Re: Coronavirus contact tracing app - will you use it?

Stop being a bunch of wankers and do your bit and use the app. Maybe we can then get out of this lock down.

Re: Opinions on how the Government have handled the coronavirus outbreak

...It can be dangerous to hide behind experts and maybe gut instinct is more the way to go in an emergency than looking at science alone. You just described Trump's entire gameplan. :lol: Trump has got the wrong type of instinct. That of a self serving idiot who doesn't have the wit to fully compre...

Re: Opinions on how the Government have handled the coronavirus outbreak

Sweden has fewer deaths per head of population than the UK and they haven't had an economy wrecking lockdown. I can't find any reason to criticise the Swedish Governemnt over their handling of Coronavirus. It is my understwnding that Sweden banned mass gatherings early on. Here we had all the Gover...

Re: Opinions on how the Government have handled the coronavirus outbreak

I probably just spend too much time talking to other moaning old lefties. :lol: You're right about people happy to be told what to do, though. More people need (in my biased opinion) to be prepared to question the status quo and hold this government to account. With 600 plus a day dying I think it'...

Re: Opinions on how the Government have handled the coronavirus outbreak

I don't get the PPE problem. Apparently Scotland and Wales have enough. Companies are making a lot though probably barely enough. It is likely the distribution system has not been properly sorted yet. I've yet to see any pictures of Intensive care staff that aren't fully kitted out. Someone hasn't b...

Re: Opinions on how the Government have handled the coronavirus outbreak

if you go 99 yrs without one it gets more likely it will happen soon. Just to be picky,that’s not how it works, The probability that a pandemic happens in any given year is constant, it doesn't increase with time. What you have said is a variation of the gamblers fallacy. I'm quite aware of probabi...

Re: Opinions on how the Government have handled the coronavirus outbreak

There was a cross-government pandemic drill (Exercise Cygnus) that took place in 2016, which accurately predicted that the NHS would be plunged into crisis by an infectious and deadly disease. We've had that long at least to prepare, and plan for, this pandemic. You can Google it, or there's one of...

Re: Obits

Not music related but just read Stirling Moss has passed at 90 (not virus related). RIP. Still the biggest name in British motor racing history.
