaign to contain, delay and mitigate coronavirus.

It appears that the last time Cobra met at the pan-UK highest level body at the eye of the epidemic was May 10th.

Probably why Drakeford was making the point and why Davies was so obtuse in the the quote you proudly posted.

northern Ireland where they are already down to 0 daily deaths Vs Wales which has 7 of the top 10 highest risk communities in the UK.
I'm glad he is being cautious

"Proudly" post, eh? That's a bit of an assumption on your part, it's a discussion point.

Now, if Drakeford has refused to liaise with UK government, for example the Welsh Government meetings you'd not mentioned, then we're in the situation that whatever happens in Wales is entirely on Drakeford. That's a dangerous game he's playing if it backfires.

It looks like the 2m rule is about to be scrapped in England and that flies in the face of scientific advice. I think Bojo and his merrie men feel the scientists have outlived their usefulness.

WHO advocate less than 2m.
