The most reliable figures are the excess deaths. Not sure there's much evidence that countries are hiding deaths in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Serious question Why the fuck compare our stats with other countries? Why? Its patently obvious that every single country measures in a different way. There is no international standard being adhered to. Absolutely pointless comparison Whether we have a flawed system or not surely we should focus on our numbers alone? It’s the trend we should be looking at in our own country. Fuck everyone else. Let them crack on. If our number goes up we need to worry. If it goes down let’s consider what to do. So long as we maintain consistency in our own reporting then we can make our own judgements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of reasons for what's happened here, and they will come out in the wash eventually. Purely drawing comparisons could be counterproductive.

peelyfeet Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Example - how long will it take before they tell us if we have to wear masks in shops or not? What is it that takes the govmt several days to make a statement, they aren't waiting on some results before they tell us, it's because of the processes they have in place IMO.

Same drill as everything else. Leak it to the press a couple of days beforehand to test the water. If it’s happening then just crack on.

I think its because they've got to make sure everyone is on point, make sure the legislation is robust, make sure it's presented in a way that doesn't reduce popularity, make sure it doesn't piss off X industry or X lobby group. Whereas in China, the other extreme it's "you're fucking wearing masks everywhere tomorrow, or your uncle gets kneecapped" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Been in London today for the staff rep meeting, no one has a mask on public transport. There is no way to police it so no one is doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deane koontz Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Would there be many complaining about having to wear masks in shops and such other than the tin foil lot? I don't get the non action here if it makes people less at risk of catching and spreading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
