Nobody knows what the right answers are yet but we're sure as hell not going to get them quickly from this government unless it improves it's ramshackle approach to data gathering - it's over 4 months since the first Cobra meeting on the pandemic and they're still not getting the basics right. Try a bit harder next time and maybe you'll post something interesting... As usual you've missed the point. It;s the inconsistency from "scientists" and "professors" et al I was pointing out, more than this particular U turn. Stick to making bread, you're all over the place.

DumboBud Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Tuesday Parliament stops being virtual and all MPs need to return to work........ Wednesday a Government Minister is ill at the dispatch box and is now isolating with suspected COVID. That contract tracing call will be interesting...... maybe he should have just used his ‘Great British common sense’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I'm spot on there are no correct answers yet and there probably won't be for a few years... Correct answers are reached by examining the evidence and considering different and even conflicting ideas and repeating the process - it's usually a time consuming process... *********************** The scientific approach mentioned above is not the same as our current government running three different sets of stats on how many people are dying of Covid, considering changing the social distancing recommendations to appease the Tory right or easing lockdown restrictions before all of the previously stated targets have been met, just another shrug of the shoulders from BJ - but hey "we're all in it together"..

As for the rate of infection, why do you think it's not coming down? You may have watched the Westminster "why are we so good" Briefing earlier this evening so you might have seen some discussion on this so apologies if I'm covering old ground. Quote Sir Patrick Vallance now talks through today's data slides. He says there is a steady downward detection of new cases, however he notes the true number could be higher - up to 8,000 a day - as the data only counts those who get tested. He says that is why it is important to make sure more people get tested. On the infection rate he notes, "it is not coming down fast". "That means we have to tread very carefully," he warns.

It's been shown over the last few months umpteen scientist have been so far wrong they are as good as useless, not all, just some, and that includes you. Now, behave yourself or I'll rob your house of all the fecking toilet rolls you've stored over the last few months. If you can'y handle criticism pop off. That's a lot of hot air when "No thanks" would have sufficed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you are quite correct. It's been fascinating to watch a seemingly endless stream of poorly educated idiots, who haven't the faintest idea what science is and how science operates, quite happily making judgments about the leading scientists in our country, from their pulpit of almost total ignorance.

Cookie Monster Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 ^^^^^ makes a change from it threatening to put me in hospital [emoji23] Poor delusional fool, the only folk I've put in hospital weren't threatened. They might have been punched, kicked etc etc but i never threatened any of them. So why would I need to threaten someone as insignificant as yourself? Come to think about it, I've worked it out. Now my knowledge of psychiatry is limited, but as you made it public I hope you don't mind me reminding you. I've traced back this lying to a time that you might have had a traumatic experience. Remember that time when your wife mutually agreed separation two months before you did, it's so obviously fried the limited brain cells you had. Now run along and let the adults talk about grown up stuff. [emoji23] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what is it about your brain that is stopping ypu from saying "You know what? I have no education as regards science and that precludes me from making a reasonable judgement on its value"? Then when you've answered that perhaps you can explain why you continue to make these uneducated judgements of yours whilst chucking on a layer of sneering attitude towards other posters? Differing opinions is one thing but this months long obsession of behaving like a total dick towards everyone is baffling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are funny, better than everyone yet you have shown yourself to be an utter buffoon, not only on this thread but over the years. A weird socially inadequate, with no understanding of other people and sadly a massively ironic character. Sneering at other's is possibly the only thing you are competent in and, despite trying to court some support/pals, find yourself out on a limb time after time. Again, you're online patter, upping the sweary words and insults, is hilarious as I'm 100% sure you'd shit yourself if faced with anyone on here. Toddle off, have a cocoa and slither back into your insular life where you only mix with your family, who I pity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it could just as easily not be higher. I have already noted the death numbers have slowed down, I wouldn't say stalled, as week on week they have slowed, but not as much as I'd seen a week or two ago. I also agree things are in the balance and, as I've already said, I worry us "Brits" could feck this up, not the government, the hypocritical public.

A couple of things.....................why is the time to respond important? It's purely that I'm on the forum after you post. Creepy? Only a creep would come up with that. As for ignore, you are aware that it can be removed or are you that dim you don't get it? Overall, you're really losing any small plot you ever had, which is highly amusing. See below, the irony is honking. Can't handle it so he hides behind a supposed ignore and fails to respond. Tragic.
