Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Bruce Wayne]

do you want a second lockdown?

That's inevitable isn't it? We're surely not labouring under the belief that this will be over any time soon? I suspect there will be another lockdown across Europe by late summer/early autumn.

Do you really trust any word that comes from China though?

Let me put it this way.....

It's a pity he, Johnson, Raab, Dorries, Vallance, Whitty, Cummings et al weren't more alert and followed their own advice and guidance; two meter social distancing rule, wash hands regularly, catch it, bin it, kill it etc..Then maybe they wouldn't have caught the virus. This next phase of their experiment - relax 'lockdown' and therefore let the virus rip through the population again to 'achieve' herd immunity is reckless as it was at the start of this.

They certainly see to be lacking in common sense...

"Yesterdays advice from dear leader was clearest yet. All hail Boris. We ask no questions and make no criticism because everything he say is correct and perfect."

That's not what newspapers are for.

In times of National Crisis, and I cannot think of a better description of where we are at the moment, it would be useful if our media were to act in a responsible manner for the benefit of the country. Not to whip up hysteria or score political points and certainly not to undermine advice. If the media say they cannot understand what they are being told, then perhaps they should find out and attempt to help explain things, instead of continually whinging and moaning and glorifying in the demonstration of their own abject stupidity.....

It honestly wouldn’t have been. If we had an effective public health agency there is no reason why we should have had this lockdown, never mind a second one.

Once they decided to lock us down in March, they could have used these two months to set the initial part of one up and have it staffed, trained and ready to go now.

Oh I agree the handling of it all has been shambolic, but I don't think we will avoid a second lockdown no matter what went before.

It really shouldn’t be.

@peteblue going in two footed on the younger generation there, you hate to see those sort of challenges.

And Dave saying how funny he is is a bit like Pepe complaining about another playing being a snide.

CMO last night said not close to a vaccine, Hancock says today possibly by Autumn.

Very dangerous to give people false hope.

One of the principles of shock and awe is to keep a population dazed and confused while you impose your will on them. This is what we're seeing. Confusion is one of the key weapons the tyrant government are using.

If the spike goes up .....you haven't used your commonsense......
Why are schools set to open in stages with uncontrollably toddlers yet the barbers are shut etc .....
Commonsense?

If they are it will be the first Covid virus vaccination ever to work........you can certainly can't take the cock out of Hancock!

Anyone know where to begin with this?

I was already reeling from the lack of a space between the words common and sense, then I was hit with this.
