I'm very sure numbers are down However The government keep telling us they are beeing led by the experts, I assume when they start talking numbers. These numbers are verified by the experts and handed to Ministers to share etc!
There’s also the issue that the Border Agency is not qualified to perform medical assessments of travellers, screening would require the setup of testing stations at airports, which diverts resources from elsewhere and inevitably leads to the next outrage that forrens are getting tested ahead of people in the UK.
Disgusting that they are prepared to play to the mob in this manner yes
Almost like leadership comes with a responsibility or something
The Executive in NI didn’t want to close the schools as early as they did I think but the public were ahead of them. They started taking their kids out of school regardless.
They aren't damned, that is an exaggeration (even if certain right wingers on here, who were openly happy to ignore the lockdown at the cost of lives a few weeks ago cry about people questioning their performance and throw disturbing accusations around). No one is slamming them for building the nightingale hospitals, they are being quite rightly scrutinized in other areas. As I've said what distrust for them they have built themselves, on the back of the most dishonest election campaign I've ever witnessed they have continued into a humanitarian crisis with the same old scripted crap, misinformation and deliberately obscure figures. If they'd shown humility and been open and honest they would get a lot more patience from the public, but that is just alien to them.
