He may be correct but where he was wrong was not strongly saying they should self isolate immediately. Asking to wait for fucking symptoms is plain stupid as theyâll have spread it already.

Whatâs the science behind ?
Exactly â they should all be urged to self isolate.

I cant see any logic. People here are asked to distance and isolate. 10s of thousands have been rubbing shoulders in close proximity and itâs ok.
I think the science behind it is we donât have the scale or scope to deal with the numbers coming back and deal with the consequences. A gamble, basically
Announcements planned over weekend to ramp up the lockdown. Pubs may be forced to close at 6. Government departments to close and staff reassigned. Hospital staff being reassigned. Hotels taken over
Theyâll be wrecked coming home one way or the other, hard to tell then if youâre coming down with something
The fear x 100
The govt want it to spread slowly.above a 60% infection incidence is the desired outcome
Go easy on it, alcohol will negate the positive effects of all the good stuff you are taking.
Just the one, for the constitution.
Iâm officially answering all questions from passengers and, more especially, my staff in relation to this virus with a politer version of âfuck offâ
The airport has been plagued with rumours and people with agendas spreading information they know to be untrue (for the sake of a few days off). To the best of my knowledge none of these people are medical professionals

100 cases on the island now⌠HSE to announce south figures in an hour⌠Weâll be well north of 100.
If there is one thing we could learn from the Chinese itâs how to deal with people like this. All governments should quickly pass a new law that anyone spreading panic online should be imprisoned for three months, like that Dutch cunt on the AL flight a few days ago. Lock the cunts up and let them talk to themselves for a few months.

A member of a front line government agency told an outright lie to one of my lads today and Iâd to spend the day following up on it with my higher ups, then back reassuring people afterwards. Itâs incredibly dangerous and should be punished. This lad wonât be punished thoughâŚ

I cogged the following from the Manchester United forum Red Cafe. It seems to make sense to me.
I honestly donât know what the UK Government is thinking with their strategy. If the following scenario comes even remotely close to unfolding, well, itâs the sort of thing that leads to revolutions. Even if it doesnât, I certainly think thereâs a realistic chance Johnson and Cummings will be the most hated men in British history by the end of the summer.
Having re-read the transcript of Johnsonâs press conference yesterday, you have to say that this a bold move. I have seen many describe it as a gamble, but what it really is, is a trade.
The Government are clearly happy for there to be a very high infection rate and they want this entire ordeal to be over with, quickly. There are two benefits to that: firstly, you minimise the economic impact that would inevitably occur with the prolonged use of highly-restrictive quarantine measures. Secondly, you quickly build up some measure of immunity in the population, making them more resistant to a second wave next winter. The price of those benefits, is a much higher death rate. Thatâs the trade.
To put the Governmentâs numbers in some context, Sir Patrick Vallance said that 50% of the total infections that will occur, will occur three or four weeks either side of the peak (which, on Government estimates, will be mid-June). The upper threshold for total infections in the Governmentâs scenario modelling, is 80% of the population becoming infected. That means that some 40% of the total UK population could be infected with Covid-19 during the six week period from late May to early July - that is 26 million people.
If the Chinese CDC numbers prove accurate, then we can expect 14% of those people to require hospital treatment of some sort and 8% of them to require intensive care - that is 2 million people that will require an ICU bed for critical life-saving treatment in the month of June. The UK has a total of 4,000 ICU beds (which are already 80% full). June, according to the Governmentâs own numbers, is going to be absolutely horrific. In terms of casualties, weâre essentially talking the opening day of the Battle of the Somme, every day, for more than a month. I can scarcely imagine the absolute hell that awaits NHS critical care doctors this summer.
