Roger_Dubuis Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 I think Cummings has told Boris to stay away from the media.His lovable buffoon act isn't what the country needs in a crisis.We used to see more of Boris when he was the Mayor! Quote
stevieb Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 I'm at the stage of barely giving a fuck anymore. No one's give a fuck about lockdown for 2 or 3 weeks. We're still abiding by the rules but from my window... Loads ain't. Nursery open 1st June. Schools open hopefully mid June. Back to normal by the time we kick the season off in league 2. Large gatherings are a thing of the past at the unibol anyway! Quote

Large gatherings are a thing of the past at the unibol Wishful thinking that. I doubt we'll be back to normal until next year. They're shit scared of a 2nd peak in Autumn/winter. They're going to try and keep the R rate below 1 for as long as possible until we get a vaccine. We need to get to around 70% of the population infected or vaccine for it to stop spreading. They think we are at less than 10% now, so another 60 to go. Keeping the r rate just below 1 will mean we move towards the 70% at a very slow rate. To give you an idea, if we had 10,000 new cases every day, (about 80 deaths a day) it would take us 11 years. Can't see them letting us in stadiums for ages. Hope I'm wrong, theres a successful vaccine in USA, worked on 8 out of 8 patients. Will be ready in Jan at the earliest, they said today. Quote
Casino Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 I remain to be convinced about how many have been infected My internet fiver is on it being much higher than is suggested Quote

Which compares to the estimate of 0.4% from ONS. It might not sound it but 745 tested is a decent sized sample but you could argue that testing people at football clubs is not representative. Quote

Similar results in France/Paris. We'll get results from tests all round the world in next few weeks, so should get a better idea then. Quote

Mostly based in UK. couple of years time the narrative will have changed as to why we allowed the economy to die. before one of the plebs start On me at 9am I don’t think we had any choice but to lock down and were too late at the outset. But we should be more out now imo. Edited May 20, 2020 by Escobarp Quote

At the end of April "More than 5,000 Brazilians have lost their lives to the coronavirus – even more people than in China, if its official statistics are to be believed.

Tonge moor green jacket Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 Perhaps he's busy with that other big project that's still ongoing. 6 months or so left! Who knows- but it's certainly his other baby. No doubt when that's all done, he won't have spent enough time on that either. Quote
