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

This. It seems his argument is that Tier 3 restrictions will not work. Not sure how this sits with Manchester’s very high - and rising - rates

Love this one this morning, Monkey Virus :slight_smile:


What’s the betting that the press go with: “Scruffy Burnham Stokes Civil War”?

Lady Slowlane and I are getting our vitamin D3 from Fortnum & Masons.

It’s ecologically extracted from the eggs of a Sturgeon and the filtered through the digestive system of a Green Lipped Mussel only to be found in The Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. It’s recommended by myself and HM Government.

As long as the northerners stay put in their swamp, we southerners might get away with it

That said one to the neighbours kids has come back from uni for the weekend because they were struggling with being stuck in their rooms

Needless to say we are giving them a wide berth for a week or two

This could go on multiple threads, but I’ll drop it here. Quite an interesting read

The Johnson is going to address the nation at 4 pm.

I’m going for :-

If he does, Keir Starmer will be licking his lips.

So will all the other MPs and scientists and mayors that have been putting the pressure on them to do this.

However both Wales and Norn Ireland have set the precedence


Tbh my daughter called it in June.
You know they will manoeuvre it so nobody can go away for half term.
So not surprised

Perhaps, but I don’t think you appareciate how toxic Keir is as an individual right now. He’s still Mr EU, whatever he says among the general public and he’s hated by the left.

As I think you’ve often said yourself, it is very easy to be in opposition, but it’s a lot more difficult to come up with solutions.

The idea of a circuit breaker is not Keir Starmer’s. Wee Nicky has already pulled this trick north of the border and honestly, I am dubious about its efficacy if there is not a track and trace system at the end of it.

You know enough about programming to know that this shit isn’t hard if you have the right information. Given the debacle around Excel, I don’t have a great deal of confidence that we’re doing anything clever with people’s phone numbers, like linking them to addresses.

It’s simple stuff. You or I could stand up in front of a Select Committee tomorrow and explain that it’s a simple matter of giving each person an ID, linking those IDs and traversing those links when an outbreak is detected.

Why can’t Keir and the “opposition” do that?

Counter with- For no reason in particular :wink:
