But we can’t sit in lockdown forever or until a vaccine is found? We need to find a way

That's true but you don't send kids back to school when the infection rate is nowhere near under control, and there are nothing in place to stop a second wave at all.

Probably because Sweden is up front and very clearly about its strategy. The U.K. should be no where near as bad as it is considering that our government are claiming lockdown etc. That’s why the U.K. is getting scrutinised in the world press.

I think there probably should be more focus on Sweden's approach (which seems to have been a terrible choice and one we seemed very keen to do something similar to early on).

Our approach has changed depending on which way the wind is blowing, has been extremely confusing and unclear, lacking proper leadership because Johnson cares about being popular (mainly because it's the only thing he has going for him) but worse of all is the attempts to cover up or lie about what has been happening. Tests, PPE, care homes etc. They've set it up to push the blame onto the medical/science team saying "we were following their advice" when it seems we weren't or at the very least were arguing about it so it got delayed costing us precious time. Then the change of 'stay at home' so it could be pushed onto the public failing to use 'common sense' if infections rise.

The one thing we seem to have learnt is that they're the masters of fucking up and making sure someone else takes the fall.

Track and trace and the app is going to be in place and ready for June 1st boris has said....whats your way then staying in lockdown all year?

And only a matter of hours after Johnson had stated it would be ready for June 1st we had this.
The NHS smartphone app for tracking people who have been in contact with Covid-19 patients will not be ready for 1 June, when the next stage of the government’s relaxation of lockdown is due to begin, Downing Street has confirmed.

Speaking late on Tuesday, junior health minister, Lord Bethell, indicated that the government was no longer trying to get the app: “We have therefore changed the emphasis of our communications and plans to put human-contact tracing at the beginning of our plans and to regard the app as something that will come later in support,” he said.

Asked whether Lord Bethell’s comments were correct, Mr Johnson’s spokesperson told a Westminster virtual media briefing: “I wouldn’t disagree with that. I think that’s straightforward.”

so much for hydroxychloroquine. Study published in the Lancet today, looks like it does more harm that good.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)31174-0/fulltext

here's the summary:

"The findings from Mehra and colleagues' study add to preliminary reports suggesting that regimens of chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine, alone or with azithromycin, are not useful and could be harmful in hospitalised patients with COVID-19."

Your like a broken record, repeating the same stuff every post......let’s wait and see if he delivers it for when he’s said in a week

I'm like a broken record for repeating stories based on the words of the people behind the app?

This from the man that parrots everything Boris Johnson says.

Also answer the question

Bit of a change in tack in five minutes once you realised you were too distracted in sucking Johnson's Johnson to realise what you were saying was bollocks.

So... you now, I assume, accept you've been a bit of a cockwomble this evening. That's progress at least.

G's been over on the BBC articles

'Teachers always let the side down.

Never met a bigger bunch of left-wing, overgrown children. You all carry a massive chip on your shoulders as deep down you know that you should have actually left school and got a real job. Victim culture.

Time to stand up and do your bit.'

I see Dominic Cummings broke the government lockdown procedures to travel from London to Durham back in April. I’m sure he’ll be as equally vilified as that government medical advisor from a few weeks back.

My colleague lives in Bangkok and they are just opening back up bars there and they are putting screens between tables and randomly have to sit diagonally to each other. Although I reckon I could live with that for the time being just to have a pint outside my house with the lads.

Saw last night than an Offy in Longford is selling draft pints to take away and numerous pubs are now doing it as well. It is a fine balance but people are going to completely start disregarding the message soon. I was invited to a mates BBQ last night FFS!

The Cummings story leak isn't about stirring any anti Cummings feeling (unless that's part of an oust Johnson plan) but the uber cynic in me thinks its to soften public resolve on the lockdown.

There were journalists who knew about it in April but sat on it and now it comes out 6 or 7 weeks late so you may have a point.
