Great to see the death figures coming down. What were the new infection rates and on what number of tests was it based?. It's been hovering around the 2600 figure lately and that needs to come down a lot before we start opening the economy further and are able to start contact tracing.

I'm sure you never wanted to laugh at that post LinekersLegs (sorry the link function on my PC doesn't appear to be working properly for some reason)

....but clever.

Permanent partisan politics doesn’t work, we’ve had that with the Corbyn regime. Diplomacy and forensic argument is the way to go. The detail of this situation will now be unpicked, i expect more will come out over the next few days.

Ha Ha Ha.

Mr Forensic.

Itls hard not to look forensic when you're debating with an imbecile.
 
Can't believe the public's 'we don't know what questions they are even though we spend 5 minutes looking at our notes when answering the random questions' questions weren't about Cummings. It's almost like they're hand picked or something.

The advice at the briefings was that in a scenario that both parents were seriously ill, then the authorities needed to be contacted to provide help, if necessary to protect the vulnerable.

Only Cummings can’t have been seriously ill, as he drove 250 miles. So he was more than capable of caring for their child. Irrespective, getting in the car and heading for your 70+ parents home, when the advice at the time was for all 70+ to remain isolated was never justifiable.

I thankfully have not had cornavirus but I’ve had a bad case of flu and if during it hubby had suggested a 3-4 hour drive I would have summoned up what little energy I had to throw something at him before collapsing back in bed! So I am skeptical that Mrs Cummings was all that ill either.

....as often happens this is about partisan politics rather than right and wrong.

If Cummings was a Labour official, Tory sympathises would be labelling his actions a disgrace. They are not doing so because he’s a Conservative.

Over 30,000 people have died and the public has largely obeyed Government advice to try and keep a lid on the pandemic. What Cummings did was wrong. Take party loyalty out of the situation because it’s indefensible.

As somebody who feels no loyalty to any party I fully endorse that Eggs.

I'm normally quite placid and it takes a lot to wind me up LL, but this has got me fuming (even more than I fume over Sigurdsson!)

It is just so bad on so many levels - wasn’t the right action for his own family let alone consideration for anyone who he might have infected on the way or the rules he was so flagrantly flouting.
