Sam Coates, of SKY - who broke the 'R Rate Rising' story - now questions Hancock, on the Daily Briefing - and NAILS it.
His question - to Hancock ... 'You seem to be cherry-picking the figures that you quote' ... 'when Cambridge, today, report that the R Rate is Rising in various regions'. |
By:
He didn't even suggest it would be able to open at all.
|
By:
I wonder if they have baboons!
|
By:
Nor did he explain why a garden centre , supermarket or DIY centre can open and a zoo cannot.
Is it the indoor aspects , food , toilets or something to do with proximity to wild animals ? |
By:
I do like this modern generic term 'community'.
I have never been aware of being part of one . |

because you cant get an elephant in a garden centre
|
By:
Zoos do not really fulfill a need. Some people may like to visit them, but in the grand scheme of things, they are not that important.

This is true. You can get one in a room though. And there is a fooking great, massive one in this one. |

Strewth - Bloke from Muslim News - supposed to be asking a QUESTION.
Gives us a bloody biased SERMON on BAME Talk about insular interests. |
By:
Maybe once the forum geniuses have identified a way to subtract numbers from a monotonically increasing total they can explain it to the scientific and political community at large, and the bellends in our scummedia.

You're normally a balanced poster onlooker, so your OP is a little disappointing. He can't unwind the historic deaths but the rate of new infections is coming down with is obviously positive, along with hospital admissions and ICU bed take up.
Forget Coates and the rest of the Sky News mob, the gall of him accusing someone else of cherry picking ![]() |
By:
They have cherry picked stats to try to give a false impression
They have had to drop the scientists now Maybe trump can make a guest appearance next week in an attempt to give Hancock an air of competence 40,000 that is in reality 65,000... |
By:
Whether Angoose likes it or not there's a big chunk of the scientific community that have an agenda against the government. I would take anything forecasted by them with a huge dollop of salt. When this all shakes down, imv the big conclusion with be SAGE in its current form is a pile of poo.
|
By:
Thank you - Cider - for your opening observation.
I would interpret some of, if not many of, the Stats/Charts as running at a continual, more Plateau, Level - rather than rapidly reducing, though... and I am concerned that complacency could see this all start increasing, all over again. |
By:
The big conclusion is already in
It is that sage is a tiny pile of poo compared to this government |
By:
Ah yes, the old scientific community are biased nonsense.

Like it or not it is political,it is woesome handling of this by a not fit for purpose goverment.
It is a sad circus. |
By:
They had a 'mantra' followed the science, well by and large they have followed SAGE guidance.
|
By:
the numbers are coming down which is good.but sadly are they only coming down because there are less and less vunerable victims? we know its certainly not because what this government have done.ok they have thrown money at folk to stay off work.thats about it.and we all know the piper will have to be paid.guess who will pay the piper!

Cummings derangement syndrome again
![]() Whitty explained why he supported the minor changes in an answer that lasted about 15 minutes yesterday. England having London, being a tiny country for it's population and a massive amount of international travel meant we have suffered badly. I'm afraid China's communist party is ultimately accountable for all the pain this thing has caused worldwide, the WHO being complicit. |

You have nearly every region now with 0.9+ R,and whispers it is gone over 1 in places,maybe going down but odds on to up?,level 4 pandemic warning with a sly hint of trying totwist it to level 3. This is on the verge of lifting restrictions,the ploy of other is to hammer the R rate and that seems to be working.

By:
Has r changed by definition, or merely to usefulness to this corrupt government.
|
By:
I wrote about this before, R is harder to keep down as infections dwindle. Whether it's 0.9 or 1.1 in a specific region is rather moot. Obviously what you need to mitigate against is going anywhere near the natural R.

Government introducing quarantine at a point where it is doing more harm than good
Facemask rules introduced months after they should have been. Lockdown introduced weeks after it should have been All government decisions imposed upon sage |
By:
The goverment and Boris himself said care homes are coming down,so cross that off,maybe homes,likely factories,keepak in Ireland have sizeable outbreaks,i don't know but suspect homes.
The initial pushing of herd policy very likely has the UK where it is now. |
