Certainly a challenging wank. I mean, I managed it, but it kind of ruined the second half for my mate. And my eldest.

Watching the news, it's clear operation 'blame the public' is now in full swing. 

 

Cue images of people stood outside pubs and whatnot. 

 

Little said about the track and trace app, track and trace call centres, testing shortages, herding people back to offices even though their employers aren't arsed.

Of course not, Operation Blame Everyone Else is top of the list in the Tory play book. It worked so well with austerity.

Bang on that, I thought that yesterday listening to Hancock on Marr. 

 

As for the track and trace app, wasn't it supposed to be launched today? 

 

Oh actually on checking, later this week. 

 

 

[Barrington Womble]

The Zoe app has an increase of around 750 I think since yesterday. And the number of people with active symptoms has a massive increase of around 7 or 8 thousand. It feels to me this virus is proper out of control again.

I thought it was funny. Made me LOL. Not quite a LMAO, but I nearly got on the floor for a quick roll. Nearly.

In the middle of all the mix of hysteria, fear, blame, denial, government incompetence, stupidity etc etc....this is for my money absolutely spot on and strikes the middle ground that we desperately need to find.

Yep. The Daily hell have had a daily article near the top of young people out on the ale in places like Newcastle & Leeds. Operation pass the buck is in full flow and unfortunately stupid tory one dimensional minded cunts will lap it up. Its all our fault. I could have told you this on the 16th of March.

Just don't see what purpose that briefing served apart from spreading fear so as to make imposition of restrictions 'not my fault guv' by the polar bear later in week.

He omitted to mention T Cell Immunity. He used result dates of tests, rather than specimen date, which paints a much worse picture. As people pick apart his inaccuracies, it will just erode the public trust more and more. What happened to individual responsibility? It's a fucking complete nanny state at the moment.

 

Protect those that need to be protected. Let everyone else get on with it and build up immunity. We're waiting for a vaccine that might never arrive.

Generally speaking the public (in my opinion) are fucking stupid. They scream they don't want a nanny state but demand to be told what to do when even someone with the slightest bit of common sense would know.

 

And when it comes to health you only have to have functioning eyes to see that a hell of a lot of the public don't appear to give even a little bit of a shit about their own health never mind a strangers.

What Witty said made it all look a bit second wavey.

 

I'm inclined to believe him, despite the reassurances on this forum that there definitely won't be a second wave. At all.

I reckon he's terrified. 

[Section_31]

The term second wave is misleading though, it implies the virus fucked off for a Pot Noodle and a wank and then came back for seconds. Flu is seasonal like that without any interventions, it's just the way it transmits. 

 

This is one wave that's been curtailed by extreme lockdown measures around the world, the elephant in the room though is that when you lift the lockdown measures you get increased transmission. You can't stop a virus this virulent so you only have three choices, lock the door and don't come out until there's a vaccine, carry on regardless, or try and run the country with capable mitigation measures in place to prevent the NHS being swamped. 

 

We've been supposedly following the third pathway just not very well, due to Cummings fucking up the whole solidarity message, the tech contracts being handed out to shoe polish manufacturers called Jeff Grayling and Chris Gove, and the travel industry demanding some kind of summer profits. 

[Stouffer]

Chris Whitty looks a bit like a salamander. 

 

I appreciate this isn't very informative but I don't make the rules.

So, the blue bars are going down, but they're about to follow the red ones?

[Baltar]

Sounds like a load of scaremongering shit to me. I for one do not trust the fucking Tories or their so-called experts. Fuck the lot of them.
