:covid_19: đŸ˜· đŸ„ Corona Virus the thread for all your fears ❓

No reason at all, and I would do it in a heart beat. However people would make political capital out of it because we had to buy it in and didnt have our own system ready to go.

It feels a bit like the govt designing their own operating system because they dont want to use Windows

It’s more likely to be jobs for the boys than any perception of cap in hand.

Why pay money to a competent company that could have got something up and running in a short space of time when you can give 10 times the amount to your mate (who runs a software development company) and get some of that back as kick backs

Anyone seen the Sage files? Haven’t looked in much detail, but from high level it looks like they gave the Government some shite preliminary advice.

OK, the quarantine plans are a shambles and should have been in place ages ago but why the f**k do the airlines think they should have been consulted over the plans? If it was up to the airlines I’m pretty sure that they wouldn’t have stopped flights in the first place!!

Just like BA didn’t consult me when they have just withdrawn the dietary requirements meals

The Ayatollah could be faced with a long haul flight with no food provided (assuming all is well)

Their response is bring your own - OK, curry, kippers and durian

And a massive fuck you to Willie Walsh you odious cunt

Yeah BA. Profits more important than lives. Jeeez

Just read the article. BA says it is currently burning through its cash at the rate of ÂŁ1m per hour. So ÂŁ168m every week. Seriously?!

I guess that the management team are still on full pay then.

Ah, so this absolute shit show is all the fault of the scientific advisors, hand picked by Johnson and co. Nothing to do with us guv! One eye on the day of reckoning already, fall guys being set up. This will be their story and I’m sure they will be desperately sticking with it. It’s all they’ve got. Advisors advise, governments decide. Johnson won’t willingly take any responsibility, why change the habit of a lifetime. Accountability is only for successes, not failures. Especially epic failures which result in the deaths of ten’s of thousands of people, and a wrecked economy,and now, three months later the infection rate rising and the likelihood of being back where we started. The shit we are in now is a direct result of decisions made by Johnson in March, April and May. Every decision made flew in the face of everything being done by the rest of the world, most of whom have the epidemic under control. No wonder they have started scrabbling around looking to pass the buck, I bet Johnson, Cummings and co are shitting themselves, they have lost control of this crisis and are making it up as they go along. Beneath contempt, lower than fucking vermin.

I don’t disagree, and I have been vehemently opposed to this Government, however, try and read the reports as a level-headed individual, and don’t take into account the fact that the people running the country are odious cunts.

What about blind men?

All the way through this the government have had advice from scientists, much of it contradictory with differing advice. The government’s job is to weigh up the advice and decide what they will go with. It’s on them. I see Hancock was on his own today, i’m not surprised after the disgraceful decision to ignore Whitty and Vallance’ advice and ease the lockdown measures despite still being at level 4. Whitty spelt out unequivocally that this was ‘a political decision, not based on the science’. Which as we know was made, on the hoof, to distract from the Cummings furore and get him off the front pages. From the word go they have ignored all science followed successfully by the majority of the rest of the world, who are now starting to get their lives back to some semblance of normality, which for us is starting to look further away than ever. A complete shitshow, and any attempt by the government to deflect responsibility on to their advisors for decisions they were solely responsible for will surely be seen for what it is. Weak, dishonest and cowardly.

Well Trump tells us the virus is “mean and nasty”, almost human like qualities, so even if you can’t see it I bet the crafty little bastard will start humming the theme from Jaws as it approaches.
