Last Saturdays numbers were for bank holiday Friday. So effectively weekend numbers. Can’t compare them really.

Good point.

So the government that delivered a plague in care homes are now telling me that we owe it to the children to get them back to school. Yeah okay.

You literally have the mindset of expecting everyone to stay in their houses forever till we find a vaccine

No I literally don't you ignoramus. You'll be the one speculating why the number of infections has gone back up in a week or two

Well it does because he’s moaning about people going outside or shopping, who’s to say they aren’t social distancing?

Not quite accurate though. If Trump had have done it in real life he’d have accidentally given himself a Hitler moustache.

I see there’s a petition to get Piers Morgan sacked from GMB. The gammon heads darling is now public enemy No.1. What a bunch of snowflakes.

It's quite scary to be honest. As NW pointed out earlier politics has now become so.partisan it's frightening and people aren't bothered about seeing politicians held to account.

How do you know it’s fucked, we’re on the way down in terms of trends why do you always look for the bad in everything

We're going down (very slowly) because of the restrictions that were in place. They've relaxed them at a point where the R rate is literally just on the cusp of being acceptable. So if you remove those restrictions that's got it down what do you think's going to happen? You must've seen the busy tube and buses from Wednesday and that is down to the message to go back to work. Not the people on them because a lot of people have no other choice but to use public transport in London. And now they're bringing back in the increased congestion charges etc it's only going to get worse.

I'm willing to predict come the end of the month cases, deaths and R will all be heading in the wrong direction and it'll be traced back to easing of lockdown.

But due to the ideology of the Tories and their obsession with the economy they'll dither AGAIN over putting the restrictions back in place and we'll end up somewhere close to where we were.

Of course the cases are increasing as we are doing more testing, if you actually stop and think for a second you’ll realise the more tests done means the more cases we pick up

Which is surely an argument against relaxing it all?

"OMG you want that to happen to score internet points and because you loooooove labour and corbyn"

That will be seen within the next couple of weeks.

Williamson seems hell bent on getting schools open whether or not it makes any sense, seemingly because other countries are doing it. Not willing to play that game Gavin

Last I saw was the Mail reporting that evil unions are denying us the chance to be heroes.

Great opportunity for the unions to get life changing changes to workloads and sustainable jobs in the teaching profession

Its always good to see a man that was sacked from his last ministerial post for sheer, unfathomable incompetence being responsible for what it will probably be the biggest test of whether we get through this virus without killing half a million people.

The unions are just doing their job. Shame that the government isn’t.

It's almost like the right wing press and their puppet masters are grateful for a free swipe

Good he’s a fucking prick, never has anything positive to say just negative all the time, like some on here....

Although you’re right I’m guessing we came to that decision for different reasons and this is a recent realisation for you.

You think not wanting to go back to normal right now means we want lockdown forever-can't be that thick surely

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Guys, we can make the virus end tomorrow if we’re all just really, really positive about it and don’t ever even think about criticising the government.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Don’t tell anyone but I’ve actually been there. Worlds worst fairground. Fantasy island.

Which is the best then, just asking for a friend?

 

[skybluetony176]

I am curious though. How do you put a positive spin on thousands of avoidable deaths in nursing homes for instance?

Just ignore them obvs

Why do you always have to be positive? It's not negative to point out that when things are going wrong.

This you must be positive blitz spirit bollovks must end

Churchill didn't lie about the real state of play either

A fucking prick who up til now has largely supported the message of the Tories and thought Corbyn was useless. But now he's actually doing something close to what he's supposed to do (with a fair amount of self-promotion added in it must be said) you want him sacked because he's not supportive of Boris Laaadd!

He's got plenty more stuff that is worth sacking him for over the years than what he's been saying recently.

Learn the difference between negativity and critical analysis.

I'm not sure I've ever wanted to be wrong more in my life because if I am thousands of people will still be alive and that is worth as much humble pie as I can shove down my gob.

Well you'd explain that all the other European countries had around 50% infection in homes and that you'd managed to keep It out of 65% of homes .

Gyms are opening here this month now as well, from 3rd June things will be pretty much normal apart from social distancing in public and masks etc.
