Does my head in that people will defend whatever the government does because it’s on their ‘team’

currently watching a programme about Covid on ITV.
An ICU nurse said he's never seen anything like it including the aftermath of terrorist attacks but I'm sure a few experts on here know better.

especially when it's their tax money as well as ours that's been embezzled. Cap doffing fuck wits.

Might have been a good idea, but then I remembered their borders are closed at the moment because their country is not run by fuckwits.

Did you stop working while you studied? I'd barely be able to afford a week off unpaid let alone months!

Worked two and a half days a week doing supply. Dropped my living costs as much as possible, though did initially live off the wife. Marriage broke down the first time halfway through my course so moved in with parents. Saying it now obviously not as easy as I make it sound

Great to see the politicians arguing with each other about this first round of lockdowns whilst the virus increases throughout the land leading to more deaths.
Does anyone know the rationality of why Coventry has not gone into Tier 2 whilst other local authorities in the area with lower rates of infection have?

Not hearing much on that.

All seems a bit random. The government seems incapable of taking charge if they're telling places they should be in certain tiers but having local authorities reject it. Add in there's seemingly no threshold for going in to certain tiers and it all seems a bit like guesswork which yet again makes it harder to get the public onside.

We’ve had a few confirmed cases but I’m certain loads more have just been asymptomatic.

Constantly fiddling with the guidance to keep numbers being sent home as low as possible.
Will go to shit though when we have teacher directly spreading to pupil or vice versa.

Has CCC been offered the chance to go into Tier 2 but choose to support the local economy rather then the well being of its residents?
Last I read they feared we were heading that way
I never once said they made the virus, I said they lied about it and who didn't do there proper research and that caused it to spread everywhere rather than locking down the country way before they did had they simply done there job.
Feel free to go back and check.

Hi Kieran. Even though you don't seem to be able to take on any of the information given to you I thought I'd try again...
We are currently...
8th in the world total deaths
4th in the world total of new cases for today
12th in the world total of deaths per 1 million of population
5th in the world total number of deaths
(Please bear in mind excess deaths show OUR deaths have likely been under-reported)
We are the 21st most populated country and the 14th most densely populated.
When are you going to check how "well" the government are doing in comparison with other countries?

That's madness. 4 As at A level should be enough to indicate suitable intelligence to teach. Although if you are that smart, how come you follow City

You keep saying how ‘convenient’ it all is. Tells me you think they deliberately started it

I initially try to eat it Godfather style but then give up and just cram it all in with sauce flying
They ain't doing well though
, Italy today 8k cases, netherlands 8k cases Germany like 5k last time. I checked.I don't thi k it was deliberately started, I just belive China lied and tried to cover up how much shit they were in and who had reports of human to human transmission in like October and they went and looked and reported it wasn't true now look, I'm not blaming them alone there's 1000s of contributing things that could of been done different including flights from certain areas earlier,

National basic income in anything but name for a period of 6 months. There has to be a way of getting through this. if They can afford to pay £2500/ month for some for 6 Months then they need to be creative now As well.

Speaking of which Italian friend of mine, who lives in London, is heading back to Italy to stay with her parents. Reckons when she gets there she will be tested and get the results within 30 minutes, with a negative test meaning no quarantine.
If that's possible in Italy why was Johnson only a few days ago talking about the £100bn cost of Operation Moonshot? And why has it now been seemingly abandoned?
Jamesimus

Yep, my friend went over recently. Test with result in 30 mins from getting off the plane.

They didn’t
They are behind us, Italy only had 800 cases 13 days ago, d there's a guy on n here crediting the goverment of Italy for making sure everyone wears mask giving praise ect and that's worked out well come 2 weeks later.
So you reckon they only had 80k cases yea? Ight pal.
As for who this wokr out well
