#MURDERINGSCUM
Interesting listening to R4 this morning where the consensus from vox-pops was very much the same. Mayors of Bradford & Barnsley much more split - noted that whilst educating the public was important, the lack of data from central government made this more difficult as they couldn’t target specific high risk areas.
Overall, it’s becoming more and more evident that central government’s response has been a key issue in resolving this. Johnson et al have wanted their pictures in the history books for ‘their’ handling of this, when evidence from elsewhere suggests that a decentralised approach has been far more effective
On people movement, last couple of days I’ve had to commute from North London through the centre of the city at rush hour.
Ive been amazed by how quiet the tube is, there will always be isolated incidents of crowding but I’m currently sat in a carriage with one other person in. It’s quite bizarre.

Are they still producing those mobility stats?

15 infections per day being recorded in Prague. That's how they can allow it.Was reading an interesting interview yesterday with one of the miners infected by the virus in Czech. He wasn't particularly complimentary about the processes. His mine had had a number of infections, yet when he developed symptoms the mine doctor wouldn't test him, so he had to travel on public transport back to his home town to see his GP, who in turn had no dedicated (and isolated) testing area, so he was mingling with all the other patients (Czech GPs have been doing very few teleconsultations, so face to face remains the norm). The test results took five days to arrive, during which time he was still expected to go to work. The issue was compounded by the bloke's wife being a nurse, who even after his test came back positive was told to go to work because there's a shortage of nurses.
Meanwhile, in Prague, there was a big garden party on Charles Bridge, with 2,000 people having lunch to celebrate 'goodbye to coronavirus'. Something about pride coming before a fall seems apt.
The Czech's locked down early and reaped the benefits of that, like the Danes did.
The 1,000 seated meal was booked in advance and you can see the spacing out much better from here:
I know you dont want to face up to it, but the Czechs have done the right thing since day one....unlike the Sick Man of Europe, the UK Banana Republic.
The lack of data was because the government weren't providing this. The government weren't providing this because there was serious issues behind the scenes.
It's all well and good having x-amount of testing if the results aren't centralised and analysed as a macro and micro level, which was something that occurred.
That and I suspect the government may have not truly wanted a clearer picture in place until they'd formulated plans to deal with local infection rates.
It sounds like the Stormont assembly is in crisis again. We had actually been getting on top of the virus too.
I suppose 6 months of good work is better than most expected tbf.

They are still exempt when they come here, but we aren’t when we go there.

So you`d be happy to attend that event ???????
Look at the people walking past the big table, not a lot of social distancing going on there, that`s before you even start to look at what`s going on at the table.
If that was in the UK, you`d be jumping up and down, with steam coming out of your ears, screaming your usual diatribe.
You are so selective with your criticism and praise, depending on your own agenda, it`s untrue.
I know it`s been said many times before, but if you despise this country so much, you should just leave.
I`m sure there`ll be plenty of opportunities in Hong Kong, once the people of Hong Kong start leaving to escape life under the great bunch of lads.
