It really is 3rd rate now.

Firstly the press conference to day was spectacular in giving answers that did not answer the actual question asked.

Then the slowly breaking news on a FRIDAY EVENING with no parliament sitting, no sign of a PM and Charlotte telling NHS staff to be accepting of tests, whilst wearing used, not fit for purpose second hand PPE, contrary to guidlines.....it is truly LAUGHABLE, but not funny..........

Claims up to 7,500 died in care homesAs many as 7,500 people are feared to have died after contracting coronavirus in care homes, according to a leading industry body.Care England, which represents independent care firms, said it had collected data which suggested fatalities are far higher than those released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) – who recorded 217 care home deaths from the virus up until April 3.Chief executive Prof Martin Green told the Telegraph: “If we look at some of the death rates since April 1 and compare them with previous years’ rates, we estimate a figure of about 7,500 people may have died as a result of Covid-19.”But he added that “without testing, it was very difficult to give an absolute figure” on care home deaths..When will find out?

What are you finding unfalsifiable? What do you mean by that?
Unfalsifiable is a term used to say that someone is making a statement that can't be proved. For example the people who live at the end of my garden are invisible except to me. Nobody can disprove what I say. Nothing you say can be proved.

How would you have handled this if you were PM?
Remember the four point plan?
1. was Contain.
Did we contain? The answer is no. Do we still contain? The answer is no.

What would you have done differently to have they contained it earlier?

For example it was contained in Hove and in Surrey early on. Also a case in York was contained.

Thousands of people have relatives in care homes that they care dearly about and are paying a fortune for it thanks to your beloved tory w@nkers.

The nasties have cut spending on adult social care since being in power since 2010. Anyone who could introduce a dementia tax is clearly misguided and heartless.

The nasties do allow care homes to make an absolute and disgusting fortune. Why don't they do something about it?

Which forum members are now showing fake empathy for old people? I must admit that wasn't how I interpreted your post though. Many, many people are showing genuine empathy for those in care homes and their families. I mentioned your father because you were, as you should be, upset by his death. Many people are upset by people dying in care homes.

I agree private care homes should have bought PPE but the problem may have been there was none to buy thanks to the nasties.

If you've got a the biggest City in Europe with high population density and no PPE, all the more reason to lockdown sooner than other countries so that it gets into hospitals as little as possible.

The big city/density argument doesn't stack up and density and size/amount of cities would have been taken into account by the scientists. But they still advised that they weren't worried about sports events and it was the leagues/sports themselves which shut down, not the government.

The government wanted it to spread. Encouraging the spread of this was a monumental f up, esp with a City the size of London. It doesn't need any encouragement to spread like wildfire.

Ireland isn't beyond criticism. They didn't close airports and let 5,000 Italians travel after they had cancelled the home rugby match with Italy, just for a bit of tourism money! And that was after our first few cases, the first of which was a girl who had been on a school ski trip to Italy and her friend who she infected when she got home. I live less than half a mile from that school. Bonkers letting those fans travel. The reason it is concentrated around Dublin is because of the airport and the population density.

Encouraging the spread of this is another level of incompetence at best, however. Especially given the population density of London/England.

How do you propose that could possibly be measured? I hope you have been concerned about deaths during the years of unnecessary austerity by your beloved nasties. How many deaths do you think that has caused?


As the lady said today you do it by averaging last few years against next few years.

Trust me the radical left will go crazy when they are told of the cuts and tax rises that will be required to pay for this.

It isn't Lurka,it did try and get it's citizens back to Ireland quickly and looked after everyone who lost their job as well as they could.
I believe Ryanair had training in Dublin for a good few crew at the time and yep they were from N italy,that and the re relaxing of care home visiting after stopping it major mistakes too.

Ireland isn't beyond criticism. They didn't close airports and let 5,000 Italians travel after they had cancelled the home rugby match with Italy, just for a bit of tourism money!

Lurka thats a shameful thing to say, they called the match off, were the first to do so, asked the Italians not to travel..

Every airport was open and is open around the world.........even now

People criticising the current lockdown on the basis of economic damage are the same people who think we should release it and get people back to work. Releasing it early would only cause more spread and death and result in an even longer lockdown, causing even more economic damage.

If you are unhappy about the lockdown, blame the government for not closing airports, for encouraging the spread and for not locking down earlier. The only way a lockdown was avoidable was if you'd done all that and got on top of it early and took it seriously from day 1 like in countries like Korea and Japan, who haven't had a lockdown (but Japan is kicking off again now and might need one soon). Once you are over the peak trajectory you will be in more or less the same position as you were at the start except they will take it seriously from day 1 thereafter.

Oh but look at Sweden - Sweden is a special case naturally set up to do what they did, with social distancing in place more or less 100% of the time. The spread couldn't get out of hand there to the same extent as other countries. No other country could do what they've done, except some of the other Nordics perhaps, without ending up in the same position as the rest of Europe.

Pecker no way calling off a match and allowing 5,000 people from the European epicentre to come over here for no good reason after your first case from North Italy is beyond criticism. Bollócks it's shameful, it's not even close. A primary school kid could tell you that wouldn't be smart.

you have to remember Cheltenham was going ahead, everything was, it was not possible at that stage to close borders, turn planes around..

Don't get me wrong, i see your point and i did not want them coming, but to say for a few quid of tourism money, thats plain wrong and shameful imo..ill leave it at that

Schools/colleges closed 12th March,UK 20th March with some being left open for key workers.

They were fairly on the ball. Honest and transparent as well with the daily briefings,could have done better but overall i'd be v slow to knock them.
Report lurka April 19, 2020 9:56 PM BST
Fair enough about the tourism bit. You are right. I didn't realise they asked them not to travel. But in doing that they recognised that it was a problem and didn't do enough imo. You are allowed to restrict the freedom of movement between EU states on public health grounds.

I think they've done a good job since then alright and a British person would learn more about the whole thing from watching the Irish press conferences instead of their own.
