You can care about it if you want that a your prerogative. There's nothing wrong with that.
I'm just far more concerned with What's going on here.
So now you are kind of saying I might have a point, but that I just shouldn't care about it?
Well for starters the USA has got quite a lot of criticism on here and rightly so seeing as they're the worst on the planet. In the other cases, it's probably because we're British so have focused on what goes on in this country lest it go even more on a tangent than it already has. I reject the idea though that it's all about hitting the Tories-they're in charge and have fucked up. We could discuss Turkey sending infected refugees across the Greek border but it's probably of much less interest because it won't affect anyone here.
But this is our country and therefore our main concern
It works the other way in that countries who have done a great job of controlling it don't get mentioned that often either.
I have a daughter working as a carer who was struggling to get PPE, their are people on here with relatives who work for the NHS, people with young kids that are being returned to return to s to, Why would we be more concerned with What is going on in Sweden or Germany?
I'm not saying you're wrong with what you have said, but the US generally gets a lot of criticism anyway because of Trump.
Again though, I'm talking mainly about world news. We are run by buffoons but my God don't people want to hammer it home.
Trump is getting the most and quite rightly, he's talking about taking ineffective drugs on national broadcasts. If it seems like the UK and USA are getting the bulk of criticism, it's because they're two of the worst countries in the world for handling this disease and also both major economies. Do you think we have an anti-UK agenda or something?
I'm generally a bit fed up of the UK myself but I really feel (especially as someone that travels a hell of a lot normally) that a lot of people do like to kick us in.
This weeks numbers are:What false fucking information, I said we tested more than yesterday which we did? What’s false about that?!?!?
Sir Patrick Vallance said a "good outcome" would be keeping deaths below 20,000. The FT modelling, which is a cautious estimate so if anything likely to be lower than the true number, put excess deaths currently at 63,600 so I think we're way past what anyone could say was acceptable or a good outcome.What is an acceptable death rate, in your view?
No, I said across the world the UK gets worse press than Sweden on this.
I've seen plenty of criticism of Swedens stance so its definitely out there. We're always going to see more about the UK as that is what is more likely to be discussed given it directly impacts us.Compare that with Sweden, and whilst I have seen critical articles, it is nowhere near on the scale than what we have had.
I’m not talking about you directly to be fair... but people are happy to talk about ‘calculated risk’ when their own calculated is zero. MP’s insisting kids should go back to school but not a single child of an MP in a private school will go back. Public transport is packed - not one of those fuckers is catching the tube into Westminster.That’s why I said 0?
But we can’t sit in lockdown forever or until a vaccine is found?

However fan boys of these clowns lap it up...
But we can’t sit in lockdown forever or until a vaccine is found? We need to find a way
From June the 1st we will be able to!!!!No one said we could...
Ive got an idea that seems to have caught on in other countries, it’s called test track and isolate.
For a country that supposedly needed to make its own way in the world as the EU was holding us back - we seem to have made ourselves simply look like the world clowns....
Government admits NHS app will not be ready for launch of contact tracing schemeFrom June the 1st we will be able to!!!!
I have genuinely found this weeks figures a bit depressing. I honestly expected them to be better than they have been.
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.But we can’t sit in lockdown forever or until a vaccine is found? We need to find a way
3 months and 35K deaths too lateFrom June the 1st we will be able to!!!!
What's the way?But we can’t sit in lockdown forever or until a vaccine is found? We need to find a way
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.
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?What's the way?
Yes it was too late should have been ready at least a month ago3 months and 35K deaths too late
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?
Really? Straight away?From June the 1st we will be able to!!!!
And only a matter of hours after Johnson had stated it would be ready for June 1st we had this.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?
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.”
And only a matter of hours after Johnson had stated it would be ready for June 1st we had this.
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 weekReally? Straight away?

Give it a fucking rest how the fuck am I meant to know? Only thing I can think of is the track and trace which is working everywhere else, can you not read?So @SkyBlueDom26 what's the way?
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.Give it a fucking rest how the fuck am I meant to know?
Sad state of affairs when stuttering and stumbling thought non-answers is considered a score draw.
How many nurses and care workers are there?
