Of course it's also trying to avoid the same thing happening again, and trying to avoid a three month lockdown because we didn't anticipate, too.

Flu hasn't kicked in ye and when it inevitably does if it's matched to rising Covid levels we could see some truly terrifying numbers and even healthy people having a very very rough time
What are you going on about?If not a data correction we are ar eprobsly ahead of spain now and just behind Italy, in putting it down to the months going into to autumn, cases are rising sharply around the globe.
What are you going on about?
The UK’s figures are much worse than Italy‘s and have been for a long time.
I meant France, that's my mistake.What are you going on about?

Who mentioned our figures would be better? I simply said other country's don't record deaths like we doAll China's fault
WHO helped cover it up
Our figures will prove to be the best in years to come
Who mentioned our figures would be better? I simply said other country's don't record deaths like we do, and if China and who aren't to blame hina for where it originated and acting slowly and who for not investigating it properly who do we blame for screwing up the world?
The mixed messages are shit but I think it's mainly because the virus is something nobody has experienced before i mean we haven't had a pandemic this bad since what 1918? Governments around the world will learn from this and put in mesaurments to stop it happening again.
Didn’t we run a scenario to see how prepared we were for this, but completely ignore it? This was under prev govt I think. Also a global pandemic is not such a surprise, it’s actually more of a surprise that something like this hasn’t happened before now, at any given time there are all kinds of horrific diseases on the loose or being studied in labs, bottom line is that this was always going to happen sometime.
We've made several plans in recent years, the Influenza Pandemic Preparedness Strategy in 2011, the Health and Social Care Influenza Pandemic Preparedness and Response in 2012 and Pandemic Influenza Response Plan in 2014.Didn’t we run a scenario to see how prepared we were for this, but completely ignore it?

There was a US epidemiologist embedded with the Chinese CDC as an 'early warning system' as there was a widespread belief that China wouldn't be open about any emerging issues and would instead downplay their seriousness or even attempt to cover them up all together. Trump pulled funding for that position in July 2019 and the epidemiologist returned to the US 5 months before the first case in China.Most experts on the subject knew we were overdue a pandemic of this type. Trump fired his
On a local level, one of my favourite pubs had an incident recently. Think it's worth sharing as it shows what morons some people are, and how challenging it is in the pub industry just atm!

It doesn't say what they did, but it reads a bit like a party were overly touchy feely on meeting one another. Whatever, sounds like the reaction from them was out of proportion to the request to follow the rules.What a dick. All he’s going to achieve is getting his local shut down.
We need to start bringing charges against these anti mask morons. I guarantee the guy has #KBF in his Twitter profile.
On a purely basic level, I get annoyed (moreThere was a demo in my local town a couple of weeks ago, about 50 people rocked up with banners saying "the media is the virus, no to masks, end lockdown" & trying to harass passers by with leaflets & with their conspiratorial views on COVID. These guys were filthy, to the point where I doubt the virus would want to go near them for fear of catching something even worse. There were a few arrests, and it turns out now that 5 of the protestors & 1 copper is now symptomatic & positive, god knows who else has it without realising after going near them.
I get that there are conspiracies around, and its understandable to question everything in this day and age, but surely its got to the point now with COVID where its beyond any doubt that its real & whatever you think of the govt or authorities, if you don't take precautions you're putting yourself & others at huge risk? I am struggling to empathise with the kind of mind that thinks its all made up purely to restrict & control people.
The people who think it's a hoax still, do they think the people getting sick and dying are just really committed to a lie?
They don’t think anyone’s dying cos they don’t know anyone who is. And “they” are putting down corona as cause of death when really it’s flu or something.
I have a COVID denier mate. Heard it all first hand. Even people he’s known for decades telling him theyve seen it doesn’t trump Free Speech Derek on YouTube. Sad to see.

These type of fucking idiots are going to bring down civilisation.
I'm convinced it's a type of denial. They know these Muppets they listen to are fucking idiots but it's easier than confronting the realities of the world.
In fairness when so many get it with no symptoms, which is freakishly unusual for a virus, it’s sort of understandable to see complacency.

Now you can think I'm being overly cautious in not allowing you to invade my personal space but... I waited a good five minutes for the elderly couple in front of me to finish up before I went in, because it was common courtesy. Nothing to do with a virus that - it didn't hurt me to give a little bit of consideration to somebody whose world view was slightly different to mine and, likewise, the same with the couple behind me. They'd have got in quickly enough and if they didn't want to queue, get there earlier!
See, that's exactly why I avoid places with childrenOn a flip side, I had a rather unpleasant exchange with a grumpy couple who tutted & scowled at my kids over the weekend. My kids passed by this couple...maybe a little closer than the recommended 2 metres, but certainly did not invade their personal space.....and we were outside in the fresh air. The woman in particular was unnecessarily aggressive towards my youngest, so I pointed out that if she & her henpecked husband were THAT paranoid about the virus, perhaps they should re-think visiting a busy National Trust cafe on a sunny day in lake district and maybe go somewhere less crowded.
Whilst I agree you've gotta be a special kind of idiot to think its all a hoax, you've also gotta be naïve in the extreme to not realise the control & power grabbed by governments around the world during this pandemic will not be rescinded.....dangerous times indeed.
Manners cost nothing, but there are always gonna be selfish impatient cunts who believe they're the only ones that matter.

NHS staff could be getting a vaccine before Christmas.
No sorry. It’s not understandable to sit at a BBQ and tell NHS and care workers they’re lying and someone else that their gran didn’t die of corona. I know you’ve got your issues but this is different level.
Someone i went to school with loves posting covid denier stuff on knobbook, mixes up with a little anti vaccine nonsense as well.
