What is a joke is your belief that Boris Johnson has deliberately set out to murder his own population, while giving an absolute free pass to the real perpetrators.

I see that more incriminating evidence of China hiding and lying about the virus is coming to the fore. Any comment on the fact that this virus came from China and that they continue to deliberately hide and destroy evidence....

Shameful really.....

You're turning out to be a gibbering idiot. WTF are you talking about now? It's like seeing some basket case staggering about dressed in a bin liner and screaming about aliens.
 
I don't get the obsession with the stay at home slogan.

It's not even accurate right now. People dont stay at home. They are out all the time. And going out for food and exercise has always been fine anyway.

I could understand it if the vast majority of the population were still following the rules, but they simply arent. So I dont get the anger at changing the messaging. If people are going to continue to go out regularly then making sure they do so safely is going to be key.

Without doubt we have screwed up. Cabinet, Civil Service, NHS, PHE, CMO, CSA, the lot of them...from PPE to sending old folk back to the care homes to reinfect others, it hasn’t shown up the U.K. in a good light. But we are where we are and how we come out at the end is what counts. This disease and it’s effects have either been grossly underrated, by government and most of us on here, or grossly overrated, by Ferguson and the wild eyed media. We need to calm down a bit, stop trying to score political points, get the media and its outlets to behave a bit more responsibly, stop this ‘murderer’ nonsense and use what we have now learnt to deal with this virus. It’s worth remembering that no one, not even Germany, truly understood what was happening. The world knows a little bit more now, so we shall have to see how it goes......

While I agree with some of that, I also think the 'we had no idea what the impact of a pandemic was' or 'we had no idea what this meant'.

You might not have, many people might not have; but there are lots of people that do - people plan and prepare for it - the Government should've realised to what extent they needed to ask when trusts were telling them they didn't have necessary PPE in January...instead they were told 'don't worry, we've got what we need, you will be given what you need and central purchasing will do the rest'.

I also particularly liked your 'the government and most of us have underestimated this' vs 'scientists and wild eyed media'. Lovely subtle blame shifting while attempting to bring people on side - you could be in the cabinet.
