Good to Hear. :tu:

For those that like pictures, these are the UK [daily] graphs for the last month.

Cases ;

Deaths ;

Over the last week, both appear to have pretty much levelled off.

I'm taking that as a good sign.

Complete lie here from The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-herd-immunity

Utterly bogus, anti-science, dishonest nonsense. I would use stronger language but it would get me banned for rules I am meant to be enforcing :D

Simulating something does not make it policy. Idiotic to suggest it does. I would hope the Government is war-gaming all sorts of scenarios but that doesn't make it policy.

The MOD probably has plans for invasions of France and Ireland, doesn't mean it's policy either.

Re: Coronavirus
 

I watched the PM give his thanks to the NHS:

Coronavirus: Boris Johnson says 'it could have gone either way'

To be honest, I found it moving. He seems to be genuine in his gratitude. Let's hope, that for someone who had built his career on dishonesty, he really does mean what he says and more importantly, changes his policy towards those in this country who are currently making the difference.

Re: Coronavirus
 

There’s plenty of Boris haters out there but I like him.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Its not a question of hate for the vast majority but more a question of trust.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Spot on.

Re: Coronavirus
 

What has he done, that has affected you directly that makes him untrustworthy in your eyes?

What policy, what changes?

Re: Coronavirus
 

Well to start with there's 5 or 6 children ( his Wikipedia page doesn't seem sure https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Johnson) plus 2 terminations via several wive's/partners.

Then there's the Brexit lies...

We could go on. However glad he's better, the alternatives were even worse....

Re: Coronavirus
 

Whether he is or isn’t trustworthy I genuinely hope Labour don’t pin their hopes on demonstrating that and for the public to care. For a sizeable chunk of the voters they need to win back I think they know he’s isn’t trustworthy, but gets things done, like Brexit against an Establishment trying to stop him.

That’s the narrative.

(Last word on it here from me I genuinely thought this was the Starmer thread when I typed this)

Re: Coronavirus
 

Well if he can protect NHS workers (as of tomorrow), give them a significant pay rise, rescue the economy, ignore/get rid of the right wing bigots, ensure we're all tested for Coronavirus, make this a more equal nation, then fair play to him. We await with anticipation, I always was an optimist ;)

Re: Coronavirus
 

Sometimes things happen to us personally or our loved ones that have a profound affect on our outlook/views. Let's hope that this is the case with Johnson.

Anybody's life can change in the blink of an eyelid as he very nearly found out.

Re: Coronavirus
 

And? I don’t see what any of that has to do with his stewardship of the country.

What Brexit lies......

Please go on, because you’ve delivered frig all.

Agreed, such is the politization of this.
