Current Affairs Coronavirus Politics Thread

[Catfish Blues]

From what I read it's hardly money that was the problem but a lack of an organised strategy in getting the logistics right. The bottleneck caused in sourcing the equipment has meant we're in this situation not finance.

People should have got the message by now but some haven't or are ignoring it, it's amazing how some just don't watch any news or read online media and others that do still just don't get how important it is to stick rigidly to the guidelines.

You may have confidence that it's unnecessary I don't share that and think another way of making them sit up and take notice is a worthwhile exercise.

A letter / leaflet was, quite rightly, sent to all households in 2009 about swine flu ( from a Labour government ). I can't help up but think that if we had a different party in power, some criticising the sending of a letter now about Coronavirus would be praising the action instead.

Got to laugh, a month ago we were all football managers, telling the professionals how to pick a team and footballers how to play- now we are all politicians.

And scienticians

I wouldn't care who was in government at the moment. At a time when there's a shortage of money to help people and crowdfunding is happening and staff are using their own money to buy PPE and other types of protective gear from DIY stores. Then themoney would have been better spent going around DIY stores and hoovering up all their PPE. A disgraceful waste of £6 million.

Him, by miles. Young is an absolute knob but Hodges' record of being wrong is as long as Mr Tickle's arm.

They're on record with it. How are they even trying to deny it?

Johnson himself went on TV and confirmed it with his "take in on the chin" comments.

I know, its mental. The bit that finished me off though was his claim that people still have this false perception of herd immunity as a policy because the Government told them that they did.

I would be genuinely pleased if Viktor Orban died.

Why Taiwan has become a problem for WHO

Taiwan is effectively locked out of the World Health Organization - and tensions are rising.

The WHO is a corrupt organisation and the interview clearly demonstrated as much. When this is all said and done and the dust has settled, it's time for the west to formerly recognise the great country of Taiwan.

When nurses submit there next pay claim will the Government this regard them as heroes? It is a very short time ago they were on picket lines here in Northern Ireland looking for the money they had already been awarded.

They got a clap and it's a vocation, this will suffice.
