Is It Now Fruitless

[teacake44]

Having daily briefings,( note I say daily) same questions, same answers, very little to be achieved. The time spent preparing drafts for speeches / correcting/altering and so forth. Are there really enough hours in the day to waste. Would it not be more lucrative for these people to spend their time on ideas / planning of what might work, and might not, what would be a way forward, you get my meaning I'm sure.

The public still need to know what's happening and when, but I'm sure this could be condensed into a briefing every third day, giving more time for the powers that be to work on the main problem. Daily totals for infection / deaths can be given to the media.
Should they feel any new, urgent news need to be given to the public, this can be arranged in no time at all.

KARL,

On the https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
page, there is only the UK and Holland who are unable to give a number of patients recovered. Everyone else in the world can provide it.

That is because our data is poor, and the figures we do supply are miles off the truth.

Everyone knows that, but it doesn’t stop them trotting out the false numbers every 5pm from Downing Street.

Sorry, woofgang, I didn't see your post before posting mine. What you say makes sense.

It's why you don't ventilated some patients who get worse in hospital, too frail to cope with the drugs you would be given, or too weak to wean off, too confused to cooperate with either cpap or weaning. Sometimes death with as much kindness and dignity as possible is the best option

Gromit, how to they know?
