Yet every newspaper is running with it, in the middle of a pandemic. Mind you, you thought Coronavirus was 'just a bit of flu' and a lot of fuss over nothing....

No you’re just boring, there are more interesting people on here to converse with

but just to shut You up. I’ll read it and respond.

Quote:

I stated -

"Self isolating doesn't mean not having contact with any other household, it means not having contact with anyone. Surely the best bet would be isolating as much as possible from the wife in the same house and hoping that the virus didn't hit him bad, not travelling 250 miles and potentially spreading it in a garage and to the other household. With the position he holds, I'm sure some emergency care could have been arranged if he did get the virus bad."

In reply to -

"They were still self-isolating, in that they didn't have contact with any other household. That is the underlying criteria."

You stated -

"That’s just plain wrong. We’ve been at this over two months now."

You stated the above but didn't quote the full post which explained the context of the self isolating issue.

To help you with the above. I stated -

"Surely the best bet would be isolating as much as possible from the wife in the same house"

Which answers the quote which you missed the important bit out and just put this.

"Self isolating doesn't mean not having contact with any other household, it means not having contact with anyone."

I then stated -

"Whats wrong about it?"

You stated -

"Self isolation within a family Unit is perfectly correct."

Which is what I stated originally if you had bothered to either read or quote correctly.

I stated -

"In the context it was written it was quite clear what was written."

Which I've explained above.

You then stated -

"What was written."

I could go on but I'm sure you understand anyway. You clearly knew you were in the wrong so just started acting funny for the sake of it.

Actually, no I just read it, several times, and had Just glazed over every time I got to the end.

In fact I’m going to read this to my kids At bedtime, nailed on for a peaceful night.

Of course they are, sensationalism is what newspapers do, esp as there is nothing but boredom about the "pandemic".

Its an immense amount of fuss and paranoia, again mostly media fueled.

Well let's just make this even easier for your kids. Daddy made a fool of himself by not reading and posting a full quote. Daddy then tried to act clever to get around being wrong. The end.

If you're not willing to enter a civilised debate, then don't start one at all.

I didn’t say it was a “bit” of flu, I said was “a” flu.

But then early on you dismissed the deaths of the elderly as business as usual?

And if the network to give you peace of mind is 250 miles away, so be it. I’d do it.

I'm sure you would. But I'm guessing you're not the policy adviser who helped form the rules that said you can't do this...although to avoid any confusion, they were amended two weeks after Cummings' trip to Durham.
And I'm sure someone of Cummings' standing and contacts would have no issues in warming up his local London support network, paid and unpaid, to come to his family's aid if required.

And you know this as fact? Because I would have thought the CMO and CSA were the guys running this show?

You're non the wiser about what? I stated what self isolation is and you told me I was wrong. I wasn't wrong, you just didn't read and quote the full quote properly.

What problem do you have with this?

"Self isolating doesn't mean not having contact with any other household, it means not having contact with anyone.

Just an advisor, and not medical or scientific, I wouldn’t count him as “essential”

Know her do you? Intimate with the Cummings friends are you?

I fail to see the relevance of whether or not Dominic Cummings is a key worker.

This is fundamentally incorrect.

If you are self isolating at home, and there are other family members, you will have contact with them, direct or indirect.

Well he was in the house and car, what difference does it make, he was still only with her and the kid.

Quote:

Did he stop?

Quote:

He was in a separate house

Quote:

Irrelevant

Happy now.?

Verging on the libellous and definitely vexatious.

No because you're not understanding. I've already told you that what I had written is correct in the full context of the post. You keep splitting it down for some reason unbeknown to anyone.

It would only be incorrect if I hadn't of included that he stay at home were is wife was. But I did include it.

What difference does it make? How is he fueling the car, what if he needed breakdown services or emergency services? Where did the child go? If you can't see why it was wrong then you've totally gone through the past 8 or so weeks not understanding what the simple message has been.
