Northern Ireland had it right in closing the schools for a bit, Sinn Fein wanting 4 weeks rather than 2 perhaps a bit excessive but still ahead of what the idiots here are after.

Banana republic. Honestly what are the odds that a group of people in with kleptocrats around the world aren’t kleptocrats themselves? Same as Trump, same as Putin. Just on a smaller, shitter scale.

Oh come on. It’s not like Boston Consulting Group has a history of gifting free “technical support” to the Tories during elections. Do they?
Poi tless just gona spread when they reopen them again.

Yes but spreading from a base of 500 cases is better than a base of 3000

If they're just going to act as super spreaders maybe they shouldn't be open. I'm already not allowed to teach my subject properly whereas the non-practical subjects would barely be affected.
But it will be 1000s of cases in a matter of days, you lot were complaining during lock down now your all complaining because he won't put a lock down in effect, make. Your fucking. Inds up.

Scroll back to when lock down went I to effect and through April and May people were moaning about how the virus only has a minor death rate bla bla now everyones moaning about nothing being done.

I sincerely doubt many, if any, of the people criticising the governments objectively awful mismanagement of the situation, have also attempted to play down the severity of the virus.
People are moaning that not enough is being done, because it isn't. It wasn't before, it isn't now. And when they do get round to doing things, it's shite.

lol, that’s true actually, I forgot all that. I wonder if the Russian troops will be heading back to Italian streets if it keeps getting worse
What can be done then doffently. Please explain as I see every cou try in the world is fucked apart from China coincidentally.
Remember when we were going to have a fraction of the cases Italy had?lol, that’s true actually, I forgot all that. I wonder if the Russian troops will be heading back to Italian streets if it keeps getting worse

Tell you what, if they kept the pubs open I wouldn't have to worry about next door coming back with some mates and keeping me up trying some hopeless karaoke.

How about you start by having a look at the numerous other countries that have had more success dealing with this than we have? The ones who've had less deaths per 1 million of population, the ones who extended an appropriate amount of financial support and didn't miss millions of people out, the ones who had functional testing months before us? That's just a start.
We have been the most generous in support not one other cou try I can think has gave as much aid as our government, on the deaths how many of them cou trys have recorded deaths the same way we have? It's a non starter of a argument.

That's right, our country is doing okay because we record the deaths differently...
Have a look at the excess deaths so far. There are graphs that show it by country. If anything they show it's likely that our deaths and Spain's deaths have likely been under-reported in comparison to other European nations.
Also, it took months to roll out financial support for self employed and lots still missed out altogether, heard somewhere in the region of 3 million people who didn't fit in the correct boxes (that may not be correct, does anyone know?).

the level support the uk government has given has been far below most european countries
you don't half talk some shit
Feel free to name them may as well drop. Proof why you are there, as far as I'm aware Germany were the closest and they have stopped most there support now

The Kurzarbeit (may have spelled that wrong) scheme? I'm pretty sure they extended that from one year to two years.

Our furlough scheme is better than that, I know it's ending, it shouldnt be but still. 60% wage if your business is forced to shit down is cracking, I've worked throughout the whole pandemic from home, for like 5 mo ths I was on 80% wage.

Thats the point, you stop it overwhelming services and give them a chance to regroup.
Delusional.
Politics Isn’t sport mate. It’s OK to criticise when your team fucks up. When you find yourself claiming every other country on earth is lying about deaths and ours are the only honest ones it’s probably time to step back and have a word with yourself.

You mean Germany and it's 24 month Furlough scheme?
Do you actually look up anything you talk about?

If the government didn't balls it up so monumentally at the start of the virus they wouldn't have had to spend so much money. When your pm nearly kills himself by shaking hands with coronavirus patients and proudly boasting about it at that, what chance have you got?

It's more and better support you daft c**t. 24 months and not throwing people into jobless during an outbreak.
You are done

I didn't realise American schools are shut. How bad's it going to get over there if they re-open?
