Lots more positive tests. Maybe peak a week or more away still

I assume he’s still in recovery.. probably will be for another week at least?

I'm probably being too harsh on him tbf

I'm beginning to think our idea of a short peak and what the reality will be are different, flattening the curve means getting and maintaining a plateau position. That feels like where we're at, we could be adding biggish numbers of new infections for a while, but, as we've increased testing we don't know that the previously reported numbers were accurate.

But the idea was never for a short peak? Not according to the graphs they liked to show back at the start

U.K. Paid $20 Million for New Coronavirus Tests. They Didn’t Work.

Mate I come from a working class background... grew up on a shitty council estate, lived from week to week (sometimes meal to meal as I found out when I got older) - I chose to get myself some qualifications so that I could follow the career path I wanted to.
I work in an inner city school, with kids that come from the same deprived and working class background. I’m trying to give back to where I came from, to give kids the options to break the cycle if that’s what they want.

I choose Labour because they have policies that can level the playing field. If you actually bothered to spend more than 5 seconds scrutinising some of their ideas to help the working class you’d understand that, but you’d rather virtue signal about a load of bollocks you picked up from Facebook and the Sun which shows you up for the knob you are.

Name just one policy aimed at increasing the minimum wage, properly funding the NHS/Education/Welfare that is anti-working class??

Just one....

The guy’s a fucking idiot and not worth bothering with, anyone who doesn’t fit in with your narrow minded point of view is labelled as middle class.

I suspect Jeremy Hunt will be sniffing blood when the time is right after the select committee.

Lay off extended to end of June

You would need a major news network on side along with a major right or centre right newspaper and that’s never happening here. Johnson has had the virus and will take the credit for it going away-it’s the equivalent of Churchill taking a bullet in terms of effect on popularity

But Churchill lost the election after the war.

Is that the best you've got? A,I never voted Brexit,B,I never said about drowning migrants. I basically said what a lot of people think when they see them illegally trying to enter the country which was just shoot the fucking boat. Wtf do you know about working class? Fuck all. Your party is a fucking joke cos it's been hijacked by divs like you.

Never said anything about drowning migrants? What the fuck do you think happens when you shoot a boat?

 

[chiefdave]

Can you not catch it at 8pm on Thursdays?

My kids are bored of doing it. They can’t get their heads around people voting for the party that reduced spending due to austerity and who almost without disagreement those working in the nhs said don’t vote for. And now we are depending on them let’s clap them rather than pay them what their worth and give them equipment they need to do their job and maybe don’t leave their pay increases at 1% for a decade

Sorry, what I mean is what appears to be the general perception in the public, peak sort of implies a shortish period before it starts to decline. What I'm saying is that I don't think the public understands what the flatttened curve means in actual numbers, and if it's what we've got currently then it's dreadful. We'll be at 25k within a week which was the last number Vallance came out with.

SkyBlueDom26, Dominic Raab. Are we sure they aren't the same person?

Where is the PM? Nothing is getting better seemingly from the numbers, could do with a bit of heroic leadership right now.

We need Boris back ASAP! Will lift morale massively once he’s back

However, isn't the DHSC data presented as deaths in hospitals, so presumably the case numbers are just those in hospitals as well?

That was quite perceptive Dim, how did you know i was talking about you?

 

[shmmeee]

Yeah I bet all the doctors and nurses are sat around going “can’t wait for the bloke that’s defunded us and laughed at refusing us pay rises to get back to work!”

Genuinely getting to the stage where it’s more embarrassing than any of the nutty Corbyn fans. I give it a week before we’re seeing Boris poems and bad drawings of him.

he won't be deemed fit enough to return to work until he has the energy to cheer turning down a nurses pay rise.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Ok middle class spoiled brat. Did you enjoy your skiing holidays when you were at school with mummy and daddy whilst the rest of us had to make do with nothing?

You were lucky, there was 115 of us livin in't shoebox in't middle o't road, we used to dream of making do with nothin

I bet he's been on holiday/ in recovery/ in hiding for longer than he's actually been at work since winning the election

The FT reports that ministers are expecting the return of their leader on May 7, coinciding with announcements of an easing of lockdown restrictions ahead of the May 8 bank holiday and the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) day

Taken from the new European website.

Now the NHS is going to run out of gowns within hours. Said it before but you’d have to be a fucking idiot to vote Tory then go and clap the NHS, they’re the same tossers who were cheering with delight after pay rises were rejected.

think you'll find most of them fit that criteria.

New positives in Italy: 355 - very good because out of 65,000 tests done in last 24 hours
Deaths: 575
Recovered:2563
Big falls of those in intensive care

For some. Definitely not for others. Why would the NHS workers/doctors etc see it as a massive morale boost to have an idiot who got himself hospitalised for breaking his own government guidelines on preventing putting pressure on the NHS? Actions which undoubtedly will have led to others also flouting them following his example.

Plus in terms of his own health he needs to come back as and when he's fit enough to do so. His recovery should be the only thing making the decision on his return. Otherwise he runs the risk of running himslef down and ending up with something else as his body struggles to cope.

If he turns up the day before announcing the easing of restrictions its not going to do much to dispel the idea that he's not been as ill as has been made out / is avoiding scrutiny / its all a PR exercise.
