Suziewoozie & WW2 -

Was wonderful to listen to Devi, she is great and cuts straight to the point.

Whitewavemark2 I agree. But worryingly there are so many people going about their lives quite unconcerned and refusing to take any precautions. Like the idiotic man interviewed on last night’s news boasting that he’d crossed the county border from a tier3 region to go to the pub and bookies. He proudly announced that rules were made to be broken. It’s because of these morons that we’re struggling to get on top of this virus.

I think the major thing to take away is that the NHS is in a very precarious position, far worse than the spring.

People absolutely must comply with lockdown, and that is u fortunately the unknown factor with the party season combing up.

Furlough extended must have been the row - Sunak lost

So Furlough being extended. Is there anything for businesses who are being forced to close?

Yes!!

WWmk2- I think this is probably the scenario here

Sounds more successful than the chaos we’ve been experienced.

But it's Strictly at 7:10! We all know the details now ........

WW do you mean the wonderful Devi - she’s regularly on C4, and I follow her on Twitter and read all her columns. She’s wonderful

Oh I don’t know. She is at Edinburgh I think. I was impressed with her.

Maybe he couldn't find a fridge to hide in so is now having to be released from a tumble dryer.

DH made a similar comment MissAdventure

Anyone watching the young female professor.

We should use the Asian SARS model

1. Strict control of the borders. Everyone entering the country tested and dealt with as appropriate.

2. Clear instructions to every age level about not catching it.

3. Test and trace constantly and consistently.

Aim

Eliminate as far as possible

I reckon the PM has shut himself in the toilet and is having to be cajoled to come out.

The leak was not an accident - nice to know that at a time of such seriousness there is someone in that small group of ministers and their close staff who thought leaking appropriate for whatever reason.

I’m sure this isn’t correct, but just to throw it into the mix?

Richard Murphy

Just a little speculation: is the government collapsing right now because Johnson can’t take Sunak with him, and he at least, is threatening to walk?

And we're still waiting .......

Boris’s hairdresser has had to be fetched before the great man can appear.

6.45 now!

More leaks in this Government than a very leaky sieve.

Why is nothing ever done about it?

The point is there is nothing surprising in the data! They were advised of where they would be at the end of October at least a month ago. We read it for heavens sake.

What on earth are they doing?

OH refuses to wait any longer and has gone back to the rugby- can't blame him.

FFS! What a debacle. I know that any government would be managing the unknown early on but not now!

What are they arguing about/sorting out..they must have had an idea they would be making this announcement and surely should have modelling different scenarios in preparation before today!
