Coronavirus

Have this govt done anything right or sensible during this pandemic?
Furlough scheme was good, first lockdown (although a couple of weeks late)..............struggling to think of anything else.
They absolutely must use this next lockdown to sort out test, track, isolate. Still wish they'd do something with secondary schools
 
One day of zero cases recorded in Australia.

How many football forums in different countries are asking the same question

3 consecutive zero days here in Melbourne/Victoria.

New infections now running at 1.9 per day (average last 14 days) ie. 0.3 per million or 0.03 per 100,000.

Heavy restrictions still in place (the attack on civil liberties has been criminal) but there is hope for some easing in the next week.

God I feel for your guys over in the UK . . . our hard lockdown was only supposed to go for 4 weeks - it went for 111 days !

The money paid out to businesses and people, whilst not perfect and a few times had to receive pushes in the right direction, has been good. Hence why Sunak got all the positive press for a while.

Well apart from cities in the North going into tier 3 getting 67% and furlough mysteriously only being extended when London had to be locked down. That’s not a good look at all.
 
The Welsh leader on news this morning just looks like he has this so much clearer than Johnson. We are cursed to have an utter buffoon in charge at this time.
 
Ian Blackford just asked if the 80% Furlough scheme would be available for any future lockdowns in Scotland/Wales/NI and the reply from the PM was yes.

I can see that answer being clarified to no in the not too distant future.
 
The numbers look better today, huge caveat that it's just today though

I feel he is starting to look way out of his depth more obviously. He looked so lacking in his press conference, and in addition to keeping the nation waiting for over 2.5 hours, and having already leaked the detail, there was so little actual point to him being there. Indeed, having leaked all the detail (possibly in an attempt to avoid too much scrutiny/questions) he opened himself up to a single line of questioning, which was "why have you u-turned/haven't you fucked everything up?" It is now clear the media hold Whitty and Vallance in a quite different regard, highlighted by the tone and content of the questions.

In comparison to drakeford, sturgeon, and even burnham and other northern politicians he has been found to be seriously lacking. He's being schooled on political campaigning by a premier league footballer.

His only option now is to blame the public, and he's not really going to go for that as for him it'd be suicidal, because everything is based on him being a man of the people bullcrap. Option 2 is humble pie, and that ain't gonna happen.

He doesn't want to be there anymore. He's not liking the level of scrutiny. He thought this'd be an easy gig for him, and his lackeys would carry him through. The lack of substance to the style is becoming apparent.
 
He's always been absolutely shit. It's just that until May inexplicably made him Foreign Secretary, he never held any kind of important national post whatsoever. He was 52 then, not some young upstart, and he was the worst Foreign Secretary ever by general consensus. None of this is new.
 
thats a small positive if correct
The other good thing is that today the amount of patients in hospital and on ventilation both went down. If this keeps up it's an excellent trajectory to be on as we go into lockdown and should shorten our eventual lockdown

Agreed it would be political suicide, but it would be correct, or are you one of the 700 people at that rave probably because Cummins broke lockdown ?
 
Next election is going to be interesting, which out of Labour and Conservative parties is going implode the least, Tories all sharpening their knives ready to stab one another in the back and Labour tearing itself apart
