Why is this thread all about tory v labour
Surely the crisis is the Uk people v the virus?
The thread has become a waste of time, pertaining to it's title.
If we are being pedantic surely the crisis is humans vs virus?

And perhaps you can be part of the solution - which particular factoid/aspect do you think we should be discussing in the thread that is currently missing?

I always liked the threads original title.
Maybe it should now be reinstated.
 
Neither did I. As soon as it became apparent that herd immunity was on the agenda, the worst was always going to happen to the old, vulnerable and those isolated. Shameful episode in the history of this country. These were the generation that built this country up from the ruins of the second world war and were then treated in such a shoddy way due to ideology. Disgusting treatment from this government.


Another 6,000 covid related care home deaths in the week leading up to 24th April- that's around 1.5% of care home residents dying from covid in the space of a week horrifying. Regardless of what is said if we end up in care your life is downgraded.
Thankfully, Friday VE celebrations will be muted, it would be rather sick of this nation to celebrate their endeavours which many live care now , while leaving them to die like we have.
 
 
It's not Tory vLabour it's about common sense.......why have we the highest death rate in Europe 2nd to only the USA ...
Lack of masks ....lack of basic PPE......

I only posted it the one before you, but maybe have a read Joe.

 


Love this fella's chanel. He's like an american Louis Thereoux, only he hardly talks. He just lets people talk.
This is easily the best thing he's done. As funny as it is, it is equally terrifying.

Just 1 person and you'd mark it off as an anomaly... but this many idiotic people together... o_O

The idea of these 'give me freedom or death' people, especially the assault rifle carrying survivalist militia types, who are preparing their bunkers and reckon they could sit out years at a time waiting for the right moment to strike out at a Government is laughable.
 
From the Guardian. All this feels a bit too soon TBH

Dated 5 May, the document shows that based on infection levels, states will decide on their own about a gradual opening of universities, restaurants, bars, hotels, trade fairs, cosmetic studios, brothels, theatres, fitness studios, cinemas and discos all under certain hygiene and distancing concepts. States will also decide on limiting contact between people, it adds.


It comes as Germany has been more successful than other large European countries in containing the virus’ spread, with 164,807 cases and 6,996 deaths.


Though it is unclear from the document when Germany’s top-flight football league, the Bundesliga, will restart, some states want it to kick off again on 15 May. Two people familiar with the preparations have told Reuters it is probably set to be given the green light to restart then.


The draft document says the start of matches must be preceded by two weeks of quarantine, possibly at a training camp.


In a bid to prevent a second widespread coronavirus outbreak, the federal and state governments agreed in preliminary talks that if the number of new infections rises after restrictions on public life are eased, local restrictions should be reintroduced immediately.


The plan is for this threshold to be set at “more than 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within the last seven days” in districts. If there is a limited outbreak, such as in a nursing home, restrictions might only be applied there, the paper showed.


“If there is a dispersed regional outbreak and infection chains are unclear, general restrictions, such as those in force in Germany before 20 April, must be consistently reintroduced regionally,” the paper says.


This would include restricting travel to and from these regions, it added.
 

Without a shred of irony:coffee:

This seems to be the way throughout Europe... My girlfriend is back at work in her school with the kids of frontline workers. We can have groups of up to 4 with no distancing now. From next week the shops can open. The week after you can visit each others houses. Word is that cafes and restaurants can open in June with a maximum number per Sq. Metre.
