    He's doing it wrong. The correct posture for ensuring 2m social distancing is as below:

    No scientific advisors at todays briefing.

    No explanation as to why.

    I think that speaks volumes.

    Clearly they've had enough of experts.

    "Taking back control!" :hehe:



    Meanwhile: start stockpiling. Six months' worth will do.

    Tbh if COVID ****s you over as badly as some are attesting to... 3hr naps are probably not beyond the reals of possibility.

    That said, if he has been ****ed over by covid to that extent... why is he still 'at work'/why did he return to work.

    We know why... a combo of boris' ego... the cabinet combined has an IQ lower than an ikea cabinet... and successive govts concentrating power in the hands of the PM and there being limited measures in place to adress the PM being incapacitated [as demo'd by boris' hospital stay]

    Right... because that is totally due to Corona and not because the changes haven't been decided on yet:p

    You mean like reopening the airports?

    But you'd have to point out the direction with an arrow and instructions. It would never work.

    How the hell is it that a lot of us are on islands and yet we still haven't got the idea of "close stuff off and things might not get worse"? The Kiwis seem to have worked it out, most of Europe doesn't have a chance to, even Murica is an island of sorts (if you take it on aggregate). It shouldn't be this difficult.

    That's because they have Jacinda.

    Rated her since she was Deputy Opposition Leader a few years back, one of those anomalies - a politician with a heart who talks sense.

    Coronavirus contact-tracing app?

    Enter into action with boldness instead...

    Bit coincidental Boris abolished the UK pandemic response committee about the same time as Trump got rid of pandemic experts iirc.

    Interesting how both the Mail and Telegraph reported it.

    Because the problem shifted from "keep it out" to "stop internal transmission" half a year ago. Worrying about imported cases now is very much closing the barn door after the horse has bolted, married, returned, raised several foals, organised them into a small militia, and staged an armed takeover of the rest of the farm.
