Just for reference for us all, give us your response to these simple questions- Firstly, in your opinion, what would you have advocated as your response to covid19 when it first appeared? Secondly, what would be your preferred response right here and now, as the situation actually stands? Something for us all to bookmark I'm sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I’ve said before, I believe the Swedish model is the one we should have and should be following. They have closed primary schools, asked people to work from home where they can, isolated the vulnerable and banned mass gatherings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, coming round to thinking this virus will be among us for a good couple of years yet. Can't see pubs / restaurants / the football starting again in that timeframe. Economy will take a tanking obviously, which will take upwards of a decade to recover from. The life we all knew before, will be a very, very long time in coming back . Apologies for being the prophet of doom. No pubs, restaurants or football for a couple of years? You sir, need to go for a lie down 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested to see how long it takes the UK's gormless medical experts to U-turn on their face masks are useless line and produce yet another infallible 'model' to justify their stance. I'd give it until the end of this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your 21,320 is a group of conditions, not 1 single condition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
