Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[peteblue]

No problems until Universities opened for business - no issues with pubs and gyms etc up until then.

SHUT THEM DOWN

KEEP THEM SHUT

No. Keep them open but do not allow any students to leave. Let them party and have a great time, but keep them on campus Until Covid has passed us by.....

Again. Why should Devon and Cornwall close down because of Liverpool or Manchester......any kind of logical answer will do.....

This Is now becoming more a problem where parts of the country will point the finger at the north west and say it’s because of you and so on.... we are in a pandemic, whilst I don’t necessary agree with a full lockdown if it’s the right thing to do to protect lives and bring numbers down it will most likely have to be done as a national effort.

Cornwall, Devon, Norfolk etc.

All less than 40 cases per 100,000.

Why should these communities suffer ? I live in London and have no personal problem with a lockdown here as I work from home regardless and have been keeping to myself in the past couple of months. I cannot agree with blanket restrictions across the entire country.

It’s purely political. Burnham is scared to be part of a lockdown on his patch in case he picks up some of the blame. Of course if it’s a National lockdown he can blame Boris and wash his hands....he’s a toad......

But it’s not the right thing to do for the economy. Those that can still work should work to help pay for those that can’t.....

The economy will recover some people may not.

The economy will recover some people may not.

Some people will die if the economy doesn’t recover...it’s a balance....

That’s where the government needs to offer the financial support

and what a track record they have there.

To be fair the furlough scheme has probably saved a lot of livelihoods

Burnham should've been labour leader

Apart from the time he promised shelter for the homeless and ended up selling the area for £500m to a property developer?

 

[kenada_blue]

Yet he wasn’t. Which just goes to show how much the Labour Party thought of him to give it to Corbyn......did the coward even contest it ?......

People were gunning for a fully left party and saw Burnham as a Blairite. He saw that, saw the party as a mess.

Go be Mayor of one of the biggest cities in the country, build a base. Come back when he's got a chance.

This is exactly the issue financial support for those business who also happen employ people who have lives to pay for in these lockdown tiered areas. Lock them down pay up Johnson.

Depends where the money went.

 

[anxiouswarrior]

Fair play to burnham al he is asking for is money for tory lockdown

 

[Tin-Tin]

The Northern leaders all need to stick together on this one.
