Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Brennan]

Aye I bet he's far too busy to answer the questions put towards him for a few minutes longer.

Most of the questions were the same ones about Cummings we've heard one million times. It's clear he isn't going to give a different answer. We're in the middle of a health crisis. He has far more important things to be dealing with.

Whether he is doing so or not is another matter of course.

He has an extra 5-10 minutes to answer people don't be a fanny.

I would like to put myself at greater risk Prime Minister...will you allow me and others to do the same?

I assume Greg Clark has some business interests that it's favourable to have a 1m rather than 2m distancing.

Most of Europe is at less than 2 metres. Most of those nations are coping better than we are.

...I find it really patronising when he says “what the British public wants”.

“What the British public wants is for us to move on from this”. no it isn’t, it’s what Boris wants.

”What the British public wants is for politicians to stop squabbling in public”. No it isn’t, it’s Boris who doesn’t want MPs shouting at him.

A dig about cummings tagged onto every question.

Boris really is a muppet. Seriously why did people vote for him. It's laughable. And we all laughed when America voted in Trump.

which is what the argument will be (and indeed is, right now) - 2m was wrong, the scientists told the ministers 2m, ergo the scientists are to blame

*sigh*

They have to put a deadline somewhere.

Sure but we're never going to get any answers if he can chat wham and waste all this magical alloted time before he goes off for a poo.

That is due to a variety of different reasons. The 2m distance creates less risk than 2m.

 

[roydo]

The reason we are where we are isnt because folk stood 3 foot further away from each other.

oh great, Hunt

I despite Johnson but if he answered that testing question with "because the previous health secretary was a complete and utter waste of oxygen" he'd be mostly right.

 

[Jebus_lives]

Jeremy Hunt, whenever he starts talking, always seems like like a dog that's just heard a knock at the door.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Absolute state of him, can just about strimg a sentance together

 

[tsubaki]

er - did Johnson just say test, track and trace wasn't appropriate earlier?

if so get out the door right now
