He is done, he can’t survive this.

I will bet everything I own on nothing happening to him.

This will all be part of the game he is playing.

Favourable? You don't think it has? What is the UK doing differently to Spain/Italy/France (being careful to avoid successful countries that minimised the impact of Covid, say Germany)- well they all gave us a two weeks head ups, despite this we did not instigate lock down earlier, nor did we do it as stringently as those countries, and we did not stop flights coming in, we did not track, trace, and isolate cases.
F**king stupid british exceptionilism believing either 1. we wouldn't be affected as badly when videos from Italy were begging us to take it seriously, and we could see the deaths in Wuhan. 2. We seriously didn't care about deaths, with both Boris, and Cummings previous expressing that they (not direct quotes) wished to cull the herd.
Blame the NHS, why? for being financially hamstrung?

For running a pandemic simulation (Operation Cygnus) that we failed miserably in 2016 as it acknowledged we were under resourced, one that the opposition stated why was it still hidden at the start of April when there was 'only' 400 deaths? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...vernment-publish-findings-2016-pandemic-drill
Do you honestly believe Hancock when he said that care homes were protected?

I do but then again I'm stupid.

So for everyone complaining about others going out and going the beach etc.

The prime minister broke his own advice and shook hands with patients, before getting the virus himself.

The chief advisor broke his governments lockdown rules and was stopped for it

One of the chief scientist to the government , one advising the lockdown rules resigned because he was caught breaking lockdown rules.

What do you expect? When the people on charge of all of this are breaking their own rules.

The whole thing is farcical now. A piss poor government struggling with the basic of things

Interesting looking at Sweden’s approach and their number of ICU beds- coincidence?

Just read all that.

I can confirm that jet fuel can melt steel beams.

No but really I did read it, im not sure why, it might as well be in Flemish.

Essentially it's 'early promise, but there's still a very long way to go'.

Lancet paper on hydrixychloroquine. Over 96K patients. Sadly no benefit and if anything damaging. We move on to other hopes. ‘We were unable to confirm a benefit of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine’ ‘increased frequency of ventricular arrhythmias’.
