Corona Virus Treatment

Can't anyway - we shall hear more on Thursday. Even if shops here are given the green light - I won't be queueing. I didn't queue before the lock down - nothing has changed for me in this respect.

 

Cummings had an isight into the rules of the lockdown that the public were not told, it appears.
If he did nothing wrong then certainly the rest of us were not told the full rules, I watched the briefings every afternoon and the message was you could only travel to work if you were a key worker and go to buy food.

I cannot remember anyone telling us about exceptional cases, it might well have been in there but who got a copy of the fine print.

He might only be an employee, but that's putting it simply, he is an employee who helped write the rules.

I really do wonder, if this individual is so important to Boris what the hell do we need Boris for if he is pulling his strings all the time behind the scenes.

Boris has been pretty nonexistent for weeks, Ok so he got the virus, wonder where he picked that up from???
But he still seems to be dodging most of the issues now.

I never really liked Boris, but he did go up in my estimation for a while, he's now gone back to being that idiot that just ducks and dives when the going gets tough.

Hancock appears to be doing Boris's job as far as I can see.

 

Hancock has put up with all the flak since Boris went off sick.
I really admire the bloke and he was there again tonight trying to defend the actions of Cummings.
Where is Boris??????
Cummings is his mate.

 

I agree, the media are not on the side of right, just on the side of coming up with a good story at any expense. But then they always are.

The Brexit thing, I dont know, but if Boris was really in charge and running things he'd sort it out.
Boris is flaky , he waffles and blusters and is, on the rare occasions we see him, not convincing.

What you are actually saying is Cummings is in charge?
Not just an advisor, but actually in charge and running the country?

Well maybe Boris does need him really badly then.

 

I still think he suffering from his near death experience with a Covid and proberbly needs Dom more than ever now.

 

I'm very slow to react to stuff people put on the internet - but this one did raise an eyebrow - from the Frontpage web site if anyone is interested to read the full article:

The UK should never have been in lockdown.

All decisions made after 24 March 2020 have been about maintaining the myth that lockdown was necessary, solely to cover the backs of those who created it. The evidence is right there in our faces: enormous emergency hospitals opened to great applause, then quietly mothballed because they were never needed. You may try and argue that empty hospitals are a good thing, but if there was so much extra capacity, why did the British NHS send elderly patients with COVID-19 back to care homes and cancel all cancer and cardiac treatments?

As we "speak" here, yet another Zombie Hospital is being built for patients that don’t exist for a threat that never was. A team of 100 builders are working full-time to create 120 beds in a hospital that will not have its own staff, in a part of the country with the fewest cases of coronavirus. I went to visit the build-site to see for myself.

 

Anybody else heard the rumour that if Cummings goes, he'll be replaced with Nigel Farage?

 

Sorry @JWK, but I don't like or agree with having the Spanish flu held up as an example of what could happen now. At least not in developed countries. I know that is what the media keeps talking about but they are all whores for the next sensational story.

Let's face it, we're a heck of a lot more hygienic than a hundred years ago. They had outdoor loos with no place to wash your hands. Weekly bathing wasn't considered unusual. People weren't cleaning their homes like they are now either. I remember my dad telling me that you could tell which sock went of which foot by the second day. He was one of 9 children and no automatic washer. Not at all near the way things are these day!

I just can't connect the two pandemics other than the fact that the human body is efficient on passing around viruses and germs. And lots of hand washing and face masks have helped plenty when taken seriously.
