:covid_19: 😷 šŸ„ Corona Virus the thread for all your fears ā“

From near where I’m from I would guess. Julian Lewis is a fucking prick.

He’s just had the whip removed after ambushing Grayling, standing against him at the last minute and getting the job as chairman of the intelligence and security committee. Johnson thought he had stitched it up for Grayling to be ushered in as chairman as he could be relied upon not to rock the boat regarding the long awaited report into Russian interference in UK political affairs. Tonight Downing Street said Lewis had been kicked out of the parliamentary party accusing him of ā€œduplicitous behaviourā€. Coming from the shower in Downing Street, accusing someone else of duplicitous behaviour is absolutely mind boggling. They really don’t have a shred of self awareness, arrogance and entltlement personified.

I have a lot more respect for Lewis if he tried to stop that fucking retard Grayling getting a new job

He is in a seat that might just re-elect him as an independent

Hilarious. Is there anything that Grayling can’t fuck up?

Apparently it’s a ā€œgroupā€ called Keep Britain Free.

:thinking::unamused:

I initially thought it might be Keep Britain Fucked, but there you go.

I know the rumour is it was Dominic Cummings that had the whip withdrawn from Lewis but am I the only one thinking it’s like a little kid stamping his foot and having a tantrum cos he didn’t get his own way? Surely it was their own fault for not making sure they had enough votes for the idiot grayling?

Boom

Not sure how it was prohibited by law - the PM cant appoint the chair, but he can have a preferred option - not even sure in falls into unethical either

That said, anything will Grayling at the helm is potentially dangerous

Yes, more a case of trying to get around the law than actually breaking it. The choice of chair is down to the committee members and seeking to influence that choice is clearly considered improper.

This could be interesting

"Yesterday two Oxford University statisticians published an alarming article which said there was a serious flaw in the way Public Health England has been recording coronavirus deaths: they say that PHE has been recording the deaths of anyone who has previously tested positive for coronavirus as a coronavirus death.

Yoon K Loke and Carl Heneghan wrote:

By this PHE definition, no one with Covid in England is allowed to ever recover from their illness. A patient who has tested positive, but successfully treated and discharged from hospital, will still be counted as a Covid death even if they had a heart attack or were run over by a bus three months later.

If this is correct, it may mean that the number of coronavirus deaths in England has been significantly overestimated."

I think PHE is finished - they have been inept from start to finish

I had heard anecdotally that anyone with a positive test who died was recorded (even if you got run over by a bus and were asymptomatic) because it was a reportable disease and had to go on the death certificate, but recording deaths when the patient had recovered from the virus and then subsequently died???

Lets hope MLT doesn’t see this, he’ll go ballistic on Twitter…

Mini-clusters now make the news. Images of Hazmat suits etc.
A few weddings.
Kids summer camp
A new coal mine.
Apart from the mine nearly all caused by things ā€œpeople didn’t want to missā€.
Each cluster so far is around 20-30 people.
Even had 1 dipshit get in a plane out of here for holiday.
180 people get locked into quarantine in Spain as a result.
Selfish moron.
Calls here to be able to sue idiots
