Michael W Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Granted that it may be a warning etc, there is no rationale for not having the PM or, at the very least, Hancock, there too. Whitty and Vallance are advisors; they're not elected and shouldn't be making presentations to public without the decision makers there. Johnson and Hancock have presumably pied it so they didn't have to bumble through questions they have no idea how to answer.

Johnson only works six hours a week so they need to prioritise him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 50k cases a day within a few weeks. They're mwi? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_dog Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Also thought it was good to see them talk about deaths from flu v deaths from Covid-19. Approximately 7,000 deaths from flu last year (which was admittedly a good year), but even the bad year we had a few years back was around 20,000 deaths. We've already had considerably more than that from Covid-19, and we're only just heading into the peak season for respiratory illnesses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 I think doing a briefing like that is good but there should be a political one later today for them to announce the measures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said if cases continue to double in 7 or 8 days as they are doing right now, that's what could happen, but they also said there are already measures in place that should slow that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But without them saying how likely they thought that was to happen it is completely pointless. The graph could have shown a trebling or a quadrupling. That chart they showed without context is pointless. We are no further forward knowing what they actually think will happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they said that this was unlikely to happen. These presentations are a complete waste of time, that's three different interpretations on what was said... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that the 15% who weren't caring before aren't going to start caring now, and the 85% of folk who have done their best to follow the rules as best as their can are just going to resent being spoken to like idiots. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd tell throbber we were going to a children's party, so we'll have plenty of cooking lager to see us through. This would be very warm and intimate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont even make sense and I'm yet to hear what Bill Gates and George Soros intend to do with us all when directing us via 5G controlled implants delivered via mandatory COVID vaccination. It's a cull mate. Population control, which can only mean 10% of us are killed by it. He talks about it in his presentations ffs!!1!
