There should be a vote to keep celebrity culture totally irrelevant when all this is said and done. Heads far up their own rears it’s ridiculous.

How many ventilators do we have compared to Germany? How many ventilators per person do we have compared to Italy? If we do better, it's because they will be giving us advice- which thankfully they are.
If you make these statements to reassure yourself, grand- just please don't minimise the risk to others- the social isolation bit with help the NHS massively over the next 3 weeks.

Indeed.
It was a bit hyperbolic tbf.
Where is the outrage from Johnson and Hancock et al about forced labour? What is Johnson doing about those forced into work? They were quick to criticise Khan for reduced service on the underground, brought on because more and more workers were isolating due to symptoms. Which could have been avoided if they were tested, but can't be because there are not enough 'kits' because the Tories dragged their feet for 3 months.
More than 1,000 people have contacted MPs to raise concerns about being told to continue travelling into work despite the government’s plea for them to stay at home.

To be fair i wouldn't say its that significant and i can understand families not giving consent. Im sure most governments work of this premise.
The Tories are planning to 'change the way it is releasing and compiling these figures'. This will mean those that 'would have 'died normally' will be excluded from daily coronavirus deaths. Thereby the death figures will 'decrease' giving the impression that 'they are getting on top of it'. But that will be furthest from the truth.

It's in keeping with the Germans who are doing exactly the same thing.
Families can say not to naming patients, but not to say no to anonymised data, for something that's of a public concern.
It's a mad thing to do, whatever way you slice it. Covering up the scale of the problem isn't going to do anyone any good now

Of course it is stupid.
