Government Cover-Up.

[diddlydo]

Disgraceful that the government has decided only to publish weekly updates on the number of coronovirus cases. The public needs to know. Meanwhile, it would appear that Boris is "self-isolating" since the election.

And TTT is still attending " The Tory School of Radicalisation " Which is also very near cloud cuckoo land.

Sorry, can I hear a voice from overseas sticking his oar in as usual? Try leaving UK politics to the current folk residing in the UK.

I think he really yearns to come back ( that’s if he’s ‘really ‘ away lol ) ;0)

//do you go to work? Do you use London tubes or buses? Do you go to crowded supermarkets?//

I've travelled into London twice this week on crowded trains (there are no other varieties from where I live into London). I used the tube and buses when I was there. I've been to watering holes for refreshments. I've also been to the shops twice this week. Once in the car and once by bus. I've noticed that all the hygiene products have been stripped bare and one shop had run out of kharzi rolls. Just what is the matter with people? Don't they keep their hands clean when there is no public health threat? If publishing reports only weekly will avoid people behaving stupidly then I'm all for it. This country needs to get a grip.

Well, well well - the government has now had a change of heart and decided to issue Covid numbers every day, albeit 24 hours adrift. Definitely better than once a week. OK - no need for anyone to say to me "You were right" but I clearly was,.

Yawwnnnnn !!!

[Bobbisox1]

Right?
About what?

///OK - no need for anyone to say to me "You were right" but I clearly was,. ///

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

I'm not sure about posting the numbers affected.....but giving the areas affected would certainly be useful.

[diddlydo]

I was right to say that the government was intending to withhold daily updates on numbers. They clearly got a load of flack from this idea so have done a U-turn. Maybe they could do a U-turn on something else.................

[anneasquith]

Giving weekly updates was a stupid idea. Giving some anxious people more to worry about.

[Bobbisox1]

Oh fgs stop being so conspiratorial, it’s boring

[Bobbisox1]

That was to Diddlydo btw

[diddlydo]

Not half as boring as you Boris-lovers.

bobbi: "I think he really yearns to come back" - he never left, he's a sad boy in his bedroom dreaming of socialism to oppress his mum who has the temerity to provide him the facilities to exist.

[ToraToraTora]

diddly: "I was right .." err no, you have never been right, ever as far as I can tell on here, even your brain dead buddy is right on occasion, I have awarded him BA before, perhaps it's by accident, but you, young lady have never approached being correct.

[diddlydo]

TTT - what you mean is "not correct" according to your right-wing views.

115 now, according to BBC breaking news.

We just have to hope that they don't shut down the louse of hordes before all those grasping old duffers actually catch it and infect each other in the time honoured way. Average age 80+........ shame.

“One in five British workers could end up off work sick at the same time in the event of a major coronavirus outbreak, the Government’s official action plan predicted yesterday. Faced with staff shortages, the police may be instructed to investigate only the most serious crimes and the NHS to treat only the sickest patients, the document stated.”

That is all we need to remember.......plod and the NHS are going to carry on as normal.
